One of the many beauties of the HCG diet is that the HCG diet supplies do not consist of expensive frozen meals. In fact, it does not contain anything else that you shouldn’t already be eating (such as lean meats and fresh fruits and vegetables) or taking (such as vitamin supplements) anyway.
The HCG Recipe Guide
When you buy an HCG diet kit from HCG Diet Direct, you also get a recipe guide and B-vitamin supplements. The recipe guide is essential, because you want to be able to eat meals that taste good and that you can look forward to eating.
The key of the HCG diet is to learn and explore the pleasures of health. Part of this is finding out how healthy foods can be fun to prepare and eat. In addition, it gives you a whole lot more energy than a grease-drippy fast-food burger and French fries, which only vaguely resemble the potatoes they once supposedly were.
The B-Vitamins Supplement
The B-vitamin supplement is something you should take whether you’re on the HCG diet or not. Just like the foods, in larger portions of course, are what you should be eating anyway. B-vitamins give you energy. They convert carbs into glucose, your body’s preferred energy source. They defend your body against the negative effects of stress.
B-12 deficiency, from which a large portion of the population is believed to suffer, can cause you to be tired, have impaired immune function, and even display symptoms of mild dementia.
Nutritional Deficiency and Obesity are Closely Linked
It’s important to realize that nutritional deficiencies and obesity are aspects of the same illness. Your body isn’t getting what it needs, so it craves more and more, but if you don’t eat the foods that supply necessary vitamins and minerals, those cravings will never be satisfied. It is entirely possible to be simultaneously obese and malnourished. Therefore, a vitamin and mineral supplement such as HCG Diet Direct’s HCG Diet Metabolizer and Energy Supplement, should be taken daily whether on the diet or off of it.

Therese, I am not sure why your friends doctor would have told her not to use steiva. We find that stevia is the best sweetener to use. The only ones that we allow on our diet are stevia and saccharine.
My friend’s HCg Dr. told her not to use stevia as it will hinder her from losing weight. Why is that? Dr. Simeon said it to be okay.
There was a technical issue that’s why it took so long to answer your questions. We do apologize.
There are many different reasons why you may not be loosing. If you read the Dr. Simeons’ Protocol (which we have on the home page of the website) it will help you to understand that a plateau is perfectly normal for most people to experience. Here are some plateau breakers:
Increase water amount (2-3 quarts per day)
Try to add a glass of green tea
Try a laxative (our Colon & Liver cleanse work great)
Are you taking our HCG diet Maximum Metabolizer & B-total? (these help immensely)
Don’t eat apples for the fruit or cut down on the size
Cut beef out
Take out breadsticks/ Melba toast
If none of these things work you can do what they call “An apple day” where you eat nothing but 6-8 apples all day, or taking a laxative to get over this plateau in your diet.
Prescription HCG is usually pure pharmaceutical grade HCG with no supporting elements to help it perform at 100 percent. Prescription HCG can be very effective but must be obtained and monitored only by a licensed medical physician or it is considered against law along with very expensive. Pure HCG is usually administered by injection only.
Our non-prescription HCG Formula is homeopathically derived and blended with other effective natural ingredients, which not only makes it legally obtainable with out a prescription, but also makes it safer and more affordable, with the same average weight losses of prescription HCG.
We have had hundreds upon hundreds of customers whom have done both the shots and our drops and have preferred our drops. Not only for the fact they don’t have to give themselves shots and that it is much lighter on their pocket books but that it is just as effective….if not better. We have specially formulated our drops with added fat burners, appetite suppressants and amino acids.
Oranges are okay to eat. If you would like to cut them out of your diet, that is fine. Mixing veggies could be your problem. In the instruction guide for the diet we do say choose from ONE the following veggies. Green salad means green lettuce only, not the other veggies added in.
Hi,
I’m in a terrible quandry. I lost a net of 5 pounds the first week with the diet and drops, but his past 5 days I have only lost a half pound. I can’t see that I have done anything wrong with my eating. Is there something you can suggest? Are your drops the REAL HCG?
I also see that an orange is NOT on the original Dr. Simeon’s Protocol. Is it OK to eat the orange? And what about a salad of mixed greens, tomato, etc? What does “green salad” in the diet actually mean? It clearly says NOT to mix vegetables. Could this be my problem?
Thanks,
Susan
