Weekly Schedule (40-Injection) HCG Diet Week 1 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Start Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Finish Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 Table Injections of 0.25 cc HCG Injection of Vitamin B12 (Saturday at Nucea or weekdays at Pace Clinic) No injections, continue diet All foods allowed except starches and sugars Eat whatever, whenever, and as much as you like The Diet Breakfast: I prefer Crystal Light™. However Dr. Simeons suggests tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours. Saccharin or Stevia may be used. Lunch: 1. 100 grams (3 ½ Ounces) of veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried or pickled fish are not allowed. 2. One type (3 ½ Ounces) of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage. 3. One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast. 4. An apple, orange, or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit. Dinner : The same four choices as lunch (above.) Additional Diet Information The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing. Tea, coffee, plain water, Crystal Light ™ or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. In fact, you should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day. Many patients are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements. The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal. No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may be used without special permission. There is no objection to breaking up the two meals. For instance, having a breadstick and an apple for breakfast or an orange before going to bed provided they are deducted from the regular meals. The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any item saved from the previous day be added on the following day. It is recommended to get a food scale and weigh all meats and vegetables raw before cooking. Remove all fat before weighing and cooking. Spicy foods can help to be more satisfying and help increase water intake. Recommend Daily Food Menu Breakfast One Fruit serving and one Melba Toast Lunch 3 ½ ounces Protein and 3 ½ ounces Vegetable Snack One Fruit serving and one Melba Toast Dinner 3 ½ ounces Protein and 3 ½ ounces Vegetable Bedtime Fluids only More Tips HCG must be refrigerated. You may draw all syringes up at once and keep them in the fridge or do so daily. HCG will keep its potency for about 60 days. Track your daily food and water intake with www.fitday.com (free) or a notebook. Weigh yourself daily. Never stray from the HCG food menu. For example, when it says chicken breast, do not assume that a turkey breast is OK. Men will generally lose weight faster than women. The following are some helpful websites to use with the diet. http://www.hcgalabama.com/pounds-and-inches.pdf (Dr. Simeons Protocol) http://fitday.com/ and http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ HCG Injection Instructions The best time to give yourself HCG injections is every morning around the same time each day. Injection is to be given mid-thigh just to the outside edge. Step 1 Fill the syringe to the 0.25 cc line with HCG (initially fill to 0.5 cc line then push out extra HCG and any air bubbles down to 0.25 cc line). Step 2 Cleanse site with alcohol wipe and allow skin to dry, then uncap needle. Step 3 Inject the HCG by holding the syring in the middle like a dart and push it quickly into the skin at a 90 degree angle. Insert the needle completely, then depress the plunger and inject the HCG in a quick fashion. Step 4 Remove the needle from the skin straight and quickly and place a band-aid if desired. Step 5 Dispose of your needle in a sharps container, never directly into the trash. Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is HCG? It is a natural hormone produced in the body of pregnant females. It is collected from pregnant female urine and prepared for injection. 2. How does HCG work? HCG helps the body to “mobilize” fat and use it as energy for a pregnant mom and the fetus. This is important because many women are quite sick for the first trimester of pregnancy and are unable to eat or if they do are so nauseated that they can not keep anything down. HCG helps the mom and fetus to have adequate energy and to not “starve” when mom is unable to eat a necessary amount of calories. It more or less unlocks abnormal fat for this energy. HCG for weight loss does not mimic a pregnancy state, but helps burn-off unwanted fat stores. 3. Is HCG safe? Yes, all women have HCG in their body when pregnant. Research for over 50 years have shown no side effects with the small amount used in weight loss for either men or women. 4. If I simply starve myself, won’t I loose the same amount of weight? Yes, however, you will loose different weight and will feel much hungrier. Simply not eating will break down normal fat cells and protein/muscle mass. However, HCG helps the body used abnormal stored fat for energy instead of decreasing bone density and muscle mass. 5. Can I take HCG while on other medications? Yes, HCG generally does not react with other medications, however, first talk with the healthcare provider about what you are currently taking. 6. What is the Vitamin B12 for? Vitamin B12 is an important vitamin you usually get from food. It helps make red blood cells and keeps your nervous system working right. It also helps your energy levels. 7. How much weight can I expect to loose on the HCG diet? On the average most clients loose about 20 pounds per month. When the diet is started weight loss is quicker at about 10 pounds the first week.

Lindon, Utah 84042 801-785-7020 405 South Main Street Springville, Utah 84663 801-491-2238 Consent for Human Chorionic Gonadatropin (hCG) Weight-Loss Program I request and consent to injections of hCG and strict dietary restrictions for the purpose of losing weight. I understand this will be monitored by the medical providers at Pace Clinic and or Nucea Health and Fitness. I understand that as part of the program I will be given a limited physical and orientation to the program, will be instructed on how to administer the injections myself or make arrangements to have someone do so. I understand that initial blood tests may be performed to rule out any conditions that would disqualify me from the program or require any prior treatment before starting the program. I agree to immediately report any problems that might occur to the medical provider during the treatment program. I further understand that there could be risks involved as there are with all medications and that not complying with the dosage recommendations and dietary restrictions could increase risks and alter the results. Product information is available upon request. The usage guidelines noted in the product information are consistent with 125 IU HCG daily and 1 CC Vitamin B12 Weekly. There are currently no studies available at this dosage outlining possible risks. I understand that hCG is not FDA approved for weight loss. I also understand that there is medical evidence to support use of hCG for this purpose. The medical providers at Pace Clinic and/or Nucea provide instruction on how to administer the HCG injections and that I understand correct procedure and can safely administer the injections. I agree that I am, and will be under the care of my primary care physician or another medical provider for all other conditions. Pace Clinic and/or Nucea works in conjunction with, but cannot replace, regular primary care physicians, such as general practitioners or other specialists in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine. HCG has not been demonstrated to be an effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets. I understand the medical providers at Pace Clinic and/or Nucea only prescribe hCG and medication necessary for this treatment with hCG only as part of the weight loss program. Because we are committed to enabling our patients to obtain and maintain health and wellness naturally, and the services provided by our office are based upon a natural and preventative approach, it is rare that this program is covered by insurance companies. Weight loss, in general, is rarely covered by insurance companies. For this reason, we do not accept or bill insurance for this program. Once labs are done, the physical is performed, and the treatment is started, we cannot honor any refund requests based on scheduling conflicts, missed doses, unsatisfactory results, etc. If blood work is indicated, the test will be conducted by a licensed lab and the fee added to your initial visit fee. I have read Dr. Simeons Protocol (Pounds and Inches) and understand all of the above and have been informed of potential side effects and risks that may be associated with the hCG protocol , and release Pace Cinic and/or Nucea of any liability. I understand that if I experience any unusual, unexplainable, or unexpected symptoms, I will discontinue the program immediately and contact Pace Clinic and/or Nucea and my personal physician. I fully understand what I am signing and hereby request and consent to weight-loss treatment using injections of hCG. If female, I verify that I am NOT pregnant, NOT trying to get pregnant, and NOT nursing a baby. Patient Signature: ____________________________________________ Date: _____________
