Every resource you need to have success with your HCG 2.0 diet protocol is contained herein.

Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone,” and for good reason. Produced by your adrenal glands, cortisol helps regulate your body’s response to stress. In short bursts, cortisol is helpful—it gives you the energy to handle emergencies, adapt to stressful events, and recover from illness or injury. But when cortisol levels remain high due to chronic stress, sleep deprivation, inflammation, or poor diet, it can begin to work against your health—and your weight.

Success Favors the Prepared Mind “A diet need not be the undertaking of a lifetime to yield life-changing results.” That’s not a quote I found on a mug — I said it.

When it comes to weight loss, alcohol gets a bad rap. In this blog we'll break it down scientifically. But first, let's discuss the elephant in the room. We're all adults here so let's not get carried away. I'll say the same thing to you that I did to my son when he left for college - Don't be that guy! It's ok to be the second drunkest at the party, because everybody is the second drunkest when compared to the sloppy one. Keep it together. Same holds true for Thanksgiving

The Loading Phase of HCG 2.0 is often overlooked, but it is critical to your early success. The most exaggerated weight loss on the HCG Diet is happens in the early stages of the diet. HCG weight loss is very unique in that regard when compared to other diets. There is no better time to load than Thanksgiving. Let’s be honest:The holidays aren’t just stressful because of travel, family, and gift shopping… They’re stressful because they knock your health off course. B

You’ve heard the phrase "fat and happy"  before, right? It’s tossed around casually, as if it makes everything okay. And let me be the first to say—I want you to be happy. Genuinely and legitimately happy. You deserve that. But self-awareness means we ask tougher questions, even when things feel good on the surface.

So, are you too old? Absolutely not. But you may need to adjust your expectations. Your journey at 78 isn’t about chasing the body you had at 28. It’s about finding ways to stay active, vibrant, and healthy enough to keep doing the things you love.

If you’ve researched the HCG diet, you’ve probably come across references to Dr. Simeons’ original protocol from his book Pounds and Inches. That original plan, still followed in many circles, includes a loading phase, followed by a strict 500-calorie very low-calorie diet (VLCD) supported with HCG. While it has helped many people lose weight, it’s also outdated and overly rigid. That’s where HCG 2.0 comes in — called "The Best Diet You've Never Heard Of," by eWellness Magaz

First things first—congratulations! You're nearly through your HCG 2.0 protocol, the weight is coming off, your body is changing, and you’re proving to yourself that transformation is possible. I'm mostly speaking to 300 people that began the diet over the Labor Day Weekend, but if you've lost weight on the HCG diet, you know what I'm talking about. But now comes the part most people don’t talk nearly enough about: maintenance. After losing 20–30 pounds in such a short time,

"I’ve seen thousands of clients succeed with HCG Drops alone, but when they add the B12.HCG Nasal Spray to their routine? That’s when they really start to cruise. It’s an affordable upgrade that can make all the difference." ~Dr. Zach

Let’s set the record straight: HCG often gets an undeserved bad rap—but not because of what it is. It’s because we’re having the wrong conversation. In the obesity debate, the real danger doesn’t come from the minute amounts of HCG used in dieting protocols—it comes from the very real and measurable risks of staying overweight. We’re talking heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic inflammation—the list goes on. And while critics fixate on a few hundred IUs of HC

Results are important! However, there is much more to maintaining a healthy weight than the numbers on the scale. Taste is an acquire sense. While you're losing your 20-30 pounds in 30-40 days with HCG 2.0 you need to focus on what will happen after. That's when the real "diet" begins.

The Word "Diet" Has Mistakenly Assumed a Short-Term Connotation - Let's Get it Right! But don't worry, I've located it and paid the ransom. I'm bringing diet back -YEAH! Somewhere along the way, it stopped meaning “the way a person habitually eats” and started meaning “a temporary sprint to lose weight before a vacation.” But here’s the thing—your diet isn’t just a quick fix or a New Year’s resolution. It’s your relationship with food, and like any relationship, if it’s b

My Mom was ahead of her time. In any and all homes, the kitchen is a special place. It's not a place you should be scared of. And the tasty goodness that is created within should be remembered and savored! Today would’ve been my mom’s 72nd birthday. I lost her when she was just 38, a tragic car accident that also took my 12-year-old sister. It was a one-in-a-million event—completely unpreventable. But here’s the cruel irony: my mom was the most health-conscience person I’ve e
