How Does the Low-Calorie Phase of the Original 500-Calorie HCG Diet Differ from HCG 2.0?
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 While it has helped many people lose weight, it’s also outdated and overly rigid.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

The Real Dangers of the HCG Diet (Spoiler: It’s Not What You Think)
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

Who Does Your Health Belong To? Ask Yourself that Question as You Begin Your Weight Loss Protocol...
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.

Ozempic, Wegovy, and the Weight Loss Lie: Is HCG 2.0 the Safer, Faster Alternative?
You don't need a Pen, you need a PLAN. On the other hand, HCG is a naturally hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy with the sole purpose of providing a 24/7 calorie source for the growing baby. While on the HCG diet, HCG is supplemented for the same purpose - It allows the dieter to aggressively reduce caloric intake because they are sustained by their typically stubborn fat reserves - thus resulting in rapid/healthy weight loss.
