Already on GLP-1s?
This unique package is creating a buzz. It combines our prescription grade HCG, our original HCG Diet Drops first introduced in 2009 and our transdermal HCG Patches which are loaded with appetite suppressants and energy boosters.
Users in our private Facebook group have developed their own unique strategies for combining them with your GLP-1 prescription.
If you are already taking a GLP-1 prescription such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, you do not need to wait until you finish your medication to begin HCG 2.0. In fact, the period when your appetite is quieter may be the best opportunity you have had in years to learn how to eat differently.
The goal is not simply to add another product to your routine. The goal is to use the appetite-control window created by your GLP-1 to introduce structure, better food choices, and a deliberate approach to weight loss.
Step 1 — Begin with your HCG 2.0 BMR calculation.
Determine your individual calorie target before beginning the low-calorie phase. Your BMR calculation provides the foundation for establishing how much you should eat during your HCG 2.0 round.
Step 2 — Begin your HCG 2.0 round.
Follow the HCG 2.0 protocol and product directions as provided. Because your GLP-1 is already helping reduce appetite and food noise, you may find it easier to transition into the structured phase of the program.
Step 3 — Follow the HCG 2.0 eating plan for 20–30 days.
A 20-day round can be effective, but a full 30-day round is preferred when appropriate. The objective is not simply to create a calorie deficit. It is to learn how to make those calories count.
Prioritize:
-
Adequate protein
-
Healthy sources of dietary fat
-
Plenty of vegetables and other nutrient-dense foods
-
Limited carbohydrates, with the HCG 2.0 protocol generally keeping carbohydrates below 30 grams per day
-
Little to no highly processed carbohydrates or added sugars
When you are eating less, the quality of what you eat matters more—not less.
Step 4 — Use the quiet appetite to build better habits.
This is the most important part of the program. Do not allow your GLP-1 to simply make it easier to eat less of the same foods. Use the reduced appetite to learn what satisfying, nutrient-dense eating actually looks like.
The pen can quiet the appetite. You still have to decide what goes on the plate.
Step 5 — Take an HCG break after your round.
After completing your HCG 2.0 round, take an equivalent break from HCG before beginning another round. For example, a 30-day HCG round is followed by a 30-day break. During this time, continue following the HCG 2.0 maintenance approach and your prescribed GLP-1 regimen as directed by your healthcare provider.
The break is not a return to your old diet. It is where the education becomes a habit.
Step 6 — Repeat the cycle when appropriate.
If additional weight loss is desired, another HCG 2.0 round may be started after the appropriate break. Continue using your GLP-1 prescription exactly as directed by your prescribing healthcare professional.
The objective is not to remain dependent on a complicated system forever. It is to use the opportunity you have now to become better at eating while you are eating less.
Remember: Your GLP-1 prescription can help quiet the appetite. HCG 2.0 provides structure for what you do with that opportunity.
Begin HCG 2.0 with Your GLP-1 Prescription
If you are starting a GLP-1 prescription and HCG 2.0 at the same time, you have an opportunity to establish the right habits from the beginning rather than trying to correct them later.
The sequence matters.
Step 1 — Begin your GLP-1 prescription first.
Take your first GLP-1 injection approximately 3–4 days before beginning the HCG 2.0 loading phase, unless your prescribing healthcare professional has instructed you otherwise.
This gives the medication time to begin establishing itself while allowing you to start the HCG 2.0 protocol deliberately.
Step 2 — Begin HCG 2.0 on the first day of your loading phase.
Follow the HCG 2.0 product directions and begin the loading phase as outlined in the protocol.
The loading phase is intended to be a deliberate preparation for the low-calorie phase—not an invitation to fill up on sugar and processed carbohydrates. Emphasize nutritious, higher-fat foods such as eggs, avocado, salmon, nuts and seeds, quality meats, and other appropriate whole-food sources of fat.
Step 3 — Complete the loading phase, then transition to your calculated calorie target.
Once the loading phase is complete, transition into the HCG 2.0 low-calorie phase using the calorie target established by your HCG 2.0 BMR calculation.
By this point, your HCG 2.0 protocol is underway and your GLP-1 prescription is beginning to reduce appetite. This is where the two approaches come together: rather than simply eating less, you begin learning how to eat better while eating less.
Step 4 — Follow the HCG 2.0 protocol for 20–30 days.
For best results, a full 30-day round is preferred when appropriate.
During the round, emphasize:
-
Adequate protein
-
Healthy fats
-
Abundant vegetables and phytonutrient-rich foods
-
Limited carbohydrates
-
Little to no highly processed carbohydrates or added sugars
-
The calorie target established by your HCG 2.0 BMR calculation
The goal is not to see how little you can eat. The goal is to make the food you do eat work harder for you.
Step 5 — Stay consistent with your GLP-1 prescription.
Continue your GLP-1 medication according to the instructions provided by your prescribing healthcare professional. Do not change, reduce, or discontinue your prescription based on the HCG 2.0 program without discussing those changes with your prescriber.
Step 6 — Complete your HCG round, then take an equivalent break.
After a 30-day HCG 2.0 round, take approximately 30 days off HCG while continuing your prescribed GLP-1 and following the HCG 2.0 maintenance approach.
During the break, do not abandon the habits you established during your round. This is the time to practice eating well without relying on the structure of an active HCG round.
Step 7 — Repeat the rhythm when appropriate.
If additional weight loss is desired, you may repeat the HCG 2.0 cycle following the appropriate break period and while continuing your prescribed GLP-1 regimen.
The purpose of this approach is bigger than losing weight.
It is to use the period when your appetite is finally under control to learn something you should have been taught a long time ago:
How to eat while you're eating less.
Important: HCG 2.0 is intended to be used as part of a structured dietary program. GLP-1 medications are prescription medications and should be used only as directed by your prescribing healthcare professional. If you have questions about combining HCG 2.0 with your medication, particularly if you have diabetes or take medications that may require adjustment as your food intake.
