The hCG Diet as set forth by Dr. ATW Simeons in the 1950’s is designed to make sure the necessary nutrients that a person needs are attained. The daily lean protein requirement is more than met. Two servings each of vegetables and fruits are required, which is more than most people eat in a day. If one ate only the food on the diet, there is no question that this much food would not be enough to provide the daily necessary vitamins and minerals. There are Carbs. and 1 TBL. of dairy, although minimal, allowed daily.
Some physicians allow supplements to provide the extra nutritional needs not obtained from the foods on the diet. Most people don’t even get proper vitamins in a regular diet, and taking supplements while on the diet could induce a habit they can continue for life. Basically, the hCG making use of the excess fat reserves, provides the additional support needed. Dieters should remember that all menu items on the diet are fresh or frozen; nothing canned or packaged with preservatives. This in itself is an added bonus.
So, the rumor of the hCG Diet having poor nutrition is simply just a myth. The food choices on the diet are very nutritious and healthy, and the diet teaches portion control with lifestyle changes in eating habits, and please remember this protocol is not a lifelong commitment, but rather a short-term weight loss effort with great success rates over the long-term.
