Phase 3

Phase 3 consists of a three week period of time. Phase 3 is a Trudeau coined term; Dr. Simeons called this three week period “Concluding a Course”. During this three week period, anything can be eaten that you would like, with two exceptions: NO starch and NO sugar.

Dr. Simeons advised his patients to up their calories, add back in good fats and avoid carbohydrates in the form of starch and sugar. You are to weigh yourself daily, every morning after you have gone to the bathroom but before you do anything else, and keep your weight to within 2 pounds of your Last Injection Weight (LIW).

Phase 4

Phase 4 is the period that begins once that 3 week no starch, no sugar phase ends. Sugar and starch can be added back into the diet slowly, but you must watch the morning weigh in number. Dr. Simeons was insistent that no more than 2 pounds could be gained without measures being taken to lose it.

A lot of people think Phase 4 means going back to eating how they ate before they lost the weight, and you soon see them back in the online community complaining that they are gaining the weight back. Phase 4 is a maintenance phase, and the way you will eat for the rest of your life. Good eating habits must be adapted and used. A person has to make lifestyle dietary changes during the entire treatment phase in order to be successful and maintain with their weight loss.

Rounds and Phases

When you hear HCG users talk about rounds, it simply means how many times a person has used HCG + VLCD. Round 1, of course, is a newbie using HCG for the first time and is noted as R1P2, Round One of Phase 2. Once a person has gone through the entire Simeons treatment time table and is ready to use HCG again, they are on R2P2, which is Round 2 of Phase 2, so on and so on. Someone that has stopped taking HCG and is in the Concluding a Course phase will say they are in R1P3, or Round 1 of Phase 3. If they have finished a second round of HCG, it is known as R2P3, Round 2 of Phase 3, etc., etc.
