The Simeons Diet (see yesterday’s blog) is the diet that was and is being used with HCG injections. HCG injections are a placebo and do not work. If you are taking HCG injections or HCG drops or HCG tablets, stop immediately. You could be harming yourself. The American Society of Bariatric Physicians issued a position […]

Here’s my 2010 update of the Simeons Diet, the most successful injection Quick Weight Loss Diet in history. The Simeons Diet is a 600-800 calorie diet. When it’s been studied, there’s no significant difference in weight loss on 500 calories a day compared to 800 calories a day. Clinically, Dr. Simeons specific combination of foods […]

The problem with low carb fake foods, and low carb not-so-fake foods, is that they tend to take your carbohydrate intake way too high, and your calories up to stupid – so they stop weight loss. If you are eating much over 10 grams of carbohydrate per feeding, you are probably not going to lose […]

Once you understand that there’s no magic, that you need to eat 500-1500 calories to lose weight, and you’ll lose weight twice as fast on 1500 caloreis of protein and fat, as you will on 1500 calories of carbohydrate – the trick is to find a way to allow youself to stay on 500-1500 calories […]

It takes 2-3 days to deplete your liver glycogen supply on a low carbohydrate (5-10 grams of carbohydrate per feeding) diet. After that, your hunger significantly decreases and your sweet and starch cravings almost completely disappear. Getting through your first 2-3 days is the problem. There are 2 approaches that work best, for different reasons. […]

Posting calories on the menu at McDonald’s and Starbucks won’t help you lose weight, because successful weight loss is more about limiting fat storage than limiting excess calories. Cutting calories doesn’t work, because if you just cut your calories without reducing your carbohydrate intake, the bet is you’ll be way too hungry to successfully cut […]

Everyone make weight loss way too complicated. If it can’t Walk, Swim or Fly – don’t put it in your mouth. Eat any vegetable you want (without butter or oil), except peas, potatoes or corn. Don’t eat anything else. NO milk, yogurt, fruit, juice, bread, flour, cereal, rice, pasta, sugar, ice cream, candy, crackers, etc. […]

All diets that work are crash diets, because slow, steady weight loss doesn’t work. You won’t put up with the all the deprivation of dieting, to lose just half a pound a week. And worse, if you’re only losing half a pound a week, you can undo months of weight loss in a single splurge. […]

The advantage of high protein crash diets is the monotony, the structure and the quick weight loss. The disadvantage is the monotony and the structure. Medically speaking, there’s no science that suggests slow weight loss retrains your eating habits or shrinks your stomach. There’s also no science that suggests if you lose weight slowly, you […]

Crash diet are generally safe and effective, as long as you are eating enough protein (50-75 grams of protein a day) and drinking enough water (at least a gallon, 128 ounces) or non-caloric fluid a day. There’s no agreement in medicine about what a crash diet is, except that a crash diet is very low […]
