Drinks and
Seasonings
The juice of
one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes.
Salt,
pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley,
thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil,
butter or dressing.
Tea, coffee,
plain water, or mineral water (2 liters of water per day is
recommended) are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken
in any quantity and at all times.
The fruit or
the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch
or dinner, but not more than than four items listed for lunch
and dinner may be eaten at one meal.
No medicines
or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may
he used without special permission.
Portions and specially prepared unsweetened, low calorie foods
"In many countries specially prepared unsweetened and low Calorie
foods are freely available, and some of these can be tentatively
used... the total daily intake must not exceed 500 Calories if
the best possible results are to be obtained, that the daily
ration should contain 200 grams of fat-free protein and a very
small amount of starch." From Dr Simeon's "Pounds and Inches."
The manuscript can be found
here.
Important Highlights:
The 500 calorie limit must always be maintained.
2 small apples are not an acceptable exchange for “1 apple.”
Very occasionally we allow egg - boiled, poached or raw - to
patients who develop an aversion to meat, but in this case they
must add the white of three eggs to the one they eat whole.
Cottage cheese made from skimmed milk is available 100 grams may
occasionally be used instead of the meat
Personal
Care and Beauty Products on the hCG Diet:
We do permit the use of
lipstick, powder and such lotions as are entirely free of fatty
substances. We also allow brilliantine to be used on the hair
but it must not be rubbed into the scalp. Obviously sun-tan oil
is prohibited.
Aspirin and birth control are allowed on the Simeons hCG
Diet.
No massage of any kind.
