Kevin Trudeau The Weight Loss Cure: HCG Diet Protocol

/

Kevin Trudeau is widely known as a controversial author, and strong advocate of homeopathic and natural cures. His most famous book, “The Weight Loss Cure They Don’t Want You to Know About,” was based on the research and practice of Hcg hormone used for weight loss by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons.  

The book sold millions of copies, and was celebrated across the country.  On the other hand, critics (including the FTC) were not as accepting of the claims made in his book, and Trudeau was stopped from marketing the practice further.

As a result of Trudeau’s book, the Hcg weight loss program has been adopted and adapted by countless physicians across the world.  There are now thousands of protocol variations, with doctors, clinics, and weight loss coaches all designing their own version of the protocol with different purposes in mind.

There are also millions of success stories, with the diet becoming more mainstream in popularity each year.  

The diet has been featured on Dr. Oz multiple times, as well as on the Rachel Ray Show, and countless news and morning shows.  In Hollywood, the use of Hcg hormone has become a popular choice for celebrities wanting to lose weight before premieres and has been widely promoted by celebrity doctors.

Kevin Trudeau’s HCG Diet Plan

This version of the Hcg Diet varies considerably from the original protocol by Dr. Simeons.

Trudeau included “phases” in his version of the diet, and added supplements to the strict regimen. This is the first distinction between his version of the diet and Dr. Simeons, who didn’t actually include phases or supplements in his protocol.

According to Trudeau, the first month, or “round” of the HCG Diet is designed to detoxify your body and prepare you for lifelong weight management.  This is yet another difference between the Simeons Protocol and Trudeau’s Protocol.

Overall, the Weight Loss Cure includes 3 phases, a large number of supplements, organic foods, and significant amounts of exercise throughout the weight loss phase.  These are outlined below.
