The Super Simple HCG Diet by Barnes, Kathleen (2011) Paperback

The simplest and most successful way to shed excess weight -- 3 to 5 pounds a week -- without the restrictions of the Simeons Pounds and Inches HCG diet. The author debunks the myths of the 500-calorie Simeons Diet and the outdated protocols that are difficult to understand and practically impossible to follow. This book eases the calorie restriction to 700 calories a day, which is healthier in the long run and allows far easier compliance without sacrificing the psychologically satisfying reward of rapid weight reduction. It also eliminates the complex phase system and, for those who need to stay on the program for several months, allows small breaks without abandoning the diet and weight shedding altogether. It also encourages the use of supplements (including fish oil) and skin care creams without compromising the effectiveness of the diet. Based on her personal experience and with a unique sense of humor and compassion, Barnes helps you navigate the pitfalls and stay the course for major and permanent weight control.
