The Basic hCG Terminology

As a new member of the hCG club we come onto the scene and wonder where we fit in?  I will have to say that the hCG party train is the most welcoming group I have ever been involved with.  There is a complete support system for you on Facebook and You Tube to help you on your weight loss journey.  The hCG Party Train support group is like a family.  When no one else understands what you are going through they will always come in with advice, a cheer when you reach a success and a shoulder when you have a bad day.  We do however speak in code, and it may take a bit to completely understand what in the world we are talking about.  I decided to make a list of terms used in conversation for the seasoned hCG user.

VLCD- Very low calorie diet.  This is used to say you are on the 500 cal. part of the diet and most say what day VLCD12 for example.

Phases- There are four phases in the hCG Protocol and they can be a bit confusing.  Phase 1 is prior to taking the hCG and is considered a prep and cleansing time.   Phase 2 begins the 500 calorie diet along with taking the hCG.  Phase 3 is the maintenance phase which you continue a diet plan of 60% protein, no carbs, 1500 calories and eat very healthy for 3 weeks following phase 2 to help you stabilize your new weight.  You may be in Phase 2 many times if you are doing more than one round on the protocol.  For example if you do Round 1, Phase 2 then do the stabilization period of Phase 3.  I would then return to Phase 2 and not continue on into Phase 4.   Phase 4 is the lifetime maintenance of this diet.  You will continue to eat healthy, reintroduce carbs, and watch your inches and the scale, but you have achieved your goal weight and you will not be returning to Phase 2 taking the hCG.  The phases are abbreviated as P1, P2, P3, P4.  Rounds are very similar if you are on Round 1, Phase 2 it would look like this VLCD1 R1P2.   I will blog about the break down of each Phase and whats expected in each separately.

TOM- While being a common male name for most on hCG, TOM is not our friend.  He stalls our weight loss and interrupts the loses. TOM is Time of the Month for  your period.

Chocolate Delight- This can be abbreviated as Bark or CD, but it is talked about frequently enough to mention it.  CD helps increase your ketones and have better releases.

Releases- This confuses many new people.  hCG dieters have releases not losses.  When someone says I have released -.8 it means they lost that much that particular morning.

ACV=Apple Cider Vinegar

C Oil- Coconut Oil

COV- Coconut Oil Vinegar

Mac Nuts- Macadamia Nuts

Cali Kicker- Cayenne powder mixed in warm lemon water, or cayenne capsules taken with warm lemon water.
