HCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily hCG injection (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) results in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per day, and often more, when accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet of apprx 500 calories).
Dr. Simeons book, "Pounds and Inches" is the very detailed, original explanation of the HCG Diet. It includes everything from body chemistry, the effects of beauty products used during the diet, and of course, the very specific 500 calorie diet (also known as VLCD or Very Low Calorie Diet.) Even if you are following a different HCG Diet protocol, it is a good idea to read the original protocol to understand how the diet works and important aspects of the protocol that will ensure your success.
Ease of use is the true benefit when it comes to oral HCG drops. Injections can be time consuming, awkward, and sometimes painful. Oral HCG drops allow you to avoid these issues and instead concentrate on the diet. The HCG diet is the key to the HCG program. It's designed for a specific purpose – initiate the powers of the HCG hormone in the dieter's body and achieve rapid weight loss

The goal of hCG is to eat at least 5 times a day
The hCG diet consist of 20 days of injections while following the 500 calorie diet
On day 1 and 2 of your diet you must eat an abundance of calories, eat anything you want and as much as you want.
On day 3 begin the 500 calorie per day diet as outlined above
At completion of the 20 injections you must stay on the 500 calorie per day diet for 3 days after the last injection. This is EXTREMELY important.
The hCG must be cleared from your system before adding different food groups back into your diet, to prevent weight gain
For 3 weeks after the completion of the strict 500 calorie per day diet, you can increase your caloric intake to 1000-1200 calories per day as long as you avoid sugars and complex carbohydrates
After the 3 weeks you can begin another cycle of hCG
Easing the Discomfort of Injections
If your physician has sent you home with pre-mixed injections of hCG for your weight loss protocol, these tips may help with self administration of your hCG shots.
Pinching the skin and pulling it out gently, can provide distraction to your nerves so you do not feel the needle. Some people prefer the quick motion shot, while others prefer resting the needle on the pinched skin and pushing it through in a smooth motion.
Relax the muscles prior to injection.
Apply ice to numb the location prior to injection.
Rotate injection sites.
Allow medications that have been refrigerated to warm to room temperature before injection.
Allow the alcohol on your skin to air dry prior to injection.
