Advances
Over the years since Dr. simeons established his 'Weight Loss Cure Protocol' in the 50's, there have been huge advances in medical diagnostic, testing and monitoring equipment. Nutritional science has also provided additional support items that are making the diet protocol easier and even more effective...
In the early days, patients would enroll in Dr. simeons program and travel to his spa in Switzerland where they would be isolated from outside influences and temptations. Today, patients are left on their honor to apply the techniques of the 'Protocol' themselves. With even more unhealthy food and personal care choices than ever before, patients today must be properly informed with relation to food, suppliments, personal care products, cosmetics, etc.
The following information will be valuable to the patient who wants to make the most effective application of Dr. simeons protocol in his life.
Body Composition
In order to get a starting 'base line', the patient is invited to receive a body composition analysis if it is possible for them to come in to our clinic in the Tri-Cities, in Washington. Periodically, while participating in the protocol, the patient should have a follow-up body composition done to better track their results and possibly make modifications to the diet. Our body composition testing uses top of the line equipment to check for more than just weight distribution, as it will also determine hydration, cellular health, and much more.
Ketone Test Strips
Ketone test strips measure the amount of urinary ketones. Urinary ketones are a marker of fat loss, and by simply urinating on a ketone strip, a patient will be able to verify that fat is being burned. Ketone test strips are available for purchase for this purpose.
HCG LifeStyle Shake
Our LifeStyle support Shake is also available for our patients. This shake is formulated to work with the diet protocol with little or no impact on results while providing a healthy suppliment while on the VLCD. It is provided for those who experience some hunger pangs while participating in the protocol. It is also a luxurious break from the 'blandness' of the authorized food list in the diet.

MCT Oil
This amazing oil is the only one known that can actually promote ketosis (fat burning) in the body. It can be used for cooking, in salads and vegetables, and anywhere you would normally use butter or cooking oil. If it is to be used for cooking, it is suggested to keep the heat as low as possible. MCT oil is available in 8 oz. and 16 oz. bottles.

Supplements
Supplimenting the diet with a multi-vitamin can help insure a healthy balance of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients during the VLCD when the patient is taking in a minimum of food. Since the volume of food is quite low during the protocol, it may also be a good idea to use cilliam powder to aid with elimination, because one common side effect of the diet is the feeling of constipation. Our nutritionist can help you with your supplimentation questions.
Water & Carbonation
Water is extremely important in the diet, and there are a number of reasons carbonated drinks are not good for this diet protocol. Carbonated water is acidic and at a molecular level does not effectively irrigate the fat from cells during the diet. Also, most carbonated beverages contain a high level of carbs, or they contain artificial sweeteners that are not good for the body. We ask that the patient NOT drink any carbonated beverages during the diet.
