The typical HCG diet was outlined in 1954 in the book "Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity," by A.T.W. Simeons, who created the diet. Many dietitians promote the importance of eating a healthy breakfast, but under the regimen Simeons developed, there's no solid food before lunch.
If a dieter has breakfast, it typically consists of a cup of black coffee or tea of any size, with no sugar, though calorie-free sweeteners are allowed. If you drink milk, you can have one tablespoon every 24 hours.
In conjunction with the paltry food regimen, the HCG diet
calls for daily injections of the hormone; typically, a dieter would inject
himself or herself, usually in the thigh. Or, a person on the HCG diet could
ingest the hormone by swallowing drops or pills, or take it in spray form.
