I purchased this book after starting the HCG diet with the drops. My sister had been doing the HCG injections under the supervision of a doctor and had lost over fifty pounds. After hearing about others who were doing the HCG drops, and also losing weight I decided to try it myself. I researched as much information as I could online about the diet and was getting a lot of information from my sister as to what her doctor was telling her. Even with everything that I found I still felt like I didn't have enough information so I bought this book to help me. It is full of information about this diet and has answers to most of your questions regarding the HCG diet. So far I have lost 22 pounds in 40 days. I'm now on phase 3 and I feel great. This book has been great for letting me know what I can eat and what to stay away from. I felt that the price of this book was a little much and almost didn't buy it for that reason. However it has been worth it just for all the research information and the guidance that has been put into it.

This is my third book on Hcg...and hopefully my last. This newest addition to the Hcg Diet Protocol has quite a few pointers on the diet itself. Making it easier for anyone to do it on their own...which I did...and was successful in losing 30 lbs. This "diet" needs to be researched first. Its not a "diet" that you can just start on Monday. The author takes you through the Hcg Protocol...step by step. Read it first before beginning the diet! Very important! If one "sticks" with it, the results are tremendous...and fast!! I have tried all diets..this one spoke to me. I "finally got it". This book also contains some recipes...which was a plus for me! If you are wondering if this is for you...do your research. During the "very low calorie diet" aka: "VLCD" days I found myself with boundless energy and no hunger pains...I am not kidding. If you do this right..you will have the same experience.

I absolutely love this book! I literally read it in one weekend and then I constantly pick it back up when I feel lost. It has helped me so much during my journey. I found Harmony on my HCG DIET group and she is sooo knowledgeable and researches everything to back up her information. It is all in her book. She has also included P3 & P4 information. There is so much confusion out there as to what to eat how to go about P3 & P4 transition she makes it easy and includes recipes to help you out along the way. Harmony is always there for you when you have any questions. I did my first two rounds with injections but thanks to Harmony's book I will being doing hopefully my final round Sublingual (under tongue) because her book has provided me with all the info I need to do so. It makes me feel confident the knowledge she is sharing. I have lost about 55lbs total in 2 Rounds and so far so good maintaining.

Thanks Harmony and to everyone else you need to get a copy of this book it will help you on your journey. I have my life back!

I wish I had read this before I did my first session of HCG. I got it as I was starting Phase 3 and wish I had known all the tricks and resources before I started. I can't wait to do my 2nd session and do it 100% right for a bigger weight loss. The lists of fruits, veggies, sugars, resources, etc. was incredible. I really appreciated a modern guide to help me after I had read Kevin Trudeau's book. Thank you Heather for your work. I didn't have any receipes but have ordered 101 receipes after trying the ones in this book. I am confident that I will lose more weight my 2nd time. I lost 28 lbs. not knowing what was right.

This book is an excellent source of information to accompany Dr Simeon's HCG protocol. The only comment (pg 34) that I don't agree with is "My observation about many clinics is that few follow a strict Simeons hcg diet protocol. "Many recommend ways of doing the diet that prolong the treatment period by reducing the rapidity of weight release, perhaps for obvious reasons that they will make more money the longer that it takes you". Later on pg 86, the author says "Please don't ask questions such as can I use this medication or that, I am a dieter, not a doctor".
All clinics in the US are run by doctors since hcg is a prescription drug. Yet, the author has already given the impression that most clinics are only out for the money. I think doctors value their licence and reputation more than trying to make a few extra bucks from a little known diet product. For my first round I went to a very reputable doctor run clinic. For subsequent rounds I ordered syringes and needles for over the internet. I HCG I used to inject myself I ordered over the internet from India and China. (Fortunately all went well. Mine was not seized at the border as some bloggers reported). Finally, I obtained additional information for my "do it yourself round" via an internet group who gives advice and shares their successes and failures. I would not have chosen this "do it yourself" internet route if I had not already recieved first hand knowledge of the protocol from a reputable doctor run clinic. In conclusion, excellent book except for dissing the docs.

This book, "HCG Diet Made Simple" is simply the best HCG diet guidebook available and a "must read" for HCG dieters. Harmony basically gives you the goods with unbiased, straight up, hard core but easy to understand HCG DIET INFORMATION. This is the most comprehensive and incredibly researched book on the HCG diet I've ever seen, full of all the secrets, tips and tricks on how to do the diet safely, effectively and economically for ALL phases of the diet. Harmony makes the HCG diet simple and easy (just like the title) and gives you all the information you will ever need to do the diet right and keep the weight off for good.

I'm a huge fan of this book and the HCG diet. The HCG diet absolutely and completely works. I have struggled with my weight all of my life and tried every diet you can imagine. I was starting to develop all manner of health challenges and was frankly getting scared to death about what the future would hold with regards to my weight. When I found the HCG diet I knew I'd found a miracle. Today, I've lost 60 pounds and have kept it off for 2 years now. This diet has changed my life forever. There is just so much misinformation out there and I am just so grateful to Harmony and the wealth of information, resources, and references offered to dieters in her book. I know that it will help so many people stay on track and do this diet right. I highly recommend this book to anyone doing the HCG diet.

This is a great book, especially if your just starting or wanting to know in details what HCG is all about. I wished this book would have came out over the summer when I did my first round of HCG. I just finished my second round and this book answered a lot of my questions that I had the first time around. The author goes into great details about everything you need to know before you get started on the HCG protocol. It was worth the money. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose weight!!!

I have read many, many books and articles on doing the hCG protocol. I highly recommend this one to people just learning about Dr. Simeons' protocol and people who have been doing it a while like me. Everything is laid out for you in easy, simple steps. It's all there....everything you need to know including studies on hCG, where to order, details about how it works, etc.
It is so well thought out and put together.
Buy it...it is WELL worth the money.

Although I have ordered many books through Amazon - this is the very first one I have cared enough about to try to figure out how to review.

I have just finished reading it from cover to cover. When reading the "reviews" for this book on the Amazon page, the only criticism seemed to be that this book was "disorganized" and because of this, the reviewer rated it low. After reading this book from cover to cover . . . it is anything BUT disorganized. The author tells us right up front how to read this book (from cover to cover first) and then - the author gives us a detailed index to help us find the individual things we want to find and read over again. It is a wonderful book, thoughtfully written to help each of us who read it with a humble heart, asking for help, recognizing that leaning to our own understanding has failed us time and time again.

If you are looking for a book where you can go to a single page and get a formula - has this worked for you before? Change your attitude, get this book, start at the beginning of the book and read it through. What have you got to lose . . . .weight?

This book has lots of good information in it about the HCG diet, but I found it a bit discouraging as I was doing the homeopathic delivery, and the book is definitely oriented towards injections and sublingual. I found the information about homeopathic drops minimal, negative, and not entirely in line with what I read in other books. Overall, it got me worried and I had to read other books to rebuild my confidence in what I was doing.

If you can take what works for you and throw out the rest, you'll find much to like here with ordering information, legal information, lots of recipes, lots of technical information about HCG injections, dosing, etc. Again, this is all for the injections and the sublingual delivery.

I kept this book as a reference but am careful not to rely on it primarily.

Recommended only if you are doing something other than homeopathic HGG.
