Dr. Maria has created a Weight Loss Program with several goals in mind. They include:

Healing the gut

Healing the brain

Reducing inflammation

Balance Hormones

And of coarse, weight loss

The program was designed with combined information from the hCG diet, the GAPS diet and effective Detoxification Programs. You begin the program with one week of homeopathic detox, followed by 3-12 weeks of low calorie, very restricted diet. You are allowed 1000 calories per day from the food choices below. After the period of low calorie diet, you continue on a maintenance phase for 3 weeks, still avoiding all starch and sugar.

Homemade meat, chicken or fish stock. – Consume as much as desired, especially in the first 3 days of phase 3.

Protein – Eat 14 oz of lean protein per day. Proteins should be lean meats, white meat chicken with no skin, white fish. You must weigh your proteins. You may substitute 1 egg with 3 egg whites for one protein serving. Dairy is not recommended.

o 4oz for breakfast

o 5oz for lunch

o 5oz for dinner

Vegetables – eat all the low carb vegetables you like

o Spinach, cabbage, kale, zuchinni, broccoli, cucumber, onion, lettuce, leeks, celery, cauliflower, chard, beet greens, carrots only in small amounts

Fruit – eat 2-3 servings of low sugar fruit for a snack between meals

o Apple, berries, peach, orange, grapefruit – fresh or frozen with no sugar added

Beverages

o Drink at least ½ gallon of water per day

o Drink all the tea or coffee you like

o Make warm lemonade with lemon juice and stevia

o No diet drinks or fruit juice

Absolutely no grains, fats, sugars or starches allowed! No crackers.

The difference between our traditional hCG diet and Dr. Maria’s Weight Loss diet is you are allowed more servings, a little more variation in fruit and vegetables; and you will be having stock/soup. You may also mix your vegetables. Exercise is allowed, but only at 50% - 70% of a normal workout routine for you. If you get dizzy or feel weak during exercise or after, stop exercising. Let our office know about these occurrences so we can modify your program if necessary.
