Vitality Diet Phases

The HCG Vitality Weight Loss Program

The Vitality weight loss program combines the use of hormone-balancing, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), and a short-term, low-calorie diet. This 6-week process encourages quick weight loss. The Vitality Diet is one of the most comprehensive and effective diets on the market.  This program lasts for 45 days. 

Phases of the Vitality Diet

Pre-Diet Treatment: Cranberry Flush and Liver Cleanse.

This first of the Vitality Diet Phases is recommended but optional. 

Dr. Spurlock’s cranberry flush protocol helps to detox the lymphatic system.  A proprietary, high protein shake taken twice daily aids in detoxifying the liver.  These two body cleansing techniques work synergistically together to enable the body to break down fat more efficiently over the course of the diet.

The liver cleanse includes taking a pharmaceutical-grade liver detoxifying powder mixed in water, juice, or a smoothie for 10 days. 

The cranberry flush involves drinking water and cranberry juice mixture daily for two weeks. These two can be taken together or individually. During this period, normal eating habits are practiced.

Phase One: The Gorging or Binging Phase

This phase is typically simple and easy to follow. During the first three days of HCG use, patients are to eat as many high-fat foods as they can. This prepares the body for a low-caloric diet in the following phases. Some healthy and recommended fats include avocados, cheeses, and nuts. Make sure to include plenty of fiber during this phase to steer clear of digestive problems.

Phase Two: The Low-Calorie Diet

On the fourth day of HCG use, patients begin a low-caloric diet. The allowed foods list is rather strict. Included are a few particular vegetables, certain fruits that are low in sugar, and lean meats. Dieters may consume only one type of fruit and one type of vegetable per meal. The same type of meat may never be eaten for two meals in a row. Tea and coffee are permitted but can only be consumed with sweeteners from the approved list and may not contain more than 1 tablespoon of milk. Don’t panic! Vitality Cooking Classes and the Vitality Cookbook include creative ways to prepare food and make the diet easy and simple.

Phase Three: The Wind Down

During the last three days of the low-caloric diet, the use of HCG is discontinued. The HCG hormone must be completely out of the patient’s system when normal amounts of calories are reintroduced into the body. If the HCG is not cleared, the body will store the calories and the weight gain will start again.

Phase Four: The Maintenance Stage

This phase includes three weeks of eating all foods except for any form of sugar or starch. Patients can eat proteins, vegetables, healthy oils, and fats, but abstain from eating any sugar or simple carbs including very sweet fruit during this phase.

Phase Five: Back to a Normal, Healthy Diet

Small amounts of carbs are slowly added back into the patient’s diet.

The various Vitality Diet phases make it easier to follow the entire diet. Several days of gorging in the beginning (phase one) make it much easier to start the low-calorie diet (phase two).  The maintenance stage allows you to eat a normal calorie intake, but it sets you up to be able to maintain your new lower weight levels.

Testimonials 

In December 2017 my employer changed healthcare plans which meant finding several new “in-network” specialists: a gynecologist to prescribe bio-identical hormone therapy, an endocrinologist to balance and monitor my thyroid, and a gastroenterologist to treat ongoing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). I was 50 pounds heavier now and living with continuous bloating and constipation. I was determined to find only one doctor to restore my health because I knew three specialists couldn’t possibly “connect the dots”. I simply refused to remain as one of those sad, post-menopausal women in her late 50’s: overweight, not exercising, and suffering with low self-esteem. What had happened to me? Then I found Renewed Vitality. I first hesitated when hearing the phrase “out-of-network”. Yet I was determined to be healthy again, so I scheduled my appointments. I’m so glad I did. I started the Renewed Vitality Diet immediately and I never cheated (not at all). May 2018: My hormones and thyroid are balanced, chronic gut issues are no more, and I lost all my weight gain (50 pounds). Amazing! It took only 120 days to look and feel 10 years younger! It was worth every penny investing in myself to return to myself! GS

“I started going to Renewed Vitality a year ago. I had struggled with losing weight for all my life. The Nurse Practitioner ran all the tests and explained the adrenal system and how it work. My numbers were really bad. She started me on the hormone replacement therapy and I also did the Renewed Vitality diet. Within 3 months 50lbs fell off of me! I had so much energy and felt young again! I have referred so many friends that are experiencing the same thing! It has been a year and the weight has stayed off! Renewed Vitality is awesome and was a life saver for me!”-Gina N *

“My wife went to a seminar with a friend and that’s how we decided to do it. I lost about 26 pounds and my wife lost about 20. I think overall it’s great plan, but not only just the diet plan, but it’s being able to meet with the nurse practitioner. And getting your hormone levels corrected and stuff like that. Overall, it’s awesome.” -Jason A *

“I had a very positive experience with the diet program with Renewed Vitality in March 2015, which resulted in me losing 29 pounds!  The employees were awesome! I felt like they really cared about me. The nurse practitioner was very thorough and explained everything. The nurses were awesome. Never had any complaints about any of my visits. I live 3 hrs away from the clinic but it was well worth the drive.” -Ann M *

“I had a great experience with the weight loss program at Renewed Vitality! Throughout the experience I lost about 29 pounds. I met with the nurse practitioner and she was AMAZING! I referred her to three people who said the same exact thing. She does not rush you into anything and explains things in great detail. It was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. I felt like they were very professional and thorough. If I could afford to see Susan every month, I would!” -Annette C *
