CURA ROMANA PROTOCOL
PART ONE:
HCG+FOOD PLAN
This is the food plan that is absolutely necessary for homeopathic HCG to work its wonders. It must never be used on its own. Homeopathic HCG+FOOD PLAN - followed to the letter - enables the body to turn its inessential fat stores into usable energy at a rate of between 1500 and 4000 calories a day while never touching your important essential fat deposits.
SIMEONS’ FOOD PLAN
The exact nature of the 500 calorie food plan is explained during the feasting days so that you, or whoever is preparing your food, understands how to carry out its preparation with exactitude. In Italy, where Simeons carried out most of his work on obesity, his patients were given the following diet sheet.
Breakfast:
-
Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar.
-
Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours.
-
Stevia can be used for sweetening if desired.
Lunch:
-
100 grams of veal, beef, chicken breast (skin removed), buffalo, veal, fresh, wild, white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. Salmon, eel, herring, dried or pickled fish are n
ot allowed. The chicken breast must have been removed from the bird before cooking.
-
One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory greens, beet-greens or Swiss chard, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage.
-
One Italian breadstick - grissino - or one Melba toast.
-
A medium-sized apple or an orange or a handful of organic strawberries or one-half grapefruit.
Dinner :
-
The same four choices as lunch.
-
The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, marjoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing.
-
Tea, coffee, plain water, and mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. You must drink between two and three liters of water a day. Many are afraid to drink so much because they think this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when your intake falls below its normal requirements.
-
The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.
-
No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may be used during HCG+FOOD PLAN.
18 pounds (8.2 kilos) lost in 36 days:
“There’s nothing like it… have tried them all... lost not only pounds but inches in all the right places... they’ve never returned in over a year.”
Every item in the list is gone over carefully, continually stressing the point that no variations other than those listed may be introduced. All things not listed are forbidden. Nothing is permissible that has been left out. The 100 grams of meat must be scrupulously weighed raw after all visible fat has been removed. To do this accurately you must have a digital kitchen scale as other kinds are not sufficiently accurate. Those, not uncommon, people who feel that even so little food is too much for them can omit anything they wish.
There is no objection to breaking up the two meals. For instance, you can have a breadstick and an apple for breakfast or an orange before going to bed, provided they are deducted from your regular meals. The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any item saved from the previous day be added on the following day. In the beginning people are advised to check every meal against their diet sheet before starting to eat and not to rely on their memory. It is also worth pointing out that any attempt to observe this diet without HCG will lead to trouble in two to three days.
Simeons says:
“We have had cases in which patients have proudly flaunted their dieting powers in front of their friends without mentioning the fact that they are also receiving treatment with HCG. They let their friends try the same diet, and when this proves to be a failure - as it necessarily must - the patient starts raking in unmerited kudos for superhuman willpower.
It should also be mentioned that two small apples weighing as much as one large one nevertheless have a higher caloric value and are therefore not allowed - though there is no restriction on the size of one apple. Some people do not realize that a tangerine is not an orange and that chicken breast does not mean the breast of any other fowl, nor does it mean a wing or drumstick.
The most tiresome patients are those who start counting calories and then come up with all manner of ingenious variations which they compile from their little books. When one has spent years of weary research trying to make a diet as attractive as possible without jeopardizing the loss of weight, culinary geniuses who are out to improve their unhappy lot are hard to take.”
MAKING UP THE CALORIES
Simeons continues:
“The diet used in conjunction with HCG must not exceed 500 calories per day, and the way these calories are made up is of utmost importance. For instance, if a person drops the apple and eats an extra breadstick instead, he will not be getting more calories but he will not lose weight. There are a number of foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, which have the same or even lower caloric values than those listed as permissible, and yet we find that they interfere with the regular loss of weight under HCG, presumably owing to the nature of their composition. Pimiento peppers, okra, artichokes and pears are examples of this.
While this diet works satisfactorily in Italy, certain modifications have to be made in other countries. For instance, American beef has almost double the caloric value of South Italian 
beef, which is not marbled with fat. This marbling is impossible to remove. In America, therefore, low-grade veal should be used for one meal and fish (excluding all those species such as herring, mackerel, tuna, salmon, eel, etc., which have a high fat content, and all dried, smoked or pickled fish), chicken breast, lobster, crawfish, prawns, shrimps, crabmeat or kidneys for the other meal. Where the Italian breadsticks, the so-called grissini, are not available, one Melba toast may be used instead, though it is psychologically less satisfying. A Melba toast has about the same weight as the very porous grissino which offers much more to look at and to chew.”
