Biography of Sonia E. Russell, LPN
In 2007, my medical team and I began our internal patient testing and food trial studies on the 800 calorie plan with our patients in the clinical setting. It was in 2010 that a 6 week successful clinical study was performed by the American Society of Bariatric Physicians ASBP on the modified 800 plan.

In May 2011, I published our findings in my book developed specifically for the HCG dieter utilizing HhCG drops or Rx hCG entitled, HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol https://www.ebookit.com/books/0000000680/HCG-Diet-800-Calorie-Protocol.html
The 800 calorie plan has been proven safer, more tolerated and in most cases yields higher losses when compared to the original 500 VLCD.
I am also a co-author of the book entitled The Best Diet You Have Never Heard Of - Physician Updated hCG Diet Removes Health Concerns with two physicians, one of whom is a member of the ASBP. This book was written by medical professionals for the prescribing practitioner to utilize as a higher standard for Rx hCG weight loss therapy.

After lots of friends, family and clients started asking me about the HCG diet, I decided to research it and try it while writing about my experience on my website: www.bodybycandice.com. I lost 45lbs with HCG, 65lbs overall, and have kept it all off. In February 2011, the Rachael Ray Show found my website and invited me to appear on the show (March 10, 2011) to share my experience.
After the show aired, I had the privilege of working with hundreds of dieters. While the diet works, I still had my concerns. It was in June 2011 that I met Sonia E. Russell, LPN and learned about her HCG Diet 800 Calorie Protocol. This protocol has answered all of my concerns and has produced wonderful results. Since meeting Sonia, we have co-coached over a thousand dieters. With my concerns of the hcg + diet protocol being answered by Sonia’s protocol, my personal emphasis has turned to helping dieters progress through phase 3 and 4. Beyond HCG: Phase 3 Support http://www.facebook.com/groups/263487743703169/
is where Sonia and I co-coach dieters how to stabilize properly. Beyond HCG P4: The Final Phase http://www.facebook.com/groups/128830277216523/ is where we coach people on how to start incorporating healthy starches and carbs back into their daily lives.
Stabilization is the most important phase of this diet, hence why Sonia and I have created this plan. We want to eliminate the plague of chronic correction days and help teach dieters to keep the weight off for good. Not only am I bringing you this plan, I am currently co-authoring a book with St. Louis News Personality and Fitness Trainer, Monica Adams. Our book will focus on teaching people how to incorporate lifestyle changes that will help not only to keep the weight off for good, but to find the balance between mind, body and soul, for overall health and wellness. As a personal trainer, no matter what protocol you use, it is important to change your lifestyle to incorporate a healthy diet and physical activity for optimal results.
I also have my website www.diefatgirl.com where I talk about the mental and emotional aspects of dieting. I, myself, am a recovering emotional/binge eater and hope to share more of this journey in my up and coming book.

Stabilization is the most critical phase of the entire protocol that determines long lasting weight loss results. The purpose of Phase 3 stabilization is to reset your metabolic rate and stabilize within 2 pounds of your ending phase 2 weight. Once you begin eating normal foods, many dieters tend to throw everything out the window by over indulging and eating whatever is available. DON'T DO THIS! You will throw everything away that you have worked so hard for in phase 2! You have been eating 500-800 calories for the last 23 - 40 days and must use caution. Most dieters will stabilize within the first 10 days but some may take longer. Even if you do stabilize in the first 10 days, it is important to follow this plan for the full 21 days. Our P3 plan will reduce stress to the hypothalamus (a gland in the brain that regulates metabolism) by prohibiting the dieter to over-indulge on sugars, starches, grain breads, nuts, beans and limiting dairy. For the next 3 weeks you will need to focus on what you can and cannot eat.
Dr. Simeons’s stabilization information, written over 50 years ago, is vague and
