Foods do NOT follow Dr Simeons list. No Calorie counts on receipes. Recipes not by group.
But the book needs more information about the diet, background, mention of Pounds and Inches, stress of the no substitution rule, and a lot more about the diet itself. Esp. since this is labeled for a beginner. I would suggest a beginner read the original book Pounds and Inches by Dr. Simeon so that they are familiar with the diet, what it is, and how it works. There are numerous typos in the book and words missing as well as other writing errors that need to be fixed. Hire a proofreader. There are no page numbers, which would be helpful to tell you which pages have errors. Week 1 Table is too small to even read without a magnifying glass. Have you actually used the diet? You have foods listed in here (a lot of them) that ARE NOT ALLOWED on the HCG diet. Needs a lot more content and explanation about the diet, why the foods are specific, since you call this FOR BEGINNERS. You do mention some important things which are good, supplements. I would warn people about the headaches and cramps that usually come within the first week or so on the diet. Also, the recipes are all over the place, you don't have them grouped by Appetizers, Breakfast, Meats, Fishes or even whether they are Phase II or Phase III allowed. I would not recommend this book as it is for a beginner. Use something that is more specific and true to the Dr Simeon diet and which clearly spells out what is allowed in Phase II and III and easier to reference for condiments, dressings, sauces, meat, fish, chicken, vegan, deserts, drinks, etc. Some of the recipes are good, but without being able to tell if they are Phase II or Phase III one would need to be an HCG diet "old hat" to be able to tell.

Not a hardback book
FYI, it's a paperback book the pic appeared to be a hardbound book which is what I expected therefore, I was disappointed. Also, the cover appeared to be very colorful and exciting however, that is the only thing in the entire book that is colorful and exciting. The entire contents of the book other than the cover is in plain black/white and the diet plan included is so tiny you can hardly read what it says therefore, difficult to read and very bland/dull/boring. Wouldn't recommend ordering this particular book to anyone, there must be something else out there more colorful and fun to read.

Guidance for diet and for a better life
This book was wonderful for my soul, and I do not exaggerate if I say – to any soul.I found it as a great guidance and an answer to what I've looked for several time. It is not only for diet - but it gave me some answers for better life.The information of WHAT and WHY to prepare or eat was clear to me, convincing and therefore was easy to follow it.I have to mention the food pictures that were also part of the persuasion and Stimulation for me.It is a wonderful guide for anyone who wants a better and healthy life.

There are recipes in the book which actually look good, but they don't note which phase they are ...
I thought this book would give me sample menu's for the HCG diet. It gives two "3 week plans" for phase 2. I believe it is a typo and one should be week 3. But it took some research to figure that out. There are recipes in the book which actually look good, but they don't note which phase they are for. From reading other reviews I thought it would be helpful, but I found it more frustrating than it was worth.

No Sweat
It had been so difficult to lose stubborn weight. Since using Pounds and Inches, even with some cheating, I have easily lost 11 pounds. I am not hungry and have a lot of energy. My weight was 126 lbs. and I am 5' 1 "...not tall! I now weigh 114.5 #'s. This means so much to me and I can't thank you enough. I feel 110 #'s is good for my height and will easily reach my goal.

Not worth the money
Full of mistakes and the same recipe is repeated, only half a book and not very professionally put together.

understanding HCG diet and recipes to start with
I honestly have doubts with HCG diet plan, until I got this book. This is a nice book in describing HCG diet, plus that fact that it has great recipes to complete my diet plan. I am glad there was a calorie count for common food used in HCG diet in this book, at least it gives me idea on the calories i am taking in my body.

dont waste your money...
This book doesn't follow the strict HCG guidelines. Oatmeal is not something that you can eat in Phase 2, yet it is in the recipe for phase 2. Since this book is aimed at beginners, the author shouldn't have gave contradictory info to what is typically allowed on HCG diet. Also this book looks homemade and could use a good proofreading.

Helpful tips with easy to follow recipes!
HCG (Human Chronic Gonadotropin) diet makes you starve and limits you to 500 claories a day for 8 weeks while taking hCG through shots or some homeopathic drops. Some studies have reported people losing upto 2 pounds a day on hCG diet. Men and women are equally prone to losing weight. The most important aspect of those 8 weeks is your diet. This book helps you with that and give you 50+ recipes to choose from.
