  24. Should I Use Kevin Trudeau's or Dr. Simeons HCG Diet Protocol? - It is up to you, but I would suggest using the original HCG Protocol by Dr. Simeons for your very first round. (Pounds And Inches) However, it doesn't hurt to read Kevin Trudeau's book "The Weight Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You To Know About". It has a lot of useful information in it.
