Maximizing weight loss while on the hcg diet

By Jon S Green


The safest and most successful diet over the past fifty years is easily the hCG injection diet. It is based on the combination of prescribed injections and low caloric intake, causing the body to undergo changes necessary for rapid weight loss. Many of the side effects of low calorie dieting are alleviated. The diet requires some adherence to strict guidelines. The following are some hints and tips to help ease your way.

See- your physician regularly and seek counseling - First, you cannot obtain hCG injections without a prescription from a physician. Do not neglect the weekly or periodical monitoring sessions he or she determines. This is an important component to your diet being safe and successful. Just as importantly, seek professional counseling in an effort to determine if you have any emotional issues concerning food and eating. Find support with your peers if possible, diet with a friend, or find a supportive friend or family as your confidante. Join a support group or an online forum.

Do not skip the loading days - The protocol calls for patients to start their morning injections, and then eat many foods that are high in fat the first two days. This is an important part of the process. Do not start on low calories during these loading days. This will help your body to prepare for the initial days of the diet. It will take the hCG about 3 days to start to become effective in helping you alleviate the symptom associated with the low calorie diet. Some people think they can get a quick start by dieting from the first day, which is a falsehood. Trust the process, and do not skip the loading days.

Write down your goal weight and keep a daily diary - Your diet is a very specific goal. Being specific will help to keep you focused, and will encourage you as you see the pounds drop off. In a way, a diary also helps you keep yourself accountable for your actions

Keep things routine. Unbelievably, the reason you became so good at being obese is because you had routine behaviors that you never deviated from; for example, midnight snacking. So now you are encouraged to eat at the same times, take your injection at the same time daily, and weigh yourself during the same time of day. The object is to develop habits that will start you on your way to a healthy lifestyle after you have lost all that weight.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. Water is what your body needs most to help you lose weight. You body needs water to carry impurities and dead fat cells out of your system. You need a sufficient amount of water to keep your skin hydrated so that it will respond properly to significant loss of weight. One should drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water daily, and that is the minimum. Those who have more to lose should drink even more, about one-half your body weight in ounces. 30 grams of fiber daily should accompany your water consumption. This will promote healthy bowel function, which is essential for proper weight loss.

Do not cheat. Take 500 calories a day. Do not cheat and eat more, and don't skimp and take less. Remember that this diet protocol has been perfected over the last 50 years, so its best not to mess with the chemistry. Also, do not get in a rut by eating the same meals day after day. This is a trap, which will make you bored with the diet when there is so much to choose. Be sure to use spices, the food does not need to be bland. Be vigilant to avoid sugar, so spice mixes may contain sugar.

Spice up your meals - Eating the same old meals day after day, will only lead to boredom, then cheating. Use plenty of spices when you cook, to ensure that meals are not bland. However, check the ingredients to make sure that the spice does not contain sugar. Find a good HCG recipe book and find some variety.

Eliminate activities that promote overeating - Designate an eating place in your home (not in front of the TV), do not even eat snacks, unless you are in the eating place. Be sure to shop for food on a full stomach. Plan your meals at regular intervals and do not eat after 6 pm. If you eat and lay down, the body will have a tendency to store fat. Serve your food on smaller plates and wait 10 -15 minutes before you eat seconds.

Increase your physical activity - avoid strenuous activity, however some things you can do to increase the activity is to take the stairs instead of the elevator, park your car a couple of blocks from your destination and walk, and take a walk at lunch time. In fact a 30 minute walk about 5 times a week would suffice.

These tips should get you well on your way to success with the hCG weight loss injections. Some of them will help get you through the diet easier, and some of them will be great for an ongoing healthy lifestyle. One thing for sure, they will all help prepare you to become the "new you".
