HCG Diet

Are you close enough to be on the maintenance stage of the HCG Diet? Are you wondering just what you can eat and what you can’t? Are you thinking in advance to how you will do it? Troubled on having an increased weight?

When I started practicing the HCG Diet, it gave me a new place in life. It gave me back my sense of self and who I am. I realized that I could lose weight without visiting a psychologist and solving why I was so overweight. You do not need to do strict exercises. You can do this diet and you can keep the weight off. The HCG Diet is a miracle diet in a lot of means.

But, I think those three weeks of maintenance are crucial. Counting your calories is not necessary. Just lessen your starches and sugars…Yeah…”just”…it is not very easy. And check the scales every single morning, to keep on track. Those three weeks are so important for restarting your hypothalamus to a new weight…a new set point.

1) When you complete the HCG Diet, you do your last application of hCG, though you’ll do it, shots or oral/sublingual, etc., and then you carry on for 2 more days with the VLCD (very low calorie diet) while you wait for a large amount of the hCG to be removed from your body. You’ll go on losing weight for those days after the last hCG.

2) After that you can have whatever you like with the exception of sugars or starches, which basically means, no cookies, no crackers, no desserts, no flour, no pasta, no spaghetti, no breads, etc. As long as you follow that thoroughly for 3 weeks, you must be able to carry on at your last diet weight, or within 2 pounds. If you go up 2 pounds, you must do a steak day, as described in Pounds and Inches. It is very principal to maintain your weight in that range for those three weeks to revive your hypothalamus and “set point,” so that you keep the weight off.

Do you know the saying, “If you want to lose weight, just cut out the white foods?” My dietrician told me that years ago. I wish I had paid attention to his recommendation, because I may never have gotten so overweight in the first place. My first baby was just born and my doctor told me to reduce spaghetti and potato intake. It felt too easy and also, too hard raising a family. So “white foods” are things such as white sugar, white flour, white rice, white potatoes, white bread. But, just through maintenance. It’s not forever.

I have no proof for this, however I think that the HCG won’t leave your body completelt as fast as 2-3 days after the diet. I think that is another reason why the three weeks after of no sugars or starches is so important. Dr. Simeons suggested to combine fruits warily, because of the natural sugar, weighing every day.

3) If you increase in weight, use the steak day plan. Dr. Simeons said, that is the one best thing you can do. A steak day is one meal, customarily at dinner of steak and a raw tomato or apple.
