Why Wheat Starch Can Destroy Your HCG Diet

By Dr. Dennis Clark


The HCG diet offers hope to people that are serious about losing weight. However, it is important to follow directions when you are on this kind of program. What you eat is very important and it is vital that you keep wheat starch from your meals.

When you first start the HCG diet you must go though the loading phase and then comes the hard part. You consume very low calories and must be careful about the kind of foods that you eat. However, it is common to lose weight every day in a consistent manner with this kind of eating. Yet, this is not where many people make terrible mistakes.

When people enter the maintenance phase of the HCG diet, they are prone to making serious errors. In order to maintain your weight, you cannot eat sugar and you must avoid certain carbohydrates. It is very important to avoid wheat products as they have starch that can cause many problems.

Wheat contains a complex carbohydrate starch and this starch has concentrated glucose or sugar. This is perhaps one of the easiest types of carbohydrates for you to digest. This may seem like a good thing, as most people seek to make their digestion process as simple as possible. Yet, bad things can happen when you digest complex carbohydrates too quickly.

Most people understand that avoiding sweets is good advice for those on a weight loss plan. You get too many calories from sweetened foods and they also cause blood glucose levels to soar or spike. Also, two slices of wheat bread will cause the same thing to occur. When things rise quickly, they drop just as easily and this happens with blood sugar.

When your blood sugar suddenly falls you become hungry. It makes no difference if it has only been a short time since your last meal. This is why many people eat when they should not. They are taking in foods that actually make them hungry in a short amount of time.

If you are serious about keeping off the weight with an HCG diet plan, make sure to avoid wheat starch and foods that contain wheat. This will help to keep your blood sugar on an even keel and you will be less prone to hunger urges. Also, many people are sensitive to gluten in wheat, so you may also feel much better if you avoid wheat starch.
