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.

Be sure to participate in the loading days. The first two days of your diet are critical to the weight loss process. The patient is required to eat high calories and fat these two days. This is instrumental in helping your body to adjust while waiting for the hCG to take effect, and when it does, you will have less trouble with side effects. Do not consider starting on low calories from day one.

Keep a daily diary. Keep a diary of your daily weights and your meals, your thoughts and your feelings; anything that helps you to focus and reflect on the diet. Healthy and nutritious eating is a conscious effort. Writing down what you are doing helps to reinforce good habits. In addition, the daily record of weight lost is a tremendous motivator. In line with this is to join a forum for hCG injection dieters as another layer of accountability and support.

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.

Drink plenty of water - The rule of thumb is to drink half your weight in ounces every day. If you cannot do this, the minimum should be one half gallon or eight glasses daily. Removing impurities from your bloodstream and transferring nutrients from your stored fat cells requires a significant amount of water. Coffee is allowed on the diet, however, be mindful that caffeine can cause cravings. Drink two glasses of water or hot tea about 30 minutes before a meal to help reduce appetite. Hand in hand with water, is to take in 30 grams of fiber daily - Good hydration and proper bowel function will aid the diet process immensely.

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.

Be conscious of activities that promote overeating. Shop for food on a full stomach. Plan your meals in advance and try not to eat with 3 hours of going to bed. Designate and eating place in your home, and never deviate from this. Do not eat in front of the TV.

Increase your level of activity. The object here is to prompt positive behavior that will serve you when you go back to a full calorie diet. Strenuous exercise is not the desired routine. The ideal approach would be a 30-minute walk each day. Take the stairs instead of the escalator. The object is to get you to strengthen muscles that you are not used to using, and to widen your perception of activity.

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".
