The HCG Diet is not being called the Weight Loss Cure for nothing! It offers amazing and unique weight loss results in an industry that has been crawling with supposedly effective diets for years. But there are a few points that can make or break your success on the program.
1. Stick to the diet. The way the HCG interacts with the body means you get significant weight loss, but it also means that if you introduce fatty foods or sugar to your body while it is under the effect of the HCG it will soak it up resulting in higher than normal weight gain in reaction to the foods ingested. So having that one bite or two of your favorite dessert or those yummy ribs at the neighbor’s barbeque will actually undo all the hard work you’ve put in for the entire day (or more).
2. Prepare your meals. Choose appropriate recipes and cook in bulk. Then package them individually so they are available as necessary. 500 calories is very limited. DO NOT let yourself get hungry. It will eventually break you.
3. Experiment until you find an herbal tea and a non-sugar sweetener that you enjoy. They will make sticking to the plan much, much easier. You can use the sweetener in several available recipes to help you feel like you’ve got the sweets that you are actually expected to deny yourself.
4. Take advantage of the “seasonings” you are allowed on the diet. Lemon juice in your water can make a huge difference. Have a variety of spices so that you feel like you’re having something new and exciting when you serve up another meal of grilled chicken. HCG dieters have even suggested that cutting up an apple and drizzling lemon juice on it serves as a very yummy dessert.
The majority of HCG dieters successfully complete the program. The low cal diet, the HCG’s effect on the hypothalamus work together to provide the most effective weight loss available.
