Maximizing weight loss while on the hcg diet

By Jon S Green


The hCG injection diet is the fastest, safest, most effective, and most nutritious diet available in the past 50 years. It works, and it has always worked. It is a very precise diet based on proper daily injections of the hCG hormone along with a specific intake of 500 nutritious calories a day. Taking the hCG injection diet is easier, thanks to the effect of the hormone, however it still requires discipline and will power on your part. Included here are some tips and suggestions to help you achieve your weight loss goal the fastest and easiest way possible

See your Physician and a diet Counselor. The only way to get on the hCG injection diet is through a prescription from a doctor. He or she will set up weekly monitoring for you and help you track your progress while keeping an eye on your general health. It is also advised to see a diet counselor to determine is there are any emotional or addictive issues for you as relating to food.

Do not skip the loading days. The first two days of the diet require you to consume high calories and high fat. This is very important to get you through the first few days of low caloric intake. Those who are industrious may want to start out taking low calories from day one, but you will do more harm than good.

Keep a weight diary. Keeping a diary about your daily weight, what you ate, and what you did not eat are very good ways to keep your focus on the diet. Remember that this diet is as much a lifestyle change as it is a nutritional change. The daily recording of lost weight could be you single biggest source of encouragement.

Keep a routine - Make sure you take your hCG injections at the same time every day, and no more than once every 24 hours. Be sure to check your weight every day at the same time (usually first thing in the morning), and make sure you have similar clothing on.

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 on the calories. This cannot be more emphatically stated. The 500 calories are to give you sufficient energy to maintain healthy muscle and bone function. Anything beyond this can do one or two things. It can store extra calories as fat, and it can cause your body to burn less calories, thus inhibit weight loss. The most important part is that we are seeking the chemical balance to cause your metabolic rate to speed up.

Extend the eating process. Drink a cup of tea or two glasses of water hour before you eat. Chew your food slowly and deliberately. Serve your meals on smaller plates, the goal here is to change your eating habit from quantity to quality; it is a mindset. If you have room and calories for seconds, wait 10 - 15 minutes before eating them.

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 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 will help you be successful in your weight loss, and in your developing a change of lifestyle and habits that will help you maintain your weight loss.
