diet tips

The HCG drops diet plan is an essential component of the HCG weight loss program needed to lose weight quickly and safely. Most people are unaware of the kinds of food that they can eat while following the HCG diet. But more importantly, it is also essential to know the number of calories in each food item before consuming them, as the only way to succeed in the diet program is to keep a strict watch on the calories in every food item.Like most sensible diet plans, the HCG drops diet plan highly recommends that several kinds of lean protein can be had while following the HCG weight loss program. 

However, such proteins should only be limited during lunch and dinner with a limited portion serving size of approximately 100 grams or about 3 1/2 ounces. This portion must be weighed carefully before cooking and can be enjoyed during the main meals.Proteins included in the HCG drops diet plan include skinless chicken breast, sirloin, all kinds of whitefish, lobsters, shrimps, crabs and even lean cuts of veal and beef. Remember to trim all animal produce of visible fat and ensure that the meat is prepared without adding additional fats. Proteins consumed during lunch and dinner can be broiled or grilled, depending upon your taste preference.

Another important staple while following the HCG drops diet plan is to incorporate non-starchy vegetables in the diet. Non-starchy vegetables are not only vital in providing fibre to maintain a healthy digestive system but are also useful in increasing satiety and keeping you feel full between main meals.Within non-starchy vegetables, Boston lettuce, green leaf lettuce, iceberg and romaine salad greens, beet greens, cabbage, spinach, Swiss chard, cucumbers, tomatoes, asparagus, red radishes, fennel and celery are permitted.

The above mentioned vegetables contain approximately 20 to 25 calories per cup and hence it is important to carefully measure out your meal portion in order to stay within your calorie limits.        

If you are in the mood for snacking between meals, you are permitted to snack on one whole wheat or a whole meal cracker, munch on a crunchy apple, have an orange or half a grapefruit or even indulge in a handful of red luscious strawberries. While putting together your meals you are permitted to use all kinds of dried and fresh herbs as well as spices. However, the HCG drops diet plan does not recommend using either oil or butter while cooking, but you can make use of a non-stick cooking spray while preparing meals in order to prevent the foods from sticking onto the pan.

Concerning beverages, you are permitted to drink as much water as you can, as the daily recommendation of water consumption in the HCG drops diet plan is approximately 2 litres every day. If you are craving for something more you can have freshly squeezed lemon juice, green tea, or black coffee. The HCG drops diet plan does not permit the addition of sugar in beverages and hence if you are looking to sweeten your palate, you could add artificial sweeteners to your beverages.

During the entire tenure of the diet, it is important to keep reminding yourself that you are only permitted to consume approximately 500 calories every day from the above mentioned limited set of foods. Maintaining this momentum during the entire course of the HCG drops diet plan will ensure that you lose weight swiftly an effectively.

 

How does HCG Help with Reducing Weight?

Simply put, HCG helps dieters lose weight by metabolizing the body’s stored fat during the dieting process. This not only keeps you energized while on a very low calorie diet, but it also helps you lose inches faster than with diet and exercise alone.

There are two types of fat in your body. The first type is visceral fat, which provides short-term energy storage. When you engage in short bursts of activity, you burn visceral fat. The second type is subcutaneous fat, which your body uses for long-term energy storage. Visceral fat is located in the abdomen, situated around your vital organs. Subcutaneous fat is located all over your body. Generally, about 90% of the fat in the human body is subcutaneous. Additionally, women typically have a higher percentage of subcutaneous fat as opposed to men, who typically carry more visceral fat. Regardless of sex, however, this subcutaneous fat is the “stubborn” fat that is hard to lose with diet and exercise. Subcutaneous fat is the same “stored fat” that HCG metabolizes.

 
quotes    Women typically have a higher percentage of subcutaneous fat as opposed to men   quotes
 

HCG metabolizes your subcutaneous fat by communicating with your hypothalamus, a very important part of your brain that regulates most of your metabolic functions such as hunger, thirst, body temperature, fatigue and more. In the case that you are undernourished – that is, you are consuming fewer calories than you are burning – HCG will tell your hypothalamus to metabolize your subcutaneous fat for adequate nourishment. HCG allows your body to retrieve your stored energy by burning that stubborn fat.

The amazing effects of HCG on the hypothalamus were discovered by Dr. Albert T. W. Simeons who observed that malnourished women tend to give birth to health babies with normal birth weights. Dr. Simeons concluded that women are able to do this because the HCG hormone that their bodies naturally produced during pregnancy helped their bodies to metabolize subcutaneous fat. During pregnancy, HCG was able to provide proper nourishment for not only the babies but also the mothers by tapping into the mothers’ stored energy.

Dr. Simeons later used HCG to treat obesity with great success. His methods, which are still used by physicians today, are laid out in his 1954 bookPounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity. We include a copy of Dr. Simeons book in every order, so you can fully understand the science behind the method and ensure the best results possible!

Are hCG Drops Safe for Weight Loss?

This is a question we hear quite often. The FDA mistakenly states that the HCG diet cannot be safe because it dictates a very low calorie diet of 500 calories per day and that you will become very malnourished.

There are two very important responses to this misinformation:

Weight Loss Word Cloud1) If you choose to diet very aggressively by restricting calorie intake to 500 calories per day you are not “starving” yourself.

The whole concept of the HCG protocol is activating your long term fat stores to provide a supplemental source of calories by efficiently converting fat into glucose.

This released glucose in your bloodstream makes up the calorie deficit. Without HCG, your body would slow its metabolism and block this fat conversion leaving you very malnourished indeed.

quotes    This is the secret to HCG’s power; remember HCG’s role during pregnancy? quotes

2) With Nutra Pure HCG, our formula is so effective that you can take in up to 800-1000 calories per day and still lose weight. You just need to eliminate bad carbs and eat right

The performance of homeopathic HCG has been improved over mother nature (hormonal HCG) with other metabolic enhancements to make it work at higher calorie levels. So don’t worry about the naysayers they typically have never tried HCG nor even looked into its properties.

Exercise and HCG Drops

Exercise is a great way to shed unwanted pounds, relieve stress, and keep you vibrant and healthy. So with all these amazing benefits, is exercise recommended while on the HCG diet? Many experts think not. In fact, rigorous exercise is frowned upon by professionals while on the HCG diet due to many factors. Let's delve into them to have a better understanding of how the HCG diet works.

Exercise Not Recommended!

exercise

Due to the fact that one doesn't consume as many calories on the HCG diet and most people follow a strict 500 calorie per day diet, strenuous exercise like heavy cardio and lifting weights is discouraged. HCG drops take the stored fat deposits in your body and make them constantly available for your body to use as nourishment and energy. Since a lot of food isn't going straight into the stomach to be used for fueling the body, there aren't enough calories to use for energy during an intense workout.

With this diet, the stored fat deposits take a bit of time to break down to be used for energy and if you add working out to the equation, the body will utilize the stored fat as an energy source causing the body to be extremely undernourished. This will make your body incredibly hungry and exhausted all at once.

With added hunger means added food and calories, making it easier to binge on cheat meals and eat more than you should on the HCG diet. Ultimately, this throws the entire diet off balance. The point of the HCG diet is to suppress your hunger while using energy that is already stored as fat, thus helping you shed unwanted pounds quickly.

Can't Give Up Exercise?

We understand. Because it can be a great way to relieve stress while increasing your overall health, some have difficulty not being active. If you MUST work out on the HCG diet, you can try minimally increasing your daily caloric intake while still taking the recommended HCG drops on schedule.

It may cause you to plateau a bit so it's not generally suggested to do this on this particular diet, but if you can manage it well then go for it. Just make sure you are aware of the extra calories you're putting in your body on a daily basis to fight off the increased hunger.Try to burn off the excess calories plus a bit more that you are putting into your body on a daily basis to stay on target to lose weight.

How Hungry Will I Be on the HCG Diet?

When people start the HCG diet, they often worry they will starve or constantly be hungry since this particular weight loss strategy consists of HCG drops and a daily 500-calorie diet. Fortunately, this will not happen!

HCG drop users are surprised to learn once they begin the program that they actually don't experience normal hunger like the average person. This is because the HCG drops utilize the stored fat supply within the body which then moves 2,000-3,000 calories each day into the bloodstream for one's nutritional needs and for energy purposes. This makes the 500-calorie diet quite feasible and realistic for anyone to follow. Some have even reported that they can't even take in the total 500 calories required daily because they feel so satisfied and full isn't that encouraging!

What to Do If You Experience Hunger

If you do experience hunger, don't be discouraged. It doesn't mean the HCG drops aren't working. Some people are emotional eaters and go to food when they're feeling sad, scared, nervous, stressed, etc. It's important to be aware when you're feeling hungry to determine if it's an emotional response to something going on in your life or are you truly hungry? Being able to separate the two will be help you decide if you actually need more calories or not.       

You also may be experiencing feeling empty, not necessarily hungry. Since a 500-calorie diet does not completely fill your stomach, it can definitely make you feel emptier. But this doesn't mean you are hungry. But if you feel empty, don't fret. You should normally not feel hungry since the HCG drops have so many calories flowing through your blood from your stored fat supply that will sustain you and energize you throughout the day.      

If you're used to eating snacks between meals, it can be a bit difficult adjusting to that once on the HCG diet. It's normal to feel hungry shortly before your next meal on the HCG diet, but it should not make you starving. It will just take some getting used to if you were a big snacker before the HCG diet. But don't worry ' It will get easier to adjust to.

The first week is usually the hardest for people when it comes to harder which is why the two loading days are so crucial when starting the HCG diet. It's important to follow the regime properly and load up on as much fat as possible to store up the calories needed to sustain this diet. This will help you feel less hungry after the first week and make your weight loss goals become a reality as you continue on the HCG journey.

The support of your family and friends will help you tremendously while on the HCG drop diet as well. Ask for help and accountability and it will make the process easier. And remember'you can do it! You'll feel and look great in a short time too!
