A Few Good HCG Tips

By Amelia Handley

While many are calling the HCG diet the weight loss cure...it's not worth anything if you can't successfully complete the program. It's a very low calorie, limited meal plan that works with the HCG to offer immediate and very noticeable weight loss. Here are some worthwhile suggestions to aid you as you aim for your weight loss goals:

1. Do not stray from the diet. The HCG interacts with the body to alter the physiological function and allow you to decrease the amount of fat and fat cells you're holding onto. But it depends upon a lack of fat and sugar in the body. So introducing even a small amount will cause a problem.

2. Keep ready made meals on hand. The hardest time to stick to a diet is when you're starving. And when you're on a 500 calorie diet (even with the fabulous distraction from hunger that the HCG provides) you're going to have moments when you feel like you HAVE to eat RIGHT NOW! So keep ready made meals on hand. Pull one of the recipes from the cookbook and make it or double it or whatever you think will work for you (and your family if you're feeding the group) and then take the leftovers and package them up in handy individual size servings.

3. Test various herbal teas and flavors of Stevia until you come up with a combination that you like. This is the only "limitless" item on the HCG diet in addition to water so if you like it you'll have a much easier time of it for the duration.

4. There are many seasonings allowed on the HCG diet. Take advantage of them. You can do a lot with lemon juice. And there's no need to eat plain, unseasoned boiled chicken unless you just prefer it that way. Try different seasonings and make sure you feel like you're getting a little bit of variety within the guidelines presented by the program.

Sticking to any low calorie diet is difficult. But the HCG diet is an extremely low calorie diet. The HCG keeps the body from going into starvation mode, but make sure to follow the tips you're give so you can keep from going into a psychological starvation mode!
