The HCG Diet Plan protocol combines HCG with
a Very Low Calorie Diet (500 calories) . If you
are looking to lose all of your excess fat and
keep it off, you should consider the HCG diet
weight loss protocol. Dr. David Hobson,
MD, PA, can assist you with the HCG Diet Plan.
Dr. Hobson provides medical services and
assists in weight loss plans to patients in the
Fort Bend County, Texas area, including
Rosenberg, Richmond, Sugar Land, Fulshear,
Needville, and Missouri City in neighborhoods
including First Colony, New Territory,
Greatwood, Telfair, Bridlewood, Pecan Grove,
Sienna Plantation and many others.
After initially hearing about the plan, you may
wonder if 500 calories a day will leave you too
hungry to stay motivated on the diet.
One of the facts of the HCG diet plan is that
the HCG actually helps you to feel satisfied on
just 500 calories a day. This happens because
HCG instructs the hypothalamus to release
3000-4000 calories in stored fat every day. This
is plenty to supplement the 500 calories in food
without resulting in hunger.
One of the great motivating factors is that the
HCG diet weight loss sees quick results.
It's easy to stay motivated when you see the
pounds and inches falling off. Women lose an
average of 0.5 to 0.75 pounds per day; men lose
slightly more.
Be sure to take pictures and measurements before
you start. When the scale isn't moving as fast
as you'd like, take your measurements. You'll
find that your body is changing even if the
scale doesn't reflect it.
You
are going to have an overall body reshape in a
good way.
The key to success in the HCG diet plan is to
read Dr. Simeons' book "Pound and Inches: A New
Approach to Obesity". It's very helpful to know
the physiology behind the protocol and the
50-page book is written in easy-to-understand
terms. Your success is based on reading the
book, and then following the protocol as
written.
Simply choosing the parts you want to follow and
ignoring the rest will only lead to failure to
reach or sustain your weight loss goals.
Eat the foods specified in the plan and don't
eat the foods that are not allowed. Drink at
least two liters of water each day. Don't use
any personal care products made with oil. Don't
cheat.
How to engage in the HCG diet plan?
If you plan on engaging in the HCG diet plan,
the one thing that you need to remember is to be
ready. As you already know, this diet is
restrictive and it will require you to stick to
eating specific food types in certain amounts
for faster weight loss. At the same time, this
may be costly as you will need to have your
regular dose of HCG drops for that 40 day diet
period.
To help you get started, here
are some simple tips:
Before going through the HCG diet plan,
prepare yourself as it will surely be very
difficult especially during the first phases
as your body will just be starting to
adjust.
In order to make sure that this diet
planwill be safe for you, it is advisable
that you consult with your doctor first. Your doctor
can help you assess the condition of your
body and provide you with the proper
instructions on how much weight you may need
to lose. (Also read: hcg diet dangers and
side effects)
The first phase of the HCG weight loss
plan is the loading phase. This happens
during the first two days of the 40 day
period. During this phase, you get to eat
all the food that you want as you need to
load up enough energy and essential
nutrients to sustain you during the rest of
the days that you will be following the diet
plan.
Now comes the hard part which is the
VLCD or Very Low Calorie phase. This is
where the real work begins. During this
phase, you will be required to decrease your
calorie consumption to only 500 calories per
day along with your regular doses of HCG.
Since this is a restrictive diet, you will
need to eliminate certain food types from
your diet such as sugar, carbohydrates, and
fats as these are the things that contribute
so much to weight gain. You will be allowed
to drink only those that do not have sugar
or caffeine and will be given fruits for
dessert so as to satisfy your cravings for
something sweet. At the same time, you need
to stick to eating 200 grams of lean meat
per day and consume only specific kinds of
vegetables.
During the latter phase of the HCG diet
plan which is known as the stabilization
phase, you begin to increase your caloric
intake to 800 for women or 1000 for men.
This phase usually lasts for 40 days before
you can return to a normal and healthy diet.
To have a long-term success rate, defined as
continuous weight loss for 1 year, you will need
monthly surveillance after your weight goal has
been achieved.
