After I finish the HCG Diet Phase 2, do I have to do Phase 3 if I am going to repeat Phase 2 later?
The HCG Diet Protocol was designed by a medical doctor and researcher with special interest in obesity. It was very common for his patients to continue on the HCG after completeing the the first round. The six week -between HCG doses rule was very strictly adhered to and proved to get excellent results according to Dr. A.W. Simeon. He gave instructions to always continue with Phase 3 first and then wait an extra three weeks before beginning Phase 2 again.
Phase 3 or what he refers to as Reset is a period of eating more normally with the exception of starches so that the hypothalmus which controls ones metabolism could be reset or retrained to burn as it should. This is an important step in the process. Leaving it out could affect your success.
It is amazing to observe diets who are on the new HCG Diet. It appears to begin at the neck and facial area and slowly move to shoulders, chest and waist and then down to hips and thighs. The pounds and inches just seem to melt away day by day. Re shaping of the body begins to take place and over the 40 day period there is a significant difference in the body of the HCG Dieter. At the end of the 40 days and then the 21 day reset diet, observers notice the difference immediately and often comment on the weight loss.
Many HCG Dieters decide to go back on the protocol for additional weight loss after six weeks from the last dose. This dramatic result motivates many to get all the excess fat from their body and glady repeat the process.
By far the most best diet plan to lose weight quickly and safely seems to be the popular HCG Diet. It is easily accessible both online and locally and is reasonably priced. It continues to get raving reports from men, women, those in the medical field and the nutritional field.
It has been given credibility on Dr. Oz’s TV show several times this year and is becoming known all over the world as a safe effective weight loss program. Because of its popularity websties are popping up almost daily trying to make money from this product. Special care must be taken to select a credible company online that has quality HCG and has been in business for a few years to establish its credibility.
It is most helpful and even mandatory to make a habit of weighing first thing every morning on the HCG Diet and thereafter. Not only does it measure your progress but it also monitors any weight gain so that it can be quickly lost. A very important ingredient in this protocol is the ability to control any weight gain of two pounds or over by immediately doing an apple / steak day. The next morning the two pounds will be lost.
This habit will prove to be the best kept secret to maintaing weight loss. Many who have done the HCG Diet and lost 30, 40, 100 pounds, have maintained it for three, five, seven years or more. Weighing daily is a small price to pay for that kind of success!
Following Phase 3 of the original HCG Diet should result in a resetting of the body weight set point and hypothalamus. This is the phase that resets metabolism to a high normal state, eliminates future intense constant hunger, and prevents the abnormal future storing of fat in problem areas of fat reserves in the body. For twenty one days after the last HCG dosage, you are allowed to eat as much food and any type of food except the following list:
- no sugar or any sweetener except stevia
- No starch including breads, pastas, wheat, white rice, potatoes, yams, etc.
- No artificial sweetners
- No food from fast food restaurants
- No trans fats, including hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils
- No nitrites
- Limit non-prescription and prescription drug use
- Limit ice cold drinks
- Limit exposure to air conditioning
Additiionally, doing the following is highly suggested:
- Drink one-half to one gallon of pure spring water daily.
- Walk for one hour per day
- Eat a minimum of two organic apples per day
- Eat a grapefruit per day
- Sleep seven to eight hours per night
- Eat a large breakfast
- Eat something six times per day
- Avoid MSG
- Add fiber to your diet
- Listen to stress reducing music
Could you make suggestions that will help after the HCG diet is complete.
It is important after Phase 3 of the HCG Diet Plan is completed to continue with good and different habits than you had before. Try adding the following suggestions to your lifestyle:
- Sit at a table and be relaxed when eating a meal.
- Do not eat in front of the TV, in the car, or standing up
- Eat slowly and consciously chew food thoroughly.
- Play relaxing music while eating
- Put smaller amounts of food on your plate and don’t go for seconds
- Be conscious about whether you are really hungry or full. Stop eating when you are no longer hungry.
What causes “emotional eating” patterns and can the HCG diet help this?
The cause of eating when you are not hungry is a combination of stress and anxiety patterns locked in the body as well as the hypnotic triggers that are in our minds due to the highly advanced suggestive advertsing from TV, radio and print media put out by the food companies. Combine this with the fact that the food we eat is loaded with chemical agents to create drug-like physical addiction so the food is craved.
It is important to take the advice of Dr. Simeon and the HCG weight loss diet and not eat certain forbidden foods such as highly refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, MSG, food with nitrites, meat or poultry that has been raised with growth hormone, farm raised fish. Also do a total body cleanse at least 4 times a year.
The HCG Diet was first introduced by Dr. A. W. Simeon and it was he that perscribed the exact items to eat on the diet. However, it has more recently been discovered that to leave off the melba toast speeds up the fat burning process. For those who need this extra bit of carbohydrate daily you should eat it. If you decide not to partake of the melba toast, your fat burning will speed up.
It has nothing to do with aiding the weight loss. It is to satisfy craving and hunger if needed.
Because the HCG Diet is aiming to rid your body of toxins which affect weight loss, you should not eat anything with MSG in it. Never again should you eat MSG as long as you live. It is a deadly, dangerous excitotoxin. It increases depression, increases appetite, and makes you fat.
Read labels and throw away anything with this substance in it. Chinese food often is loaded with MSG. Choose wisely.
While on the HCG Diet Plan you should never use any artificial sweetners. You should never use these again for the rest of your life. All artifiical sweeteners should never be consumed. They increase depression, are physically, chemically addicting and make you fat.
Use stevia while on the HCG Diet Protocol. Later Agave Nectar, small amounts of honey or raw sugar should be substituted for the artificail sweeteners.
