HCG Diet Hygiene and Beauty Products

One peculiar feature of the HCG diet protocol is that your body can become very sensitive to even a tiny intake of fats.  Even oils, creams, and ointments applied on the skin are easily absorbed which can interfere with how the hormone works. The oils will end up in the body just as you had eaten them according to Dr. Simeons.

Lotions, creams and ointments

If you typically use lotions, creams, and moisturizers every day, then you’ll have to make some adjustments when on the HCG diet. There are several oil-free moisturizers and lotions available in the market that you can use during the HCG diet. You can also replace moisturizers with mineral oil based moisturizing agents.

If you use sunscreen then it should be oil-free or when you put them on someone else, you should wear a glove. Avoid using deodorants. It’s much better to use a natural deodorant made from baby oil and peppermint essential oil.

Cosmetics

In Pounds and Inches, Dr. Simeon was cautious against any cosmetics other than eyebrow pencil, powder and lipstick.

  • Lipstick: Choose a lipstick and lip gloss that doesn’t contain moisturizers. Lip glosses and lipstick today often times have moisturizers so be careful. Avoid lip balm too.
  • Mascara: During Dr. Simeon’s day, mascara is often made with Vaseline but not in the modern day. So, it’s totally fine if you wear one.
  • Foundation: Use a powder foundation. Avoid liquid foundations even if it is oil-free.

Shampoo, Conditioner and toothpaste

You can continue using your regular shampoo and conditioner as long as you do not rub them into your scalp. Use them sparingly and do not leave them on your scalp for a long time. Toothpaste typically contains sorbitol, a form of sugar alcohol. It’s not allowed on the HCG diet so avoid swallowing them. Make it sure that you rinse your mouth thoroughly after brushing.

Stress and Weight Gain

HCG can help you lose weight when combined with a very low calorie diet. It resets your hypothalamus gland causing your body to use the “Abnormal Fats” as a source of energy. However, a high level of stress can interfere with this process. High level of stress can counteract the effects of the hormone causing your body to put on weight.

Unexpected Ways Stress Can Cause Weight Gain

  1. Stress decreases your metabolism. When you are stressed, your body reacts to stress by acting as if foods won’t be available in the future. This causes your metabolism and fat burning ability to slow down.
  2. Stress provides for a more fat storage. Your body assumes that there’s a lack of food so it begins to store fats.
  3. Stress can lead to an unhealthy craving. People who are always stressed become emotional eaters. This leads to relapses into addictions, excessive drinking of alcohol and food cravings.

Reasons for Keeping Stress Level Low on the HCG Diet

  1. Stress often leads to diarrhea, bloating, pain and constipation due to physiological effects.
  2. Stress can interfere with the HCG hormone causing an immune problem. This is because when you are stressed your body releases new hormone that interferes with the ones that you have injected.
  3. Stress can lead to bad eating habits.
  4. The HCG hormone could alter your blood pressure when you are stressed.
  5. High level of stress can cause severe skin disorder.

Some tips to help decrease stress while on the HCG Diet

  • Exercise: Exercise is a great way to decrease stress. It releases a certain hormone that can make you feel happy.
  • Eat only the approved HCG Diet foods: The HCG diet foods can make you feel more relaxed. Just be creative with coming up with different mouth-watering menus using only the approved HCG diet foods and spices.
  • Meditate: Meditation relaxes both your body and mind. So take a few minutes every day to sit and clear your mind.
  • Make time for yourself: NO matter how busy you are, make time for yourself. A few minutes of your time can make a huge difference in your ability to deal with your day.
  • Learn how to respond to stress positively.
  • Be happy. The very low calorie diet can be pretty tough and challenging. But if you will have an easier time if you can change your attitude. Be happy and positive all the time.

Foods that May Contribute to Stress at Work

A looming deadline at work, getting your kid’s school project ready the night before they are due can be stressful. Dealing with stress can be tough. They can be good sometimes because stress inspires you to make changes in your life and get things done. But staying stressed for too long can be harmful to your health especially when on the HCG diet.

Sometimes it isn’t just tough situations that cause stress. The foods you eat and drink are sometimes to blame. Some foods can have a negative impact on your body. Since what you eat is something that you can change and control, it will be easy for you to NOT eat something that will negatively affect your health.

  1. Sugar

Sugar is a big NO on the very low calorie diet phase of the HCG diet. It’s the first food that you need to cut-out. One of the occasional treat at work is candies and chocolates. It’s totally fine to eat one sometimes but over-indulging is another story. Sweet treats at work containing artificial sweeteners can also lead to health problems like a headache, metabolic disease and heart disease. Artificial sweeteners may cause side effects that can lead to stress.

  1. Caffeine

Drinking coffee on the HCG diet is allowed. However, it should be consumed in moderation. A small amount of coffee is safe on the HCG diet but over-consumption can lead to a serious problem. Too much caffeine in the body can cause anxiety and loss of concentration. This can make you less productive at work and heightened your stress level. Keep in mind also that caffeine is found not just in your coffee. It’s also in the soft drinks, energy drinks, chocolate, over-the-counter pain reliever and some types of tea.

  1. High-fat foods

Steer clear from foods containing high fats such as pizza, greasy burgers, fried chickens and chips. 100% whole fat dairy like yogurt, cheese and milk should be limit. Consuming a large amount of these dairy products especially on the HCG diet will do no good.

  1. Alcohol

Having a glass of red wine might help you relaxed after a day’s work. Too much alcohol may likely affect your health negatively, adding more stress to your life. Alcohol also increases the production of hormones that can leave you feeling restless and more stressed. Too much alcohol can also increase your blood pressure and heart rate. This triggers the same stress-like symptoms in the body. Alcoholic beverages also are packed with sugar.

Stress and the HCG Diet

Stress is not always easy to handle especially when on the HCG Diet. High levels of stress can interfere with the process of how the hormone metabolizes the abnormal fats. It counteracts the effects of the HCG. As a result, the body starts to put on weight.

How will this unwanted condition affect your weight loss?

Stress can actually have a totally opposite effect on your weight. For some, stress causes weight loss but it’s not good at all. This is unhealthy and it can cause weakness and dehydration. The overall health is negatively affected. Other tend to gain weight due to the bouts of “comfort” eating or also known as stress eating. This is really a BIG NO if you are on the HCG diet. Stress eating contributes to the build-up of excess calories. And when you’re done with your stress eating it’ll probably be too late for you to regret because you’re months of dieting efforts have all been wasted.

From a study, it had been determined that it’s also the hypothalamus that is responsible for weight gain when you are consumed by stress and anxiety. It’s the very same gland that you are trying to reset with the HCG hormone. It is very vital therefore that you need to keep your stress level low when on the HCG diet.

Reasons for keeping your Stress Level Low on the HCG Diet

  • Stress can affect how your body processes the foods you are eating. This often leads to diarrhea, bloating, pain and constipation. When this happens, your body will start to store fats and you’ll end up gaining some inevitable amount of weight.
  • Stress stimulates the release of a new hormone. This interferes with the hormone you are injecting causing an immune problem.
  • High level of stress can lead to fatigue, low energy and dryness of mouth.
  • Stress can make you turn towards your comfort food. Remember that while you are on the HCG diet, you only need to consume at least 500 calories a day.
  • Stress can cause your blood pressure to spike and lead to unwanted stroke.
  • Stress can cause unwanted skin conditions and diseases.

The best thing to do obviously is to avoid stress though it’s not the easiest thing to do. That is why a lot of dieters are struggling with their weight loss and diet that does not seem to work.

Losing those Baby Weight with HCG Diet

Losing those baby weights after giving birth is quite challenging-but not with HCG diet! The HCG diet can be a great way for you to get back in shape after pregnancy. HCG diet is one of the best post-pregnancy weight loss options.

Some tips to help you lose those baby weights

  1. You can normally begin your weight loss challenge using the HCG diet after six weeks. Don’t be so fast…ONLY if you are NOT breastfeeding and you are not in any circumstances under medications. If you think six weeks will not work for you, you can do the HCG diet as soon as you are able.

If you are breastfeeding, dieting may not be a good idea. You will likely have to wait until such time your baby starts to take in solid foods. Dieting can cause some problems with your milk supply and energy levels.

  1. Remember that there are changes in your body that can’t simply be fixed by any diets. This includes you having a larger waistline, softer belly and wider hips. Just as with any other diets, do not expect that you’ll look exactly the same as how you used to look before giving birth.
  2. Those who were not overweight prior to pregnancy can easily lose their post-pregnancy weight. But those who were overweight will likely to take a longer time to get back on shape. However, do not be discouraged because HCG diet assures you that you can lose around 15- 30 pounds in just six weeks.
  3. Make sure that you’ll change your diet plan to lose the post-pregnancy weight. At all cost, avoid processed foods. Eat foods that omega-3 fatty acids rich and foods that high in nutrients. Examples of these foods are fatty fish, avocado, spinach quinoa and many more. These foods are all superfoods and are great weight loss foods. With HCG diet, your food choices are limited. You are only allowed to eat the HCG diet friendly foods. Your calorie intake is only limited to 500 calories per day.
  4. You can lose weight if you’re breastfeeding so you can add another 200 or 300 calories to your daily calorie intake. Just make it sure that you eat only foods that can make you lose weight at the same time are healthy for you and your baby. But remember, you can only do the HCG diet if you are not breastfeeding.
