What to expect during your first week with HCG Diet

So you are thinking of buying the new bikini that you are planning to wear this coming summer and show off that new curve. Or schedule a photo shoot with your friends a few days from now coz you know that you will look and feel amazing by that time. Those are positive thought and its fun though. But hang in there. Don’t get too caught up thinking about the results of your diet. But instead, focus on how you are going to go about it. Set a realistic goal and be committed to it.

Your loading day is up and you are about to start with your 500 calorie diet for about 21 days or 40 days. You are likely to be successful if you have the right mindset and you know what to expect during your first week with HCG diet.

Hunger pains that are inevitable if you didn’t gorge properly. Your hunger pains peaks around 5^th or 6^th day of VLCD. Try some distractions by keeping your mind busy for the first week on Phase 2. Your hunger pains will subside substantially.
Frequent urination but this isn’t unusual. The HCG hormone and your low-calorie diet are doing the cleansing process that releases excess water from your body. So stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Headaches during the first week of P2. This is common though. It’s either you are dehydrated or it’s a withdrawal symptom. Click here to know more about HCG diet headaches.
Mood changes as your body adjust to the very low-calorie intake. Sometimes it can be stressful so try to do things that will help you relax. Read your favorite book, take a walk or learn a new hobby. These can keep your mind busy and not fixated on the diet. There are other instances when you may experience a heightened sense of well-being and an increased level of energy.
Weight loss result. You can see the result on day 3-4 depending on how you follow the hcg protocol. When you start losing .5-1 pound a day you should be consistent with that number and if you stall you’ll need to do a stall breaker.

Once your first week with VLCD is out of the way the rest of your days with HCG diet will be easier. You just have to stay committed to your new lifestyle.

Dealing with Hunger during VLCD

Regardless of what type of dieting method you do you will certainly experience some hunger.

Why?

When your body calorie intake is lesser than your calorie expenditure, your body will naturally proceed into survival mode. Then it produces a feeling of hunger which motivates you to eat. This response is spontaneous and there is no way around it.

The HCG diet is no different. However, the HCG hormone provides a faster result. Your hunger will subside when the hormone taps into the unwanted fats in your body. The unwanted fats are then converted into your main source of calorie. Usually your hunger pangs peaks around the 5th or 6th days of your HCG diet. Most can get through the first few weeks but if you find yourself struggling, you can try some of the tips below.

Eat more vegetables to control your appetite

One of the effective ways of dealing with hunger during P2 is by increasing your vegetable portion per meal. But make sure that you will not go over your required daily calorie intake. It should not go above 550 calories per day. See to it also that you are eating only the HCG approved vegetables.

You can also lower your protein serving. Instead of eating red meat, eat some fish so you can increase your vegetable portion.

Drink plenty of water

Water is proven to help lower your appetite. So, drink lots and lots of water to make your first few days of Phase 2 of HCG easier. Before you eat any of your meal start off with a glass of water, this can make your stomach feel fuller. Drink also water between your meals or when you eat your snacks.

Lower your appetite by eating a serving of grapefruit or orange

Citrus fruits are excellent to help you control your appetite. They are also rich in fiber which can help to fill you up without adding calories.

Eat slightly more protein

If your work requires you to move around a lot, a slight increase in your protein portion can help you combat your hunger. But you have to be careful not to overdo this so you won’t go over the specified calorie limit.

Slow your eating pace

When you are trying to lose weight, as a general rule, take time with your meals. Slow down with your pace to make it more filling.

Is Mixing of Vegetables on Phase 2 of HCG diet a YES or a NO?

In Dr. Simeons original protocol, he restricted the mixing of vegetables while on the VLCD although he didn’t specifically explain why. But it is believed that this was to avoid eating too many calories unknowingly.

But does it HAS to be this way? Like eating a bowl full of chopped cucumbers with a dash of salt and vinegar until you start getting some gag reflex. OR, is there another way around? Like mixing a little of this and a little of that to make it taste pretty good…

The modern variations of the original protocol permit the mixing of vegetables in Phase 2 of HCG diet and many hcg dieters do experience optimum weight loss. Here’s what you need to know about mixing your vegetables:

When you try mixing your vegetables, make sure that they are all HCG diet approved vegetables.
Use a small amount of each vegetable.
Oil and butter are not allowed so don’t try to use them in your vegetables.
Grill, boil or steam your vegetable mix. Do not sauté them in oil.
Lastly, though it takes an extra effort- weight your vegetable servings out to a certain amount of calorie if you decide to mix them. The mix vegetable portion ends up between 50-70 calories per meal. So, if your protein portion has higher calorie content for 100 grams like beef-your vegetable mix should be at a lower end. But if your protein portion is low like 100 grams of shrimp then your vegetable mix should be higher.

How to mix your vegetable portion during hcg diet phase 2?

Let say you will have red meat for lunch, 100 grams of red meat would give 130 calories. Plus 3 grams of Melba toast with 12 calories and a half cup of grapefruit for 40 calories. This will give you a total of 182 grams for lunch without the vegetable portion. For dinner, 100 grams of shrimp with 110 calories, plus 1 carb portion with 12 calories and another half cup of grapefruit for 40 calories giving you a total of 162 calories. Adding both will give you 346 calories. Minus this from the allotted 500 calories per day gives you a remaining 156 calories.

Now, you will leave half of 156 calories (78 calories) for lunch veggie mix and the other half for dinner. Then break the 78 calories between 3 vegetables of your choice.

As long as you keep your calorie intake not higher than 500 a day you will still get the same results. It’s a matter of personal choice. If you begin to stall in your weight loss, try not to mix them so you can get back on track. And if you find yourself eating too much, stick again with the one vegetable rule per meal.

HCG Diet Apple Day

There are times you plateau for a few days while you are in phase 2 of your HCG diet. Plateau happens when you haven’t lost weight for 3 or more days on the program. Your body can naturally correct the plateau over time but there are ways to speed up the process. And that is by having “Apple Day”.

What is apple day on the HCG Diet?

If you are struggling to lose weight while on the program, this regimen will help you jumpstart your metabolism. From noon one day to noon the following day, you eat 6 apples and nothing else.

What is the purpose?

According to Dr. Simeon, the main purpose of apple day is not actually for faster weight loss but-

To remove extra water weight in the body
Psychological factor-a sort of mental balance to make up for the frustrations and discouragement over not losing weight for a couple of days.

When to do the Apple Day?

It should be done when your weight has been stuck for at least four days according to Dr. Simeons. It should never be done a day when you skip your HCG injection dosage like when you stop having your injections due to your period.

How do you do the apple day?

Apple day starts at lunch and continues until snacks before lunch the next day. You can have 6 large apples and eat one whenever you feel the desire to eat. But do not eat anything or drink anything except for water. And when you drink water, drink just enough to quench your thirst. On your apple day, you will still continue with your HCG injection. Most HCG dieters are quite happy with their 6 apples and don’t need water anymore. It will produce a satisfactory weight loss the following day due to the elimination of water.

Apple day example

Lunch: Red apple

Snack: Green apple

Dinner: Baked apple

Breakfast: Red apple

Snack: Green apple

Lunch: Back to your regular 500 calories but eats only your protein and vegetable choices because you had your fruit portion already.

HCG Diet Beverage List

Phase 2 of HCG diet begins on day three. And the only drinks you can have according to Dr. Simeons manuscript are the following:

Water
Coffee
Tea

You may think that having the same kind of beverages is boring like eating the same old foods while in phase 2. But there are ways to make your drinks taste amazing. You can use 1 tbsp of milk per day, a splash of lemon in your water and natural sweeteners like Stevia and Splenda. You can also use some suggested recipes for blended drinks for your meal replacements. Making a wrong choice by choosing drinks not allowed on HCG diet can cause a stall in your weight loss.

Coffee

Coffee is allowed provided that it’s black and sweetened with stevia. If you desire, you can put 1 tbsp of milk. A cup of black coffee only contains 2 calories. It contains calcium and potassium. It has a high level of antioxidant higher than tea, wine, fruits and vegetables. There is no specific type of coffee specified in the original manuscript.

Tea

Tea has been used for centuries not only to help encourage weight loss but as well as to help relieve some ailments. Tea’s like green tea contains natural antioxidants that protect cells and prevents heart diseases. All types of tea are allowed in HCG diet.

Lemonade juice

You can have just one full lemon per day. Add this to your water or as a flavor enhancer to your foods. You can also use lemon as an alternative to the high-calorie dressings of your salad.

Water
