Bad Habits that Stops You from Losing Weight on the HCG Diet

Old habits can be hard to break and everyone has them. We all pass by drive-thru for a breakfast or lunch. We all enjoy a midnight snack while watching our favorite late-night show. Nobody is perfect. I’ve been there too.

There are good habits during weight loss but there are also habits that prevent you from losing weight. You might not be aware that you have them but your bad habits are preventing you from attaining your goal. No matter how hard you try you don’t seem to be able to lose weight. Luckily, you can change your bad habits though it can take extra effort it’s possible with the HCG Diet.

The HCG Diet can effectively make you lose abnormal fats when you religiously follow the protocol. However, this diet is very sensitive to every action that even the slightest mistake can greatly affect your overall results. It’s a fast weight loss program proven to help obese people lose weight without spending too much money and energy. It works naturally in the body in burning all those unhealthy stored fats without burning your muscles. However, no matter how fast this diet works, your weight loss will halt due to many reasons and one of them is your bad habits.

What are the bad habits that prevent you from losing weight on the HCG Diet?

Having an unhealthy lifestyle can be a big disaster especially if you’re on the diet. Unhealthy lifestyle includes:

  1. Overeating– can sabotage your weight loss. The reason why you are cutting down on your calories is to help your body shift from your old habits.

What to do:

Break this habit by counting your calories. Eat only the right kind and the right amount of foods. Eat your foods at a slower pace to give time to your brain to process the signal of fullness.

  1. Eating too quickly– can often lead to overeating and weight gains. Remember that it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to process the signal of fullness. So, if you eat a quick meal for only 5 minutes, you may still be hungry and would react by having another portion or a dessert which can lead to weight gain.

What to do:

Slow down your eating pace. See to it that you chew your foods well so you won’t have indigestion. Drink enough water too.

  1. Skipping breakfast- Morning breakfast is busy and fast-paced for many dieters and skipping breakfast seems an easy way to save time. However, your body needs fuel in the morning to kick start your metabolism even on the HCG Diet.

What to do:

Make a replacement shake if time is your issue. Replacement shakes are quick, easy and tasty. It’s loaded with the necessary nutrients to help kick-start your metabolism. It’s full of antioxidants too. 

  1. Eating too much junk food ­–Junk foods which include all sort of processed foods are loaded with chemicals. When you habitually eat them your liver is forced to work harder than usual to remove all the toxins you are ingesting. Since your liver is very busy handling over the extra workload, it won’t be very effective enough to do its other job like regulating your body’s metabolism. Your liver won’t be able to process as many calories as it can lead you to store extra fats.

What to do:

Break this habit by eating healthy and unprocessed foods. Stay away from junk food that’s making you fat.

  1. Missing meals– Contrary to what many people think, eating less will not lead to weight loss. Failing to eat an adequate amount of foods even on the HCG Diet will cause your body to slow down its metabolism. Your body will think it’s going into a starvation mode. So, when it’s time for you to eat, your body will store most of it as fats in preparation for the starvation mode.

What to do:

Break the habit by spacing your meal evenly out into 5 or 6 smaller meals. As much as possible, stick to a low-calorie diet that will leave your body satisfied after a meal time.

  1. Not getting enough sleep- Not getting enough sleep can lead to a series of events that aren’t conducive to losing weight. Here are the reasons why:
  1. It’s harder for the body to process carbohydrates which will raise the blood sugar and insulin levels. The excess sugar and insulin can lead to an increased fat storage especially around your waist.
  2. It will leave you tired all day which will likely affect your judgment and opt for a quick burst of energy from sugary foods over healthier ones.

What to do:

Break this habit by eating active during the day and make sure you’re tired by night so you can go to bed earlier. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night. 

  1. Consuming too much alcohol-Too much consumption of alcohol can cause a weight-loss stall. Alcoholic beverages like wines and beers are loaded with calories. This means that it’s the last thing that you want to grab when trying to lose weight. A can of beer typically contains 150 calories. Alcoholic beverages have more calories than carbohydrates or proteins. So, there’s no such thing as a low-calorie alcohol.

What to do:

Break this habit by drinking less and avoiding places where alcohol is the main offering.

  1. Emotional eating– Anger, sadness, frustrated and loneliness are just a few of the many emotions that make you turn to foods for comfort. However, filling the void with foods won’t last. You’ll eventually find yourself back to where you are and soon begin to the vicious cycle again. Emotional eating is a bad habit that you should break to achieve maximum weight loss during the HCG Diet.

What to do:

Break this habit by using other coping strategies when emotions start to take over. Be active by going for a walk, cleaning the house, call a friend or try some yoga.

  1. Forgetting your diet at restaurants– Sometimes you forget that you are on a diet when you are at your favorite restaurant or maybe you temporarily ignore them. Just because you are at a restaurant doesn’t mean that you can pick the naughtiest choice in the menu.

What to do:

Break this habit by making a wise decision when it comes in choosing restaurant. As much as possible, check their menu online first before going. Choose the one that fits for HCG Diet and when you are there, never order for a menu unplanned so you won’t get derailed from your diet.

When you recognize your bad habit it would be easier for you to break them. As the saying goes,” it only takes 21 days to break a habit”.

How to Tighten a Loose Skin after the HCG Diet?

Finding a perfect weight loss plan that syncs with your lifestyle is a step away from achieving a great look. Now you are ready to shed all those extra pounds that you’ve been carrying for years. Just one problem- as you are losing weight you may notice that your skin isn’t bouncing back. The same surface area that covers your new, smaller self now lags on your belly and arms. Your face can even seem a bit slack.

Why our skin does this?

The issue of loose skin starts when you start to gain weight. The skin is the largest human organ that is comprised of protein elastin and collagen. The protein elastin and collagen give your skin its firm strength and elasticity. It helps your skin stretch when you gain weight without tearing it. Weight gain will cause your skin to over inflate like a balloon.

Your skin, as an elastic organ, stretches and contracts to form with the shape of your body. Your skin surface area increases in size to accommodate the new fat tissue deposits below your skin. However, over time and with increased weight gain, the protein fibers become weak and damaged. Your skin may not be able to snap back to its original smaller shape when you lose weight too quickly due to the weakening of the fiber. This leads to saggy, excess skin during weight loss. However, the amount of saggy skin that remains after a diet varies by individual. Not all dieters’ skin sags after losing weight. It depends on several factors such as age, genetics, total muscle mass and total weight gain. The more weight you’ll lose the more difficult it would be for your skin to snap back to its original smaller shape. Some dieters have a massive amount of loose skin that only surgery can fix.

Let’s take a look at the anatomy of the skin and its surrounding area…

There are two layers of tissue underneath the skin: The adipose tissue (fat) and the muscle tissue directly beneath the fat tissue. Both the fat and the muscle tissue push up against the adjacent layer of the skin making it relatively taut before you start to lose weight. When you lose weight and burn those fat cells, your fat cell shrinks but your skin surface area still retains. The space under the larger surface area now lags and may seem to sag because there is less tissue underneath your skin taking up space. Your skin now sags.

Ways to tighten loose skin after the HCG Diet

The first rule is not to panic. Having loose skin after losing weight happens to anyone and is normal. Having a sagging skin after losing weight, in fact, is one of the most common problems that almost all dieters experience. Your skin is a living organ so keep in mind that your skin will slowly return to a shape that fits your body. However, that process may seem to take too long, at least a year or two. Here are steps that you can do to make your skin tighten more quickly:

  • Lose weight at a healthy pace

Losing weight at a healthy pace allows you to retain more muscle tissue while keeping your skin tight since your muscle acts as a supportive tissue that holds your skin onto your body.

  • Choose a healthy weight loss program like the HCG Diet

The HCG Diet is one of the BEST diets and weight loss program available. One of the biggest factors of the HCG hormone is its effect on the skin.

The hormone helps promote your skin elasticity so it would be able to stretch and quickly snap back to its normal state just like pregnant women do after giving birth. The HCG diet can provide a great contour to your body if done correctly. Most dieters who took their plunge into this diet have dropped their weight and seemed to be shrinking everywhere including their skin no matter how much weight they have to lose. You can only achieve a dramatic weight loss with an amazing body contouring through the HCG Diet.

  • Build muscle mass

Muscle tissue is the key to minimize loose skin. If a muscle mass is lost in addition to fats due to the wrong weight loss program, it creates an even larger void under your skin surface. There are several ways that you can do to help increase your muscle tissue after losing weight with the HCG Diet.

  • Strength training exercise– helps decrease the appearance of loose skin; allows you to maintain more muscle mass; build muscle if you’re new to strength training
  • Hypertrophy training or muscle building training– increases the overall volume and size of the muscle; allows the skin to cling tighter to the underlying tissue (toned and tight muscle helps give your skin a strong foundation to rest on)
  • Keeping your protein intake high– protein helps build muscles; protein prevents the loss of lean mass during the very low calorie diet of HCG
  • Tighten up with exercise

Exercise is prohibited during the HCG Diet except for those light ones. However, when your protocol complete, mild training and toning can be very beneficial in improving muscle tone. Toned and firm muscle can improve the texture and the look of your skin as well as preventing it from sagging.

  • Stay hydrated

Healthy skin is hydrated skin. So see to it that you are drinking enough amount of water during and after dieting to keep your skin supple, soft and to promote skin elasticity.

  • Have a healthy balanced diet

Your skin needs elastin and collagen to keep it firm, plump and improve its elasticity. To do this you need to protein-rich foods such as milk, cottage cheese, beans, tofu, nuts, seeds and fish. These foods contain elastin and collagen forming component and oils to make your skin healthy. Fresh fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, will not only make you healthy in the inside but will also keep your skin healthy on the outside.

The Importance of Sleep on the HCG Diet

Can’t sleep on the HCG Diet? Why?

As the saying goes, “Sleep more, weight less” is true. The amount of sleep you get directly affects your diet. When you are short of sleep, you tend to weight more. You also have more trouble losing weight than those who get enough sleep and even on the same diet. When you aren’t sleeping, your body cooked up a perfect recipe for weight gain. You are tempted to go for a large latte just to get you moving or skip your daily routine exercise because you are too tired to do anything. You are even too lazy to cook for your meal so you ended up getting takeout for dinner and turn to another latte because you are uncomfortably full.

There are certain things that you should do when trying to lose weight. You give up on junk foods, soda and anything loaded with sugar and carbs. You increase your veggie and fruit intake, you hit the gym regularly (during Phase 3) but what you don’t realize is that getting enough sleep is a very important part of the HCG Diet protocol.

Here’s what will happen if you will not get enough sleep:

  1. When you don’t get enough sleep your body produces too much hunger causing hormones ghrelin and leptin. This can make you more susceptible to overeat and feel less satisfied afterward. When the leptin hormone in your body is low it will stimulate hunger.
  2. Your glucose and insulin level spike similar to those who are diabetic because your fat cells lose its ability to make use of insulin properly. As your body becomes used to insulin, more and more insulin will be produced to function. This leads to fat buildup and eventually could lead to diabetes. Your insulin sensitivity will drop by more than 30% and this can make you feel metabolically groggy.
  3. Less amount of sleep prompts you to eat a bigger portion of food all the time which can make you gain weight. You will likely to crave for energy-dense, high-carbohydrate foods.
  4. Less sleep can slow down your metabolism. Too little sleep can trigger the cortisol hormone which signals your body to conserve energy to fuel your waking hours. Studies have shown that when you cut back on sleep, the amount of weight you lost from fat will drop by 55%. You will feel hungrier and less satisfies after a meal. When cortisol hormone is elevated, it stimulates your body for more sugar cravings plus it makes your body retain more water causing a stall on your weight.
  5. Lack of sleep can make you stressed out making it difficult for you to control your appetite. Once your body is sleep-deprived, more cortisol hormone is produced. This stress hormone triggers the reward center of your brain which can make you crave for more food. The combination of more ghrelin and more cortisol makes you eat more foods that you normally do in to feel satisfied.
  6. Lack of sleep equals more salty and sugary foods which will make you less likely to say no to unhealthy treats. Exhaustion from not getting enough sleep reduces your mental clarity and judgement so you are more likely to reach for donuts on your way to your office when you’d normally have a piece of fruit.
  7. Your decision making with food choices is poor. Without enough sleep, you choose quick and easy food options and sad to say these food options are not HCG Diet-friendly. When you get enough sleep, the hormones in your body will function better and therefore, you will make better food choices.
  8. Lack of sleep can impact your gym time during the maintenance phase of the HCG diet. You feel exhausted so you are much more likely to skip the gym but a decent night sleep will help you do more the next day. When you sleep you produce more growth hormones which will help you burn fats, repair and build muscle tissue, increase your strength and lose more weight the next day. Sleep will keep you energized and motivated through your workout.

Can’t sleep on the HCG diet?

The number reason why you find it difficult to get a good sleep while on the HCG Diet is due to your elevated cortisol hormone. Cortisol is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands and one of its main functions is to increase your glucose, protein and fat flow out of your body. It tends to rise in the morning when you are awake. It’s also released once you’re physically or emotional stress.

Another reason why you can’t sleep well is due to messed up melatonin. Melatonin is a sleep hormone produced by the pineal gland. This sleep hormone allows your body to wake up when it’s time to wake up and sleep when it’s time to sleep. Your body will normally make more melatonin at night and drops in the morning when the sun goes up.

Ways to sleep better

Sleep is just as important as taking in water, nutrient-rich food, and exercise. Here are ways to help you get better sleep:

  1. Do not drink coffee late at night. The caffeine in your coffee can stay elevated in your blood for 6 to 8 hours.
  2. Sleep and wake at consistent times so your melatonin won’t mess up. Irregular sleep pattern can mess up your melatonin and alter your circadian rhythm.
  3. Take melatonin supplement to help you sleep better. The recommended dosage is 2 mg before bedtime to help you fall asleep faster and help improve the quality of your sleep.
  4. Optimize your bedroom environment so you can get a good night sleep. These include external noise, temperature, external light, and furniture arrangement.
  5. Do not eat late in the evening because this can negatively impact the natural release of melatonin and HGH hormone and the quality of your sleep.
  6. Relax and clear your mind before going to bed. These are pre-sleep routine to help you fall asleep faster and improved the quality of your sleep.
  7. Get a comfortable bed, pillow and mattress because bed quality can also affect sleep. Though extremely subjective a good quality of the bed, mattress, and pillow can enhance sleep while poor-quality of beddings can cause lower-back pains.
  8. Exercise regularly but not before bedtime. Exercise can enhance all aspect of sleep but doing it late at night can cause sleep problems.
