Reasons Why Sugar is Not Good on the HCG Diet

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate present naturally in some foods and drinks. It’s also added in some foods and drinks. Unlike those that naturally occurring, added sugars provide no nutritional value. Added sugars are a poor source of energy as the body digest them very quickly.

Today, over-consumption of sugar is the number one cause of obesity. It’s loaded into the majority of processed foods and even on unsuspecting places like sauces, bread, frozen fruits and salad dressings. Sugar contributes to a whole host of negative health effect that’s why you should avoid them even if you are off the diet.

Here are 6 reasons why you should avoid sugar:

  1. Sugar can cause insulin resistance, diabetes and weight gain

Your body can become insulin resistant when there is an excess amount of sugar in your blood. This stops your pancreas from doing its job properly which can lead to diabetes. Excess amount of insulin in the blood also signals your body to store fats which can lead to obesity. In addition, most sugary drinks and foods are high in calories. Too much consumption will only make you gain weight even with regular exercise.

  • Sugar is an empty calorie

Ice cream, cakes, pastries and soda are high-sugar foods that almost all people love to eat. However, all these are just empty calories with no nutrient value. If you eat a lot of these foods, you won’t be getting the right nutrient your body needs to stave off illness and diseases.

  • It’s addictive

Sugar is addictive that when you eat sugar-rich food it causes a dopamine release in the brain. Dopamine is a feel-good chemical, the same one that’s activated by prohibited drugs. In fact, sugar is not only addictive but even more rewarding and attractive to the brain, making it difficult for you to stop eating once you’ve started consuming them.

  • Sugar can cause cancer

Cancer loves sugar. High sugar intake increases your risk from colon cancer, breast cancer and other cancers. Sugar causes your body to produce excessive insulin which encourages the growth of cancer cells.

  • Sugar can make you age prematurely

Sugar can cause damages to collagen and elastin production which causes premature aging. It attaches to proteins in your bloodstream which results in an advanced glycation end product.

  • Sugar may increase your risk of heart disease

High sugar intake can lower the good cholesterol and increases the bad cholesterol and triglycerides in your body which increases your risk of heart diseases.

How much sugar should you eat?

Cutting out all forms of sugar in your diet may seem next to impossible but at least try to do them especially when you are on the very low calorie diet. You may start incorporating back sugar slowly into your diet during phase 3 of the HCG Diet. The recommended amount of sugar for women must be less than 100 calories, that’s about 24 grams or 6 teaspoons. The recommended amount of sugar for men is 150 calories, about 36 grams or 9 teaspoons.

Stick with naturally occurring sugar like those found in fruits and vegetables. Sugar from these form won’t do damages to your body unlike the processed one.

Sweet Tooth Cravings on the HCG Diet

We all crave for foods. We crave for carbs, salty, savory rich foods and sweets like chocolate. An occasional indulgence is necessary but not on the HCG Diet. There is no room for cravings on the HCG Diet protocol, especially for sweet treats. If sugar is brought into the second and third phase of the HCG Diet, weight loss is not possible. Any forms of sugar are not welcome except for those found on the allowable fruits and vegetables.

Dealing with sweet tooth cravings

Your first line of defense for your cravings is to figure out if the craving is physiological or behavioral. Often times it’s behavioral that it’ll take time for you to make adjustments. It can be tough to let go but you have to in order to lose as much weight as possible.  It can take 2 to 3 weeks for your body to adjust to a new eating habit but research shows that it’ll only take 5 days of being sugar-free so you can reduce your cravings. Here are ways for you to deal with sweet tooth cravings:

  1. Visualize how to handle temptation. Visualize how to decline deserts at gatherings or walk away from donuts at the office or the vending machine at the hallway. Temptations can pull you down and hinder you from losing weight.
  2. Keep your blood sugar level under control. This can prevent spikes making your sugar cravings unbearable.  Eat protein-rich foods, healthy fat and carbohydrates a day. Avoid beverages and snacks loaded with sugar prior to beginning the diet. Without sugar in your system, your cravings won’t be as difficult to battle.
  3. Avoid starchy and sugar rich-foods prior to your diet. If your diet was high in sugar prior to loading days, you can expect to experience cravings.
  4. Spice up your meal with flavorful herbs like coriander, cloves and cardamom. These spices can eliminate the feeling of total deprivation.
  5. Use sugar substitute for your morning coffee like Stevia. A small amount of sugar alternative is permitted on the HCG Diet.
  6. You can break up your meal and use your fruit option when you crave for sugar. Breaking up your meals on the HCG diet is permitted. You can eat your fruit options as a mid-afternoon snack or as a late-night snack.
  7. Cravings usually last for 10 to 20 minutes whether it’s sugar or not. Knowing when your cravings will stop will help you overcome your desire for sweet treats.
  8. Distract yourself and do whatever it takes until your cravings ease up. Go out for a walk, call a friend or take a bath.

HCG Diet Detox Bath

One of the most popular things dieter do during the P2 of the HCG Diet is a detox bath. Taking a warm bath is a great way to relax your body, to wind down and perhaps get through a plateau.

What is an HCG Diet detox bath?

An HCG Diet is specifically designed for dieters who have hit a dreaded plateau for more than 3 days. Some choose to do the detox bath at the end of their diet before the P3 just to lose some more pounds.

A detox bath can help you take care of those pounds that refuse to budge along with Apple Day. Some dieters report that detox bath has helped them lost at least two pounds the next day; others find it may not work. Overall, detox bath will help you break a stall.  You can try it out and see how you do.

Hot Detox Bath

You need…

  • 1 cup of Epsom Salt (this is a very affordable product, and you can get a large bag for about $3)
  • 1 cup of Baking Soda
  • 1 cup of sea salt
  • Optional essentials (Fresh ginger root, lavender, thieves, cinnamon, eucalyptus, peppermint, etc…)

Epsom salt is made of magnesium sulfate. It promotes better circulation of blood, reduces inflammation as it aids in the absorption of nutrients. Epsom salt also helps remove toxins in the body. Baking soda helps in the detoxification process and doesn’t leave any residue behind. Essential oils ensure that you will steer clear of those filling your tub.

How to take a detox bath

  • Fill your bathtub with hot water (as hot as you can handle).
  • Add 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of Epsom salt and 1 cup of sea salt.
  • You may also add your choice of optional essentials
  • Get inside the tub and try to emerge as much of your body as possible. Stay in the tub for at least 20 minutes. You will notice that after a minute, you’ll start to sweat so you need to prepare an extra hand towel on the bath’s edge to wipe your face.

Tips to get the most of your bath

  • Stay in the tub for a minimum of 20 minutes. Take a cool shower for 5 minutes after the detox bath.
  • Get up from the tub slowly. A detox bath can make you feel dizzy.
  • To help you sweat a little more even after a bath wrap your body up in a towel before using the bathrobe.
  • Do the detox bath in the evening so you can have the best night sleep and woke up refreshed and energized.

The HCG Diet versus Any Other Diets

You probably tried a diet or two in your life. Perhaps a diet that you’ve heard from your workplace, relatives and even neighbor. Perhaps, you always kept a paper and pen with you to count the calories in all the foods you are eating.  You have succeeded, you’ve lost a little or maybe a lot but the problem starts to arise once you go back to your normal eating habits. Gaining the weight back after all those efforts is such a curse for most diet.

How a Normal Diet Works

According to Dr. Simeons, the original creator of the HCG Diet and author of Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity, when an obese person goes into a diet, the body burns first the normal fats before burning the structural fats. However, the abnormal body fat will only burn if the normal and the structural fats are already depleted. During this time, dieters will go back to normal eating due to hunger, weakness and fatigue resulting from the restrictive diet.

How HCG Diet Differs From Any Other Diets

The HCG Diet is one of the most popular diets in recent years. The HCG Diet, which uses the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, enables the body to lose the abnormal fats without compromising the normal and structural fats. The hormone unlocks the fat reserve so the body can use it as a source of fuel during the diet phases. Even though with only 500 calories intake a day, the body is consuming up to 4000 calories in abnormal fat. This makes hunger issues during the diet, not a big deal. If in case you become hungry, try to look back in your journal to see what went wrong. Maybe you ate or used something out of the protocol or maybe you are not using the right hcg injections dosage.

The HCG Diet is proven to work for the majority of dieters. Most dieters who complete a round of the HCG Diet without cheating and without altering the protocol up loses a significant amount of weight. Although it’s one of the diets with lots and lots of restriction, it’s by far one of the most effective diets.

The HCG Diet is faster than any other diet. You’ll start to see results real quick. You can lose up to 15 pounds in just three weeks or even up to 40 pounds in six weeks. Other diets won’t give you the same results. Once the diet is over, you can transition to a healthy eating lifestyle. From there, you can start improving your eating habits and avoid all those foods that are making you big.
