Being conscious of what you eat is very vital especially if you are on the HCG diet. You should avoid high-calorie and high-fat foods so you can achieve your weight loss goal. The sugar calories from carbs can truly affect how you gain weight so you better be careful with what you eat-even healthy foods.  Some healthy foods can make you fat because they are high in sugar, calories and fat like fruits, salads, nuts, and yogurt that is why serving size matters.

The foods mentioned below are some of the surprising foods that high in fat and calories:

  1. Dried Fruit – Dried fruits are real fruits that have water taken out. It contains five to eight times more calories and sugar than fresh fruits. Eat dried fruit cautiously as a garnish, not a snack. Eat fresh fruits if possible.
  1. Avocado – This fruit is considered as “super food” because it is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. But avocado is high in fat and calorically dense.
  1. Nuts – Nuts are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and Vitamin E. However, they are also high in calories.
  1. Red Wine – People drink wine to reduce the risk of heart diseases, certain types of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and even weight gain. However, too much consumption is not advisable.

Maintain Your Weight Loss after the HCG Diet

Studies show that 95% of all diets fail. Those who lose weight eventually regain it back but double from the previous weight. Some diets have so many restrictions making it difficult to maintain. Moreover, many dieters do not have the right mentality before starting a diet. Maintaining weight loss takes a different method than losing weight.

The following are some ways on how to maintain weight loss after the HCG diet:

  1. Change lifestyle into a sustainable one – Avoid too much restriction in the diet. Be consistent and make healthy choices. Some dieters fail in maintaining their weight after doing the HCG diet because they fail to make a lifestyle change.
  1. Exercise mindful eating – Mindful eating means listening to your appetite signs and paying full attention on your eating process. It involves eating slowly without disruptions, and chewing food thoroughly. Distraction while eating may end up overeating because you cannot recognize whether you’re full or not.
  1. Be consistent – Stick to the new healthy diet and lifestyle. Avoid on-and-off dieting that may lead to old habits. Consistency is a way to keep your weight off.
  1. Eat more vegetables after your HCG diet – Vegetables are rich in fiber and low in calories. Vegetables can increase your feeling of being full.
  1. Track your food intake – Tracking your food helps enhance the awareness and provides vital information on the calories consumed.
  1. Find a sustenance system – A sustenance system can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Find a partner who can do the diet with you. This can help you in maintaining your weight loss.
  1. Control your stress levels – Managing stress is very important in controlling your weight. Stress can make you regain back your weight because of an increasing amount of cortisol hormone. Stress can lead to impulsive eating. Impulsive eating is eating more even if not hungry.
  1. Have enough sleep – Sleep can affect your weigh. Inadequate sleep increases your hunger hormone known as ghrelin that increases appetite.
  1. Be hydrated always after your HCG diets – Being hydrated promotes fullness. It helps keep calorie intake low. Drinking water increases metabolism and the number of calories you burn each day.
  1. Be prepared for setbacks – Setbacks are inevitable during the P3 of the HCG diet. There are times you crave and skip some workouts so be prepared. You can overcome setbacks by planning ahead.
  1. Lift weights – Lifting weights at least twice a week can help you maintain your weight loss. Lifting weight can stabilize your muscle mass so you can have a healthy metabolism.
  1. Limiting carb intake – Being conscious with your carb intake makes the P3 of the HCG diet easier. Avoid carb-rich foods like white bread, white pasta and fruit juices. Limiting your carb intake may help you prevent weight regain.
  1. Weighing regularly – Monitoring your weight regularly can serve as an awareness of progress. At the same time, it encourages weight control behaviors.
  1. Eat more protein after your HCG diet– Protein can help reduce appetite, increases metabolism, and promote fullness. Eating foods rich in protein may help maintain your weight after the HCG diet.
  1. Eat breakfast and exercise every day – Eating breakfast helps in having a healthier habit.

Carb Options on HCG Diet

An HCG weight loss plan combines HCG hormone and a very strict diet plan. The plan allows you to limit your intake of calorie to 500 calories a day. The food options are limited. You are allowed to have a serving of protein, fruits, veggies and a very small portion of carbohydrate on the HCG Diet. The proteins are mostly consists of leaner meat such as chicken, turkey and fish.

During your very low calorie diet, you are to cut out all forms of sugar and starches. This includes bread, cereals and pasta because of their high starch content. However, there are two carb options that you can have during your 500 calorie diet. These are the Grissini Breadstick and the Melba toast.

  • Melba Toast– You can have a serving of this carb for both lunch and dinner during your VLCD. You can have it as a snack option between meals. One serving of Melba toast contains 3 pieces of toast. Each serving will give you a total of 60 calories with only 13 grams of carb. Well, that’s very low compared to other carb alternatives. There are a lot of flavors of Melba toast But be careful because some melba toast contains more sugar than other. Always remember that when you are on HCG, your body is extremely sensitive to sugar.
  • Grissini Breadstick– This is another carb option that Dr. Simeons incorporated into the hcg diet to satisfy your body’s need to chew aside from the crunchy Melba toast. You can have one breadstick for your lunch and one for your dinner each day. Like the Melba toast, Grissini breadstick also comes in a variety of flavors that are quite delicious.

Melba toast or Grissini Breadstick?

It’s a matter of personal preferences. What’s important is that you’ll watch your consumption of these two carb choices. A huge number of hcg dieters who have tried both of these carb options preferred the breadstick over the toast. The protocol calls for two servings of carb per day. That’s one carb option per meal. You can have one toast for one meal and one breadstick for the other meal. If you want, you can use them to mimic croutons over your salad or top them with your chicken.

HCG Diet and Menstrual Cycle

One of the most frequently asked question regarding HCG diet is whether a woman should continue having her HCG shots during a menstrual cycle. HCG diet has become more and more popular so this kind of question often comes up. This is definitely worth discussing.

From Dr. Simeons manuscript, NO injections are given during menstruation. He points out that woman should stop having their shot of HCG during their period. During the NO HCG day, you will still continue with your 500 calorie diet. However, as soon as your period is over you have to resume with your HCG at once. If you try to go without HCG after your period is over you may start feeling very hungry.

The reason behind why Dr. Simeon suggests stopping HCG during your period is that it induces water retention. Your weight loss will slow down due to the water retention. But don’t panic and don’t get discouraged. Most of all DO NOT cheat because this will lead to a true stall, worst a weight gain. Remember that this is completely normal. As soon as your period is over your extra weight will just come off.

Dr. Simeons also recommends starting with your HCG diet after your last day of the menstrual period. If you’re doing the 46 day protocol, you will still continue with the NO SHOT day every week. This is in addition to your NO SHOTS during your period. The “no shot” a week is to prevent immunity. It has nothing to do with your menstrual cycle. However, this rule does not apply if you are doing the shorter round of 23 days and that you have started with your HCG diet after your last day of the menstrual period. You are free to do the diet without any interruptions unless you are doing the longer round. Most dieters stopped having their shot of HCG only on their heaviest flow. That’s about 1-2 days and I think it’s a reasonable approach to do. Some continue injecting through their period while others stopped for the full duration of their period.

Skipping 1 Injection A Week

I know how much you wanted to get to the finish line and lose all those pounds away for good. However, when doing the diet, there is a protocol that you must follow. There are two options that you can choose for the length of time on HCG. The first is the 26 day protocol where you’ll need 23 hcg injections. The other is the 46 day protocol in which, you’ll need at least 40 hcg injections to complete the round.

When doing the 46 day protocol, Dr. Simeons suggests you skip one injection once a week. This is to prevent immunity which can make the HCG ineffective. Immunity is usually experienced if more than 23 injections are given in a row.

From Dr. Simeons protocol, “Patients who need only 23 injections may be injected daily, including Sundays, as they never develop immunity. In those that take 40 injections the onset of immunity can be delayed if they are given only six injections a week, leaving out Sundays or any other day they choose, provided that it is always the same day.”

The skipped day should always be on the same day every week. Say you skip an injection on Sunday for week 1. You should then continue skipping your shot every Sunday until you finish all the 40 injections. During your skipped day, you will still continue with your 500 calorie diet. Therefore you’ll be on the very low calorie diet for a longer period of time. You can actually go about 46-48 days on P2 alone. Check this article out about when to do the 46 day protocol.

But don’t worry about being hungry. You will get through the day without difficulty because HCG remains in your body for 3 days. It is not just as potent as when you are taking your shot every day. Most dieters don’t encounter any issues like delayed weight loss and hunger when skipping an injection. Another advantage is that you’ll get an extra five days to follow the protocol. That means to say you’ll get an extra five days to lose weight.
