Drinking Water on the HCG Diet

Drinking plenty of water is essential and we all heard about it before. This isn’t new but in HCG diet it is important to know how much water drink,  whether you are drinking too much or not enough.  Yes, when it comes to drinking water it is possible to overdo it and it is life-threatening.

Here are some tips to help you drink the right amount of water while on the HCG Diet.

#1 Drink water throughout the day and not all at once

Drinking tons and tons of water could actually be unsafe and life-threatening especially if you are going to drink it all at once.  Your kidney can process about 700-800 ml of liquid in an hour. So, it’s never a good idea to chug down a gallon of water in 20 minutes. It could be quite taxing on your kidney and can cause electrolyte imbalance. In Dr. Simeons original protocol, he recommends a minimum of 2 liters a day.

#2 Thirsty and not hungry

Sometimes you think you are hungry while on the protocol, you are actually thirsty. Drink enough liquids before you eat something. Try hot tea with stevia and see if you are still hungry after drinking tea.

#3 How to know if you had enough water?

Check your pee each morning. There should be plenty of it.  It should be pale or almost clear in color unless you are taking vitamins. Then the color would be bright yellow. If your urine is dark in color even without you taking any vitamins you can be dehydrated. The darker the color, the more water you should drink.

#4 Check your weight

Your daily weight can actually tell you a lot about your hydration status. A quick jump on your scale can be the result of higher salt which causes your body to retain water. A good example is when you eat 3 slices of pizza and a beer. The next morning, you see a quick jump on your scale, your face feels swollen and your rings won’t budge. This is because your body had retained water to make up for all those sodium you took in.

Apple day: Is it for a cheat and stall?

Maybe not this round or the next and hopefully not in any other rounds. But chances are, somewhere along the way you make mistakes. And now what? Should you start- over hcg injections or stop because you cheated? Or, do a stall breaker to fix a cheat?

A lot of times HCG dieters want to do an Apple day when they’ve cheated. You don’t have to do this. When you cheat you should not use an Apple day to fix an issue.  Because Apple days aren’t for cheats. They are for stalls. The primary purpose of Apple day is to help the body break a natural weight loss plateau. Dr. Simeons found out that by consuming a lot of apples and limiting your water intake for a day you can break your weight loss plateau.

Unfortunately, Apple day has been mistaken for a quick fix for cheating. Well, this is not a good idea. Whether it’s a small-time cheat like eating a taco one afternoon or a big time cheat like binging on a plate full of party foods during a wedding, Apple day is not the answer. If you have gained some weight out from cheating would you consider eating something high in sugar and carbs?

Consider this one, the amount of carb and sugar in 4-6 apples are more than what’s allowed on your VLCD day. During an Apple day, your body consumes a lot of sugar and carbs than your normal VLCD. Say for example you eat six medium size apples. You will be consuming around 115 grams of sugar and about 124 grams of net carb. During your normal very low calorie diet, you consume only 38 grams of net carbs and 32 grams of sugar. That’s a big difference, right?

So, technically, an Apple day will not fix your cheat. Eating nothing but all sugar and carbs will not help you get back on track. There are other ways to fix a cheat.

Should you Cheat on your VLCD or Not?

Are you trying to consider a cheat day on your HCG diet if the protocol wouldn’t going to be that easy for you? Well, you can because you certainly can recover after cheating. However, if you really want to lose the most weight possible DO NOT CHEAT. Cheating even just for one day during your VLCD can cause your weight loss to stall.

Avoid cheating. If you are in danger of cheating there are ways that you can do to help yourself and stay within your calorie limit. Keep in mind that the VLCD is only temporary. Before you knew it, you’ll be in Phase 3 and you can eat more.

#1. Eat more vegetables

When you are hungry and you are tempted to cheat, cheat on vegetables. DO NOT eat foods that are not HCG approved. You will gain some additional calories but it wouldn’t be that bad as trying to eat foods that aren’t approved on the list. So, go ahead and help yourself. After getting through the day go back to your 500 calorie hcg diet.

#2. Drink plenty of water along with eating more veggies

Increasing your water intake helps decrease your hunger. Drink at least half gallon each day. Don’t drink too quickly instead drink it steadily throughout the day.

#3. During Phase 2 avoid eating at restaurant

Avoid eating at a restaurant when you are in your very low calorie diet. Restaurant won’t offer you a meal that would fit all your HCG requirements. With just one ingredient in your meal that isn’t HCG approved it can throw your weight loss off. Stick to your cooking throughout your VLCD.

#4. Avoid eating unapproved foods

Never resort to eating unapproved HCG foods no matter how hungry you are. If you really can’t help it just stick to HCG approved foods. You’ll be gaining 100-150 more calories but it won’t set you back that far compared when you’ll totally break the protocol.

#5. Slightly increase your protein intake

Increasing your vegetable intake can help suppress your appetite. But if you are really struggling then try to increase your protein intake. Eat slightly more protein for a day then go back to your normal protocol the following day.

#6. Cheating can make your weight loss more difficult

Cheating can make your diet even more difficult. Because when you cheat and stall you are required to do a plateau breaker like an Apple day or a Steak day. You will find yourself guilty too. Worst, it can make you want to cheat more.

6 Things To Do After Cheating on the HCG Diet Phase 2

Cheating on HCG diet isn’t the end of everything. If you mess up and eat something you shouldn’t, don’t give up. It’s not too late to get back on the protocol. Stop cheating as soon as you catch it. Don’t let it spiral out of control.

Your next move after cheating is very critical to ensure that you will not stall.

Here are 6 things that you should do after you cheat during your phase 2.

  1. Drink plenty of water

What you have gained during your cheat day was actually water weight and not fats. Drink plenty of water to flush out those excess salts from your body. Stay hydrated so you don’t retain any more water.

  1. Exercise slightly more than usual

Do some light exercise for 2-3 days to help you offset your calorie gained from cheating. Instead of doing the usual 15-30 minute walk, you can increase it to 40-60 minutes. After few days you can resume your regular routine.

  1. Stay positive

Cheating during phase 2 will not make you a total failure.  Stay positive and don’t take it as a sign that you can’t do it.

  1. Don’t panic

Cheating is not the end as long as you will get back. So don’t panic. This is how the HCG hormone works.  Its ability to metabolize fats is amazing. However, the hormone won’t do its work if you cheat multiple times during your hcg diet. Remember, the only way to lose a maximum amount of weight is never to cheat.

  1. Check your weight gain and look for plateaus

Check your weight for any gain. Some of your weight gains are mostly due to a higher salt intake. Track these changes and log in your hcg diet journal. Again, if your weight has STALLED, try an Apple day or Steak day.

  1. Don’t over-correct

Trying everything all at once to get the cheat weight off is not the best strategy. Post-cheat blunder includes:

  • Doubling up on your dose

You will just run out of injections if you will double your hcg dosage. Yet the effect will still be the same.

  • Skipping meals

Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and you won’t likely to lose weight the next day.

  • Doing an Apple day right away

Actually, Apple days aren’t for cheats. They are for stalls. DO NOT do an Apple day unless your weight has stalled for 4 days. Most, important do not double up on stall breaking remedies like doing an Apple day and Steak day at the same time. Doing two stall breakers can send your body off into a shock. Your body just needs to get back into your usual hcg diet routine after cheating. Eventually, your weight gain will come off. And if it doesn’t and your weight has stayed the same for 4 days that’s the time you will do a stall breaker.

Eating Organic Food on HCG Diet

Dr. Simeons original protocol does not require HCG dieters to eat all organic foods. But thanks to Kevin Trudeau’s book “The Weight Loss Cure”, organic food has become a popular addition to the diet. He expanded the protocol to account issues about modern toxins that were not present during the time Dr.  Simeons conducted his research. According to him, “processed foods are designed by manufacturers to make you fat”.

Why is organic food better on the HCG Diet?

  • Eating organic while on Phase 2 of HCG diet will prevent you from:
  • Cancer-causing pesticides
  • Chemical additives and fertilizers
  • Growth hormones
  • Animal antibiotics and medications
  • GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organism)
  • Health risk from Mad Cow Disease
  • Eating organic food on Phase 2 of your diet can detoxify your body. It allows your body to flush out toxins from eating unhealthy processed foods. This, in turn, assists your body in the reduction of weight and fat.
  • Organic foods are fresher and don’t contain preservatives.
  • Achieve optimum result when combined with HCG.
  • Organic food reduces your health risk from the harmful cancer-causing pesticides, chemicals and fertilizers.
  • Organic foods do not contain chemicals that can interact with the ability of HCG hormone to target the abnormal fats.
  • You will get 50% more vitamins, minerals and other nutrients when you eat organic foods.
  • Going organic is actually giving your body a break from all those additives. This prevents the toxins from building up while your body adjusts to the changes. Thus improving the metabolic process and a greater chance of success.

You can be successful in the hcg protocol without going totally organic. But eating organic food may be beneficial as well. If you can prioritize eating an antibiotic-free and hormone-free meat and organic fruits and vegetables then do so. It can be more expensive but it is your health that is more important. Why take the risk if you can avoid it? If you can’t afford to buy organic meat, try buying some organic fruits and vegetables instead. It’s a good start and a good way to improve your diet experience too.
