Losing Belly Fat with the HCG Diet

We all have belly fats even for people who have flat abs. Having belly fat is totally normal but too much of it is more than just a nuisance that makes your clothing feels tight. It’s even seriously harmful. It will affect how your body function as well as your overall outlook in life. Now, you may have dieted several times in the past in the hopes of losing the fat around your belly but the question is- were you able to do so?

There are certainly ways to reduce excess abdominal fats but to completely eliminate them can be hard. It’s because the fats around this tough area can be difficult to eliminate without the right weight loss program like the HCG Diet.

All About the Belly Fat

It all depends on the location of the fat. If you wake up in the morning with a big belly that jiggles like a bowl of jelly or soft to poke then you are safe. If you have the same big belly that is hard then you have fats inside your belly. Belly fats are responsible for almost all the medical problems associated with being overweight. These deeper fats that hide under your skin are visceral fats that provide cushion to your vital organs. However, too much of it you may be likely to get diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer.

The fats are all from the excess foods that you eat and that is stored away in the ever-enlarging fat cells mostly inside your belly and around your waist. Now if you gain too much weight, your body will start storing your fat in unusual places including the organs in your body and around your heart.

Your belly fat doesn’t just sit behind your abdominal skin. It makes a lot of nasty substances capable of producing dangerous and even life-threatening chemicals which can cause serious health problems like raising your blood pressure and injuring your blood vessels.

Here’s how the HCG Diet works in your belly fats

There are two key components of the HCG Diet: 500 calorie diet and HCG through injection or drops. The restricted food diet emphasizes calls for a very low amount of carbohydrates each day, proteins from lean meat, poultry and fishes, a modest amount of fruits and veggies. You typically inject the HCG hormone into your belly, thigh, or where you want fats to be eliminated.

The HCG hormone is an abdomen fat burner and a quick weight loss solution combined with a very low-calorie diet. The HCG Diet will help you lose around 1-2 pounds of stubborn fats a day from around problem areas like your thigh, upper arm, and stomach. The HCG hormone will prevent your body from going into starvation mode even when you consume a very low calorie each day.

Losing belly fats through dietary changes and exercise

  3. Eating high protein foods– High protein food increases the fullness hormone which in return decreases the appetite. Those who consume high protein foods tend to have less abdominal fat than those who do not consume high protein foods.
  4. Avoiding sugary foods– Refined sugar can lead to increased belly fat.
  5. Replace some cooking fat with coconut oil- Coconut oil is one of the healthiest fats you can eat. Coconut oil can help boost metabolism and decrease the amount of fat you store. Studies also show that consuming at least 2 tablespoons of coconut oil can reduce belly fats.
  6. Eat fish every week- Choose fatty fish for they are incredibly healthy. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that protect you from diseases. Studies also show that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce visceral fat among those with fatty liver disease.

  2. Resistance training– also known as strength training or weight lifting can be beneficial for belly fat loss aside from its importance in gaining muscle mass.

Eating Out Tips While on the HCG Diet

Eating out, having a buffet meal either on a local restaurant or on a cruise, a wedding or simply on vacation in a large hotel can ring the warning bell in every dieter’s brain, telling them the danger ahead. However, eating out is somewhat possible even if you are in the second or the third phase of the HCG Diet. It’s easier to do when you are in the maintenance phase than in the very low calorie phase but there are a lot of things that you must be aware of before you hop inside the restaurant to order for your meal or head straight into the buffet table to get your food. Remember that the more you take control of your meal when you are eating out, the greater is your chance of eating out without ruining your diet plans. Regular eating versus buffet/restaurant eating

  • Restaurant / buffet eating are expensive and it’s very easy to overeat. You tend to order a large variety and amount of foods or pick a great assortment of foods on the buffet table.
  • You don’t have time to feel full from eating the soup and salad before you look up for the main course at the buffet table. You can finish eating the entire meal in a matter of 20 minutes without feeling full. The best thing to do is to slow down as you don’t want to be done in 20 minutes.
  • It’s natural for you to overeat since it’s acceptable to pile for food on your plate just like what others are doing. You can eat all the foods you can eat with no restrictions on the portion size or the number of choices.

Tips on eating out while on the HCG Diet

  1. Learn the requirements of the HCG Diet

Take time to know what’s allowed and what’s not allowed on the HCG Diet so that if you will encounter menus while eating out you know what and what not to put on your plate. Most foods are prohibited during the second phase and you are limited only 5000 calories per day. So, there isn’t much that you can have on your P2 but if you are careful you might be able to get a chance or ordering a small salad or another HCG Diet friendly menu item.

  • Have a list of the HCG Diet friendly food

This can serve as your reference and it will be easier for you to look into your list if you aren’t sure what to order.

  • Find a table as far away from the buffet table

The further you are from the table the less likely you will go for a second or a third round.

  • Use small plates

Use the smallest plate possible and place only two choices at a time. It’s okay to go back for a second round but remember to put 2 choices only. Ear only those foods that you don’t get to eat often. Also start with something more filling like soup or salad.

Phase 2 eating out tips

  1. No fats allowed. Most meats cook on restaurant even if their HCG Diet friendly are cook in some sort of fat making eating out on P2 impossible. However, you can order grilled meat with side salads. Avoid mixing veggies too. Grilled meat options must be plain. Avoid using sauces and marinades but you can top it with salt, pepper and lemon.
  2. Stevia to the rescue. Carry a packet of Stevia with you to enjoy a cool lemon ice tea or a hot coffee or tea with your meal.
  3. Have sparkling mineral water. You can’t have soda but you can add some flavored stevia into your sparkling mineral water to make your own version of soda.

Phase 3 eating out tips

  1. No sauces and gravies. Many restaurants would serve sugary sauces and thickeners but you must avoid them at all cause as sauces and gravies can mess up with your diet.
  2. No starchy orders. Avoid starchy sides like potatoes and bread. Oder for more veggies instead and top them with lemon juice, salt, pepper, spices and butter.
  3. Healthy fats, oils and any proteins are accepted but you have to watch for sugary marinades
  4. Order for a salad or for fresh fruits for dessert as they are easier to order rather than a full meal. This way, it would be easier for the restaurant to accommodate you and you will get a lot of control over what ingredients are included. You can have a poached chicken with cabbage and a few seasonings as long as you are careful with the portion size of the chicken.
