What Happens After You Lose Weight on the HCG Diet

There are tons of benefits that you can get from shedding those pounds build-up- from having a healthier heart to feeling better in a bikini! However, have you ever wonder what actually happens to your body once you lose weight?

Here, we will reveal some awesome, unexpected things will happen once you shrink in size.

What you already know:

  1. You may run a bit on the cooler side

A shift in your body’s weight can cause a fluctuation in your hormone. If you have just lost 10 percent of your body’s weight, your thyroid hormone levels decrease this can make you feel a bit chilly all the time. You might end up opening your thermostat at home and closing all the windows in when you live in cold places. So, keep your cardigan handy all the time and bask in the warm and fuzzy feeling you get from taking care of your body.

  1. You’ll need new beauty regimen

When you lose weight even 10 pounds, your skin sags creating wrinkles so you’ll need new beauty regimens to fight back all these changes and bring the youthful glow of your skin back. You can apply plumping creams with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic to help fill in the wrinkles or a moisturizer with dimethicone, a light-reflecting pigment to minimize fine lines.

  1. You need to go shopping

This is perhaps one of the things that every dieter looks forward to- shopping! You’ll be delighted to upgrade your wardrobe to show off your new svelte figure and footsies. Yes, including footwear. Unexpected, right? I know you are looking forward to shopping for heels which you have never used to wear because you are heavy. So, get yourself ready to hit the mall for a riding boot, an adorable new pair of strappy sandals or sexy heels. Or buy all three! Anyway, you deserve them all.

  1. People will notice you more

People around you will look at you differently. You’ll be receiving compliments left and right. People around you will smile at you more and will nod at you when they see you.

  1. Much easier daily task

Your daily task will be much easier as you could move around easily. You’ll have much more energy. There will be less strain on your joints because you have lost weight which can make it easier for you to move around. When you are overweight, you’ve experienced more wear and tear over time which can lead to not just joint pain but also osteoarthritis.

  1. Your lower back pain can go away

Reduced weight could reduce if not totally eliminate lower back pain. Your lower back is another weight-bearing area of your body. Being overweight can increase the strain in your lower back but when you lose weight, the strain in your lower back is significantly reduced.

  1. You’ll be much happier

You’ll be much happier when you lose weight not because you have a new wardrobe or your sex life has improved but the positive effects of weight loss on your sleep and mood are long-term.

  1. Your risk of breast cancer decreases

Overweight and obesity are linked to breast cancer but losing weight can decrease that risk. Fat is the primary storage for estrogen. That means to say the more fat you have the more estrogen may be stored. High estrogen and androgen levels are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. 

What you don’t know:

  1. You’ll be getting better sleep

Your health issues will improve once you started losing weight. The same goes for your sleep quality. You will sleep more soundly, snored less and will wake up in the morning feeling more rested and ready for the day.

  1. Your wrinkles are more noticeable

Your face narrows and shows more detail when you lose weight. Fine lines and wrinkles become more visible but you can hide them with the right beauty regimens. This happens because the extra fats hide them but as you lose body fats, fine lines and wrinkles become prominent.

  1. You become sexually active

Your slimming down can spice things up in bed. When you’re overweight, your cortisol or the stress hormone is very high which can lead to a decrease in sexual interest. However, when you are slimmed down you become more focus instead of holding back during intimacy. You wouldn’t have to worry that your butt is huge or your belly looks gross. Shedding just a few pounds can bring sexy back. You’ll become more confident than ever and that comes across the bedroom.

  1. You’ll find out who your real friends are

Your relationship with your friend may change as your body does. When you are overweight, your friends can become very supportive of your idea to lose weight but once you bring back the sexy in you, some may resent you or be jealous.

  1. It will be easier to get pregnant

Overweight and obese women find it difficult to become pregnant. Overweight and obesity are linked to reduced fertility, irregular periods and increased risk of miscarriage. But losing weight can improve the regularity of periods, hormonal profile, ovulation, and pregnancy rates.

  1. You’ll need fewer medications

Being obese or overweight is linked to several health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and many other health issues. Health issues are not only life-threatening but, they are quite expensive as you have to take medications daily but when you lose weight you can completely reverse the situation. You can stop taking medications and you won’t be spending much.

Portion Control on the HCG Diet

Whether you want to lose weight or just maintain a healthy weight, eating proper portions of foods is as important as eating the right kind of foods on the HCG Diet. For you to exercise better portion control you need to know the difference first between a potion and a serving.

Portion versus serving

Serving sizes and portion is often being mistaken and used interchangeably but there is actually a difference between the two. A portion is an amount that you choose to eat for a meal or actually eating. Portion control is limiting what you eat, of you being aware of how much food you are eating and what calories are in that serving. You can control the portion of foods you select at home but not in restaurants and other food establishments. Portion control plays an important role in keeping a healthy BMI reading.

A food serving, on the other hand, is the amount of each food that you are supposed to eat during a meal. It helps you understand how much is recommended from each food group.  For example one slice of bread or a cup of milk (240 ml).

The importance of better portion control on the HCG Diet

Better portion control is simply controlling your intake of calories. It is the first step towards achieving your goal weight and the first step in successful portion control is learning the correct serving sizes.

  • Promotes weight loss

Better portions control helps cut calories down and can shed unwanted pounds during the HCG Diet while larger portion can lead to increased calorie intake. So, be mindful of your portion sizes to lose the most amount of weight.

  • Better digestions

Portion control promotes better digestive system function. So, it’s best not to overload with the foods you are eating. Better portion control can help end bloating and cramping after eating.

  • Save money

You don’t have to buy as many groceries when you eat the recommended serving size and practice portion control.

  • Balanced blood sugar level

Imbalance blood sugar level is often due to overeating, particularly sugary foods. When you overeat unhealthy foods, you overload your body with glucose which can make your body resistance to insulin.  One way to help you control your blood sugar level is to practice portion control.

  • Improved satiety

Improve your satiety by eating slowly and better portion control. Eating too quickly can cause indigestion at the same time you are unable to pay attention to your hunger cues.

Portion sizes on the HCG Diet

  • Protein portion-Protein portion should exactly be 100 grams or 3.5 ounces. It must be weight raw at all times using precise measuring devices like the kitchen scale. If you will buy proteins weighing 300 grams, just divide it into 3 equal servings. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, I suggest you buy one. You can also use other everyday objects to measure the right portion size. One meat serving is equal to the palm of your hand or a deck of card. 100 grams of fish is the size of a checkbook.
  • Vegetable portion- The exact vegetable portion is 1 cup and 3 cups for spinach, beet greens, lettuce and chard. If you are not using a cup, just half fill your plate with leafy vegetables.
  • Fruit portion- The correct portion for apple and orange is a single serving, ½ of grapefruit and a handful of strawberries.

Tips for better portion control

With a little practice, portion control is easy to do. Portion control can help you lose the maximum amount of weight during the HCG Diet and maintain proper weight even after dieting. Here are some tips to keep your portions a healthy size.

  1. Know the calorie requirements during the HCG Diet

Knowing your caloric requirements is very essential because the HCG Diet is different from any other diets out there. Its protocol requires you to only 500 calories a day during the second phase with lots of food restriction.

  1. Use food scale and portion control dishes

You do not need only a kitchen scale on the HCG Diet. You need portion control dishes too to help you aid in limiting your intake of foods. Through these, you can track down the right amount of food intake in each meal. You can measure your protein potions accurately and ensure that you have an equal portion for each food choices.

  1. Track your progress

Being mindful with your portion keeps you on diet track. Track every single food you eat, Track your daily weigh-ins to help determine whether you are losing weight.

  1. Drink a glass of water first before you eat

Filling your belly with water before food will naturally make you less likely to overeat.

  1. Use smaller dishes

The use of smaller dishes can work wonders in reducing your portion size. Here you use smaller plates and bowls to trick your brain into thinking that you are eating more than you are.

  1. Repack foods into single-serving portions

Take some time to repack foods into single-serving portion so you won’t have to eat more than what is required.

  1. Stop eating when the portion is gone

Once you are done with your portion or when you are already full stop eating. Do not look for another portion on the table or you might end up overeating. If you still feel hungry, give yourself a little time to catch and feel full. Anyway, you won’t starve until your next meal.

  1. Limit mealtime distractions

Mealtime distraction can cause to consume more calories. So, put away your smartphones or turn off your televisions. If you are in the office, avoid taking your lunch on your desk while your eyes are busy on the computer screen.

  1. Wear fitting clothes

Fitting clothes can serve as a tool to prompt you to slow down your eating pace and assess how you feel during your meal. Sit back if you feel that your clothes are getting a bit snugger.

  1. Avoid eating on takeaway containers or boxes

Using boxes and takeaway containers can make you realize the actual quantity inside. Instead of using boxes and plastic containers, portion out your food serving on a plate to make you feel satisfied after the first serve.

How to Maintain your Weight Loss after the HCG Diet

Keeping the weight off can be as difficult as losing them but with the HCG Diet, keeping them off and maintaining them can be easier. If the scale starts to tip in the wrong direction, these simple tips will do the trick. These tips will help you make long-term weight management easier.

Maintain a healthy diet

Embrace a healthy and balanced diet plan that focuses on fruits, vegetables and lean protein. Again, the HCG Diet is like a ladder to healthier food choices and healthy eating. You can’t simply go back to your old eating habits if you want to keep the weight off for good. You need to make a long-term change. To remain healthy, you must eat healthy foods. You need to eat foods that give you better metabolism and more energy so you can exercise and even have the ability to lose more weight. Continue drinking plenty of water. Resume taking your vitamins and nutritional supplements. Eat high fiber foods every day. Boost your diet with omega 3 fatty acids. You can even have a glass of wine provided that you do not eat starchy foods.

Keep your stress level low

Stress is one of the major causes of weight gain that you often ignore. Stress can cause hormonal changes in your body which can lead to excessive eating, emotional eating and more. To avoid weight gain after the HCG Diet, keep your stress level minimal.

Get enough exercise

Exercise is vital but then again, there is no need for you to do a hardcore cross fit. Pick a physical exercise that you enjoy. Jogging, walking, stretching out, yoga and even housework are some of the activities that you can do to help you maintain your weight. Get at least 30 minutes of exercise 4 to 5 times a week. As you increase your exercise make it sure that you also monitor your calorie intake. Stay within the 2-pound range of your last day weight.

When you sense that you have added on further weight, you can go back to the maintenance phase of the HCG Diet to shed the excess weight before it gets to be an issue again. OR if you need to lose more pounds again, you can always do another round.

 

Identifying Your Emotional Eating Triggers

Common Causes of Stress Eating

  1. Stuffing down temporary uncomfortable feelings or emotions like loneliness, anger, fear, shame and resentment.
  2. Old habits, childhood habits such as receiving rewards like pizza or ice cream after behaving good can often be carried over to adulthood. It may also be brought by old memories like baking some cookies and cakes with your mom so you’re driven by cherished old memories.
  3. Boredom- You eat when you are bored or when you are feeling empty. Sometimes, the only way to keep you occupied is to eat. Eating can distract you from any underlying feelings of dissatisfaction with life.
  4. Stress- Chronis stress is chaotic. Chronis stress produces high levels of stress hormone called cortisol which triggers food cravings like sweet, salty and fried foods. These give you a burst of pleasure and energy. The more you are stressed, the more you turn into foods for relief.
  5. Social factor- Getting together with a bunch of people for a meal is a great way to help relieve stress. However, once you see them indulge with foods, you eat mindlessly too which can eventually lead to overeating. When you are nervous, you overeat too.

So, are you an emotional eater?

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you eat even though you are not hungry?
  • Do you eat even though you are already full?
  • Do you eat more when you are feeling stressed?
  • Do you eat just to feel better?
  • Do you get out of control when you are around with food?
  • Do foods make you feel safe and better?

If YES,

Then you are an emotional eater. What should you do?

  • When you are bored- watch your favourite TV show, read a book or do your hobby such as scrapbooking, playing an instrument.
  • When you are lonely or depressed- call a friend, talk to someone who can make you feel better. Play with your pet.
  • When you are exhausted- take a bath then have a nap. Delight yourself with a cup of hot tea.
  • When you are anxious-  dance to your favourite song, take a walk outside
  • Practice mindful eating- you develop awareness of eating habit. Mindful eating allows you to pause between your triggers and your actions. You will have control over the foods when the urge to eat hits you. You can resist temptations and you just don’t give up on foods so easily.

Stress and Weight Gain

HCG can help you lose weight when combined with a very low calorie diet. It resets your hypothalamus gland causing your body to use the “Abnormal Fats” as a source of energy. However, a high level of stress can interfere with this process. High level of stress can counteract the effects of the hormone causing your body to put on weight.

Unexpected Ways Stress Can Cause Weight Gain

  1. Stress decreases your metabolism. When you are stressed, your body reacts to stress by acting as if foods won’t be available in the future. This causes your metabolism and fat burning ability to slow down.
  2. Stress provides for a more fat storage. Your body assumes that there’s a lack of food so it begins to store fats.
  3. Stress can lead to an unhealthy craving. People who are always stressed become emotional eaters. This leads to relapses into addictions, excessive drinking of alcohol and food cravings.

Reasons for Keeping Stress Level Low on the HCG Diet

  1. Stress often leads to diarrhea, bloating, pain and constipation due to physiological effects.
  2. Stress can interfere with the HCG hormone causing an immune problem. This is because when you are stressed your body releases new hormone that interferes with the ones that you have injected.
  3. Stress can lead to bad eating habits.
  4. The HCG hormone could alter your blood pressure when you are stressed.
  5. High level of stress can cause severe skin disorder.

Some tips to help decrease stress while on the HCG Diet

  • Exercise: Exercise is a great way to decrease stress. It releases a certain hormone that can make you feel happy.
  • Eat only the approved HCG Diet foods: The HCG diet foods can make you feel more relaxed. Just be creative with coming up with different mouth-watering menus using only the approved HCG diet foods and spices.
  • Meditate: Meditation relaxes both your body and mind. So take a few minutes every day to sit and clear your mind.
  • Make time for yourself: NO matter how busy you are, make time for yourself. A few minutes of your time can make a huge difference in your ability to deal with your day.
  • Learn how to respond to stress positively.
  • Be happy. The very low calorie diet can be pretty tough and challenging. But if you will have an easier time if you can change your attitude. Be happy and positive all the time.
