HCG Diet: Best Carb Option for Maintenance Phase

The ultimate way in choosing the best carb option for maintenance phase is to choose the right kind of carbohydrate in the right portion size and ratio. You have to be sure also that you eat plenty of vegetables and moderate serving of fruits each day.

Having the right combination and a balance of foods will make you maintain your weight effortless and in a natural way.

Best carb options:

1. Fruits and vegetables

The absolute best carbs to eat to maintain your weight effortlessly are fruits and veggies. You got it right- fruits and veggies. They are nutrient dense and carb loaded. Eating varieties of veggies and fruits are one of the best ways to maintain your weight. It will be easier for you to maintain your weight when your body is receiving the highest quality of nutrition. Remember to eat plenty of green leafy. The darker the dolor they are the more natural antioxidant they contain.

2. Organic whole food

Choose whole unprocessed foods. Unprocessed and organic carb food contains all natural nutrients and fibers. It is packed with everything that you need for maintaining your weight. As much as possible, avoid foods that are genetically modified or GMO’s. Consuming only organically grown food is one of the best ways to ensure you are not getting toxic substances in your body.

3. Gluten-free

Gluten-free diet keeps you away from celiac disease and other medical conditions associated with gluten. One way to help you keep your weight off is to avoid using gluten products. Following a gluten-free diet requires you to pay careful attention to the ingredient of the foods you are eating and their nutritional content. Fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, non-processed meat, fish, and low-fat dairy products are naturally gluten-free. Wheat, rye, barley and triticale are just some of the products with gluten. Processed foods with gluten that you have to avoid are bread, cereal, pasta, cookies, cakes, salad dressings and many more.

4. High fiber foods

Fibers naturally decrease the net carbs from many of your favorite high carb foods. Foods high in fiber are veggies and fruits. Be sure that you drink plenty of water when you decide to take fiber supplements like psyllium.

5. Brown rice, corn

Unprocessed corn, potatoes and brown rice are packed with healthful properties when eaten in moderation. They are even gluten-free. They are rich in fibers and are a good source of vitamin, lutein, magnesium, potassium and trace minerals.

6. Quinoa

Quinoa is high in protein compared with other grains. It contains essential amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, fiber, magnesium and potassium.

7. Nuts

Nuts are one of the best carb options in maintaining weight loss with HCG Diet. They are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Nuts are naturally balanced proteins.

8. Honey

Honey is a super food that you can eat in little or moderate amount. It’s the only sugar in our list of best carbs for HCG Diet maintenance phase.

 

After the HCG Diet

What to do, what to do after the HCG Diet?

Your round of HCG Diet is over and hopefully, you are living a happier and eating healthier now. Hopefully, you are now a much better example of vitality and health to those around you.

Some call this last phase of HCG Diet as Phase 4. No matter what the name is, what’s important is how you wrap things up when the diet is over.

Here’s what you can do once the hcg diet is over:

  1. Make it sure that you continue to weigh every day to make sure that you catch any usual sneaky gains.
  2. After the HCG Diet don’t fall back to your old habits like eating unhealthy foods and drinking soda.
  3. Eat real good foods like fruits and vegetable. Avoid processed foods. If you can’t read the ingredient label when at the grocery then don’t buy the foods.
  4. Drink plenty of water. Aim for at least 2 liters per day. Water will help you maintain your weight loss and your overall weight.
  5. Gym it up to help you toned your muscles.
  6. Your best friend is your scale. Your scale will help you maintain your weight loss. When your weight goes up, then it’s time for you to do the steak day.

Now if you still have more weight to lose you may do another round of the HCG Diet. However, you have to make it sure that you will observe the HCG Diet breaks in between rounds.

After all those hardships, reward yourself with these:

  1. Buy a brand new outfit that would really show off your new smaller body.
  2. Have a full spa day
  3. Buy something new for yourself.
  4. Go camping
  5. Get a full body massage
  6. Go out with your friends and have a healthy lunch

  8. Plan a trip somewhere warm like beaches so you can show off your weight loss success
  9. Have a weekend trip to the winery
  10.  Have fun

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.

Recognizing and Stopping Stress or Emotional Eating During the HCG Diet

Emotional Eating is the reason why so many diets fail. What is emotional eating? Emotional eating is also known as stress eating is eating foods in order to satisfy your emotional needs and to make you feel better rather than satisfying your hunger.

We sometimes turn to foods if we are stressed or cope with an unpleasant emotion when on the HCG Diet like loneliness, sadness or even boredom. We find ourselves reaching for a pint of ice cream when we’re bored or down, order a pizza from our favorite pizza parlor or swing by the drive-thru after a very stressful day at work. After eating, we feel even worse because the reason why we stress eat still remains plus we feel guilty for overeating.

Using food as a reward is not bad at all. But when you turn to foods as your primary emotional coping mechanism is an unhealthy habit. It’s NOT either acceptable when you are on the HCG Diet. Remember that emotional hunger can’t be filled with food. You may feel good while you are eating but after that, the feeling that caused you to stress eat still remains.

You might not have control over foods but there are certainly ways to change your unhealthy habit into a healthier one.  You just need to find healthier ways to deal with your emotions and eat mindfully so you can regain control over your weight and finally put a stop to emotional eating.

Emotional Hunger Versus Physical hunger

Emotional Hunger:

  • It’s overwhelming and urgent. It hits you in an instant.
  • You crave for sugary snacks and junk foods like cakes, ice cream and pizza. These foods will provide you with an instant rush.
  • You feel that your hunger is a craving that you can’t get it out from your mind. You focus on a specific taste. Textures and smells.
  • You want more even after you eat. You eat mindlessly. You do not pay attention to what and how much you eat.
  • You don’t become full.

Physical Hunger:

  • It comes gradually. Your urge to eat doesn’t demand an instant action unless you haven’t eaten the whole day.
  • Almost all foods sound good including vegetables
  • When you are physically hungry you are aware of what you eat and how much you eat.
  • You can actually hear your stomach belly growl.

 

Trouble Shooting Weight Gain during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet: Reasons Why You are Gaining Weight

Weight gain at the start of your phase 3 is just normal. Anyway, you have that 2-pounds range to follow but there are times that you just can’t stay within the 2-pounds range and went above the rule for several reasons. Ask yourself these questions:

Are you stabilizing your weight the correct way?

Some dieter often made mistakes with their last day weight or LDW. Your LDW is not the weight on the scale during your first day of Phase 3 of the HCG Diet. Your LDW is the morning weight of your last day of injection, your LAST dose. This is the weight that you will try to stay within the 2-pounds range. After the last injection, you still have 3 days of consuming only a very low amount of calories. During this time, most still lose a good amount of weight, so when they start their phase 3, they are actually under their LDW. You can still lose around 1 to 3 pounds. Now for a couple of days on P3, you might gain back some 2 to 3 pounds even if you are doing the diet right. But do not worry, as long as you are doing the diet correctly, your weight won’t continue to shoot up to your original weight.

Did you eat fruits and carb portion during P2?

Removing fruits and carbs during Phase 2 can dramatically cause your body to lose so much weight. And for some reason, removing fruits and carbs on P2 reduces cravings however NO fruits or carbs means you will have to stabilize your weight at a higher rate. Why?

You won’t be able to apply the 2 pounds rule in this type of situation. Here’s why:

Removing fruits and carb during P2 can make your diet super low. Your body will end up tapping into the stored glycogen in your body and it’s going to use this stored glycogen as a source of energy. These stored glycogens are basically just sugar and water stored in your liver and muscles. It is NOT fat. Your body may tend to hold a certain amount of water and sugar when on its normal state. Going fruitless on P2 then transition to P3 will naturally refill the loose glycogen and will quickly store this as soon as possible- causing weight gain.
