Not Losing Weight on The HCG Diet: Why?

Losing weight might sound like an impossible task. You work out, you watch your calories, and still, you seem not to lose weight. You often ask, “Why can’t I lose weight?” There can be a lot of reasons for that question.

Reasons why you’re not losing weight

Health conditions: Before you take a plunge into any kind of diet, you need to rule out first your medical conditions. Certain medical conditions can make losing weight much difficult.

  • Hyperthyroidism/ hypothyroidism can both affect your metabolism, making you feel hungrier more often and causing weight gain.
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is linked with hormonal abnormalities. PCOS can make it difficult for the body to use insulin causing insulin build-up in the bloodstream. High levels of insulin increase androgen hormone leading to weight gain typically in the abdomen.

If you’re sure that you are not affected by any one of the conditions mention, then there could only be one reason why you can’t lose weight. You can’t lose weight because you are HUNGRY.

Hunger is the source of all failed weight loss attempts. When a diet fails it’s because you have cheated. When you fail, most of the time you will regain 95% of all weight that you have lost. Some even gained back more.

Why do you feel hungry?

When you get that rumbling feeling, you know it’s time to grab a bite to eat. What makes you hungry? What exactly causes the feeling? Hunger tells your body that you need to eat to keep your body fueled. The feeling you get from being hungry happens because of these two chemicals being released in your body.

  • Ghrelin: It’s a hormone produced by your body that signals your brain to eat. High levels of ghrelin make you feel hungry. When you are full, the ghrelin hormone drops. 
  • Leptin: This hormone is pretty much the opposite of ghrelin. Too much leptin means fewer hunger feelings. Low levels of leptin can leave you feeling hungry and craving for everything and anything.

When on low-calorie restrictions, your ghrelin hormone increases while your leptin hormone decreases. This makes you feel hungry and can lead you to cheat. However, this is not the case with the HCG Diet.

Hungry on the HCG Diet

The HCG Diet, again, is scientifically designed to help you lose weight faster without making you feel hungry during the diet. HCG injections will tap your brain’s hypothalamus so it can send a chemical signals unto the adipose tissues where fat reserved are kept to be used as an alternative source of energy. This helps keep you going even if you are on a very low calorie.

Hunger and craving are surprisingly not an issue on the HCG Diet. When you follow the protocol and implement it to the best of your ability you won’t feel hungry. The HCG Diet is designed to help you lose weight safely and the fastest amount of weight possible. You will find that you can half a pound to two pounds each day. Occasionally, there are times when you feel hungry even though you have followed the protocol. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Increase or decrease the amount of HCG:

The minimum daily hcg injections dosage to inject is 125IU while the maximum dose is 200IU. If you are hungry on the 125IU, you can increase your dose to 150IU or 175IU, whichever you are comfortable with. If you have started using 150IU and you’re hungry, either lower your dose or increase. Men can have higher doses like 200IU due to how much they eat while menopausal women’s dose can drop as low as 75IU

  • Make sure to drink plenty of water

Use water to suppress your hunger. Drinking tons of it is very helpful for controlling your hunger.  When you drink water, your stomach stays fuller. The recommended amount is half a gallon to one gallon a day. Teas and coffee work well as an appetite suppressant as the caffeine helps control your appetite naturally.

  • Spread your foods throughout the day

Some dieters need to eat more frequently. You can break your two meals into 4 divided small meals a day. You can also break up your fruit intake. Instead of eating during your meal, you can eat the fruit options during snack time. It’s definitely worth a shot to experiment with different methods.

  • You eat your vegetables

If you have tried everything but you are still hungry, increase your veggie servings a little bit. You can eat green veggies in an unlimited number but try limiting the tomatoes and onion as they can cause a stall to some dieters. Soups and salads are great options. Greens like spinach, lettuce, and chard are very low in calories.

  • Extra bite of protein

Aside from veggie options, you can also have an extra bite of protein. Protein has a satiating quality that leaves you more satisfied and full for a longer time than other foods. 

 

Using HCG when Dieting

Losing weight with the HCG Diet without the HCG hormone is not really a great idea. Your diet will not likely be effective and you will likely experience unwanted results. In fact, surviving only on 500 calories a day without the hormone could be dangerous.

Very Low Calorie Diet Without HCG

A very low calorie diet is a diet where you restrict your body from eating less than 800 calories a day. A lot of dieters have tried losing weight by restricting their calorie intake. Some of which are successful but at the expense of their health. You have to keep in mind that restricting your calorie intake too severely without any weight loss aid such as the human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG can be very dangerous.

Here’s what happens to your body on a very low calorie diet without the HCG:

  1. You constantly feel hungry: Your body’s response to low-calorie intake is to look for food. When you cut back on calories you are naturally going to fend off cravings all day. Not only that but it’s also not going to help you lose weight. It might even work against you.
  2. Your body’s metabolism will be decreased by 30%:  Fewer calorie intakes can cause your metabolism to slow down. The number of calories your body will burn decreases by 23% but this lower metabolism can persist even after your diet. This explains why many dieters regained their weight back once they go off their calorie-restricted diet.
  3. Loss of muscle mass: Loss of muscle mass happens when your metabolism slows down due to a restricted-calorie diet. Your body begins seeking out new means of acquiring energy by harvesting the muscle tissue instead of the food source. With the hormone in your system, your body will utilize the stored fats as a source of fuel rather than burning your muscle mass.
  4. Energy drop resulting in fatigue: When your body is in an extreme calorie reduction diet your energy drops which will result in fatigue. Your body and brain need calories to function properly but when you cut them low, it will be harder for you to keep your focus.
  5. Bone loss from calorie reduction: Weight loss as a result of very low calorie restriction sometimes goes hand in hand with bone loss. When you are on a restricted-calorie diet often don’t get enough calcium and vitamins necessary your bones healthy.
  6. Headache: One unwanted side effect of a very low calorie intake is a headache. Just like with fatigue, headache is caused by low blood sugar supply in your bloodstream.
  7. Lower your immune system: Restricting your calorie intake may lower your immune system. As a result, you are more at risk of infections and illnesses. A lower immune system is due to nutrient deficiencies from a restricted-calorie diet. When you are not eating enough, you don’t get enough nutrients to sustain your body cells. With the HCG diet, you follow a specific meal plan with a specific set of foods on each phase. This diet will assure that you will obtain a sufficient amount of important vitamins and minerals needed to keep your body cells functioning.

The benefits of HCG injection

The use of HCG injection during the very low calorie phase of the HCG Diet has proven to make the diet more tolerable by helping your body metabolize stored fats faster. Leaving the hormones out may not make the diet effective and may lead to undesirable effects. Below are some of the benefits you can get out from the HCG injection:

  1. The HCG will help your body metabolize abnormal fat faster: The hormone specifically targets the stored fats and helps your body focus on metabolizing the stored fats as a main source of fuel. Without the hormone, your body will burn muscle tissue rather than abnormal fats. The hormone will also make your diet much tolerable because the hormone will help your body break down fats more efficiently.
  2. The HCG reduces your hunger symptoms: Hunger symptoms are dramatically reduced when there is HCG in your system.  The HCG allows the hypothalamus of your brain easier access to control the breakdown of stored fats on your hips, thigh, arms and abdomen. The unwanted fats in these locations will be your body’s main source of fuel. As a result, you won’t feel hunger pains and fatigue. Many HCG dieters were able to complete multiple rounds without hunger symptoms and were able to lose the maximum amount of weight on each round.
  3. Increased energy and metabolic function: Cutting back on calorie along with injecting the hormone will result in increased energy and metabolic function. This happens because your body will release adipose fats and will turn it into a valuable source of energy. Because of the adipose fats, your body will speed up your metabolic rate.
  4. Healthy weight reduction and preserved muscle mass: You’ll be able to shed pounds on all the right places on your body avoiding unbalanced reduction. The hormone will also preserve your muscle mass as your body utilizes the adipose fats as a main source of fuel instead of muscle tissue.
  5. You will look and feel great: One reason why you want to shed unwanted fats is to look and feel great. Its great news though; you can achieve it by using the HCG Diet. At the end of each round, you will not only look good but you’ll also feel great overall.

Why do I Need HCG during the Very Low Calories Diet?

The human body is not designed to survive on such a very low calorie diet. When you try to lose weight quickly by cutting back on your calorie intake, your body will react by entering into a starvation mode. Your body will burn fewer calories to protect its fat storage. If you use the starvation diet when trying to achieve a faster weight loss, your body will only burn muscle mass first rather than abnormal fat. You will end up having a higher body fat ratio than before you start dieting because your muscle has been consumed and replaced with fat. However, this is not the case with the HCG Diet-a combination of a very low calorie diet with HCG injections.

Here’s what you need to know about the HCG Diet

 

The HCG diet is consists of a low calorie intake but with a human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG helper to help you lose weight faster. The use of HCG injection in the HCG Diet first came into use as a weight loss aid in the early 1950s. It was designed by a British physician in conjunction with a very low calorie diet. The human chorionic gonadotropin is produced in the placenta during pregnancy women. The HCG plays several roles in the fetal cycle and as s fertility support when given at high dosage.

Can I lose just as much weight without the HCG?

Medical experts indicate that the use of HCG without a strict diet restriction won’t give you the same result as you want. You won’t either be getting the result that you want when you do the very low calorie diet without the HCG in your system.

From the book Pounds and Inches, Dr. Simeon said “What so many investigators seem to overlook is that HCG as such has no weight-reducing action whatsoever, nor has this ever been claimed to be the case. In fact, those quite exceptional patients who have the willpower to stay on a 500 calorie diet for forty days without HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) often lose more weight than those who are receiving it, but they look drawn and haggard and regain their weight rapidly as soon as they stop dieting, because they have depleted normal fat reserves. The function of HCG is exclusively to make drastic reduction over a short period of time safe, comfortable and entirely confined to abnormal fat deposits.

Here is the total explanation of his passage if you don’t want to read it over and over again. You will surely lose weight in both however, the difference between the very calorie diet with and without the hormone is that:

Very low calorie diet WITH HCG

  • You will see drastic weight loss over a short time
  • It is safe and comfortably
  • Entirely confined to abnormal fat deposits

Very low calorie diet WITHOUT HCG

  • You are likely to lose more weight compared with having the hormone in your system (Of course you will lose because you only eat 500 calories a day!)
  • Only very few can survive doing the very low calorie diet without the HCG. Only those who are quite exceptional and with exceptional willpower
  • After the diet, you’ll look drawn and haggard as you only lose muscle mass and structural fat
  • You will regain weight quickly as soon as you stop dieting because of the depleted normal fat reserves.

It’s not really a good idea to try doing the HCG diet without the hormone. It’s not effective and you are more likely to experience many symptoms. On a recent large study conducted, dieters on a very low calorie diet without the hormone experiences:

  • Fatigue
  • Very low blood sugar
  • Constant hunger
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Marked reduction in physical activity
  • Marked weakness during physical activity
  • Being cold
  • Decreased metabolism by 30%
  • Decreased interest in sex

The HCG injection is proven to help your body metabolize fat faster and to make the low calorie diet more tolerable. Injecting the hormone is a very important part of the diet that cannot be left out without consequences. Here’s how the HCG hormone helps you lose weight faster:

  1. The hormone will help metabolize abnormal fat: Your body will metabolize abnormal fats when you inject HCG. The hormone specifically targets the abnormal fats so your body can metabolize it as a primary source of fuel. Without the HCG, your body will burn mostly your muscle mass, structural fat, and a little of unwanted fat. Several studies have found that HCG has a protective effect on muscle mass while you are losing weight.
  2. Reduce hunger symptoms: The very low calorie diet phase is just 3 to 6 weeks long but it can be quite a challenging attempt if you will do this without the hormone. The hormone will reduce hunger and fatigue symptoms during the very low calorie diet. It will make your diet more tolerable and easier to complete. Without the hormone, you’ll find it very difficult to go through the second phase.
  3. Prevents your body from undergoing starvation mode: The hormone will keep your muscle tissue lean and will keep the fat that protects your vital organs.
  4. Reduce headaches, cravings, and fatigue: The use of HCG reduces headaches, cravings and fatigue normally associated with a very low calorie diet. The hormone modulates the brain’s hypothalamic regulatory centers and resets the body’s metabolism.

What’s the bottom line?

  • Very low calorie diet with HCG will allow your body to metabolize stored fats and preserve lean muscle mass.
  • Very low calorie diet without the HCG will result in a sagging skin all because of losing lean muscle mass and its structural support.
  • Very low calorie diet without the HCG will not access stored fats in the hard to lose area thus weight loss will be seen in undesirable areas of your body such as the face, legs, lower arm, and heels.

 

Reasons Why Sugar is Not Good on the HCG Diet

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate present naturally in some foods and drinks. It’s also added in some foods and drinks. Unlike those that naturally occurring, added sugars provide no nutritional value. Added sugars are a poor source of energy as the body digest them very quickly.

Today, over-consumption of sugar is the number one cause of obesity. It’s loaded into the majority of processed foods and even on unsuspecting places like sauces, bread, frozen fruits and salad dressings. Sugar contributes to a whole host of negative health effect that’s why you should avoid them even if you are off the diet.

Here are 6 reasons why you should avoid sugar:

  1. Sugar can cause insulin resistance, diabetes and weight gain

Your body can become insulin resistant when there is an excess amount of sugar in your blood. This stops your pancreas from doing its job properly which can lead to diabetes. Excess amount of insulin in the blood also signals your body to store fats which can lead to obesity. In addition, most sugary drinks and foods are high in calories. Too much consumption will only make you gain weight even with regular exercise.

  • Sugar is an empty calorie

Ice cream, cakes, pastries and soda are high-sugar foods that almost all people love to eat. However, all these are just empty calories with no nutrient value. If you eat a lot of these foods, you won’t be getting the right nutrient your body needs to stave off illness and diseases.

  • It’s addictive

Sugar is addictive that when you eat sugar-rich food it causes a dopamine release in the brain. Dopamine is a feel-good chemical, the same one that’s activated by prohibited drugs. In fact, sugar is not only addictive but even more rewarding and attractive to the brain, making it difficult for you to stop eating once you’ve started consuming them.

  • Sugar can cause cancer

Cancer loves sugar. High sugar intake increases your risk from colon cancer, breast cancer and other cancers. Sugar causes your body to produce excessive insulin which encourages the growth of cancer cells.

  • Sugar can make you age prematurely

Sugar can cause damages to collagen and elastin production which causes premature aging. It attaches to proteins in your bloodstream which results in an advanced glycation end product.

  • Sugar may increase your risk of heart disease

High sugar intake can lower the good cholesterol and increases the bad cholesterol and triglycerides in your body which increases your risk of heart diseases.

How much sugar should you eat?

Cutting out all forms of sugar in your diet may seem next to impossible but at least try to do them especially when you are on the very low calorie diet. You may start incorporating back sugar slowly into your diet during phase 3 of the HCG Diet. The recommended amount of sugar for women must be less than 100 calories, that’s about 24 grams or 6 teaspoons. The recommended amount of sugar for men is 150 calories, about 36 grams or 9 teaspoons.

Stick with naturally occurring sugar like those found in fruits and vegetables. Sugar from these form won’t do damages to your body unlike the processed one.

 

HCG Diet and Vitamin Supplements

HCG Diet is scientifically planned that vitamin supplements are no longer necessary. Below is an excerpt from Dr. Simons Pounds and Inches manuscript:

“Sooner or later most patients express a fear that they may be running out of vitamins or that the restricted diet may make them anemic. On this score the physician can confidently relieve their apprehension by explaining that every time they lose a pound of fatty tissue, which they do almost daily, only the actual fat is burned up; all the vitamins, the proteins, the blood, and the minerals which this tissue contains in abundance are fed back into the body. Actually, a low blood count not due to any serious disorder of the blood forming tissues improves during treatment, and we have never encountered a significant protein deficiency nor signs of a lack of vitamins in patients who are dieting regularly”.

Fat loss can feed the body

This means that your body is getting enough nutrition from your stored fats and the foods that you are eating. You can only resume taking vitamin supplements once your diet with HCG is done. The main reason for this is that sometimes, vitamin supplements contain additional sugars, oils, starches and calories in it which can waylay your weight loss.

Increased energy level

However, there are times that HCG dieters require dietary supplements due to poor health conditions. You may do so but we recommend that you consult first with your physician. You may take vitamin B12 or B-complex supplements to help boosts your energy level. This will also keep your nervous system, skin, hair and nails healthy. It also aids in good digestions.

Other than vitamin B12, you may also take vitamin C, D and calcium ONLY when needed. Be sure that it’s non-oily and non-capsule with no other added ingredients. Avoid oily supplements like fish oil and non-fat soluble vitamins. The best source of vitamin D is the sun, so lather up some oil-free sunscreen and get a bit of sunshine. Dark leafy vegetables like kale and spinach are packed with calcium. Oranges are packed with vitamin C. Regardless of whether you are taking vitamin supplements or not, the best and most efficient way to get all the necessary vitamins you need during the HCG diet is through eating a healthy diet loaded with whole natural foods.
