Alcohol and the HCG Diet

Alcohol is not recommended while you are on HCG diet. In fact, Dr. Simeons does mention about it in his manuscript. “If no carbohydrates whatsoever are eaten, fats can be indulged in somewhat more liberally and even small quantities of alcohol, such as a glass of wine with meals does no harm. But as soon as fats and starch are combined things are very liable to get out of hand”.

Reasons why you should avoid alcohol

#1 Alcohol is high in calories

One reason why you should avoid drinking alcoholic beverages is that alcohol is basically high in calories. It may add too many calories to your hcg diet. Not only it is extremely high in calories (which contain about 7 calories per gram for beer), over-consumption can be taxing to your liver too.

#2 Alcohols can stimulate your appetite

Alcohol can stimulate your appetite making your portion control difficult. At the same time making you hungrier. Being hungry and less able to control yourself is even more dangerous.

#3 Drinking alcohol is accompanied by eating bad snacks

Alcohol can make you want to eat bad snacks that are not allowed on HCG diet. Examples of bad snacks are salty and fatty foods.

#4 Decreased metabolism

Alcohol can stop your body from burning fats. Instead of your regular meal intake, your body will use the alcohol as a source of fuel. As this will happen, the protein and carbs from the foods you ate will turn into fats.

#5 Alcohol cause poor sleep

A small amount of alcohol can make you sleepy. But too much can cause poor sleeping. Thus, contributing to weight gain.

The good thing is, HCG diet does not only control your cravings for food. It also controls your craving for alcoholic beverages.

Normally, alcohol is not advised when you are on HCG diet. However, will it caused you harm if you will drink one or two shots of vodka or whiskey during an office party? If there are cheat days for foods, you can have your weekly share of alcohol as well. It’s a matter of choosing the right kind of alcohol and consuming them in moderation.

Reduce Cravings During Phase 2 of HCG Diet

HCG Phase 2 is where your weight loss takes place. This is the hardest yet the most challenging and most exciting phase of the HCG Diet plan.  This phase really works but you have to put an extra effort too into making it work.

During Phase 2, you are on a very low-calorie diet usually 500-700 calories per day. You might find yourself very hungry at first. You might also crave for foods that are not listed among the allowable foods on your diet. However, there are ways that can help you stay on track. All it takes is your willpower and some tips from us.

Number 1- Eat foods that are lower in calories

You should never go over your 500 calories hcg diet when you eat low-calorie foods. Veggies are best examples- lettuce are mostly water. You can virtually eat as much lettuce as you want. Toss it with a bit of onion, asparagus and some vinegar instead of salad dressings. Salads can keep you full for a long time and will help you stay on track.

Number 2- Drink extra water

Water can make your belly feel full even when there isn’t anything in there. Drinking more water with every meal can make you get full faster. But don’t overdo it. Check this article for some tips to help you drink the right amount of water on HCG diet.

Number 3- Drink lots of tea

Tea is an appetite suppressant. It is allowed in HCG Diet. Just make it sure you drink a plain tea with NO sugar and honey.

Number 4- Spread out your calorie intake

Eating all of your 500 calories in the first few hours of the day will make you hungrier later. So spread out your calorie intake. It’s better for you to eat a smaller amount throughout the day so that your stomach isn’t as empty for so long.

Eat something small every few hours. When you get up, eat an apple. When you start feeling hungry eat an actual breakfast from the list of approved HCG diet foods. Then a couple of hours later eat a light snack followed by light lunch. When you follow this pattern, you can break the 500 calories into five tiny meals.

Number 5- Eat something when you’re truly hungry

If you feel like you are starving, eat something from the approved list. Just make sure what you are eating is low calorie. Apple, lettuce salad or even a cucumber works well. It’s better to go slightly above 500 calorie limit as long as it is an approved HCG food rather than to cheat.

Cheating on an HCG Apple Day

An Apple day is performed when your weight loss has stayed the same for several days on Phase 2 of your HCG diet. This is also known as HCG stall. Some like to call it as HCG plateau. Plateaus or stalls can be irritating. And it does happen during Phase 2 of HCG diet. It is mainly caused by simply not following Dr. Simeons protocol completely. But the most common reason behind plateaus or stall is CHEATING.

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. Check this out Cheat day, what’s Next? If you find out that your weight loss stall few days after cheating then that’s the time you can do an Apple day.
