This isn't your first rendezvous for the HCG Diet. You know what you're doing. But for some reason, every once in awhile your weight loss seems to slow or stall. And that is frustrating, even for an HCG Diet veterans like you and me.
Here are 4 things that may be ruining your HCG Diet:
Not Measuring
OK, let's be honest after our second or third week on the diet we lose interest in measuring everything we eat, at least I did. However, trust me when I say you need to measure, no matter what. The thing is, we think we know what a 100grams of meat looks like but it's easy to add an extra gram and sometimes even two. Those extra grams add up to extra calories and they can be slowing down your weight loss. So do it a night ahead or pack a food scale in your purse. This is one fine detail that when skipped adds up over time.
Over Compensating
Have you ever eaten something you were supposed to and thought, "I can fix this, I'll just do a Cali Kicker, some sit-ups, take green coffee, go for a walk, take my appetite control, and cut back on dinner." I'm guilty of that train of thought. But you don't need to freak out like that. Just get back on track at your next meal and let your body correct the problem itself. If you do too many quick fixes at once you'll confuse your body and the problem will only get worse.
Deviating from Protocol
I went through this phase where I was eating banana peppers because they are low-calorie and didn't have any oil, but the thing is they aren't on the original protocol for a reason and that reason is sodium. There are also a lot of other things that seem like they'd be fine but they aren't. For instance certain fruits like mango and watermelon are too high in sugar for the diet and can slow you down. Even unlisted veggies can cause problems. So simply put, if it's not on the approved foods list... don't eat it.
Skipping Calories
Toward the end of Phase 2, I have a hard time getting all of my 500 calories in. I know that sounds crazy because I'm not eating very much as it is, but the appetite suppressant in hCG Weight Loss Products are pretty powerful. So it's tempting to skip out on your fruit or veggies, but then your body (even though it doesn't feel hungry) goes into starvation mode and you stop losing weight. Eat all of the food you're suppose to eat.
And for those of you who aren't quite hCG vets, you may not have slipped into these bad habits yet, and that's good news. So take notes and make sure you never start. :)
