HCG Diet Food- Following A Very Low Calorie Diet

Managing one’s food intake is one of the hardest things to do for anyone on a diet, and it is even more disparaging with the ones involved on the HCG diet protocol. It is very challenging, especially when there’s always delicious food around. But if you have enough self-control and if you strictly follow the 500-calorie per day diet regimen, then you are most likely to be successful in your final goal and obtain at least the 1-3 pounds average weight loss that you were aiming for. The possibility for you to achieve at least 20-30 pounds in a 21-day diet is very tightly attached to intelligent control on the HCG diet allowed foods.

The HCG diet has three phases. One must strictly follow these phases to lose the one pound daily goal. (1) The Loading Phase is a two-day weight loss therapy where users have to eat high calorie food. One must take in as much food as he or she can because these abnormal fat reserves will aid the body in the low calorie diet days. 10-15 drops of HCG is required, 3 times a day. (2) The Maintenance phase stretches from 21 to 40 days, depending on one’s weight goal. It is in this phase where one is introduced to the 500-calorie diet (VLDC), a main aspect in this hormonal therapy. One must be on the VLDC, along with 10-15 drops of HCG, 3 times a day for about 3-5 weeks. VLCD is designed for use with standard range of HCG as this breaks the abnormal fat located in different body parts. HCG burns the abnormal fat on the chin, thighs, hips, arms and abdomen, and release energy into the blood stream ranging from 1500 to 4000 calories. This additional bulk energy coupled with the 500 calories taken in will reset one’s metabolism and melts the excessive fat from the body which will naturally cause the body to slim down in just a few days. Sugar, starch and fried food are prohibited in this phase. There will be no hunger pangs as the body is getting adequate calorie supply from the abnormal fat banks mentioned earlier. (3) The Stabilization phase is the final phase where one can skip the drops. A transition from VLCD to a controlled diet is recommended with moderate calorie restriction. Sugar and starch consumption is still not advisable in order to maintain a stable weight. The advised daily fat intake should be around 800 calories for women and 1,000 for men.

The HCG Diet is the extraordinary incorporation of 10 to 15 drops of the HCG hormone and 500-calorie meal consumption. The main goal of this weight loss plan is to maintain a very low calorie diet throughout the duration so it is important to stick to the VLDC (Very Low Calorie Diet) menu for an effective and consistent weight loss. HCG alone cannot cause one to lose weight; it has to be accompanied with VLCD to achieve the proper results.
