On a rare occasion there is an individual who is highly motivated, has worked through their emotional issues with food, etc. More often than not though, despite wanting to be this special person, those who attempt rounds of weeks find themselves getting really burned out, cheating, and kind of flipping out when the diet is over because they stayed on too long and their will power and self control is totally shot.
This protocol, while efficient and amazing, is still a lot of hard manual labor in a way for your body. The breaks in general are really needed to give your body time to recover and stay stable. The breaks prevent you from developing chronic deficiences. My particular concern with these longer rounds and shorter breaks is the effect it can have on the Adrenal glands.
Adrenal fatigue is a very common condition these days, and being on a diet like this can indeed make the adrenals work harder than usual. I finished P2 four days ago and lost 20 pounds. Should I start adding Whole grain carbs, or maybe fats avocado, olives… I avoided all fats in P2.
Should I just eat as I did, but in bigger amounts? My first question: If i have to stay with calories a day, i weigh the veggies but if i stay with g per meal i can not reach the calorie count at all! If i increase the calorie count the weight also increase? For instance. So, i make a side salad, that weighs about g but the calorie count is not even 80 calories. Which one is then better to follow? Thei weight in total or the calorie count?
Please help. Im so confused and i dont have a support person in South Africa. Nice to meet you! Can an upcoming period cause no weight loss starting tomorrow or the day after I have been eating the same as the previous 2 weeks but today I had a gram hike in my weight. To make up calories, what should i increase on? I only get to about cal per day. Can that cause little weight loss maybe?
Can i increase by eating more Veggies or can I have more protein? By protein I mean Chicken breast meat. I do mix veggies to make up a salad consisting of Lettuce, tomato, cucumber or Gherkins, green pepper, spring onion, radishes and parsley.
Yes, it is quite normal to experience this due to water retention. What Rayzel does is she skip only days on her heaviest flow days- She felt too nervous to skip longer than that! Some continue injecting through their period, others stop for the full duration. Skipping days of heaviest flow is a reasonable approach.
You do continue to eat P2 foods without hCG. Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you. First of all, 9lbs in 11 days is amazing result! The average loss is 0. I also had Today is day 11 almost two weeks! I will say that on Easter, I did eat a smaller than bite size of cake and a small portion of mac and cheesy potatoes.
The next day, April 1st.. I didnt gain or lose. However, I have been stuck at Today with the exception haha of Easter I had two slices of salami. Not sure what tomorrow weight will bring. But, I feel stuck. The fruit as well. Should I expect anything to change weight wise or is this long of a stall…normal? Hey Stephanie! Is that right? When stalls happen and you are following the protocol I typically try to look at that big picture to get a better idea of things.
I have had some frustrating stalls from minor cheats like you mentioned as well which is a bummer I know. Are you getting enough sleep? Has anyone done hcg as the fat source while on keto? I see some posts about the fat fast but that is not what I am looking for. It stands to reason,to me, that since keto diet actually needs high fat to work and hcg releases fat into the blood stream that using hcg as the fat source would be like a magical combination of the two.
Any thoughts or experiences? Feel free to contact my e mail if that is appropriate. Hi there Richard! I hope that helps! There protocol is totally different from what I am use to doing. You can use lotions, the food choices are more, and they want you to use the mat oil. Will the weight loss be faster? Anyone tried this protocol? They do seem to have a pretty good track record, doing this online for 9 years now. Hi there. Going to start in a couple weeks.
For my morning coffee, can I substitute coconut oil for the milk? Thank you for reaching out to us. MCT oil not necessarily coconut oil- the MCT is the good stuff in there had absolutely no detrimental effects. I use it normally in maintenance in my coffee every day helps me stay in ketosis and great food for the brain , but during my recent protocol I used it the whole time. It only enhanced my fasting and fat loss. You body chemically does not recognize it as normal fat.
This worked magnificently! Thank you for sharing this Jenny! I continue to hear more positive feedback from those using coconut oil and MCT oil on the hCG protocol, which is really great news.
Hey Rayzel! You have been so helpful during my HCG preparation and journey! What are your thoughts on a LaCroix a day during phase 2? It is simply carbonated water and natural flavors. Do you have any experience with this? Thank you for your kind words. She loves hearing from her readers. La Croix, from looking at the ingredients that make up its natural flavors right on the website, it says that it has essential oils.
For most patients, just shaking the powder up with some water when hunger strikes can work great. I only recommend doing this once per day. If you want to make it a little more tasty, you can add some cinnamon to the water and powder. You can also add in some cocoa powder and some finely ground coffee to make a mocha flavored protein drink. If you decide to use a protein powder on the HCG Diet be sure that you use one of the brands mentioned above.

Successful eating plans need to be individualized and take the whole person into consideration.
Prior to starting a new diet plan, consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian, especially if you have an underlying health condition. HCG, which stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, is known as the pregnancy hormone since it is produced during pregnancy by the placenta.
The HCG diet, however, has very little to do with pregnancy. It is a controversial weight loss plan that combines illegal HCG supplements or hormone injections with an extremely low-calorie diet. The U. No HCG supplements may be legally sold in the United States for weight loss and the FDA has issued a warning about their safety and fraudulent weight-loss claims.
The HCG diet is marketed as leading to rapid, extreme weight loss, which may appeal to those who are looking to lose weight quickly. An early iteration of the diet began during the s when British endocrinologist Albert T.
Simeons became interested in using the HCG pregnancy hormone as a weight-loss aid. After observing undernourished pregnant women in India deliver healthy babies, Simeons theorized that the HCG hormone channeled the women's stored fat into energy for their children. He proposed, therefore, that the hormone could be used to promote weight loss in anyone. First, it called for an intake of just calories per day, spread between lunch and dinner, with unlimited amounts of water, coffee , and tea any time.
Divided into three phases, the diet is a short-term eating plan intended to help people lose dramatic amounts of weight in three to six weeks. Many HCG proponents claim the diet can cause weight loss of up to two pounds per day. While you may shed pounds quickly on the HCG diet, it is not recognized as safe by health experts.
Most experts agree that weight loss achieved on the HCG diet is due to extreme calorie restriction , not necessarily the HCG hormone itself. The HCG diet is highly unsafe, unhealthy, and illegal. This article should be used solely for informational purposes since health experts discourage anyone from trying it. There are many other weight loss options to consider that are much safer. Experts warn that you should steer clear of this diet. Not only is it extreme and unsustainable, but over-the-counter HCG products are illegal.
A typical HCG diet plan is divided into the following three phases:. During the brief "loading phase" of the HCG diet, there are no limitations on what or how much to eat. But once the weight loss phase begins, however, there are a number of foods the diet discourages—and only a few that are considered acceptable.
The HCG diet plan recommends eating either or calories spread over two meals per day. An intake of calories per day or lower is considered a very low calorie diet VLCD. It is not recommended to restrict one's calories to this level without being monitored by a healthcare professional. For breakfast, the diet recommends coffee or tea, which can be sweetened with stevia or saccharine. Since HCG also allows for one tablespoon of milk per day, some people elect to put it in their coffee at breakfast time.
The HCG diet requires no specific recipes, but many online resources offer suggestions for meal plans that stay within the calorie-per-day target. With calories divided between two meals a day, people on the HCG diet can expect to take in about calories at lunch and at dinner. While the calorie version of the HCG diet is the most well-known, the alternate calorie plan, generally credited to Dr.
Richard Lipman, MD. Lipman claims that his plan adheres to Dr. Proponents of the HCG diet have found the calorie version more satisfying but have experienced less dramatic weight loss. Research indicates that the HCG hormone does not work the way Dr. Simeons originally theorized. No studies have confirmed that it fuels weight loss. In fact, studies conducted on the diet reveal that HCG injections make no difference in weight reduction when compared with a placebo.
The two daily meals on the HCG diet are based around a 3. Approved choices include chicken , egg whites , white fish , crab, lobster , scallops, extra-lean beef , and bison. Only certain vegetables are allowed on the plan. To accompany lean protein at lunch and dinner, one serving of spinach , chard , beet greens, cabbage , lettuce , celery , cauliflower, broccoli , asparagus , tomatoes , onion , shallots, or radishes is allowed.
As with vegetables, a limited number of fruits are approved for HCG-compliant meals. These include berries , citrus fruits , and apples , which can be consumed once at lunch and once at dinner.
