When followed correctly, the HCG diet is one of the easiest and safest ways to lose weight and, best of all, the weight loss is usually permanent. As a result, lots of seriously obese people end up on the HCG diet after their weight loss attempts using other diets have crashed and burned miserably.
But although the HCG diet is a very successful and easy way of losing serious amounts of weight, it is also very restrictive. Once on the HCG diet, you are only allowed to eat 500 calories per day of carefully selected foods, mostly lean meat plus fresh fruit and vegetables. Not all vegetables and fruit are ok to eat while on the HCG diet, and indeed some are forbidden, but of those you are “allowed” to eat, many have other properties such as the ability to lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
What are the HCG diet weight loss rules you must follow?
Many HCG dieters are initially concerned about limited amount of calories they are allowed to consume. They think that they will not be able to survive on such a meager diet, but the reality is completely different, which is why the HCG diet is so enduringly successful.
The HCG hormone reprograms the hypothalamus to release energy from stored fat deposits, so instead of subsisting on only 500 calories per day, you are actually benefiting from a further 1500 – 4000 calories per day. Your fat deposits are turned into fuel for your body and by the time you reach the end of the HCG diet period, you will have successfully burned up all of your excess fat stores.
The HCG diet is a highly effective way of losing large amounts of weight, but you must follow the HCG diet protocol precisely if you hope to achieve your optimum weight loss goal!
