FAQs

Do you eat breakfast on HCG diet? ›

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Or so they say. However, in our HCG world, it actually is extremely important. We recommend starting your day with some protein to help jump start the day.

It controls your metabolism among other things. Phase 3 must be followed for 6 weeks. Absolutely no carbohydrates in the first 3 weeks and introducing them slowly back into your diet the 2nd 3 weeks always weighing yourself daily to insure no weight gain! Weigh yourself at home on the day of your last injection (liw).

Steak Day: For the steak day, carbs are almost completely removed for a day, with the exception of vegetables. Don't eat anything except for vegetables all day, and then have a large serving of protein at night (6-8 oz.). Phase 3 increases calories to 1500-2000 calories per day.

Lunch and Dinner: Any meat is 1 item: 100gms of beef, veal, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab or shrimp. Make sure that the meat is very lean with no fat. All visible fat must be removed before cooking. All meat must be weighed uncooked.

Drink lots of water – doing this while following the HCG diet plan keeps the cravings to a minimum while at the same time making the plan easier to follow and more effective. Additionally, water acts as a medium to mobilize excess fat and flush it out of your body.

Oddly enough, if you eat over 500 calories/day, or foods not on the diet (i.e. a bite of a donut), you will often have severe hunger. It seems counter-intuitive, but it is important that your fat stores are full when you begin the 500 calorie/day diet, since your body uses these first for energy.

Dairy. Aside from one tablespoon of milk per day, the HCG diet plan's weight-loss phase does not permit dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, ice cream, or any additional milk.

If you should go back to the normal diet when the HCG is still within your body liberating the store fat, you will end up gaining a reasonable amount of weight.

You won't lose the same amount of weight every day, but at the end of 30 days, you should find yourself 15 to 40 pounds slimmer. Your weight loss depends on two factors: introducing the HCG hormone into your body to activate your hypothalamus gland and limiting the calories consumed daily.

When a person who is used to high-calorie intake is on HCG diet, the body assumes that it is in starvation mode. When you consume more calories instantly after completing the diet, your body fights to hold on to every calorie (in case there is another starvation mode coming up) which leads to weight gain.

Why am I hungry on an HCG diet? ›

Furthermore, these studies determined that the hCG hormone didn't significantly reduce hunger. Several studies indicate that weight loss on the hCG diet is due only to drastic calorie restriction. It has nothing to do with hCG — which is also ineffective in reducing hunger.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHILE ON THE DIET? A: You can expect to be hungry the first couple of days of the diet. After about 48 hrs the HCG kicks in to curb your hunger and release fat stores to help feed your body. Most HCG dieters report a daily weight loss.
