Your Guide to the HCG Diet Plan Phase 1

Your Guide to the HCG Diet Plan Phase 1

Nearly 3 out of every 4 adults over the age of 20 are overweight, according to the CDC. Being overweight and obese significantly raise your chances of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and a whole host of serious health ailments.

But if you are looking to shed some pounds and kickstart your health journey, you might be wondering where to even begin. How do you even know which diet plan would work best for you?

We have your answer.

If you are curious about how to start the HCG diet plan phase 1, we have you covered. We have created a guide here on how to successfully take on this weight-loss program without sacrificing your day-to-day enjoyment.

How Often Can You Eat on the HCG Diet Plan Phase 1?

Some diets can feel pretty restrictive on the number of meals you are allowed to eat every day. Intermittent fasting allows you to eat in a small window of time. On the HCG diet plan phase 1 you eat two meals a day. This will help keep you satiated and feeling full so that the HCG injections can be as effective as possible.

What Types of Food Can You Eat?

A key element within this four-phase diet is to regulate your blood sugar. Certain foods have naturally low glycemic indexes, which are great for this exact purpose.

On the HCG diet plan phase 1, you should be looking to eat apples, grapefruits, and other types of fruits. You want your fat reserves to be full, so think of high-calorie, high-fat foods like avocados, cheeses, fish, eggs, full-fat yogurt, seeds, and nuts.

You can put cream cheese on your morning bagels, sour cream on your baked potato, and cream in your coffee. Certain high-quality fattier meats are also a good choice for the first phase of the HCG diet plan. Phase one is also known as the “loading phase” of the diet.

What Should You Be Drinking on the HCG Diet Plan Phase 1?

For the first phase of the HCG diet plan, you want to stick to water and avoid sugary drinks if you can. High-calorie smoothies are a great option here since they can be low in sugar (if you choose the right ingredients) while also helping to fill up your fat reserves. It is best to avoid alcoholic drinks, as there are many health risks associated with them.

The Ultimate Guide to Insulin Syringe Sizes

The Ultimate Guide to Insulin Syringe Sizes

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) can be given as intramuscular injections or subcutaneous injections. To make sure you are getting the proper dosage, you will need the right equipment. This means you need to do some research before buying your HCG supplies.

This guide will help inform you of the equipment you might need when preparing and injecting HCG. Read on to learn which insulin syringe sizes you’ll need for HCG preparation and HCG injections.

10 Milliliter (ML) Mixing Syringes

Our large mixing syringes hold up to 10 millimeters. They are essential for combining powdered HCG with bacteriostatic water to get the right liquid solution for the HCG injection. The 1.5-inch needle on the end of this syringe is used solely for the mixing process as it is large and would be very uncomfortable for injections.

Utilize safety procedures when combining medications such as HCG powder with bacteriostatic water to make a liquid solution.

3 Milliliter (ML) Injection Syringes

The 3 ml injection syringe can hold up to 3 ccs of fluid so it is ideal for a larger dosage and it has a needle on the end of it. These syringe/needle combos are ideal for intramuscular injections that occur in the thigh or shoulder because muscle tissue can hold a larger volume of medication and it has a greater blood supply traveling through it.

You don’t want to do an intramuscular injection with a needle that is too short or too long. This 3 ml syringe has a 1.25-inch needle on the end so that it is long enough to make it into the targeted muscle. The proper needle length also makes sure it won’t intrude on the underlying nerves and bone systems.

1 Milliliter (ML) Injection Syringes

The 1 ml injection syringe (also known as an insulin-style syringe) has a half-inch needle on the end of it. This syringe can handle up to 1 cc of fluid making it ideal for a small volume injection, such as insulin injections. The HCG dosages can be given as subcutaneous injections (injections given just below the surface of the skin) rather than into the muscle tissue.

Most people use insulin needles for HCG injections because these injections are self-administered. The tiny needle is quick, safe, and painless for anyone afraid to give themselves injections.

These little needles on the end of the syringe are virtually painless, and are less noticeable than an intramuscular injection. This makes them the easiest type of injection to handle.

Picking the Right Insulin Syringe Sizes

The different insulin syringe sizes are great for different dosages. You’ll have to do your research to determine which type of injection you will do: intramuscular vs subcutaneous. It all comes down to how comfortable you might be with needles. A tiny insulin needle will be easier to use if you have a phobia when it comes to needles and injections.
