Did you know that about 50% of people<\/a> made New Year resolutions to lose weight? If you, like so many others, are looking to lose weight and you’ve tried multiple fad diets with no success, you might be considering the HCG diet.<\/p>\n

The HCG diet plan is one of the most popular and effective weight loss plans for sustainable and healthy weight loss. It can be a little daunting to consider, so if you’re looking to learn about the HCG diet phases and how to successfully hit and maintain your goal weight, read on!<\/p>\n

What’s the HCG Diet?<\/h2>\n

HCG is short for human chorionic gonadotropin<\/a>, a hormone present in early pregnancy. The HCG diet is the use of this hormone and reduced calorie intake to lose weight safely.<\/p>\n

HCG can boost metabolism, meaning you feel less hungry while cutting your calories. It’s also thought that HCG can minimize muscle loss and promote fat loss in the most difficult places on the body!<\/p>\n

The HCG Diet Phases<\/h2>\n

This diet is usually broken up into three-phase to minimize the amount of time spent on low-calorie restriction and maximize weight loss. There is a preparation loading phase, the weight loss phase, and then the maintenance phase.<\/p>\n

The Loading Phase<\/h3>\n

HCG phase one is where you start taking HCG but don’t cut your calories yet. Keep eating high-calorie, high-fat foods for two days. HCG takes a little bit of time to get into your system, so this phase allows HCG to take hold.<\/p>\n

The Weight Loss Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n

HCG phase two is the most well-known and effective of the three phases of HCG dieting. In this phase, you continue the HCG injections daily and reduce your diet to 500 calories.<\/p>\n

Usually, this means two meals, lunch and dinner, made up of lean protein, vegetables, and a little bit of fruit. Butter, oils, and sugar should be avoided completely.<\/p>\n

During this time, exercise is discouraged due to the calorie restriction. Depending on your plan, you’ll be in this phase for three to six weeks.<\/p>\n

This phase can be intimidating, but once you’ve gotten into a groove, it’s pretty easy to stick to if you don’t cheat at all! When you cheat, the hunger can return. Check out these tips<\/a> for some suggestions to help you stay strong.<\/p>\n

The Maintenance Phase<\/h3>\n

In HCG phase three, you stop taking the HCG and begin to raise your calorie intake. You’ve already detoxed, so you should try to continue your healthy mindset and eat whole, healthy foods.<\/p>\n

Try to avoid slipping back into old habits. But, if you gain a bit of weight after the HCG diet, it’s no problem! You already know what to do, and you can easily repeat the diet down the line!<\/p>\n

Try the HCG Diet for Yourself!<\/h2>\n

If you’re not convinced, give it a try! You’ll become a believer. Many people have been successful with this program and have kept the weight off for years.<\/p>\n

The HCG diet phases take a bit of work to stick to, but they aren’t very long and lead to extreme, long-lasting results! Check out our supply shop<\/a> for your HCG supply needs, and reach out with any questions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
