Dealing With HCG Diet Plateau Difficulties

By Dr. Amy McMillan


The HCG diet is becoming very popular and a lot of people are excited with the results. This plan contains three parts and the middle part allows you to lose weight daily until you reach your goal. Yet, it is possible to hit an HCG diet plateau and this can be very frustrating. If this happens to you, consider these helpful tips to remedy the problem.

Plateaus are a normal part of many diets and are nothing to be overly concerned about. Often times, it is just the body adjusting to something new or different. With the HCG plan, it is not uncommon to notice a period of five or six days with no weight loss. Sometimes, patience is all that is needed, so do not quit and give the plan a chance. Your body may work through it on its own.

If your weight loss has stopped try drinking more water all through the day. When you increase the amount of moisture in your system you make it easier to digest and eliminate your meals. Your body needs enough moisture to properly function. You may get results if you take some high fiber products along with your meals. This will increase the amount of bowel movements.

If you are not getting results, check to see that you are following the plan. Maybe you are slacking off or veering from the main program. Make sure that you get just the right amount of carbohydrates in your system. Also, you may need to eliminate red meat and add more vegetables. This can help to get you back on track.

Some people get through their HCG diet plateau problems with the help of apples. You should be weighing yourself daily and on the first day of no weight loss, try eating nothing but apples for the entire day. This will take about six apples for your total (depending on the size).

When you try the apple method you should drink just enough water to get by. The idea is to help the body rid itself of excess fluids, and move food through the system. You could notice as much as two pounds difference in one day.

You might be eating the same foods every day and this may cause you to stagnate. Try mixing things up a bit and varying foods. Check to see that you are eating enough every day to keep your metabolism up. Remember that eating at least the minimum calorie amount will help you avoid the HCG diet plateau.
