Dealing With HCG Diet Plateau Difficulties

By Dr. Amy McMillan


The HCG diet is a popular way to lose weight these days. It contains three phases and in the second phase you can lose weight every day until you reach your goal. While on this program you might hit a snag that is known as the HCG diet plateau, and your weight loss may stop. When this happens, do not panic. These useful tips and ideas may help you solve the problem.

If you stay on any diet for long enough you will most likely reach an impasse point. It may only be a minor problem as your body adjusts to changes. With the HCG plan you may go through a period that last for five days without weight loss. However, you only may need to wait and your body will make the necessary adjustments. This may or may not work.

Increasing your daily moisture intake can help you start losing weight again. Your problem may be too few bowel movements each day. When you drink plenty of water every day you provide your digestive track with enough moisture to operate at maximum efficiency. You may also consider adding some high fiber supplements to your meals. This will increase bowel movements.

If you are no longer losing weight each day, check your program. You may be doing little things that are steering you away from the original plan. Be certain that you eat all the carbohydrates that you need, but not too many. You also can eliminate lean red meat and eat more vegetables. This may be all that you need to do.

When you notice an HCG diet plateau try an apple strategy. It is important to weigh in every day so the first day without weight loss you can try eating apples. This is all you will eat for the entire day, and is usually about six medium size apples.

When you have an apple day, you should only drink as much water as necessary. This strategy works by moving food through your entire digestive system. You also can lose water weight this way and it is not uncommon to lose a couple of pounds by the next day.

Maybe you are eating the same things each day. Try varying you meals within the plan. Also make sure that you are taking in at least the minimum amount of calories, if you want to avoid an HCG diet plateau. This means you must eat at least 500 to 550 calories every day.
