HCG Dietary Errors

Diets allow wiggle room, but too much wiggling will lead to no weight loss. The HCG diet protocol is one diet where everything must work together for a recipe to attain success. If you color too much out of the lines you will not notice a difference.

Coloring out the lines will happen to many dieters. The first thing is to admit the mistake and move past it. Weight loss consultants see this every day and will not be angry, but they do want you to be successful.

We have heard thousands of times how important water is for the body. While on HCG it is that important times one hundred. If water is not consumed throughout the day on the diet the body is forced to withhold water from the kidneys. Excessive water is forced to be taken from the intestines making the feces hard and dry. Water flushes out the system helping the body rid of any toxins. It also makes the stomach feel full allowing less calories from food intake.

Excessive sodium is not good for the body whether on a diet or not. There are no rules regarding no intake of sodium on the HCG diet, but it must be kept consistent. An increase in the intake of salt is one of the most common causes for an increase in weight from one day to the next. Yes, you can eat salt here and there, but a sudden increase will be shown on the scale. In order to hold one teaspoonful of salt the body requires one liter of water. If a person eats one teaspoonful of salt the weight will go up by more than two pounds as soon as this salt is absorbed from his intestine.

HCG is strict on the amount of calories paired with the amount of food that the body can take on during the diet. The blood is saturated with food and the blood volume has adapted itself so that it can only just accommodate a certain number of calories which come in from the intestinal tract. Any additional calories cannot be accommodated and the blood is forced to increase its volume sufficiently to hold the extra food. Eating a larger quantity of meat or eating a few pieces of bread will change the dynamic and force the body to withhold the fat.

Of course, getting out of line does not crash the entire diet. There are plateau days of eating apples and there is even a day of steak to get back on track. The body reacts to certain foods like chemistry. The foods combined with the diet protocol will react together to lose pounds and inches. After the diet is over you can go back to eating normally in moderation. A lifestyle change is hard and does not happen overnight, but once you feel the effects of the chemistry working in your body you will want to stay on path for a better tomorrow.
