Getting Through The HCG Diet Plateau

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
