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.

Many people get their daily weight loss back on track by increasing their water intake. If one is not having enough bowel movements, it can cause weight loss to stop. Maintaining plenty of moisture in the system makes it easier for digestion and elimination. You also may wish to take a high fiber product to induce more frequent 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.

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 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 following the plan too closely and eating the same foods all the time. Try changing what you eat and see if it makes a difference. You also need to check your calorie totals and not eat too few calories daily. You should be taking in at least five hundred or more calories every day to stay away from the HCG diet plateau.
