The oral HCG Direct diet plan offers a yet safe release of weight. This kind of instant gratification is important for dieters who have tried and failed on other diet plans, and need to see results in order to stick with a plan. However, sometimes dieters come to a point in the HCG weight loss program when they do not release weight as as they did before.
Known as a “stall” or a “plateau,” this period of time can be very frustrating and even demoralizing for even the most positive-minded dieter. To help avoid these plateaus, we offer the following five tips:
1. Track Your Caloric Intake
In America, portion sizes are out of control, and it’s common for nearly every dieter to suffer from “portion distortion.” Therefore, it’s crucial, if your weight loss slows, to make sure you are limiting your calories to a reasonable number per day. You can track this by using an online food journal, or by jotting it down on a piece of paper. Measure or weigh all of your meals before consuming them.
2. Monitor Your Water Intake
It’s also very common for most Americans to go around in a state of semi-dehydration most of the time. This thirst can actually register as hunger, so you feel you need to eat more, when really you need to increase the amount of water you drink.
It’s crucial to drink 2 liters of water per day. You can track this on an online food journal or in your written journal as well.
3. Take Your Supplements
The sublingual drops are so wonderfully convenient, you should have no problem sticking to you dosage schedule. Yet the most common cause of a stall is failure to take the hormonal supplement as scheduled. Your body cannot make the biochemical changes it needs to release excess weight without this hormone in your body. So take the supplement with you as you run errands or travel, so you can stay on track.
4. Avoid the Gym
Another common mistake is thinking you must hit the gym to make weight loss faster. In fact, exercising while on this program will simply make you hungrier, more tired, and more prone to falling off the wagon. Trust the protocol! You will retain your lean muscle tissue and have the lean physique you want without ever setting foot on a treadmill during the diet.
5. Find Your Ideal Weight
Dr. Simeons admitted there is a point at which you can no longer lose weight, even with the supplements. This is your ideal weight and it’s something your body determines for you. So make sure your weight loss goals are both realistic and tailored to your own body and its needs. If your weight loss begins to slow and you are following the protocol to the letter, you may be approaching your ideal weight.
This is day 16 for me and I have lost only 11 pounds. I had lost the 11 pounds at day 12, and have since been stuck at the same weight for the 4th day in a row. I have been religious with both the diet and the drops. I have not cheated at all. How can I get the weight to continue to come off ? I’m about to give up! HELP…
