HCG weight loss programs are about more than losing weight. They’re about learning to slow down, calm down, and enjoy life a little. You might say that they’re a little dose of “life therapy.”
Enjoying the Process of Life
People who work with dementia and Alzheimer’s patients focus on helping those patients to find pleasure in the small processes of life. Since people with these conditions no longer have any concept of future or the forward motion of time, it’s all about the moment.
For example, they might find pleasure in the act of knitting or washing dishes without thinking about what the result will be—a sweater or clean dishes. They simply find happiness in having something to do with their hands.
Putting the Focus on the Little Things
While dementia and Alzheimer’s are conditions to which none of us aspire, we can learn something from these patients. You’ve heard the phrase, “It’s the little things.” Well, it is, in fact, the little things.
Rather than being bogged down with everything you have to do, focus on one little task at a time, such as preparing a healthy, nutritious meal. The HCG diet teaches you how to make these types of meals.
You might put a little of that meal aside to take with you for lunch the next day, along with your HCG drops, your vitamin and herbal supplements, your herbal tea, and your stevia to sweeten it. You may think that having to remember all of this will cause more stress, but I think you’ll find that, in fact, it helps you to feel calm, ordered, and in control of your life.
You’ll probably find that you have more energy and serenity to make it through the day. You’ll be getting more energy from what you’re eating, for one thing, and your body will be burning its excess fat due to the prompting of the HCG. Therefore, you shouldn’t feel any excessive hunger. You’ll be floored by how much more enjoyable small moments and processes will be.
