How To Lose Weight Fast with Your BFF

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

BFFs are fabulous. And at HCG Diet Direct we totally appreciate the universal institution of best friends. It’s a staple in the realm of relationships. That’s why we decided to recognize it for what it is…an opportunity to do great things together, to support each other and to put it frankly, to lose weight together. We wanted to make it very clear how to lose weight fast with your BFF.

What’s the connection, you ask? Well, we all know that best friends are there for us when we need them. And you’ll need them while you’re trying your hardest to stick to the dieting protocol of the HCG Diet Direct weight loss plan. And we all know that BFFs are all in your business. And for the next month or so, the diet is definitely going to be your business. And we all know that BFFs don’t take kindly to secret weight loss techniques that aren’t shared openly and freely so everyone can benefit equally.

What? Did that last one surprise you? You know it’s true. If your best friend forever disappeared for a month and then showed up 30 pounds lighter (and 4 sizes smaller), without warning you that they were getting weight loss with a new and exciting weight loss tool that they recently discovered, you would be totally ticked off. Admit it.

So at HCG Diet Direct we offered BFFs the chance to kill two birds with one stone. Our recent Facebook promo allowed BFFs worldwide to access the benefits of HCG Diet Direct weight loss at a buy one get one free promotion. But it was only open to BFFs. Did you take advantage of it?

Lose Weight Fast: Is a Month Fast Enough?

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

Individuals who are looking for immediate weight loss are often disappointed no matter how terrific their weight loss results are. They are looking to lose weight fast, and nothing else matters to them. They are willing to pay. They are willing to risk their health. They are willing to do almost anything, and some of them pay with their health for their desperation.

With HCG Diet Direct, dieters can lose weight fast without risking their health. They can start dropping pounds almost immediately. (Many are already meeting the weight of daily weight loss average within the first week). But they won’t drop ALL their weight immediately. And unless they are only planning on losing 10 or so pounds, it’s not likely they will drop ALL their weight in the first week either. But, come on, isn’t a month fast enough?

The majority of HCG Diet Direct dieters actually meet their weight loss goals within a month of starting the diet. The most popular HCG Diet Direct weight loss program is the 26 day diet. That means that individuals stick to the rules as set down in the protocol for a full 26 days. They then follow this portion of the program with 26 days of maintenance dieting. The majority of dieters actually lose all the weight they planned on losing within the 26 days on the low calorie portion of the diet. And that’s no joke! Those are very, very serious results.

So while HCG Diet Direct weight loss isn’t immediate, it’s about as close to immediate weight loss as you’re likely to get without any severe health consequences. And no matter what anyone says or does, losing weight shouldn’t be a health risk. It’s supposed to improve your overall health and help you live a happier, healthier lifestyle.

Ways To Lose Weight: Hints and Tips for HCG Dieting

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Sick of hearing the discussions on ways to lose weight? That usually means that you have already lost the weight and don’t care about other peoples’ never ending quests for weight loss, or you are losing weight on the HCG diet and don’t think there’s anything more to talk about. But you’d be wrong. There’s still much to discuss.

First off, you will want to listen to hints and tips for maximizing the weight loss available to you through the HCG Diet Direct weight loss program. And secondly, you’ll want to listen to advice and recommendations about keeping the weight loss off for the long run.

Tips for Maximizing Weight Loss:

Follow the rules
Learn to cook your own food
Don’t make exceptions
Eat out as little as possible
NEVER eat fast food even if you think it’s HCG approved
Don’t indulge in strenuous exercise
Don’t eat less than the recommended calories
Go to bed at a decent hour

Tips for Maintaining Weight loss:

Remember which healthy foods you like and keep them around
Avoid high calorie snacking
Weigh everyday to keep track of weight
Try not to eat out too often
Avoid fast food when possible
Continue to prepare your own meals regularly
Remember the HCG approved recipes that you enjoyed

While following the protocol dieters pick up good, healthy eating habits. It is most advantageous for dieters who have completed the program to hold onto these good habits as they move forward and start reintroducing other foods and a higher number of calories back into their diet. This is the most beneficial aspect of the HCG dieting program: the adaptation of new eating habits that allow dieters to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

Lose Weight: More Products to Aid Your HCG Weight Loss

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

People who want to lose weight with HCG dieting tend to have questions about the limitations that are placed upon skin care products while on the diet. Almost any skin care product that the average person uses contains oil (more specifically nutritional oil) that can harm the dieter’s prospects of successfully maximizing their weight loss while on the HCG dieting program.

So what should dieter’s do to avoid making an “exception” for their normal lotions and potions? HCG Diet Direct actually developed a skin care line specifically with the HCG diet in mind that will enable dieters to stick to the HCG dieting protocol exactly without giving up their beauty routine.

HCG Diet Direct’s skin care line currently offers:

Between the three of the newest products offered by HCG Diet Direct, dieters will be able to completely care for their skin while on the diet. While many facial cleansers, toners and moisturizers are not appropriate for use while on the program, the products developed by HCG Diet Direct fulfill the needs of even the most demanding and picky dieters. The products offered through HCG Diet Direct contain no perfumes, artificial colorings or other harmful chemicals that can derail a dieter who is attempting to stick to the guidelines of the HCG Diet Direct Ultimate Homeopathic Diet.

Walden Farms on the Menu for HCG Diet Weight Loss Plan?

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Dieters are always full of questions about the HCG diet weight loss plan. And the majority of their questions are regarding the use of certain foods and beverages while they are on the program. A Facebook user recently posted a question on the wall, “So are we able to use any or all of the Walden Farms products on the program?”

Walden Farms is a manufacturer of dieting products. The majority of their products would be classified as condiments. Walden Farms products contain no carbs, no fat, no calories, no gluten and no sugar. This makes it a popular choice for many HCG Diet Direct dieters. While HCG Diet Direct does not have Walden Farms products included in their protocol and therefore cannot endorse it as an official part of the menu for HCG diet programs, many customers have reported success while using these Walden Farms products on the HCG Diet Direct weight loss plan.

As is the case with all foods on the HCG Diet Direct weight loss plan, limitation is crucial. Overdoing any food or beverage on the plan is not a good idea.

What products are offered through Walden Farms?
-   Syrups: Blueberry, Caramel, Strawberry, Pancake, Chocolate
-   Mayo
-   Whipped Peanut Spread
-   Fruit Spreads: Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Apricot, Apple Butter, Grape, Orange
-   BBQ sauces: Original, Honey, Hickory Smoke, Thick ’N Spicy
-   Dips or Fruit: Chocolate, Caramel, Marshmallow
-   Seafood Sauce
-   Ketchup
-   Veggie and Chip Dips: Bleu Cheese, Ranch, French Onion, Bacon
-   Pasta Sauces: Alfredo, Tomato and Basil, Garlic and Herb
-   Salad Dressings: Chipotle Ranch, Sesame Ginger, Thousand Island, Buttermilk Ranch, Raspberry Vinaigrette, Bleu Cheese, Caesar, Honey Dijon, French, Creamy Bacon, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Bacon Ranch, Italian, Asian, Russian, Zesty Italian, Italian Sun Dried Tomato, Creamy Italian, Jersey Sweet Onion, Coleslaw Dressing

When thinking about incorporating foods such as Walden Farms into your HCG Diet Direct weight loss plan, you should consider them tools to be used sparingly rather than fillers to depend upon regularly. Part of the program is learning to limit your portion sizes and enjoy healthy foods. Replacing your regular “fillers” with no carb, no calorie fillers can decrease your chances for long term success.

Gathering Free HCG Diet Recipes

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

When you decide to complete the homeopathic HCG weight loss plan through HCG Diet Direct the first thing most people do is order their product. Most people are fairly excited about the prospect of losing a amount of weight in a short time period so they usually start right away.

The first thing new dieters notice is that they have to learn how to prepare a healthy meal. Many people have never before prepared a healthy meal; even some of those who cook regularly. Oil and butter are mainstays in the American kitchen and when they are taken off the agenda…many find they are at a loss as to how to proceed.

The first step would be to remind yourself of the basics: grilling, roasting and baking. These are all HCG approved cooking methods. And they are all traditional forms of food preparation. But it’s amazing (and quite telling) that many Americans don’t think of them when they are standing in the kitchen with their homeopathic HCG weight loss plan protocol wondering what to do with their approved foods for dinner.

That’s why it’s a good idea to gather free HCG diet recipes. Many find themselves depending heavily on HCG diet cookbooks, but in addition to the cookbook provided by or available through your homeopathic HCG weight loss plan distributor you can find fun, new and exciting free HCG diet recipes.

The only qualifier is to make sure that you are comfortable enough with the homeopathic HCG dieting protocol to know which free HCG diet recipes are appropriate and which are not. Don’t trust just any random cyber stranger to offer only recipes that are approved for the program. They might be sticking to a program that has slight alterations in comparison to the one you are on or they could just not be very smart. They’re strangers; you just can’t be sure. So depend on your own judgment.

Not sure where to start gathering free HCG diet recipes? Start in Google or any other major search engine. Type in “free HCG diet recipes” and see what comes up! You’ll find that people post them all over the place: blogs, Facebook, MySpace, websites, etc.

Sweeteners On The HCG Diet

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

Do you love sweets? I’m not going to judge. I love sweets. I think there’s something elementally wrong with people who don’t love sweets. They’re perpetually grumpy in my experience. But we’ll move on since the point I’m headed towards has nothing to do with sweets and their effect on mood, but with sweets and their availability during a low calorie diet. There are basically three ways to deal with sweets when on a low calorie diet. You can indulge very, very carefully and on a very limited basis. Or you can substitute other, lower calorie sweeteners for the sugar, etc. that you would normally have for “sweets.” Or you can just flat out do without.

Sometimes when you’re on a low calorie diet there’s a calorie limitation, but no other set in stone guidelines. In this instance you are free to indulge in sweets. You just have to be ultra careful because sweets are typically so high in calories compared to other foods. And you have to make sure you leave enough calories leftover after your short indulgence to stretch for the rest of the day.

Know your available substitutes. This will depend upon the particular low calorie diet that you are on. If you have a sweet tooth this may very well be the most vital preparation you can do for the start of your program. You’ll need to know exactly what you’re going to access to fill that “sugar void” for the duration of your low calorie diet. Choose a sweetener that won’t kill your calorie count for the day and that is approved by your program’s protocol.

Low calorie sweeteners (sugar substitutes) are all over. Some still like SweetNLow or Equal. But others opt for what’s becoming known as intensely sweet options: aspartame, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame potassium, stevia or saccharin. These carry an “intense” sweetness in very small doses. So they help immensely when trying to get that “sweet” taste in without spending all your calories.

There are two sweeteners approved for use while following the homeopathic HCG weight loss plan diet. These two sweeteners are stevia and saccharine.

Adding appropriate sweets to your HCG approved meal plan is much easier when you have access to recipes that have been tried and tested. For example there’s an entire dessert section in the homeopathic HCG Diet Direct Recipe Guide that is filled with yummy sweets (desserts and snacks).

And then there’s still that one last option. You can just go without sweets. Even if you have a sweet tooth you are capable of indulging it or not. It’s a great method and it’s one we should all learn at one point or another. When dieting you have to be able to say no to things that you may want. It’s just that simple.

Professionals Looking For A Fast Way To Lose Weight

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Are you on the lookout for a fast way to lose weight? Why? Do you have a specific reason? Many of the reasons cited are familiar and repetitive.

Most who want to lose weight have a specific reason for doing so. They might have an upcoming event that they want to look their best for like a wedding or a reunion. Others just find themselves looking in the mirror and not liking what they see; from one day to the next they have resolved to lose weight. Some find themselves instructed by medical professionals to lose weight in order to better their health. But there are still others with a very different reason for wanting to lose weight.

More often experts are seeing people losing weight and looking for a fast way to lose weight because they want to get a head at work. Typical stereotypes attached to overweight or obese individuals follow them into their workplace and often keep them from reaching their full potential. Stereotypes classify them as lazy, unproductive, inefficient, etc.

Like every stereotype…the stereotypes attached to overweight and obese individuals are not necessarily true. But a lot of professionals seeing that the stereotypes, true or not, are holding them back in their careers are taking it upon themselves to make it right. Their solution is to lose weight. This way they are no longer susceptible to the stereotypes. They can distance themselves from them.

The Obesity Society indicates that being overweight or obese makes it more likely that an employee will be passed over for a promotion (even one that they deserve). It also makes it more likely that they will be passed over for raises. They often have lower pay than co-workers and others in the industry filling similar positions.

Liza of Phoenix, Arizona said, “I missed out on a well deserved promotion 2 years in a row. The only thing that could possibly be holding me back was my weight. So I’m losing the weight. And next year I am positive that I will be the one to get the promotion. I have better stats than either of my co-workers promoted in the past two years.”

Dr. Ronald J. Willis of HCG Diet Direct said, “We see a lot of people looking for weight loss. And we’re seeing more professional people on the lookout for a fast way to lose weight. They are vocal about their goals. They might mention in passing that they are looking forward to wearing a smaller size or being more active, but they are very focused on the fact that losing weight will get them ahead in their career.”

Many professionals are reaching out for weight loss. They need something that will help them lose a amount of weight in a short amount of time. Any method that would entail a recovery time would be counterproductive since the entire point is to accelerate their career advancement. So they are considering homeopathic methods that offer weight loss without the invasiveness of surgery or the recovery time. They’re smart and they’re efficient and they’re getting it done.

Weight Loss And Your Bad Mood

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

In a bad mood? Do you figure that’s just the way it is and you’ll have to deal until you snap out of it? You might want to consider recent research by the Society for the Study of Ingested Behavior. Their research indicates that overweight, depressed individuals who experience weight loss actually experience mood improvement along with the weight loss.

51 participants took part in a 6 month study. Some were depressed and some were not depressed. All participants followed a supervised weight loss program. The program was based on lifestyle modifications (and participants were given meal replacements). Weight loss varied but the average weight loss for depressed participants was 8%. And the average weight loss for non-depressed study participants was 11%.

Unhealthy weight and depression are both risk factors for heart disease and stroke. So the successful alleviation of both simultaneously offers huge health benefits to those suffering from both. Weight loss and improved mood in a depressed individual will undoubtedly lead to be better general health for the long term.

The better mood as a benefit of weight loss is a very desirable benefit for many. But it’s not the only one that comes with weight loss. Depressed participants of the study also saw a decrease in triglycerides. Since they, too, are a common risk factor for both stroke and heart disease their reduction served as another health benefit in favor of weight loss.

Weight loss experts often hear testimonials from weight loss success stories featuring comments on better mood, increased energy, increased zest for life, increased activity levels and more. These common phrases indicate a mood change in comparison to the mood of the individuals prior to losing weight.

Weight loss is a definite health benefit for depressed individuals as it offers a mood improvement. But many are urging further study into the benefits of weight loss to those with mental disorders and extreme mental issues including/regarding: anxiety, extreme lack of confidence, panic disorder, debilitating negative self image, etc. Tentative benefits are being discussed with definite intentions to study them further to actually define links between weight loss and mental health improvement.

Weight loss is generally a good choice for treatment for individuals who are at an unhealthy weight because its health benefits are wide and varied. The decrease in risks for common illnesses and diseases alone makes it beneficial for a large majority. When the health benefits are taken into consideration on top of the decreased risks for negative health it is a sure bet that weight loss will be a good addition to the health regime of many.

Individuals who successfully lose weight and maintain it for the long term also report that weight loss changed their lives in many ways including: better quality of life, increased energy, increased productivity (in their professional and personal life), and increased desire to be active. This common conclusion indicates that weight loss is…in essence one of the best ways to improve general health, mental health and emotional health. And it’s all natural.

HCG Dieting And Dessert…Can The Two Go Hand In Hand?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

On a weight loss diet? That’s definitely what they call a low calorie diet. Do you love dessert? Don’t think you can’t still feed that sweet tooth.

But there are tools out there to make sure dieters and potential dieters get the tips they need to navigate the diet. That includes potential dieters that are wary of depriving themselves of sweets. Following the diet protocol exactly can leave dieters feeling satisfied. It’s just very important to take advantage of every tool.

To prove that dessert is possible while on the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program…check out a few treats outlined in the HCG Diet Direct cookbook:

Strawberry Shortcake, 1 serving

The ingredients listed are: 2 drops of Stevia (vanilla creme is best), sliced strawberries, and plain Melba Toast

Instructions: take the melba toast and add one drop of stevia. Slice up a few strawberries and place them along the toast in a layer. Then add one more drop of stevia. And you’re finished. Don’t form an opinion until you’ve tried it.

Strawberries and Cream, 1 serving

Ingredients: strawberries, 1 tablespoon milk, 2-4 drops of vanilla creme stevia, 1 packet of dry stevia

How to make it: Slice the strawberries. Place the strawberries in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of milk and both the Vanilla Creme Stevia and dry Stevia. Toss the ingredients together and serve the dessert.

The Strawberry and Orange Smoothie recipe serves one

You’ll need to have 1/2 and orange (1/3 cup orange juice as a substitute if necessary), 1 cup strawberries (fresh is always best, but frozen is fine), 3/4 cup crushed ice, 1/2 dropper any flavor Stevia (or you can use dry Stevia), you can also add a handful of frozen spinach.

How to make it: Put all the ingredients in the blender together and turn it on until it’s smooth. Pour and serve immediately.

Looking into the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program can leave potential dieters feeling wary of the lack of sugar and fat. But after trying a few of the dessert/treat recipes most will change their mind. It’s not nearly as difficult as many potential dieters make it out to be.
