When Dr. Simeons first came up with the HCG diet 50 years ago, it was only available in fancy HCG weight loss clinics. Sure, who wouldn’t like the luxury of an exclusive weight loss clinic? But let’s be honest: how many of us can afford the money or the time for that? So, it’s good news that it’s now possible to purchase HCG online and you don’t even need a prescription.
Drawbacks of a Clinic
Weight loss clinics are not the best way of effecting a real and true lifestyle change anyway. Truth be told, a lifestyle change is really what the HCG diet is all about. Weight loss clinics take you out of your life, out of your usual environment. If you’re trying to make new habits that you can incorporate into your life, you need to be in your life to figure out what’s going to work and what’s not.
A weight loss clinic may be all well and good if you’re a movie star. They’re usually the ones who can afford them. This may be stereotyping a little here, but they don’t seem as tied to structures and schedules as the rest of us are.
Real Life Breaks In
Maybe that’s because money and fame come with a certain degree of power. Power to have a little more say in how your days are spent. Most of the rest of us are more subject to our employers, our kids’ schedules, our communities in general. We have to report to work at a certain time, eat lunch at a certain time, and pick the kids up from school or daycare or soccer practice at a certain time, and so on and so on.
Incorporating healthy habits can still be done, but it requires some degree of planning ahead. The best way of figuring out what you can reasonably work into your day is trial and error, I think. The HCG diet provides guidelines to help you, and it’s open-ended enough to fit into any schedule if it’s something you truly want to do.
