I've heard that the HCG diet starts with something called "loading days." What is that?

The emphasis here is on consuming foods high in FAT. You may eat whatever you want, but fats are what you need to focus on these loading days. Loading days are to help your body set up the new hCG in your system to start burning fat. You will want to eat or 'load up' on as many fatty foods as you can possibly stand. Dr. Simeons' Protocol states to 'eat to capacity' for those first 2 days on the hCG. The consequence if you don't has been for many to discover that their hunger is still there and can become uncomfortable. If you 'load' properly, you will find that the hCG begins right away to scavenge needed calories from your abnormal fat stores (the really annoying ones like in the gut) so that you feel no real hunger at all.

You DO need to take the hCG on loading days. The loading works with the hCG to prep your bod for the changes coming. There are two primary reasons for loading:1. The hCG effect of burning your abnormal fat stores for fuel does not kick in until the third dose, so eating 500 calories without this effect of hCG will cause you problems in terms of losing structural fat and being extremely hungry until it does kick in. 2. You need to replenish the structural fat stores that are usually depleted in dieting, assuming that you have dieted without hCG in the past.

What if i get a cold while taking HCG or I already use medications? Is my diet doomed!?

This is really a good question, especially because a lot of us get colds during this time of year when the seasons change. Unfortunately if you get a cold on the HCG Diet, it can sometimes cause you to gain a little bit of weight.But there are some things that you can take if you do get sick.At the first sign of a cold, you want to take large doses of Vitamin C. It can also be combined with an antihistamine. And if you have been prescribed an antibiotic by your doctor, you can take that too.

For those who are taking medication I would recommend that you keep taking your medication while on the HCG diet plan. Never stop taking your medication unless you get the ok from your doctor. :) You should continue taking any drugs that are medically necessary, but it is important to disclose all medications and the diet protocol to your doctor before starting the HCG diet plan. The goal of the HCG diet is to improve your health, not worsen it, so no prescription should be discontinued without your doctor's orders. That said, some medication may slow your weight loss results, although the effect is unavoidable. But you will still be able to lose weight it just might not be at a fast rate like those who do not take medications while on HCG. But do not let this discourage you from begging or continuing the diet.

Miracle noodles on HCG diet. What are they, and where can I get them?

Shirataki or miracle noodles were originally developed in Asia, but they have recently come to the attention of people around the world. Because these noodles have almost no "bad" carbohydrates. Miracle Noodles are 100% calorie free, soy free and they are gluten free product that can be incorporated with your HCG diet.Miracle noodles contain soluble fibers and iron that mainly help in slowing down the digestion process thus delaying the sense of fullness during the diet. When your digestion slows down, your body begins to absorb more nutrients.

People have said that they say that they can taste fishy and have a bitter taste. But there is hope for you noodle lovers. I have been told that if you rinse them then put them in the microwave to dry them out a bit they will yield a better taste. How you do this is microwave them for one minute on high, then drain them in a strainer and pat dry with a paper towel. Again after they microwave and you have them dry a bit, the noodles will be able to soak up whatever sauce you put on them and that their texture is better. You can buy them at many local Asian stores more and more seem to be carrying them these days. You can also get them at any health food store in the refrigerated section. Last you can order them online. So give them a try!

Dr. Oz's input on the HCG diet!

Information Given By Dr Oz On HCG

Eager to be known by many is the information given by Dr Oz on HCG. HCG, scientifically known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a natural protein hormone that develops in the placenta of pregnant women during the first trimester. It is believed that this hormone can send signals to the hypothalamus to break down and use abnormally high contents of body fat as a fuel source.

The HCG diet is one which requires a daily shot of the hormone as well as a low calorie intake; the recommended amount of calories that should be eaten a day is five hundred. If a five hundred calorie diet is done without HCG the body will start to break down muscles and cause resting metabolic rate to decrease. HCG stops this from happening by tricking the body into thinking the correct amount of calories needed is being ingested.

HCG injections for weight loss are given under the skin and in muscles. Improper administration of the shot may lead to cramps and pain. Though this hormone is produced by women during pregnancy it can be taken by both men and women in order to lose weight. The hormone can now be found in the form of pills and oral drops in drug stores and online.

This is a useful way of reducing fatty muscles however, the 500 calorie diet must be stuck to for it to work efficiently. If the diet is followed correctly it is possible to lose 1 pound a day. When the hormone is dissolved it circulates through the blood stream and turns fat into calories therefore increasing metabolism and enhancing weight loss.

The oral drops of HCG is diluted and much more effective than the injections as it is taken sublingually and dissolves into the blood stream much quicker. The better method for use is the oral method as it eliminates pain and is absorbed by the body much faster therefore giving better results.

Statements made by Dr Oz on HCG shows that a diet like this has been long awaited by many. It has been believed to be the miracle of weight loss by some persons. Consult with a doctor and try this diet today and see the results that can be obtained.
