We have compile a list of the top 6 myths our clients have heard before coming to us to start their wieght loss journey.
MYTH 1:
THE 500-CALORIE DIET REQUIRED ON AN HCG PROGRAM IS TOO LOW & I’LL FEEL FATIGUED.
FACT: HCG SIGNALS FOR YOUR BODY TO USE CURRENT FAT STORES FOR ENERGY AND THE TYPE OF CALORIES YOU EAT ON THE DIET ALSO GIVE YOU MORE ENERGY
The goal of the HCG Diet program is to eat healthier, and the idea is to get back to basics (fruit, veggies, and protein). Our clients learn about portion size, calories in foods and about choosing more nutritious foods. So while the calorie count is low, you are actually providing your body with nutrients that give you more energy!
MYTH 2:
I WON’T GET THE PROTEIN MY BODY NEEDS IF I GO ON THE HCG DIET & CAN ONLY HAVE 500 CALORIES/DAY.
FACT: 300 CALORIES OF PROTEIN ON AVERAGE PER DAY IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT YOUR BODY’S PROTEIN NEEDS.
The body does require calories for energy and protein is used as building blocks to continually sustain us. The HCG Diet requires you to eat around 200grams of a protein per day, depending on the food. This can also be translated into total calories. A total of 200 calories of protein is sufficient to support our body’s protein needs. Therefore, adequate protein intake can be provided by this diet if you follow the our HCG Diet protocol.
MYTH 3:
HCG INJECTIONS ARE THE BEST HCG DIET TREATMENT
FACT: DROPS CAN BE JUST AS EFFECTIVE, BUT AT A FRACTION OF THE COST.
Both drop and injection have proven to be successful in helping to lose weight and naturally reshape their bodies, but there are definitely some pros and cons to consider. The advantages of using an HCG injection instead of drops is that the treatment goes directly into your bloodstream and only has to be administered once a day. For those who rather not have to give themselves HCG injections, the HCG sublingual drops may be the better choice. They have shown to be just as effective for some people as the injections without the pain and inconvenience of needles. HCG Injections can cost up wards of $800 per round as opposed to around $100 for drops
MYTH 4:
IF YOU CAN HANDLE SKIPPING GORGE (OR “LOAD”) DAYS, YOU’LL ACHIEVE RESULTS FASTER.
FACT: IT IS 100% NECESSARY TO BUILD THE FAT STORES YOUR BODY NEEDS TO NOT GO INTO STARVATION MODE
During the HCG diet, our bodies continue to burn the same amount of calories, or more, as they would on any normal day. But because you are eating just 500 calories a day, your body looks to get the calories from someplace else. This is where the stored fat comes in. Your body can then take the other calories that it needs from the fat reserves, which is what allows you to lose such a significant amount of weight.
MYTH 5:
THE HCG DIET IS A ONE-TIME WEIGHT LOSS FIX.
FACT: THE HCG DIET REQUIRES A LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
As with any other weight loss regimen, HCG will not fix your weight forever. You must be disciplined to establish and maintain personal fitness goals. Going back to your old lifestyle could mean gaining back the weight you lost, which is why you must establish a new lifestyle to maintain your new and improved body. On the final stage of the HCG Diet, know as maintenance you will learn how much in terms of calories you can eat to maintain your new body.
MYTH 6:
ANYTHING THAT GETS RESULTS SO QUICKLY IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
FACT: FAST RESULTS ARE WHAT MAKE THIS SO SUCCESSFUL. LIFESTYLE CHANGES ARE REQUIRED, BUT HCG IS THE BOOST MANY INDIVIDUALS NEED.
One of the toughest parts about losing weight is just getting started. Many people feel that if they could just get a good jump start on losing weight, they would feel more motivated to stick with a diet or exercise routine. They just need to see some progress, preferably sooner than later. The HCG diet and the lifestyle change it requires do just that, with our shortest program being only 23 days. With results showing in the firs 3-4 days.
