Colon Cleanse Recipe (To Use Before Starting the HCG Protocol)

April 24, 2009

Some believe it is important to undergo a colon cleanse regiment before starting the HCG Protocol because there are toxins and other environmental contaminates, hormones, and other impurities in our food supply and diet that didn’t exist, and therefore were not a factor, when Dr. Simeons was administering the HCG Diet to his patients decades ago.

Those selling Homeopathic HCG practically INSIST one undergoes a colon-cleansing before starting the protocol, perhaps because the Homeopathic HCG isn’t really effective?  See a related post here:  Homeopathic HCG Scam

Most people that do the HCG Diet Protocol forego a colon cleanse since Dr. Simeons never included it in his protocol, and therefore most believe it isn’t necessary. From the results people get on the HCG Diet WITHOUT ever doing a colon-cleanse, it seems obvious it isn’t necessary, but what could it hurt?

Many of us have not been eating well for years, so if you want to preface your HCG treatment with a colon cleansing, here’s a recipe with instructions you can use that works great:

20 Minutes before your first meal of the day, mix the following together:

• 6 oz. Organic Apple Juice
• 6 oz. Filtered/Pure Water
• 1 tablespoon Liquid Chlorophyll
• 1 tablespoon Concentrated Aloe Vera Juice
• 1 tablespoon Hydrated Bentonite
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium Husk Powder (or Hulls, but Powder mixes better)

Mix well – you can use a Mason Jar with Lid and shake it vigorously.

Drink the entire concoction within a few minutes.   If you leave it longer it will thicken like pudding.

Complete the above every day for 2-4 weeks. After about 2 weeks, you should prepare yourself for some toxic sludge to be eliminated in your bowel movement.

Send us a picture (JUST KIDDING).

Keeping the Weight Off after HCG Dieting

November 6, 2008

There are more benefits to the HCG Diet than just rapid fat loss.  The very thing that caused your obesity, the hypothalamus that regulates your metabolism, is ‘reset’ to function normally (whereas before, your system was off-balance and causing your body to create abnormal fat stores).

So, when you finish the HCG Diet, it is CRUCIAL you follow Dr. Simeons protocol completely, which includes a few weeks of eating a special diet so as to stabilize your new metabolic set point.

Many people that lose the weight and body fat with HCG put it back on simply because they skip  this crucial step.

A relevant quote from a related article:

The Hcg Diet: What Happens After Treatments Stop?

Your Appetite After the HCG Diet

After you stop receiving HCG injections, you will likely find that
your appetite has changed. While you are receiving the HCG injections,
you will be following a low calorie diet. This will help your stomach
become used to eating smaller quantities of food. At the same time, you
will have made drastic changes to your eating behavior that will stay
with you for life. Since your body has made such major changes, such as
those in your hypothalamus, it will also continue to be more effective
and will help you keep your appetite lower.

Making Changes to Your Exercise Routine

In order to maintain the results you gained from your HCG
injections, it is also beneficial to implement a regular exercise
routine. You don’t have to go overboard with your exercise routine. In
fact, simply fitting fifteen minutes of cardio into your daily routine
should be good enough to help you keep your new figure. You might also
want to engage in yoga or any other activity that you enjoy that will
help you get your heart pumping. Since your hypothalamus was reset with
the help of your HCG injections, you will find that your metabolism is
more efficient. This means your exercise routine will be more effective
after you have undergone the HCG injection therapy.

So, in addition to following a special diet for several weeks after your HCG treatment, get on an exercise routine to keep your new figure and you can preserve the results you got from your HCG Diet.

HCG Diet Foods – Apples and Strawberries

November 3, 2008

One of the requirements when taking HCG for weight loss is a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), which means eating 500-600 calories per day, far below even the most modest caloric requirements of the smallest, lightest people (but if you are doing the HCG Diet, you probably aren’t small and light anyway).

People think “There is NO WAY I could survive eating only 500 calories per day” and in truth, they are right, except when accompanied by daily HCG injections.  HCG allows your body to burn the otherwise inaccessible ‘abnormal fat’ for caloric needs, and many people feel 500 calories is TOO MUCH to consume – they simply have no desire to eat because every pound of fat contains 3500 calories, and HCG triggers burning between 1/2 to 2 pounds of fat per day, effectively providing all the calories the body needs – the food is simply to maintain nutrition (which fat calories don’t provide).

That being said, some people have severe food cravings – everyone reacts differently.  The following insight taking from Trudi’s HCG Journal Blog is a great HCG Diet Foods tip that may help YOU:

“strawberries are my lifesaver!

Just wanted to post this out there before I forgot. My body LOVES
strawberries. I seem to lose better & have less issues with
cravings & deviations! I realized today that I started protocol
during strawberry picking season & I did very well my first round.

These last could of months have been apple season and … well…. I’ve
not done well at all. Hunger all the time & I had a lot of
cravings.

So I stopped the apples & decided to spend the $$ on strawberries and I can go ALL day without eating much! YES!!

I’ve
noticed there are others on the hcgjourney group that have the same
thing happening to them. Some people are the opposite.. can eat apples
but not strawberries.”
