Following HCG Protocol
Posted By on November 22, 2009
So you’ve heard of HCG. Of course…you’re desperate to get some, but do you know the basic HCG protocol? You’ve obviously heard about the fabulous average weight loss results, but you should at least know the very minimal basics before you jump on the band wagon. And believe me…you’ll jump on this band wagon. Who doesn’t want to access 1 to 2 pounds per day of weight loss?
And it makes the average weight loss numbers even better when you hear the length of the HCG diet. There are a few choices when it comes to the length of the program you take on, but all of them are relatively short. The length of the program would depend upon your ideal body weight, your current weight, your personal weight loss goals, etc.
There are only a few things that you need to know (and adhere to) when it comes to HCG protocol. First is that you have to take your homeopathic HCG weight loss formula religiously. (Through the HCG Diet Direct’s program you’d have to take it 3 times per day by oral drops). How you take it depends upon who you’re working with, but the point is that the weight loss hinges upon regular HCG intake. Don’t skip it or miss it.
Simple HCG protocol also includes strict food restrictions. It’s actually easier to focus on the foods you are allowed to eat while on the diet rather than the foods that are restricted. The “restricted” list is practically infinite while the “allowed” foods are under 10 items if you don’t count beverages, seasonings, etc. It’s extremely limited; that’s the whole point.
Another vital element of the HCG protocol is the calorie limitation. You’re going to have to control your portions. Even if you are only eating foods on the approved list you still have to eat small amounts of those approved foods. You’ll probably have to actually measure your portions. You’ll probably feel like you should get to eat more. But lucky for you one of the benefits of the HCG is that you won’t have hunger pains. So you’ll be able to function even though you actually only get to eat 500 calories per day.
And that’s it; that’s the basic HCG protocol. You’ve got no excuses. It’s easy as pie. Oops! Don’t think about pie. It’s definitely not on your list of approved foods. Think about apples…there you go! That’s an approved food.

With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
