800 Calorie HCG Diet
The 800 calorie HCG Diet has replaced the original 500 calorie protocol developed by Dr. Simeons back in the 1950’s. Even with the addition of 300 more calories and breakfast every day, you will still be able to lose up to a pound or more a day during your six weeks of HCG injections. Do not confuse this with the so-called homeopathic HCG drops on the market. They are not the same as HCG injections nor will they produce the same long-lasting results.
The new 800 calorie HCG Diet recognizes the fact that many people were experiencing headaches, weakness, irritability, and fatigue consuming only 500 calories a day. A person who was used to eating a healthy breakfast in the morning before starting a busy day at work would often feel light-headed with only a cup of coffee or tea to start his or her day. All of that has changed with the introduction of the additional morning meal.
By following the 800 calorie HCG Diet protocol as prescribed, people are still losing as much weight as before – the difference is in how they feel and perform. They have more energy, greater focus, are happier, and not hungry. If anything, many people tell us they have to force themselves to consume all 800 calories each day.
How does 800 calorie HCG Diet work to rid the body of excess fat?
By decreasing the caloric intake so that it is less than the amount of energy that the person is expending, the body looks inward to find fuel to use. In the past, an individual who cut calories without using HCG injections would notice the loss of muscle tissue instead of fat. That is because the brain, sensing starvation, holds on to its fat stores until the last possible minute. It will seek out calories stored elsewhere, such as in the muscles, for fuel. HCG signals the brain that the body is not hungry, tricking it into thinking more food has been consumed. This lets it release the previously stored fat for use.
800 Calorie HCG Diet Meal Plan
The foods allowed on 800 calorie HCG Diet are the same as before. The biggest difference lies in the fact that you will now eat breakfast. This can be as simple as an egg, a portion of fruit, and your morning tea or coffee, or it can be a fruit smoothie from one of our recipes. We do recommend including an egg or small amount of protein at breakfast.
To simplify your process of weight loss, we provide an 800 calorie HCG Diet food list as part of your meal plan. This will simplify grocery shopping as you can take it with you to the store. If something is not shown on the list – do not buy it.
People frequently ask how to do the 800 calorie HCG Diet. It is really very simple – stick to the prescribed meal plan for snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you only feel satisfied by having dessert after dinner, you may want to save one of your fruit portions and make a baked apple to eat in the evening.
Our 800 calorie HCG Diet recipes incorporate your protein and vegetable portions to help make mealtime easy. We do recommend preparing some the week’s meals ahead of time all at once. This reduces the risk of time-crunched take out cheating.
What to Expect from the HCG 800 Calorie Diet
Knowing what to expect from your 800 calorie HCG Diet results is as important as knowing how to get started and what you can eat. Do not go into this expecting to lose fifteen to twenty pounds in one week, even if you are used to eating 3000 calories every day. That amount of weight loss is unrealistic and dangerous.
Your 800 calorie HCG Diet success will come at a rate of about a pound a day. Some days you may not see the scale move, and other days it may show a pound and a half to two pounds. This is normal. You want to average your weight out at the end of every week. Expect to see a drop of about 5 to 10 pounds a week, at most. This will also depend on your starting weight and how much you move around. Although exercising is not allowed due to the low caloric intake, yoga and walking are highly recommended to help burn more calories.
