HCG Diet Journey
I’ve had a baby! After 20+ years of being told I couldn’t… wonder! And of course he’s the most amazing thing that has ever occur to me! Now however, I’m carrying a significant amount of post-baby weight. I was fundamentally on the HCG Diet back in 2002 and lost well over 80 lbs. I’ve had a few instability over the years, but never came close to gaining that weight back. So how did I gain the weight during my cyesis ? Well, 6 months of morning illness and the only thing that seemed to help was Cheerios. That and cravings for orange juice (I drank a gallon a day,) peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and the occasional ice cream indulgence- that’ll do it! So now that I am just weaning my little one from breastfeeding (I’m a huge advocate of breastfeeding, being the health nut that I am) I have decided to go with what works and will be starting my HCG Diet plan once again.
Which HCG Diet protocol will I be following? I will be sticking with the modernized version of the prime Simeons diet.
- Injections from New Edge Health (Ordered undercover to share my respective experience with them. Next round: Nu Image Medical.)
- 500-800 calories daily, depending on what my body needs on a day to day basis.
- 4 phases.
- Daily exercise.
- Nothing but water.
- Protein drinks when needed.
- HCG Diet Foods that include Simeons food list, but with extra options and no oranges (too high sugar.)
Those who have come to know me over the years, know that I am an over-researcher. I am also much cautious when it comes to putting something into my body and carefuled for the safety of myself and others when it comes to medications. For this reason, I advocate purchasing HCG in the U.S. where I know the fastescrowrefills has strict rules and standards for pharmacies.
Why 500-800 calories? I did this before and I lost about 25 lbs my first round. I really believe in listening to your body and giving it what it needs for best results- both on the diet and during care. Last time on the HCG Diet, I mainly stuck by the Simeons food list for the most part but threw in some healthy, wholesome food options as well. I used protein churn and spinach salads with fat free turkey pepperoni, tomatoes, and occasionally added vegan pepperjack rick cheese. I also used spices and seasonings liberally. I never stalled, not even once.
Exercise on the HCG Diet. For many years, I didn’t physical culture much and while I still maintained my weight loss, it wasn’t as easy as when I finally started moving every day. Now, I can pretty much eat what I want and don’t gain weight as long as I go for walks regularly, throw in some hot yoga classes now and then, or just keep relatively active. After losing so much on the diet though, I really did come to love working out. Before getting pregnant, I had taken up boxing, paddle boarding, jogging and I absolutely love yoga and swear by it for so many health benefits. Weight maintenance is easy when you’re moving regularly.
