HCG Diet - Frequently Asked Questions About Loading Days
By
Marcus G McReynolds
Many people are currently starting the HCG diet and most are new to this diet and have many questions. I have compiled several of these questions in relation to HCG homeopathic drops regarding the loading days. The answers contained in this article should help dieters become more familiar with HCG dieting and loading days.
I am on day 4 of the HCG diet and have not lost any weight yet. I am closely following the instructions and did not have any issues with the loading days. What do I need to do?
Not losing any weight after having been on the diet for 4 days is not typical. I assume you drink plenty of water throughout the days and have an accurate way to measure your weight on a daily basis. If you truly do not see any weight loss, you can increase the drops to 15 drops 3 times per day. One obstacle that may keep you from losing weight may be an underlying medical condition. Some medical conditions disallow you to lose weight, even on HCG. In my opinion, it would certainly be beneficial to complete a medical check-up before you continue with the diet.
Why do I need to load up on fatty foods at beginning of the HCG diet? Also, what is the difference between loading for 2 and 3 days?
That is an excellent question. As you begin to take HCG, it is telling your body to begin utilizing locked away fat cells and release the nutrients into your blood stream. By eating fatty foods during the first part of the diet, your body recognizes that too much fat is being supplied to your system and it will attempt to expel more fat from your stores. In simple terms, you are setting the rate that your body is going to release fat into your system. Depending on how long you are dieting for determines how many days you should load. If you are only completing a 21 day diet, then you should load for 2 days. If you chose to do the 40 day protocol, then you will need to load for 3 days.
The last time I did the HCG diet, the last week and a half the weight loss process slowed down quite a bit even though I was following a good HCG diet manual closely. I would like to lose about 40 pounds and I have lost 7 pounds a few weeks before I started my actual diet so that might have effected it. Can you direct me to any info that addresses the controversy of the 2 loading days? I must say I felt rather ill on those days as I am not used to eating that much fat and sugar.
The loading days always sound like fun but dieters find out quickly that it can very well be overwhelming. The process of loading or gorging do play an important role in your diet however. Dr. Simeons was very clear about the necessity to load properly; the focus of the loading is to eat fatty foods. Sugary foods are not as important. In overwhelming your body with fats, your body 'feels' a need to purge the excess fat form your system thus setting the stage for the rest of the diet.
Human chorionic gonadotropin sends signals to your body prompting it to release a tremendous amount of locked away fat cells. If you go to any of the blogs of forums on the internet, you will find that they all encourage you to follow Dr. Simeons' counsel of loading properly.
As for your concern about the plateau with the diet - each person's body reacts differently to HCG. Some build a natural resistance to it faster than others. Keep in mind that if you hit plateau and cannot get past it, you can always increase the drops from 10 drops 3 times a day to 15 drops 3 times a day. Make sure that you finish your monthly cycle before you begin the next protocol. Some people start while they are on their cycle or right before it and their results are not as satisfying.
