What You Need To Know About HCG Allowed Food

By Angela Turner


The HCG diet is currently taking the world by storm. At first glance, this seems like a very rigorous program and one that takes an incredible amount of willpower. In reality, however, there is a lot of HCG allowed food that dieters can munch on, even as they continue to drop incredible amounts of weight. It is important to note, however, that planning is actually very important to this process. Following is everything you need to know before getting started with this popular fat loss plan.

Dieters are able to succeed on this regimen due to the fact that they are receiving regular injections of a special, pregnancy hormone that actually curbs their appetites and expedites their metabolic functioning. As such, they are able to eat a lot less and burn more fats and calories throughout the day. This is why there is very little willpower needed. The injections will keep you from suffering intense hunger pangs even as you drastically cut your food portions.

On some very stringent days on this diet, people are required to eat just 500 calories for a full, 24-hour period. This is a significant reduction in daily caloric intake especially when compared to the normal dietary recommendations. Even when people are on very strict diets people usually are advised to eat at least 1200 calories.

The poses an very obvious issue given that it is very hard to get sufficient nutrients when consuming such small quantities. This is all the more true of protein. A lot of foods that are sufficiently high in protein are also very high in fat. Should you choose to eat these things to get sufficient protein, you will have to exceed 500 calories.

This is why meal planning is so essential. During days of very limited eating, you want to choose your food with great care. This will allow you to adhere to the stringent calorie restrictions while ensuring that you are not depriving your body of anything that it absolutely needs.

Getting sufficient amounts of protein is vital when maintaining a strict, deprivation diet of this type. If you do not get enough protein, you can develop the issue called muscle wasting. With muscle wasting, your body has to use its muscle stores to convert them into energy, which will gradually decrease your overall lean muscle mass.

To avoid this issue, you should consider the way in which strict vegans eat. They do not consume animal products of any type and they are still able to obtain sufficient protein. Moreover many of these individuals are able to do so without having to pay for and use costly supplements.

One very easy way to mimic this successful practice is by consuming large quantities of leafy greens. Green vegetables possess a rich array of minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients and health-supporting antioxidants. They are also amazing sources of protein that remain low in fat and calories. You should know, however that all proteins that are plant-based are incomplete, and thus, you must be able to strategically pair them to compensate for this known deficiency.
