Vacationing During The Maintenance Phase Of The HCG Diet

Should You Vacation If You're On Phase 3 Of The HCG Diet?

Vacationing on HGC
Vacationing during Phase 2 of the HCG Diet is almost never a good idea, and should be avoided if at all possible. It is just simply too difficult for a person to try and follow the strict 500 calorie protocol.

Not to mention that most people are forced to eat out almost everyday while on vacation. Unfortunately, there are not too many other options, that is unless you have a place to cook your meals.

But that's during the 500 Calorie Diet, what about the Maintenance Phase?

Well, a vacation during Maintenance is not completely out of the question. However, I would try to wait until after you start introducing sugars and starches back into your diet. This would make things much less stressful for you and everyone you're vacationing with.

Because even though this part of the diet is not as restricted, some argue that it is even more important than the weight loss itself; and to be completely honest, I don't totally disagree.

Truthfully, the Maintenance Phase can help determine whether or not you keep the weight off. If you do it right, you may never have to diet again -- Do it wrong and you just might find yourself doing another round of the 500 Calorie Diet.

Now if you do decide that you still want to vacation during the Maintenance Phase of the HCG Diet, here are a few things that might help you out.

Vacationing During The Maintenance Phase Of The HCG Diet

  • Wait until after the first 3 weeks of the Maintenance Phase before going on vacation.
     
  • Don't eat a lot of sugars or starches.
     
  • Practice good portion control.
     
  • No going back for seconds.
     
  • Try to prepare your own meals when possible.
     
  • Be mindful of the places you eat at and try to find out what they use to prepare your food.
     
  • When in doubt just order salad.
     
  • But most importantly, stay within 2 pounds of your Phase 2 ending weight. If you do go over, make sure to do a Steak Day.

And remember, losing weight is only half of it -- Maintaining it is where the real work comes in.

Have you thought about going out of town on Phase 3 (Maintenance) but changed your mind because of the diet?

Cheese On The HCG Diet - Is It Allowed?

Is cheese one of the items on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Menu? Anyone who has read the HCG Diet Protocol knows that there are a lot of different rules to follow. On top of it all, you have to remember which foods you can and cannot eat. However, what people usually remember more than anything is that list of foods you can have is much smaller than the foods that you can't. Still, it can be quite a task to memorize that list in such a short period of time.
