12 Reasons People Gain Weight During Phase 3 Maintenance

Are You Gaining Weight During The HCG Maintenance Phase And Want To Know Why?

Weighing SelfAfter completing an entire round of the HCG 500 Calorie Diet with HCG Shots, Pellets or Drops, you will start Phase 3, which is also known as Maintenance.

The Maintenance Phase was specifically designed to help you Stabilize and Maintain your new lower weight. If you did Phase 2 correctly, Maintenance should be fairly easy.

However, if you ran into some problems or found it hard to stick to the HCG Protocol, Phase 3 might be a bit more difficult. But be that as it may, most people will still be able to successfully stabilize and maintain during this phase despite any problems they experienced during the VLCD.

The most difficult situation to try and deal with is when you continuously gain more than the 2 pound limit during Maintenance, especially when you don't understand why.

12 Reasons You May Be Gaining Weight During Phase 3 Maintenance:


  1. Eating Sugars and Starches during the first 3 weeks of Maintenance.
  2. Using artificial sweeteners other than Stevia or Truvia.
  3. Eating out at fast food restaurants.
  4. Trans Fats.
  5. Not drinking enough water.
  6. Skipping Breakfast.
  7. Eating right before you go to bed.
  8. Portions are too big.
  9. Drinking Diet Soda.
  10. Having seconds with every meal.
  11. Cheating on your HCG Steak Day.
  12. You didn't do Phase 2 correctly


Now these are just some of the reasons for why you haven't been able to properly stabilize your weight during Phase 3 - Of coarse it could be something different altogether.

12 Things You Should Do To Help Stabilize Your Weight During The Maintenance Phase:


  1. Drink at least 1/2 Gallon of water everyday.
  2. Take daily walks.
  3. Exercise often.
  4. Get plenty of sleep.
  5. Eat breakfast everyday.
  6. Take a good Multi-Vitamin.
  7. Eat 1 to 2 Apples daily.
  8. Eat Grapefruit often.
  9. Eat organic foods.
  10. Drink Green Tea.
  11. Eat plenty of fiber.
  12. Use good portion control.


Up until this point you have been in weight loss mode. Now it's time to make sure that you don't start going back to the old habits that led you to need the HCG Diet Plan in the first place.

5 Tips For HCG Maintenance To Help You Change Your Old Behaviors:


  1. Don't eat in bed.
  2. Don't eat in front of the TV.
  3. Sit down at the table and relax during meals.
  4. Thoroughly chew your food.
  5. Make sure you are only eating when you are hungry and not just bored.


Of coarse you want to make sure that you are utilizing the HCG Steak Day if you do happen to gain more than 2 pounds over your ending weight as of the last day of taking the HCG Drops, Pellets or Injections.

Another Useful Tip For Phase 3:

Throughout the 500 Calorie Diet you are strongly encouraged to keep an HCG Journal for various different reasons ... To track your weight loss, your weight gains, what you are eating, if and when you cheat ... But why not keep a journal for Phase 3 as well.

Keeping a Phase 3 journal could be helpful if you are having a difficult time stabilizing and maintaining your new weight - That way you would be able to go back and possibly find out what is causing your issue.

And if you find yourself getting discouraged, just try to remember that everyone is different, just because some things work well for one person doesn't mean they will necessarily work the same for you. So pay attention to your body and do what you feel is going be best for you as an individual.

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads

What To Watch Out For When Starting Phase 3

During The First Half Of Phase 3 You Should Really Be Careful Of This... When Phase 2 of the HCG Diet is coming to an end, you are instructed by the Protocol to stop using the HCG Hormone, but you should still continue on with the 500 Calorie Diet for an additional 3 days. This is so that the HCG Hormone has a little bit of time to work its way out of your system. Otherwise, if you just simply started eating a higher amount of calories with the HCG still in your body, it could possibly cause you to gain. That is why cheating on the HCG Diet, even just a little bit, can be a huge issue. But even after those three days of not taking HCG, you still need to be cautious going into Phase 3 Maintenance. The Main Thing To Watch Out For When Starting Phase 3: The most important thing you should be watching out for during the first half of P3 is simply the foods you eat. I know, you already knew this right. But really, even though most people know to stay far away from sugars and st

How To Mix Your HCG Injections

If Your Interested In Knowing The Proper Way To Mix Your HCG Injections, Take A Look At The Video Below... In the past I have been asked for a more detailed explanation on how to mix your HCG for injections. So when I came across this video today on You Tube I just had to share with you. You'll see in this video how to mix 5000IU of HCG. But be sure to pay close attention to the little notes that pop up throughout the video. These notes will tell you how much you will need to inject for your exact dose. Mixing Instructions For HCG Injections If you plan on doing one round of 40 HCG Shots , it would be a good idea to get two 5000IU vials of the HCG Hormone rather than one 10000IU vial. Then, when the first 5000IU runs out you would simply mix the second. This way you will ensure that your HCG stays fresh for the full 40 days. However, if you do it this way you will most likely have a little bit of liquid HCG left over when your round is complete. But it's better to h
