HCG Diet Rules: Phase 1

Brian Connole

With so much information referencing Phase 1 of the HCG Diet, people seem to get quite confused about what this particular phase is actually about.

So before I continue on with the HCG Diet Rules for Phase 1, let me just clarify what exactly phase 1 is.

It has come to my attention that a large number of people have been led to believe that Phase one of the HCG Diet is the Phase in which you would do the 500 Calorie Diet, and that's fine.

However, those people might be a little confused when they start looking for information online regarding the weight loss part of the diet. That's because the 500 Calorie Diet is mostly referred to as Phase 2. I know, shocking isn't it.

So What Is Phase 1 And What Is It Even For?

HCG Diet Phase 1 is actually more of a prep phase than anything else. It is mainly used for getting your mind and body fully prepared for what comes next ... The VLCD.

And although this part of the diet is not required in order to have a successful round, it is however highly recommended. It's also said that doing this phase will ultimately help you to keep the weight off after the diet ends. Here are the rules that one must follow for Phase 1.

HCG Diet Rules: Phase 1

Rule #1 Drink one full glass of water immediately after waking up in the morning. Spring or bottled water is best. But if nothing else, drink filtered water.

Rule #2 Drink a minimum of 1/2 Gallon of water throughout the day. Again, Spring or bottled water is best. But if nothing else, drink filtered water.

Rule #3 Go on daily walks. Try waling at a slow and steady pace for one hour per day.

For 6 to 8 weeks before your Gorge Days and the 500 Calorie Diet begins, aka Phase 2, do as many things on the list above as you possibly can.
