Starting The HCG Diet After Having A Baby: How Long Should You Wait?

Most Women Want To Get Rid Of Their Extra Pregnancy Weight Right Away - But How Long Should You Wait Until Using The HCG Diet?

We all know that carrying a baby for 9 months can dramatically change the appearance of a woman's body. This physical transformation can have a huge affect on a woman's self esteem as well as her mental state.
HCG Diet Breast Feeding
So after a woman finally gives birth, it's understandable that she would want to lose weight and get back into shape as soon as humanly possible. And these days a lot of them turn to the HCG Diet for results. However, this can pose a bit of a problem if she is breast feeding her baby.

Now we all know that there are countless benefits to giving a baby breast milk opposed to formula. In fact, unless the baby has an allergy to breast milk, nursing is almost always the healthier choice. This is because of all the nutrients that is passed on to the baby through the mother's milk. And to make sure that the baby is getting everything it needs, the mother should be on a well balanced diet and eating plenty of food.

In fact, babycenter.com says that women who are nursing should be eating at least 500 Calories more than women who are not. So unfortunately, using a diet that allows you to eat a total of just 500 Calories throughout the entire day is probably not a good idea until you are no longer nursing your baby.

And if you are breast feeding, you may have the upper hand when it comes to getting rid of that baby fat. Believe it or not, there are some women who actually lose their pregnancy weight while breast feeding.

But it's important to mention that breast feeding isn't the only reason to put off doing the HCG Diet Program. There are actually a couple of other good reasons for not doing the HCG Diet immediately after giving birth.

Another reason to push back your HCG start date is immunity. Because pregnant women produce so much of the HCG Hormone naturally, if you were to start using HCG for weight loss purposes you would likely build up an immunity.

So How Long After Having A Baby Must You Wait Until You Can Begin The HCG Diet?

There are actually a couple different ways to answer to this question:

1. If you are nursing your baby, you should wait approximately 3 or 4 weeks after you stop breast feeding, until you consider starting the HCG Diet. This is assuming of coarse that you breast fed your baby for 6 months or longer. You should NOT do the HCG Diet while nursing.

2. As you know, pregnancy causes a woman's hormones to go crazy. So giving your body ample time to recover and start getting back to normal before doing the HCG Diet is important. I would say to wait 8 to 9 months if at all possible. But if you simply cannot wait that long, make sure you give it no less than 5 or 6 months before you begin the diet.

Of coarse as with most important issues, there are many different theories on this particular topic. I have come up with these time frames after doing my own research and evaluating various "expert" opinions. You are welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions if you'd like.

NOTE: if you want an all natural way to slim down immediately after giving birth, you may want to consider trying out the It Works Body Wrapsthat I have mentioned in previous posts.


How long do you think is enough time to wait after giving birth before starting the HCG Diet Plan?

Would you like to write an article for the HCG Diet 411 Blog? These days, there are people all over the world that are using the HCG Diet. Whether it's good or bad, each one of these people have a story to tell about their experience. Are you one of these people? If so, I would love to hear what it is you have to say; and I'm sure my blog readers would too. Not a professional blogger? - Don't worry, you don't have to be. If you can write a letter, you can write a blog post. See, I really want to get HCG Diet users talking about how they've done with the diet so far - Because even though a doctor can tell you how the diet works and what to expect from it, only a handful of them have actually done it. Which means they can't tell you on a personal level what you will experience. Now don't get me wrong, most doctors are very knowledgeable about the HCG Diet and they usually have valuable information to share with their patients. I just th...

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...
