5 Simple Tips For Maintenance Phase Success

5 key things to remember when beginning Phase 3 of the HCG Diet...


1. Understanding the Maintenance Phase:

The maintenance phase typically lasts three weeks and is designed to stabilize your weight. During this phase you will gradually increase your caloric intake while still avoiding starches and sugars. It's important to follow the guidelines closely to prevent yourself from gaining back all of the weight you've worked so hard to lose.


2. Focus on Whole, Nutrient-Rich Foods:

While you may be tempted to return to your pre-hCG diet eating habits, it's crucial to continue making smart, health-conscious choices. Emphasize whole foods, including lean proteins, healthy fats, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Incorporating nutrient-rich foods will provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals.


3. Portion Control:

Maintaining portion control is key to preventing weight regain. Pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues and aim to eat until satisfied, not stuffed. Consider using smaller plates and bowls to visually trick your mind into feeling satisfied with less food. Additionally, take your time while eating and thoroughly chew each bite. This allows you to give yourself time to feel more full opposed to eating quickly.


4. Regular Physical Activity:

Exercise plays a vital role in maintaining your weight loss and overall health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Engaging in activities that you enjoy, such as yoga, walking or swimming will make it easier to stick with your routine. Remember, staying active not only helps maintain your weight but also improves your mood, energy levels, and overall fitness.


5. Stay Hydrated:

Water is your best friend during the maintenance phase. It helps regulate your body's functions, aids digestion, and can even help control appetite. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day. Herbal teas and infused water can also be great alternatives to help stay hydrated.


Additionally, be sure to weigh yourself daily. If you do happen to gain more than 2 pounds of your Phase 2 end weight, simply skip all foods until 6PM the same day that you notice the fluctuation.

Remember, the maintenance phase of the HCG diet is a very crucial period that determines long-term success. By adopting healthy eating habits, practicing portion control, engaging in regular physical activity, and staying hydrated, you can confidently navigate this phase and maintain all of your weight loss achievements.

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.

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
