If You Have To Deal With Peer Pressure To Cheat On The HCG Diet You'll Want To Read This... While on the HCG Weight Loss Diet, or any other diet for that matter, the urge to cheat can sometimes be hard to resist. Although your appetite is much smaller than you would think it should be on this Low Cal Diet, you will still have to fight the urge to eat all of the unhealthy foods that you have been living on up until this point. But what makes the temptation even harder is when you constantly have family, friends, or coworkers tempting you all the more. I mean it's bad enough that you are eating a mere 500 Calories per day - But when you're surrounded by people eating delicious treats in front of you, maybe offering you a bite of their forbidden food, or bad mouthing your diet regimen, it makes it that much harder to continue on without a slip up. So if people know that you are on a diet and trying to better yourself, why would they want to temp you? They don...

Everyone Has At Least One Downfall, Do You Know What Yours Will Be? As human beings we are all creatures of habit. This means that we usually develop a certain pattern of routines that stick with us for a long period of time - Sometimes we even develop a pattern that sticks with us for our entire lives. For some people trying to break these habits after starting the HCG Diet Plan is somewhat hard, if not down right impossible. The sad part is that if you are unable to somehow break yourself of these habits it usually ends up being your downfall. This is usually where the real work comes in -- Because depending on what your habits are, can determine how hard it may be to break yourself of these vices. It also depends on how long you have been "Hooked". For example, the biggest vice in the world for me right now would be without a doubt Red Bull -- I absolutely love it. And I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I have spent hundreds of dollars in one single mont...

What Happens If You Cheat On An HCG Diet Apple Day? An HCG Apple Day is performed when your weight stalls and doesn't start back up again on its own during Phase 2 of the HCG Diet. This is known as a Plateau or as some like to call it, an HCG Stall . But whatever its name is, having your weight loss slow down or stop completely while on the HCG Diet can be down right infuriating. Another irritating aspect of these weight loss stalls is the fact that they can be caused by any number of different things. For example, a few of those reasons might be:  Not following Dr. Simeons HCG Protocol close enough, u sing products that contain oil, or even n ot getting enough sleep can cause a person to possibly plateau. However, I would have to say that the most common reason for an HCG Stall is cheating. But no matter what the cause is, an Apple Day is probably the best known way to break up your Plateau. But What If You End Up Cheating On The HCG Apple Day? W...

Have You Ever Wished You Could Just Get A Do-Over And Start Fresh? You know that old cliche part in movies when 2 people get off on the wrong foot, and one of them turns to the other and says " Let's Start Over, Shall We ". Then they shake hands and reintroduce themselves ; and from that point on they seem to get along as if nothing ever happened. I sometimes wish life was like a movie in that sense - For instance, when you mess up on the HCG Diet. I'm willing to bet that almost every one of us, at one time or another, has cheated or done something to threaten their weight loss success. Whether it's eating something that is not listed on the HCG Protocol, having twice as much food as allowed, or you make the choice to drink a diet coke every morning - We all usually wish we hadn't done it. Well, if there is a time for starting over and forgetting your mistakes, today is that day. The New Year is time to forgive, forget, reflect and to become i...

What If You Cheat On The HCG Diet Just A Little Bit, That's Okay, Right? Time and time again I hear people talking about how they recently cheated but that it wasn't a bad cheat, it was just a small snack. Unfortunately, it doesn't really matter how big the cheat was, it's still cheating. On the other hand, if a person cheats and feels so bad about it that they don't ever do it again, then I guess that's kind of a good thing. However, that is usually never the case -- For the most part, once someone opens the door to cheating on the HCG Diet , they seem to get more and more comfortable doing it to where it's almost a common thing. Then there are those people who actually think it's okay to cheat sometimes as long as it's just a little cheat. But if you think about it, a bunch of little cheats is basically the same thing as one big cheat. Now don't get me wrong here, I know how hard it can be for people on the HCG Diet, I've b...

Did The Easter Bunny Come Hopping Through Your House This Year? Well it's Easter again - For most of us this means that the whole family will be gathering around the table to eat many of the different foods forbidden by the HCG Protocol. Of coarse this is usually after we wake up with our children to watch their eyes light up when they see a basket full of toys as well as a wide selection of delicious treats. Needless to say the Easter Holiday can be torture for those people on the HCG Low Cal Diet. For me personally, I find it next to impossible to resist the legendary Cadbury Creme Eggs. Although they make a few different flavors, I am still in love with the originals. I'm sure you know the ones I am talking about, they have an egg shaped chocolate shell with a gooey white and yellow creme center. They used to only make an appearance around the Easter Holiday -- However, I have been seeing them more and more throughout the year. But no matter what your temptatio...

So You Cheated On Thanksgiving And Now You've Hit A Plateau! It seems that during the Thanksgiving holiday we had many HCG Dieters stray away from the 500 Calorie Protocol . However, this comes as no surprise to me. In fact, you might remember me writing about all of the emails and comments from people telling me how they plan on cheating during Thanksgiving dinner. None the less, these people are reaching out for help. Apparently, for some people, their little cheating escapade has caused a bit of a stall in their weight loss. Which has us asking the question... What should you do if your Thanksgiving cheat caused you to plateau? Well as many of you already know there are a number of different plateau breakers that you could try. However, for some people using a traditional plateau breaker may not be enough to correct their stall. Why you ask? Well, it's mainly because of all those calories.

If You Are Going To Cheat On Thanksgiving Day, This Is How You Should Do It... Now don't let the title fool you, I don't ever recommend that a person cheat during the HCG Diet. But after reading some of the emails and comments that I have been getting lately, I know that some of you are bound to cheat during Thanksgiving . In fact, just yesterday I opened an email that went something like this... Hi Brian, I am currently on Phase 2 of the HCG Diet. I have been really good about sticking to the protocol up to this point ... But with Thanksgiving coming up I plan on going off of the diet just for that day. Will this ruin the rest of the diet for me? And what should I do the day after Thanksgiving? Unfortunately, I can't tell someone what will or will not happen to them if they cheat. There are really no guarantees one way or the other. Even cheating just a little can cause a massive stall in your weight loss. However, if you must cheat, you might as well lessen th...

What Affect, If Any, Does Stress Have On Your Weight? When a person uses a diet as restricted as the HCG Diet, things can get pretty stressful at times. And there are a number of things that cause this stress. You might be stressed out that you are not losing weight as fast as you would like. Or maybe you cheated and you are worried about how it will affect your progress on the diet. It may even be something totally unrelated to the diet, something like a past due bill. But what will this unwanted stress do to your weight loss? Well, as some of you may have already guessed, stress can actually cause you to gain weight. Studies have determined that the same gland we are trying to reset by doing the HCG Diet, the Hypothalamus Gland, can cause you to gain weight when you get anxious or stressed out. What happens is , when you are unhappy or upset about something, the Hypothalamus Gland sends out signals and releases chemicals from the brain out to the Adrenal Gland. The Adre...

If You Could Cheat On Your Spouse And Get Away With It, Would You? Cheating on the HCG Weight Loss Diet is a funny thing, some people who cheat one time will hit a plateau and not be able to shake it for days. Then there are others who cheat on a daily basis and still lose weight like nothing happened. Actually, I know a guy who has done the HCG Diet 3 times, and during each round he would drink 1 Liter of diet Dr. Pepper every morning. The crazy thing is, he still lost a ton of weight - In fact, I don't think he plateaued even one time. So if you can cheat and get away with it, is it okay to do it? Now I'm sure you already know what I'm going to say... No you should not cheat! Here's the thing, a big part of the HCG Diet is to change the way that you are doing things - It helps you to eat healthier, fix your bodies metabolism, and reset your Hypothalamus Gland. But if you are cheating on the diet all of the time, how much can it really be helping you...

Soda-Pop on the HCG Diet ... Can you drink just one a day? Now, if you are anything like me, soda is going to be the toughest thing to give up while on the HCG Diet. Truth be told, I used to drink almost 10 sodas per day. I know, that's a ton. The funny thing is, some people don't even consider drinking soda pop cheating. This is what some folks have actually told me. "I haven't cheated at all on the 500 Calorie Diet - But sometimes I do have a Soda" I guess they only think they're cheating if they eat something they're not supposed to have.

So if you are one of these people that tells yourself it's not, deep down you know that every time you take a drink of that syrupy goodness, even though it tastes so crisp and refreshing, you are in fact cheating.

Are you ready for Christmas? - Well I hope so because it's here! With all of the running around, shopping and wrapping, it's very easy to get caught off guard during the Christmas Holiday. But if you are on Phase 2 of the HCG Diet, that is not a position you can afford to be in.

You shouldn't cheat at all on the HCG Weight Loss Diet - But if you do, this is how you should do it... Now let me just start this post by saying, in no way am I condoning cheating on the HCG Diet. Furthermore, I discourage anyone from cheating at all - it can sabotage the diet and everything that you are working toward. Not only is the HCG Diet supposed to help you lose weight, but it can also help you to have a more normal appetite so that you can keep your new-found figure. But if you cheat throughout the entire diet, you are most likely not going to achieve these things. With that being said, most people who cheat on a diet such as this, tend to feel very guilty about doing it. This will sometimes even help them to be more successful on the diet. I also realize that regardless of what I, or anyone else says, people do cheat. So really, the purpose of this post is not to encourage you to cheat, it's more or less meant to help you make better decisions about how ...
