Not everyone burns calories at the same rate. Metabolism establishes the rate at which we burn our calories and, ultimately, how quickly we lose weight. Because everyone’s metabolism differs, their progress will differ as well. Here are some general suggestions that I think all hCG Dieters can benefit from.

•Truvia™ is an all natural sweetener made from the sweet leaf of the stevia plant. It is a calorie-free sugar substitute. It has no aftertaste like stevia. It looks, tastes and feels just like sugar. One packet provides the same sweetness at 2 tablespoons of sugar.

•Roast garlic in the oven (wrap 1 bulb or clove in its skin in a piece tinfoil, place in oven on 350° for approximately 25 minutes). It will become soft and sweet. Spread it on a piece of Melba Toast as if it was butter. This not only makes a great appetizer but, the garlic will make you thirsty and you’ll want to quench your thirst.

•Drink lots of water and/or allowable beverages. This will make a huge difference in your results. Try ...
... hot water with lemon after each meal. It is refreshing and helps with the digestive process it also helps to eliminate toxins from your body.

•Grill Meats. Grilling is one of the healthiest cooking methods around because it sears in flavor while the fat drips away. Grilling also adds calorie-free flavor. Be sure to only turn you meat once and use a spatula instead of a fork. Forks will pierce the meat and allow the juices to escape.

•Gather lots of recipes. The VLCD (very low calorie diet) phase of the protocol can be limiting, boring and tasteless which can easily derail you from your goal. You do not have to give up flavor or delicious food. It is important to add variety to your daily menu. www.hCGRecipiesOnline.com can provide you with the most comprehensive and diversified selection of hCG diet approved recipes.

•Purchase a digital bathroom scale. You will need to weigh yourself daily. You should weigh yourself in the morning after you empty your bladder and before consuming any food or beverages. Make sure that you remove all articles of clothing. This will give you an accurate day to day comparison.

•Use a tailor’s measuring tape to take measurements every week so that you can track your weight loss in inches. You should take measurements of your chest, arms, waist, stomach, hips and thighs. Don’t obsess over the scale. Losing inches is just as important. There may be periods during the VLCD phase of the diet when many people will lose more inches than pounds. Keep a weekly log and you will be astonished by the results. Seeing the inches come off on paper will motivate you to keep on track.

Good Luck on your journey to a new, healthier you with the hCG Diet Protocol.
