Hunger on the Beta HCG diet

Some people are still hungry on the Beta HCG diet.

Make sure you are drinking 2 liters of water daily.

Space your meals so you do not go more than three hours without eating
i.e eat your lunch at 11 (meat and vegetable), then your fruit at two, then your dinner (meat and vegetable at five, and your other fruit at eight.

Other helpful strategies:

1. drink cinnamon tea, green tea, or hoodia tea. Other teas to try include Alfalfa, burdock, nettles. Make sure your tea is unsweetened. Fragrant teas like earl grey or lavender tea can also trick your body into thinking it has consumed dessert, thereby staving off the temptation to cheat.




Honeybush tea
Studies have shown that honeybush tea:
-Eases constipation.
-Is an inexpensive method of losing weight as it staves off hunger pangs and reduces water retention.
-Is caffeine free and has a soothing effect on the central nervous system.
-Has been traditionally used to treat cough as it contains piniton, a modified sugar that is used to make cough syrups. Piniton also lowers blood sugar levels and is currently being developed by pharmaceuticals as a prescription drug for diabetics.
-It can also be applied to the skin to soothe skin irritations.
-Contains anti-oxidants that help lower blood lipids (fatty substances).
-Contains elements that are known to prevent breast cancer, prostate cancer and uterine cancer.
-It keeps high cholesterol levels in the blood under control.
-Consists of elements that are used in the treatment of menopausal symptoms.
-It is rich in minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and sodium.
































2. take a chromium supplement to stabilize your blood glucose level
In 1959, chromium was first identified as an element that enables the hormone insulin to function properly. Since then, chromium has been studied for diabetes and has become a popular dietary supplement.

The Fat Burner supplement also contains cinnamon and green tea extract.
