Reasons you may not be losing weight on the hcg diet

1. Evaluate the tablespoon of Milk you are drinking.

Consider changing to goat, almond, soy, or rice milk. Milk contains hormones to promote quick growth and weight gain of the calf to enable it to survive on it's own at the earliest. A baby calf triples in weight within the first year of life so cow's milk has a high content of fat and hormones like insulin promoting growth factor (IGF). Because of this milk has been used for centuries as an invalid food to promote appetite and weight gain. It is an easily digestible, high protein food for those people who do not have a milk allergy or are not lactose intolerant. As it promotes weight gain, it predisposes to obesity, hormonal problems like diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and paralytic strokes. People with any of these conditions should avoid taking milk and other dairy products.
Non dairy milk
You may want to make sure you don't have a casein allergy by getting tested or an elimination diet.

2. You have a gluten allergy

Gluten allergies are relatively common. 1 in 111 adults (0.9%) have a gluten allergy. When people with gastrointestinal complaints were studied, 1 in 30 adults (3.3%) were found to have a gluten allergy. This makes a gluten allergy quite common, especially when people with chronically uncomfortable guts are considered.


 Using digestive enzymes can be effective in minimizing the impact of gluten for those with gluten intolerance or gut injury.


Also, avoid the melba toast and grissini on the diet. Or you can replace them with gluten free crackers.





3. You have an allergy to any of the foods on the diet.

Most of the foods on this diet do not commonly trigger allergies. But you could be exposing yourself to #1 and #2… and it would not be impossible that you are eating or seasoning your food with something that is counterproductive. People can be allergic to spices. Try salt only and see how that works, or have your practitioner check your sensitivity to some spices and only use the ones you do not react to.

Allergy to strawberries is one of the most common of all fruit and vegetable allergies. When a person is allergic to this fruit, it is likely they are reacting to the birch pollen allergen that apples and peaches bring on.

4. You did not do a colon cleanse.

When doing the HCG diet it is highly recommended to do a colon cleanse. The hcg diet gets rid of stored fat fast, and fat stores toxins as well. By cleaning your colon and getting rid of excess toxins, you greatly aid your hcg diet plan. If your colon and liver are not up to speed, You cannot expect them to optimally help you shed weight. This one can be used during the diet.
 





5. Your adrenal glands may be functioning suboptimally.

Check your DHEA level, if it is low, a supplement may make your weight loss more effective.
DHEA is an adrenal hormone that also aids in increasing metabolism and burning fat and reducing stress.

6. You are still craving food and are eating things that are not allowed.

8. Through readjustment of the normal pH balance in the body,

People who change their diets to maintain pH balance will likely notice a welcome side effect: weight loss. A pH balance diet is so effective for weight loss that there are several well-known pH balance weight loss programs in existence.

Balancing your diet - Acid/Alkaline

When food is metabolised by the body the end products are either acidic or alkaline. Acids are compounds of elements, which give away hydrogen ions, alkalines are compounds of elements which attract hydrogen ions. The body needs both acids and alkalines for its metabolism but we have more difficulty getting rid of acids than alkalines. One of the simplest ways to immediately create more alkalinity in your body is to drink so-called superfood powdered drinks. Choose a brand that contains ingredients with high alkaline values such as spinach, broccoli, carrot, wheatgrass, barley grass, chlorella, alfalfa and sprouted grain powders. Many of these ingredients are contained in Green cell Therapy.
Milk thistle, lactobacillus, and digestive enzymes are in Vitagreen (formerly known as Green cell therapy).
 


Other ingredients:

Wheat Grass juice powder, barley grass juice powder, chlorella, CoQ10, Carrot Juice Powder, Beet Juice Powder, Parsley Leaf Powder, Kale Juice Powder, Grape seed exract, Milk Thistle seed extract, Lycopene, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Quercetin, Dandelion Powder, Spinach Powder, Blue Green Algae, Bee Pollen Powder, Aloe Vera Powder, Flax Seed Powder, Lecithin, Green Tea Extract, Astralagus Powder, Royal Jelly, Brown Rice Powder, Lipase, Lactase, Amyalse, Protease, Bifidobacerium Longum, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Rhamnonsus, Lactobacillus Acidophilus




9. Yeast overload

Belly fat is more than just fat. Yeast causes abdominal bloating that can add an extra 5-7 inches that seems to appear out of nowhere. This can be devastating for someone who is on a diet and trying to lose weight and lose inches. If a woman says she has only been eating 1,000 calories a day for a week yet still gained weight a doctor tends to think she is not being truthful. However, if most of her diet is carbohydrates and sugar she may very well be growing yeast, which create a toxic build up and fluid retention to dilute the toxins. It’s a whole new way of looking at weight gain.

Besides bloating and toxic fluid build up, yeast can decrease thyroid function and lead to lowered metabolism, which is a well known cause of weight gain. Some yeast toxins can block hormone receptors and block hormone action.

















10. You have a vitamin deficiency

I recommend that people load with Omega 3, Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin D prior to the diet. Take as much as you can on the loading days.

For the Omega 3, take at least two 1000 mg tablets with each meal for the three loading days.
According to the Journal of Obesity, recent studies have shown that supplementation with Omega 3 fish oil increased the number of fat calories burned in a single day.



Co enzyme Q10 and weight loss goes hand in hand. This increases the metabolism rate in our body which burns up the food that we eat, faster.This enzyme is present more in the liver, pancreas and the heart than in the lungs. The presence of CoQ10, not only improves the metabolism rate in our body, but it also improves the immune system. Deficiency of the co enzyme Q10, in an individual, reduces the level of metabolism due to which the person might face several problems related to weight.


Take calcium and B vitamins during the diet.


But for the next phase, and while you are on maintenance, heed the advice above.


11. Try a chromium supplement

Chromium that has been shown to reduce fat accumulation, reduce cholesterol, reduce triglycerides, and reduce blood sugar levels in those people who have adequate blood insulin levels. Over 30 hospital and university studies have been performed showing all of the positive effects of Chromium. It helps the body store and burn carbohydrate in the proper way so that you have more energy and less fat buildup in the body.

12. Did you fat load properly?

Colon Cleansing on the HCG diet



Some believe it is important to undergo a colon cleanse regiment before starting the HCG Protocol because there are toxins and other environmental contaminates, hormones, and other impurities in our food supply and diet that didn’t exist, and therefore were not a factor, when Dr. Simeons was administering the HCG Diet to his patients decades ago.

Because of the restricted diet it is common to have a BM only once every two to three days. If you stop loosing weight AND don't have a BM every three days, it's probably time to get the bowels moving again.

What is colon cleansing and how does colon cleansing help us to lose weight?
Colon cleansing is a simple solution to many health problems while also providing numerous benefits. For dieters, the most desirable of these benefits includes the significant weight loss that results after even one colon cleansing treatment. In fact, it is not uncommon for colon cleansing to flush ten to thirty pounds of matter, resulting in instant weight reduction. Not only does this result in a healthier colon, but rapid weight loss and a healthier, detoxed system.

Ailments treated by colon cleansing include:
* constipation
* fatigue and insomnia
* parasite infection
* excess weight
* bad breath
* irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
* a protruding belly
* frequent colds
* hemorrhoids
* yeast infections
A frequent bowel problem for most people, and particularly dieters, includes constipation. Most often, constipation is attributed to a low fiber diet and lack of sufficient water, which cause fecal matter to become compressed and condensed. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it results in slower weight loss or even a complete stall simply because the system is "backed up" rather than continuously moving forward.

Over time, a constipated system results in the slow release of toxic wastes, causing strain on the intestinal system- most often signs of this include hemorrhoids, varicose veins, hernia and similar problems. In fact, the longer the waste is permitted to stay in the body, the more the proteins become rancid and the carbohydrates ferment. This ultimately manifests in physical ailment and disease and has been attributed to everything from obesity to cancer.

With even one bowel movement per day, there is still a minimum of three meals worth of waste matter in your system at all times, and a constipated body can hold several days, months or even years of fecal matter. Furthermore, your system can become toxic from the poisonous gases that are caused by foods you don't tolerate. This is known as "self polluting" in which the poisonous gases can enter your bloodstream and irritate your joints and organs. When your body is in this state, it cannot efficiently operate, let alone lose weight and become healthy.

Most often, people rely on bran and raw vegetables to stay regular. However, these are so rich in fibrous bulk they cannot get through the small spaces remaining for passage of waste in a constipated colon. Instead the waste matter backs up, begins to ferment, and contribute further to poor digestive health.

For those that want lose weight, maintain a healthy body and balance between body spirit and mind, colon cleansing is a must try. Not only does colon cleansing result in instant weight loss, provide fast relief from numerous ailments, and act as a preventative agent for health issues, but for those seeking to lose weight and maintain optimum health and mentality will find colon cleansing to be an essential addition to their efforts in healthy living.

It is not recommended to start more than 1 colon cleanse at the same time. They can be done in sequence, but not simultaneously. Please check with your practitioner before starting any cleansing program, especially if you are on prescription medications.

These specific cleanses and supplements are designed to work specifically with the HCG protocol to improve your results.

Supplements before and after surgery

Surgery has a major impact on your body. Even though it's done with the best of intentions and in a clean environment, your body needs to put out extra effort to mend from even minor surgery. While you're recuperating, you're more vulnerable than usual to:

wound infections,
chest infections,
skin breakdown,
urinary tract infections, and
other kinds of infections.

Providing the body with the nutrients it needs is vital both before and after surgery.

1. Green Cell therapy is high in B vitamins which help the body deal with stress... and surgery is a stressful situation.

It contains wheat grass, spinach, kale and other powerful green vegetables which help the body rebuild the blood, and many surgeries are associated with blood loss.

Contains Chlorella: Japanese studies have found Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) to be especially effective in speeding up cell growth, a major factor in the natural repair of wounds. Various other studies reveal CGF helps heal ulcers and promote bone and muscle growth. When taken internally, it also acts as an immune-booster.


Taking this supplement prior to surgery to prepare the body for this stressful time (especially if you are already anemic) would be a great idea.

Wheat Grass Juice, Barley Grass Juice etc. are used for multiple healing, alkalizing and nutritive properties. Low temperature dried juices of green leafy vegetables and grasses are easy to digest and assimilate and deliver alkalinizing minerals and vitamins to the body at a cellular level.

People are also prone to constipation after surgery- this supplement contains lactobacillus and digestive enzymes which help with digestion. This product also contains digestive enzymes, which fight inflammation, fibrosis (scar tissue), and viruses; modulate the immune system; and cleanse the blood. 

People are prone to anemia after surgery. The greens in this formula promote red blood cell health.



2. Cherry Goji Berry (Go Qi Zi, Chinese Wolfberry, Lycium Barbarum), a caretenoid-rich berry with complete protein, essential fatty acids, and mineral density.
Used for millennia in Chinese Medicine as a super tonic, a food that benefits many systems of the body. Rich in unique susqueturpenoids, which powerfully boost immunity, also rich in xeaxanthin, which targets vision. Two of the antioxidants found in cherries, anthocyanin 1 and 2, function like aspirin blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Conceivably, eating cherries could relieve the pain of arthritis and gout, and clinical studies have shown just that.

Here you will find the supplement that combines the two superfruits goji and cherry for post-surgical support.








3. While you are at home getting well, consider a parasite cleanse.

Many surgical patients receive antibiotics, which can make a person susceptible to yeast overgrowth.

Octocleanse is an advanced multi- dimensional formula containing herbal and nutritional components. There can be over 100 different types of parasites worms living in human bodies. Some are microscopic in size while others can be seen quite easily. These common organisms can be found everywhere in our environment, in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, or in the food we eat. It has been estimated that 85% of the North American adult population has at least one form of parasite. And some of those parasites can make you sick. The benefits of cleansing the body of parasites and worms include purifying of the tissues, healed organs and glands (where parasites and worms dwell); improved and enhanced peristalsis (bowel movements); more energy, weight release (loss/reduction); improved skin condition, improvement in body odor; better absorption of nutrients (which parasites and worms rob the body of), and an overall sense of cleanliness and purity. Those seeking treatment for a specific disease should consult a qualified integrative physician prior to using herbal products if possible.

This product also contains digestive enzymes, which fight inflammation, fibrosis (scar tissue), and viruses; modulate the immune system; and cleanse the blood. 
This product contains cascara, a gentle laxative, and constipation is often a problem post surgery.









You will likely have limited activity after your surgery, and that coupled with narcotics produces a situation that invites constipation.
Suggestions for constipation post surgery include Acai Ultimate.
It contains the Acai Berry which is a superfruit which provides healing nutrients, psyllium (an ingredient found in metamucil)This herb is frequently recommended for the treatment of constipation and is even approved as an over-the-counter drug in the United States under brand names such as Fiberall, Konsyl, Metamucil, Modane Bulk, or Serutan.
In addition to its value for treating chronic constipation, psyllium can be useful in treating diarrhea.
In one study, symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome improved with psyllium administration.
Diarrhea following gallbladder surgery has also been successfully treated with psyllium seed.
Psyllium preparations can reduce pain and bleeding from hemorrhoids.
Psyllium seed has also been used to reduce high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
Psyllium seed is also reported to slow the absorption of dietary sugar. This may be beneficial in diabetes, although it is a subtle effect.,

Buckthorn is an herbal medicine of "last resort" to treat constipation, or in circumstances where the stool needs to be softened, like hemorrhoids or during recovery from rectal surgery. It is a diuretic and was used as a blood purifier. Buckthorn is also used to treat gallstones and intestinal parasites.

All of these ingredients are contained in Acai Ultimate







Phototherapy can also help wounds heal quickly. Various phototherapy devices use infrared LED lights to bathe the wound in healing light. The cellular DNA responds by speeding up the repair process.
