Chromium is a trace mineral that often times is lacking in everyone’s diet.  It is very effective at controlling blood sugar and diminishes cravings. Adding chromium picolinate will help reduce your fat mass, increases your lean body mass and aid in your weight loss efforts and has been shown to help preserve lean body mass on a very low calorie diet.

Control in 24 Hours - Your Secret Recipe

1500 mg of L-Glutamine and 1000 mcg of Chromium 3x a day, 20-30 minutes prior to eating.  This power combo will banish your desires in 24 hours.

#3

Resveratrol

The red wine anti-aging supplement is great for improving insulin sensitivity. Insulin sensitivity can help your body utilize carbs better vs. storing them as fat. And it also has some appetite suppressant effects.

#4

CoEnzyme Q10

A little known benefit of this supplement is helping to control blood sugar and the breakdown of fat for energy.

supplement tipsDosage

100 mg daily

coconut oil

#5

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 has a unique feature. It’s both a vitamin and a hormone. It is the hormone trait of the vitamin that unlocks the fat cells and allowing their contents to be set free and leave via your bloodstream or waste. You will also have a full feeling when you start taking vitamin D as it releases the hormone leptin which is known as the hormone that inhibits hunger and makes you feel satisfied.

In order to trigger these actions and cause your body to burn it’s fat you need to have adequate amount of the vitamin. Those that are deficient in D3 deficient often times you will have a larger body fat mass than those who are within normal ranges for the vitamin.

supplement tipsDosage

50,000 to 100,000 IU per week for 2-3 months. After that 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 per 25 pounds of body weight.

You can speed weight loss by 70% burn more fat—especially your belly fat by.

dieting tips

You can avoid flu shots and colds by taking D3

Take 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 per 25 pounds of body weight.

And if you are in the midst of the flu or cold take 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 and 1000 mg of C until symptoms are gone.

#6

Calcium

Working with harmony with vitamin D calcium blocks the hormone calcitriol to decreases fat storage and increases fat breakdown.

supplement tipsRecommended Intake

1200 milligrams per day

#7

Coconut Oil

Although not a true ‘supplement’ coconut oil for the hCG diet, per Kevin Trudeau additions to the protocol is okay. It has weight loss properties and many health benefits due to its medium chain fatty acids that actually boost metabolism.

The fatty acids in coconut oil are processed in the liver and used for energy and not stored as easily as fat in your body.

Coconut oil and other MCT increase energy and actually help you burn a little more calories. Fats in your diet, especially the medium chain fats increase your feelings of fullness which leads to reducing in appetite and cravings for foods.

supplement tipsRecommended Amount

For the Phase 2 on the hCG diet, you want to use it sparingly, like to grease your pan to prevent sticking.

On Phase 3 and ongoing maintenance 1 tablespoons 3 times a day. 

#8

L-Tryptophan

An amino acid that needed to produce serotonin in the brain. When your serotonin levels are low, you may feel depressed, anxious, experience insomnia, and causes you to overeat.

Specifically low serotonin cause you to overeat and crave carbs and binging on carbohydrates. When too many carbs are in the body and not utilized, they are eventually converted to fat and stored.

When on a VLCD like the hCG diet your tryptophan levels will decrease and this will produce intense cravings in response to the deficit of tryptophan thereby your serotonin levels are not at a deficit which would cause unbearable chronic carb cravings.

supplement tipsDosage for Cravings

1000 mg 2x daily

blog hcg diet

This should go without saying but I will say it anyway, DO NOT TAKE ANY SUPPLEMENT without checking with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it's compatible with any medications you are currently on.

Just because it an all natural supplement doesn't mean it's compatible with your medications.  So please check before popping any pills.

There isn't a magic pill or potion to control cravings but these do come close to helping you fight the urges.

If you walk into your local grocery store and checkout you still have to make a decision to avoid buying the goodies they tempt you with.

These supplements to control your cravings my give you the extra edge, help chemical and nutritional imbalances but as stated you have to also help them by making the proper decision for your weight loss goals.

There is a great book on supplements, amino acids and their uses by Julia Ross 'The Diet Cure.' I often use her book as a reference and refer to it for a lot when it comes to natural 'cures.'

  3. Mint Up.
    • Using a minty toothpaste and or minty mouthwash can literally take the taste for the offending food you desire out of your mouth.
    • Drink peppermint tea if you don't have a toothbrush handy. peppermint cleanses your palate and diminishes tastes for sweets.
    • Use peppermint essential oil in a diffuser and inhale deeply.

    • Sometimes you just want to chew and that's okay. Just choose to chew sugar free mint gum.
  5. Cut Sugar.

Carb & Sugar Cravings

When you are craving carbs and sugary food there is a physiological reason. Carbs stimulate the release of serotonin which makes you feel good and endorphins calm and relax you. Destressing is key to helping reduce the cravings. Everything from exercise and meditation to proper sleep, deep breathing techniques and using EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Salty Foods

Yearnings for salt is a little tricky. The salt that is often used in processed foods is processed salt, stripped of all its nutrients and 60 minerals found in unrefined salt. You should switch to a high quality sea salt and the Himalayan salt.

In the meantime, salt cravings are also about dehydration, you need may need to get more water in your system and hydrate yourself.

Protein Cravings

Desires for protein can either mean a protein deficiency or iron deficiency. Menstruating women have a higher instance of iron deficiency and if you have a heavy flow the chances of your body needing iron is very high. While an overall protein deficit can lead to muscle weakness and decrease in your lean body mass. 

The only way to know for sure if you have either deficiency is to request a test from your doctor. Low Albumin levels indicate a lack of protein and low Iron levels indicate you may need to supplement your diet with iron.

Benefits of Losing Weight

The Glorious Benefits of Weight Loss

Reduce Your Weight And Increase Your Life

And Bring Back Your Sexy, Youth & Vitality

Weight loss has a lot of health benefits for your mind, body, soul and health. Before getting into the the sexy part of weight loss let's talk a little about the health improvements you will can change in less than 30 days you can have following the hCG diet for fast weight loss.

Top 5:

  1. Reduce Inflammation & Arthritis
  2. Lower Risk of Heart Disease & Stroke
  3. Reduce Risk of Diabetes
  4. Improve Memory
  5. Reduce Risk of Some Cancers

These benefits can start with losing as little as 5 to 10 pounds. Why you may ask? A lot has to do with the improvements in your food choices. Cutting sugars, white flours, processed foods, gluten, etc.,  can go along way to reversing some chronic diseases.

When you change your diet and incorporate foods on the hCG plan you start reducing the inflammation response your body has to disease.  hCG diet foods do not have the inflammatory foods that is rampant in the standard American diet.

Inflammation is your body's responses to fight a harmful state your body is having. That state or dis-ease, can be either be temporary or chronic but the response your body has on the cellular level is often the same. Redness, swelling, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, joint pain, water retention, skin conditions and more depending on the severity of the inflammation and where it happens.

In The Weight Loss Cure They Don’t Want You To Know About, Kevin Trudeau recommends a Candida cleanse prior to starting the hCG protocol.  Yeast overgrowth in the gut causes inflammation in that area. When you have inflammation in the gut that will disrupt the flora, cause hunger increase sugar cravings that leads to a decrease of your leptin (hunger controlling hormone) levels. When leptin is decreased it causes insulin resistance and all that, makes weight loss an uphill battle.

weight loss benefits

Primal Reasons

The above reasons and benefits for losing weight for are good enough but let’s face a few facts, with the invention of mirrors humans have become highly visual creatures with a tendency to be a bit narcissistic and self-absorbed. For weight loss motivation, those are EXCELLENT qualities to have!

Losing weight can have a positive impact on your mental health. It can improve your outlook on your life, increase your confidence and self-esteem, decrease risk of depression and anxiety. As you lose weight you are more willing to see your possibilities, take chances and give yourself permission to try new things because your insecurities and self-consciousness begin to melt away as the pounds leave your body.

And as your weight decreases and your confidence increases, you start to become more aware of your body and how you look in the new clothes you are buying. How they hug your curves and flow when you walk. With increased awareness of one’s self it is natural to become more sexually aware of your body and attuned to your sexual self.

sex and weight loss

Your Sexy is Back!

A hormonal reaction occurs with pounds are lost. Yes, you start to get your sexy back because the decrease in body fat leads to your sex hormones becoming unbound in your system.  Excess body fat leads to more sex hormone binding globulins.  Men who lose weight increase their testosterone which leads to increase sex drive, better erections and more stamina.  With women they too will have an increase in testosterone as well as a rebalancing of progesterone and estrogen that leads to increase sexual desire and response.

Look Younger

It’s true losing weight can make you look younger.  Fat loss removes extra wrinkles, decreased puffiness in the face and around the eyes, erases double or even triple chins. Getting rid of the extra fat on your body will uncover your bone structure and define bone lines in your body and face like; jaw lines, clavicles, hip bones.  

Adding resistance training you will define, lift and tone your muscles. However, when on Phase 2 of the hCG diet you do not do strenuous exercise. Adding heavy exercise training would be better during your mini maintenances if you want to incorporate weights or other resistance training on a routine basis.

blog hcg diet

As you can see losing weight has many benefits to you and you can get there fast with the hCG diet. Don’t overlook a rapid weight loss plan because it has the power to change your circumstances, health and well-being, in a short amount of time.

And as you reach your goals you start to change your life and become the person that may have been hiding and keeping a low profile. When you are ready just read the information on our site it can determine what direction you decide to go and help you get there.

Eating Out On The hCG Diet

by

Dining Out on the hCG Diet. Yes You Can.

Restaurants, hCG and Me

Eating Out While Being True on Dr. Simeons Diet

There is always an issue when you decided to lose weight, how do you transfer your diet from your home environment to the real world, like dining out at restaurants. You cannot live your life in a bubble and sometimes you just want someone else to cook for you and enjoy a night out with family and friends.

So how to take your hCG diet with you into a restaurant and still be on protocol no matter if you are on phase 1 or phase 2. Well thanks in part to the popularity of the low carb diet it is now easier than you think!

Yes, that is right. A lot of dining menus today have designations for a low carb meal and most of those meals fit Dr. Simeons plan. And another menu choice are the diabetic meals.

But let us take a moment to go over 7 basics rules to help make better choices that will give you the best outcome for staying on your diet when you are dining out.

7 dining tips hcg diet
  1. Know your Food List
  2. Avoid foods with sauces, gravies
  3. Avoid menu items describe foods are being breaded or fried
  4. Avoid food items that contain cheese
  5. Avoid salad dressings
  6. Avoid oils and butters
  7. When in doubt always ask your server how the food is prepared

What most people do not realize is a lot of restaurants put sugar in their foods and due to state food laws use pre made bases for some food items and the base may contain sugar.
Those are the 7 basic rules to eating out on the hCG diet. You may think that will limit your food choices, but not really. When you are out eating you have more options than you realize and you can always ask your server if you can have something prepared to your liking. Most restaurants will comply with special requests if they are not too far off the beaten path.

Let’s start with what you can eat and build from that point it’s always better to focus on what you can have vs. what you cannot have.

4 can have eat out foods
  1. Grilled or baked chicken breast and most fish
  2. Lean beef and veal
  3. Salads. Hold the nuts, tomatoes, cheese, onions please.
  4. For main course vegetables the easiest way to remember are your ABC’S – Asparagus, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Spinach.

(Most restaurants do not have a cabbage dish, but yes that does fall under the C)

Now that you are armed with the basics foods you can have look at the low carb and diabetic choices.  You can pick out foods that will be more adaptable to stay in compliance with your dieting.  And you can always choose à la carte items or replace some items.

But let us suppose you are in a rush and have to go through the drive thru. You already know that KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are off limits. And those juice bars are good but not really for your current eating style.

The safest fast food places are McDonald's or Wendy’s.  Why? They both offer a grilled chicken salad. Fast, easy, diet compliant and little thought when you are in a hurry or want to grab something quick.

Tips to Dining & hCG Dieting:

Also some basic things that you can carry on your person.

  • Lemon Packs
  • Stevia

Another thing I like to do, carry a small bottle of apple cider vinegar mixed with stevia. That way if dining out I always have a salad dressing ready. BUT sometimes I have forgotten my supplies.

Ask the server if they have Apple Cider Vinegar (some do) or Balsamic Vinegar if balsamic only and several kinds ask if you can get 2 or 3 as well as the little dipping cups. Most establishments carry Splenda so if you forgot your Stevia Splenda will do in a pinch if you like a little sweet taste.

Pour a little balsamic into a little cup mix with a little stevia or Splenda and see if it’s to your liking. If so you know have made a quick salad dressing for your meal.

Importance of Sleep and Weight Loss

by

The Importance of Sleep and Weight Loss

Eight Hours To Faster Weight Loss

And More Restful Sleeping Every Night

Benefits of The Great Eight

Getting 8 hours of sleep isn’t just to rejuvenate and recharge your body or rest your mind. No, securing adequate sleep on a daily basis can be the key to:

Curb Cravings

Increase Fat Loss

Make Better Eating Decisions

Yes the simple act of sleeping can help you say no to junk food, stay on your hcg diet plan and get this; LOSE UNWANTED POUNDS, when you are actively dieting to get in shape and reach your desired body goals.

Cause and Effect

When you do not get rest you hormones become confused. It’s not just you feeling exhausted and grumpy or making poor decisions because you are tired and not thinking properly, but your hormones are affected as well.

Your insulin levels drop. Insulin is the hormone that controls fat storage and when it becomes stressed from sleep deprivation insulin gets sensitive in other words, insulin resistant occurs. When that happens the carbs you eat and the fat that is circulating in your blood starts to be stored instead of insulin moving the fatty acids from your cells and releasing it.

Two other hormones that are affected is Leptin and Gherkin. Leptin is produced by your fat cells and Ghrelin is secreted in the stomach. Leptin gives you a feeling of fullness and Gherlin gives you a feeling of hunger. Sleeping less than 6 hours a night causes your brain to increase Gherlin production and decrease your Leptin output.

When those levels are flustered from lack of proper rest it’s virtually impossible to lose weight quickly. Your determination winds up fighting your body’s hormones and they become locked in a constant struggle.

Determination and Hormones are working against each other to reach your weight loss goals. Insulin is storing fat and Gherlin is telling you you are hungry. And other things start to occur as well.

sleep weight loss

Lack of sleep also causes you to make poor decisions as your frontal lobe, the decision making center, needs to be rested for you to think clearly and make good decisions.

As your stress rises from slow to no weight loss, a new hormone enters the fray, Cortisol. Cortisol, is released and works against all your efforts to resists cravings, control our portions and ignore junk food. The cortisol hormone makes you want food even to the point of overeating. Even if you are full and or just eat when this hormone is released you will will want food.

High levels of cortisol slows down the release of Human Growth Hormone, HGH, which is released while you sleep. HGH also plays a part in weight reduction, building muscle and the aging process.

As your mental determination starts to wear thin because nothing seems to be working for you start to stress out more and feel defeated.

You see yourself actively dieting and eating the right food, you added some routine exercise to boost your efforts, but you find yourself constantly fighting cravings of cakes, cookies, chips and other foods that are not in your best interest. And to make matters worse you still are either not losing or even gaining weight. With your sleep being impaired you find yourself making poor choices start to give in and cheat on your diet plan.

The sad simple fact is, you are working against thousand of years of evolution and survival in this battle of weight reduction, Determination vs. Hormones. Hormones will win every time.

Yes all this because you are not getting enough sleep. It’s not that you don’t have the willpower to lose weight or that hCG dieting doesn’t work, your hormones are working against you because your body needs good sound restful sleep every night to lose the belly fat and unwanted fat in general from your body.

So What To Do?

When you get enough sleep you reduce your intake of carbs and fat and reduce your cravings naturally. You make better choice not only in foods but you make better decisions in portion control and your ability to stick to your diet increases.

Once the cascade of fat storing hormones is stopped, it becomes easier to see yourself reaching your weight loss goals.
