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

#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.

#6
Calcium
Working with harmony with vitamin D calcium blocks the hormone calcitriol to decreases fat storage and increases fat breakdown.
Recommended 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.
Recommended 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.
Dosage for Cravings
1000 mg 2x daily
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.'
