Keeping the Weight Off After Medical hCG



Many people lose weight with the Medical hCG diet, and then comes the immediate concern of ways they can keep the weight off. They are aware that they won’t be eating 500 calories a day forever and the fear of gaining the weight back is very real. Let’s go over some ways to help maintain the weight loss and keep the weight from creeping back on.
1. Maintain your newfound Lifestyle Changes!Lose your bad habits for good: Please don’t lose 15, 25, 50 pounds or more, doing everything right, only to buy new clothes and then immediately go back to your old habits that got you in trouble in the first place. Write down what you struggle with and do what you can to avoid those habits. For most people it is eating out, soda and after hours eating. If you are a soda drinker then stay away. The problem is like any other habit in that when one comes back we tend to get right back into the world we were in before and that’s where problems are.
2. Following through on the Maintenance Phase is Vital: Some people feel like they can reward themselves for such great weight loss. We say that is a great idea but do the celebrating after the maintenance phase is completed. The maintenance phase is critical because of the way your body resets itself.
3. This is part of the Lifestyle Changes! Exercise: Once you have completed the program you may begin to really exercise and do some strength training. There is no better time to start an exercise program, as you’ll see  results from working out much quicker because of all the fat that has been lost. Don’t go overboard too early, but rather allow yourself a chance to break in slowly. Exercise and weight training is a good way to keep your bad habits away.
4. Weigh Yourself Often: We suggest as part of the maintenance phase and afterwards you weigh at least once a week. Anytime you are up two pounds, you are to have an apple and steak day to pull the weight back off immediately.
Medical hCG Diet patients should always remember, the restrictive diet, the medication and rapid weight loss is not a forever process, but the lifestyle changes and maintaining the weight loss is a long-term process…but well worth the effort!!!
