HCG Diet Food Pyramid

by Dr. Dennis Clark

Yes, the HCG diet has a specific food pyramid. The best description that I have found summarizes it very nicely. It includes pointers on how to vary the diet and still lose weight.

Eating healthy today is not as easy as it might seem and the food pyramid can be confusing for some. Combine the need to learn about the food pyramid and how the HCG diet plan works, and a dieter might want to run for the hills! Nevertheless, understanding the food pyramid is essential to your HCG weight loss success. Common sense food selections simply are not enough. Read more here.

I’ve been visiting family and doing some volunteer work in California for the past two weeks. Thanks for dropping by to check out my updates. More to come, so be sure to subscribe to my newsletter and get your free reports to keep track of what I have to say about succeeding on the HCG diet.

All the best,

Dr. D

Achieve HCG Weight Loss Like Mikki

by Dr. Dennis Clark

This is an amazing story about HCG weight loss. Some days are so gratifying because of what I hear from others about their successes on the HCG protocol. Here is a completely unedited comment that I received from a reader named Mikki, who tells what is possible. Mikki is an RN, which in my mind lends an extra boost to her credibility.

As I said, this is unedited…any misspellings are original, and they take nothing away from the power of Mikki’s message.

by Mikki, on July 5 2010 @ 11:21 am

I did HCG drops and began a 26 day plan. That was in early March. I am 53 and weighed Ugh 145 AFTER loading. I originally thought I wanted to lose about 15 lbs and was really doing it alongside my husband who wanted to lose more than 50 lbs. I wanted to support him and prepare his meals so it made sense to work right with him. I lost 19.5 lbs and another 1-2 while in Stabilization. My husband lost an initial 37lbs. Neither of us felt HUNGRY in the sense of feeling shakey and hungry like I might have prior to taking the HCG. I can say that like any other time I knew when it was time to eat a meal (a prescribed meal) and quickly woud feel sataisfied. We both did a second round. We both lost more weight. My husband is now down 58 lbs and I am down another solid 5. I dont see that I could lose anymore. My BMI is slightly lower than the chart normal. I now weigh 121 and 120. I wear 4 sizes smaller. Girlfriends I am in a size 2 and 4! Here is what I most want to share, I am lean. I see cuts and muscle that is now showing as if I had been doing pilates or even working out. My calf muscles are incredible. I even show contour over my abs.

I see the line of the deltoids. I see this as having removed the fat that was padding the underlying muscle underneath. Muscle is striated so now that it shows it looks cut. It is now July and there is NO weight loss, dont crave foods I used to and clearly have incentive jus to eat healthy. I eat somewhere around 1800 calories and more if I indulge in wonderful Italian breads. But I stay within the 2 lbs that has been determined as my set weight. As a practicing RN I am now helping others achieve the same great results. I believe anyone can out eat the plan and blow this. But I believe this is fast and doable! Our healthcare has changes so much. It is really now just the pharmaceutical industry!!!! So I feel we are missing opportunities for wellness that are no longer in the best interest of our scathed healthcare industry now heavily dicted to my pharmaceuticals. But bottom line I feel if you pick a source of HCG that is supported by others successes, but good general informations without modificatins and they can support their source and you follow the EXACT PROTOCOL you will achieve great success. If you are looking to disprove a product then you will be successful at that too. That would be called self sabotage! As a nures who has seen medicine take a bad U-turn I too am more confident in homeopathic and naturopathic physicians and remedies. The general medical world will endorse last resort treatment with risks such as Gastric Bypass before using something thousands lay claim to sucess! Go Figure!

One more thing my cholesterol dropped from 308 to 128 off the meds I wouldnt take anyway (statins) and my husband is off 3 BP meds and is running a avg BP of 128/79. Not bad at all when he was uppr 180s to 190 over 100~! So this girl says go for it. I see little to no risk and no need to fear 26 days!

All the best,

Dr. D

New HCG Pellets Now Available

by Dr. Dennis Clark

New forms of oral HCG just hit the market and I am excited to say that our clinic can now offer this choice. The specific form is pellets, which are way to keep the hormone dry and stable without refrigeration.

Medicine drugs
Image via Wikipedia

They still must be kept cool (72 degrees or less), and refrigeration is recommended when possible. Nevertheless, HCG pellets offer the convenience of a stable, easy to take, oral HCG for folks who travel or who are on the go.

The only drawback is that HCG pellets cost about one-third more than the sublingual drops. Nevertheless, they are proving to be very popular. And, from my own experience, they are clearly just as effective as other forms of the hormone.

They are available here: Order HCG

All the best,

Dr. D

The HCG Diet Phase 3 Food List

by Dr. Dennis Clark

The HCG diet menu is radically different between Phase 2 and Phase 3. This list of foods clears up a lot of questions about what exactly is acceptable during Phase 3. As it turns out, this is also the ideal list of foods for long term lifestyle choices.

After HCG Diet To Do List

by Dr. Dennis Clark

What about after HCG diet? This is where most people blow it. The first 3 weeks after taking HCG are crucial. Long-term weight management after that is the goal. Failing to follow certain guidelines will add weight back again. Here is what you must do. [Read more…]

HCG Diet For Vegetarians

by Dr. Dennis Clark

The need for protein is overrated for the HCG diet. Besides, veggies of all kinds offer plenty of it. The idea behind the meat choices is to limit dietary fat. Research is very clear on what the best diet would be, before, during, and after the HCG diet.

Image via Wikipedia

Just in case you are looking for a way to survive on the meat-centered HCG diet protocol without meat, here is an idea that will work perfectly: go vegan. Specifically, go vegan without grains. Here is an extreme version of how to do so at this link:

HCG Vegan Diet Protocol

My Comment

Sandy and Steve make some good points, although some of their explanations sound like voodoo science. Here is what I have found in the scientific literature: A grain-free vegan diet, raw or not, will be better for fat loss and lifelong weight management regardless of whether you go through the HCG diet protocol. Any advice that you see, including that from Sandy and Steve, about cleansing and detox is without scientific merit, even though it may sound reasonable. It may even be correct. It just has no scientific merit.

The three biggest flaws of almost all diets are: 1) too much protein; 2) too many grain-based foods, 2) too much animal-based food. I guarantee that you would not even be considering the HCG diet if you reduced those flaws. This will be a subject that I dig into with more depth later.

All the best in natural health,
Dr. D

Leptin and Fat Loss During the HCG Diet

by Dr. Dennis Clark

Leptin is the Master Fat Hormone, and it works by signaling the hypothalamus of the brain. The questions for fat loss now under study are starting to look at how leptin and HCG interact. The idea is that they may be using the same or similar brain receptors. It is a great topic for understanding more about how HCG works.

Here is a great article that goes down the road of explaining leptin metabolism. Let me know if you have any questions, class!

Here are some extracts from a highly informative article on leptin, a hormone secreted by fat cells that influences energy expenditure and food intake.

HCG Diet Information About Calories

by Dr. Dennis Clark

Good HCG diet information is hard to come by. Most folks who are thinking about doing the protocol worry about starving on such a very low calorie diet (500 calories per day). Yes, this would be a starvation diet without the hormone. Here is why HCG makes all the difference in keeping you from starving.

HCG Diets

The specific foods in limited amounts during this protocol are designed to support the fat burning metabolism that is directed by the HCG hormone. That is a mouthful, and if you have a fear of starving on this diet those words will not help. Here is what you must consider. Let us just say that you normally have a metabolic rate that requires 1500 to 2000 or more calories per day. It would be pretty simple math to say your metabolic rate would burn through 500 calories pretty fast. So the effective question to ask is where do the remainder of your calories come from while on the protocol.

They come from your own fat. Yes, you can count on at least 2000 calories from your own fat. Specifically, this is abnormal fat. You will see the result wherever you have it … usually belly, thighs, buttocks, or upper arms. For women, this also means breasts, depending on how much abnormal fat has accumulated in them.

The Visual

Image via Wikipedia

Now, to get really visual on how this works, note how I explain this to my clients. It goes like this. Imagine that you have a magic knife that you can use to cut off a slice of your own belly fat (without pain or other trauma … remember, this is your imagination at work here).

Slice off a good sized chunk, say about 2000 calories worth. Lay it out on your cutting board, sprinkle it with some salt, pepper, and garlic (okay, these are my favorite spices … use your own if you wish). Now put it on the grill, being careful not to let flames engulf it. It is fat, after all, and will burn really fast if you are not careful.

Whenever you feel that your new fat steak is done to your satisfaction, sit down to a nice dinner of 2000 calories and eat it. There you have it. You have eaten your own abnormal fat.

The great thing about the HCG hormone is that it directs your metabolism, through a signaling pathway in the hypothalamus of your brain, to effectively give you a fat steak from your own fat every day. So that is why the HCG diet is not a starvation diet. Is that a little clearer now?

Have fun with it!

All the best in HCG info,
Dr. D
