How Can I Stop Gaining Weight?

If you are looking for a program to help you lose weight without feeling hunger pangs, try the HCG diet. Before starting the HCG diet, it is important to talk to your doctor to help you start healthily. To stop gaining weight, ensure that you follow the protocol to help you maximize your results.

Foods to Avoid During the HCG Diet

• Oils. Unlike other diets, you are not allowed to have any type of oils and fats in the HCG diet. Do not use cooking oil when preparing your meals since it can increase the number of calories you consume. You can use oil-free recipes and can change the way you prepare your meals.
• Fatty meats.  Sugar and starch cannot be consumed, so you must avoid fatty seafood and meat.
• Sugar. All sugary foods should be avoided, including chocolate, cakes, candies, cookies, baked goods, ketchup and other sauces, granola bars, etc. You also have to avoid processed fruit juices and soda as it contains empty calories and loads of sugar that causes weight gain.
• Carbohydrates. Avoid eating foods that contain carbs such as rice, yams, squash, pumpkin, beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
• Alcoholic beverages. It is highly recommended that you stay away from alcohol while on your HCG weight loss program, even though minimal alcohol consumption is allowable. Some alcoholic beverages also have a lot of sugar content and are high in calories. The intake of alcohol could affect your lifestyle.
• Other food items. Although HCG-approved vegetables can be included in your diet, you should avoid canned vegetables. Drinks with artificial sweeteners, cream cheese, and flavored sodas should also be avoided.
