Top 10 Tips For Success
- Check your Spices! Spices must be used with extreme caution. Check all ingredients for any unallowable foods, any form of sugar (brown, white, maltose, dextrose, etc.), starch (modified corn starch), and/or any kind of vegetable oil. (i.e. garlic salt or taco seasoning can have sugar and modified corn starch… not acceptable!)
- Load up on enough fat during the binge phase (first two days using the HCG Renew program). If you do not you may experience hunger and associated crankiness during the first week of the program.
- Use Stevia to satisfy sugar cravings. Try mixing a few Stevia Drinks found in the recipe book supplied with your order.
- DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING WITH ASPARTAME! It’s very important to stay away from Diet Sodas or any source of aspartame or other artificial sweeteners. Also, you need to stay away from all forms of MSG (monosodium glutamate). Aspartame and MSG can and will cross the blood-brain barrier affecting the hypothalamus which will actually make you feel more hungry and give you only a partial "re-set" of your hypothalamus.
- Drink lots of water but not too much water. depending on your body size you will want to stay around 1 gal. per day. Too much water and your electrolytes can be thrown out of balance causing dizziness, black-outs, increased heart rate, or headaches.
- Make sure only 96%+ lean beef is used. Many participants can quicken weight loss by eating less beef and more chicken or allowable fish/seafood, in particular.
- Remove all unnecessary oils, fats, sugars, and starches from your diet. This includes what you put on your skin as well. Products such as makeup, lotions, moisturizers, deodorants, soaps, and hair care products need to be examined also (refer to your HCG Renew reference guide found on page 7 & 8)
- Do not to eat the same protein, fruit, and vegetable for both lunch and dinner. Food selections are to be varied.
- When you weigh yourself be sure to be in the same type of clothing. Not doing so causes undue concern and confusion or false appearance of weight gain/loss.
- Avoid restaurants. To a large degree the meats have been “juiced” or manipulated to be more flavorful, tender or juicy, with a multitude of processes that could easily slow or reverse your weight loss, particularly chicken.
