I barely cheated but I haven't lost any weight in three days!

I hear this all the time. It is believed that one of the functions of hCG is to move fat into the blood to feed the fetus. There has to be two conditions. One condition, is you have to have elevated levels of hCG. The other is that the body must be put into a state of famine, it must be starved. hCG utilizes the stored fats from the mother if a famine exists to feed the fetus. In our case we are the fetus, we are going to feed off the stored fat. If you eat fruits and vegetables with lean proteins three times a day, and eat less than 750 calories, the body will stay in starvation mode and the hCG will mobilize the fat. If you eat or apply anything to your body that makes the body believe that you are not starving, than this function of hCG is neutralized. Remember there are many functions to hCG this is just one of them. Foods that will neutralize the hCG include, fats, sugars, and especially starches. Starches include breads, pastas, potatoes, rice, etc. Fats that I have seen neutralize the hCG come from cheeses, really all dairy, which are filled with sugars too, nuts, they are a great food source but not while on this diet, and legumes, beans another great food source but not during this diet. We will bring back all these great sources of nutrition once we are on the maintenance diet. The bad news is when you eat starches and fats you will not lose weight, even gain weight for two to three days. The good news is that on the fourth day you will usually lose two to four pounds. So, no starches, no fats, no sugars. You probably noticed that I didn't talk too much about sugars and alcohol. I'll talk about them in a future blog. Good luck on your diet and go lose two pounds today while you feel great. Oh yeah, I received a phone call yesterday from a client who had finished the diet and he had his physical and his PCP took him off of all his high blood pressure medicine. He was stoked to say the least.
