Most weight loss diets will feature a single diet. Not so with HCG. The HCG program consists of stages and for each, you’ll have to follow a different diet.
The HCG diets are composed of the preparatory diet, the diet proper and a maintenance diet. There’s nothing extraordinary with the preparatory diet. It just prepares you for the diet proper. Fruits and vegetables are introduced along with an hour of slow-paced walks each day. After this, there’s the low calorie diet designed to eliminate your flab quickly. Prior to this, is three days of calorie consumption binge aimed at preventing energy loss. The VLCD sets 500 calories a day consumption to last 23 days. Working with the HCG hormone, this diet which is also a detox drops a minimum of a pound of excess weight daily. Your maintenance diet is similar to this but with more calories this time.
