Trouble Shoot The Official hCG Diet
“If you have stopped losing weight on the official hCG diet…”
The official hCG diet is one of the most efficient and rapid ways to lose weight when it is conducted properly. You can expect to lose 1/2 to 1 pound of fat a day with no exercise and a pound to 3 pounds a day with exercise.
So Why Did I Stall On The Official hCG Diet?
Here are a few things you need to check right away if you haven’t lost weight in 3 days while strictly following the official hCG protocol.
- Are you handling fat? It is so easy to do. Maybe you are handling cheese or meat when you are making the kid’s lunches or you are using lotions that contain fat. Fat absorbs through the skin directly into the blood stream where it seems to confuse the hypothalamus. If you eat fat, it is digested and so it won’t have the same effect. (As long as you are within guidelines.) For skin care use these.
- Sweeteners may be the culprit. The official hCG diet only allows Stevia as a sweetener so if you have stopped losing weight, it may be the diet soda’s or sugar free gum you are using. It should be noted that many people suffer no stoppage of weight loss while using these products. It appears to be an individual reaction to them.
- Another official hCG diet buster is not getting enough sleep. If you don’t get your full 7 to 8 hours of sleep, it will stunt or even stop your weight loss.
- Salt can also cause an apparent stall in weight loss. I say apparent, because it is really water retention that is stopping the weight loss, but the official hCG diet is still burning your fat.
- Not drinking enough water is another thing that can stop weight loss on the Official hCG diet. You need to get around 64 oz. of water a day if you can. I know that is a lot, but you will be pleased with the results every time you see yourself in the mirror. (Which should be quite a lot since you will be going to the bathroom frequently at first.)
The Official HCG Diet Nuclear Option
If you can’t figure out why you have stalled and it has been more than 3 days, then you may want to do an apple day. The official hCG diet has what is called an apple day. This is where you eat only 6 apples in one 24 hour period along with at least 8 glasses of water. Believe me you will lose a lot of weight.
This will also get you on track to losing fat again with the official hCG diet and that will make you happy.
Exercise is another way to break an hCG diet weight stall. You can read more about this on my page, The Official HCG Diet And Exercise.

I am confused. I am taking the drops and following the step two diet. I thought that you were NOT to mix the foods together eg stir fry but a lot of the recipes do mix them together. Also some say you can eat turkey. What are we to do?
You need to remember that Dr. Simeon never was able to finish his research. Since his time there has been a lot of anecdotal research conducted with the hCG diet and it has been discovered that you can mix vegetables as long as you are not eating any starchy vegetables (corn, beans, etc.) or ones high in carbohydrates (carrots etc.)
As far as Turkey goes, one must remember that that was not a food common to the area where Dr. Simeon did his research. Turkey is an excellent choice as long as you stick to the lean cuts.

Can we add other non starchy fruits and vegetables like melons, mushroom, bean sprouts and peppers?
Yes, as long as they are non-starchy and you stay with in the calorie limit.
How long should I wait to restart the drops for a second round of weight loss?
The official hCG diet answer is 3 weeks, but I have done two rounds in a row with great results. Just make sure you load properly.
I have a friend who would like to go on the hcg drops I have lost at total of 32 pounds. I feel good and people are saying that I look GREAT. I still have about another 20 pounds to go. My question is for my friend. She is on medication for high blood pressure and has chron’s as well. Would she be able to do the drops without it effecting her medication?
The drops should not affect her medications at all.

Is the hcg solution that you buy in the health food store the same as the super trim that you get off the web site. I bought some while in Erie Pa but when I tried to match the ingredients I found it frustrating.
All of the drops you get from the Internet and those at the health-food store all hold about the same value for your hCG diet. Only real hCG is different.

I have a friend who is interested in HCG. She is taking Warfarin for heart problems. She says that she can’t eat a lot of greens. Is there something else she could have?

Can I also take Raspberry Ketone to help burn the fat faster. I have a big fat roll around the middle. Will the Ketone shrink it faster?
I have never tried this before, but as long as the Rasberry Ketone is sugar free, it should be OK.
