Diet Tips for HCG Dieters

     No matter who you ask for diet advice, that person will most likely have dieting suggestions or tips for you. They may be effective, but then again, they may not be in your particular case. It depends on your body, your dedication to the diet, and the type of diet you're on. There are many diets out there, but the one that's growing in popularity today is the HCG diet. You must first recognize that people who are on the HCG diet are on a self-discovery journey. You'll find out a lot about yourself as a person and possibly some of the issues that caused you to gain weight. Here are some widely accepted strategies to help you maximize the effects of this diet:

You may want to eat a lot of fruit. It's difficult to find food that fits into the highly restricted HCG diet, so, when in doubt, chow down on some fruit. Apples, pears, strawberries, bananas...they're a great source of fiber and have almost no fat at all. Plus, the naturally occurring sugars in fruit break down easier in your body. This will help make your body feel better and you'll feel better about yourself knowing that you bypassed a plate of brownies for fruit options. This may seem like a small goal attained, but making good choices about what you put into your body can lead to other healthier choices, too.

Change begins with small steps, most of the time, and that leads to a related strategy. Some people have a food or drink that they have to have every day, whether it's soda, coffee, bread and butter at dinner, or dessert. They can be crutches. If you make a decision to get rid of your crutches, there's no doubt you can do the HCG diet or any other diet that best suits you.

Finally, you will want to avoid grazing or situations that put you in front of opportunities to graze. You've done it; you come home from work and head straight to the kitchen. You get a snack before dinner. Instead of going to those places where you typically graze, go somewhere else. Try reading a book in your bedroom or take a walk. This is a good habit to get into whether you're on the HCG diet or not. If you are on the diet, staying in a grazing situation will no doubt be a pitfall for your diet. You won't see the results you expect to see simply because bad habits.

They key for the HCG diet, or any other diet for that matter, is taking control of your body and what you eat. You may have heard about people who gain weight because they keep saying they will lose weight later or go on a diet later, but for now they decide to go ahead and have that piece of cherry pie today. You may have done it yourself. The truth is, everyone has done it at one time or another. By doing today what you "can" put off until tomorrow, you can take a small step that can lead to a more successful diet and a healthier you.
