Should You Really Weigh Yourself Everyday Of The HCG Diet?

Is it really necessary to step on the scale every single day?

Today I wanted to go back to the basics a little bit by answering a couple of the more commonly asked questions that I receive. Now I haven't heard this one for quite a while, but I used to get it all of the time. Then the other day someone emailed me to ask this...

Do I really have to weigh myself everyday of the HCG Diet?

In both Dr. Simeons' and Kevin Trudeau's HCG Diet Protocol, they say that it is crucial to your weight loss success that you weigh yourself ever single day; preferably in the morning after using the restroom.

I would have to agree with them on this one. Although I don't agree with every word that Kevin Trudeau says, this is something that he definitely has right. Here's why...

If you weigh yourself everyday right after you wake up and use the restroom, your weight will be more true. This is because you haven't had anything to eat or drink yet, so the scale is only going to reflect your actual weight, not the weight of your food and water.

Plus, it's always good to know how much total weight you have lost. Not to mention if you should suddenly stop losing weight - How are you supposed to know when you hit a Plateau if you don't step on the scale daily. This brings me to the next question...

How important is it to keep a food journal?

First of all, if you don't already know, a food journal is used to write down everything that you eat throughout the entire day; even the foods that you shouldn't have eaten.

In fact, I usually recommend keeping a journal not just to track the foods you eat, but everything that you do while on the HCG Weight Loss Diet. So this means you would record the times that you take your HCG Injection, Drops, or Pellets - You would also write down the times that you weigh yourself, how much water you drink, or anything else worth tracking.

This is very important to do because, if you were to suddenly stop losing weight, all you would have to do is consult your HCG journal to know what you had eaten or done differently. Then, if you see a certain food that you ate or a routine that you recently started before your stall, you will have a much better chance of correcting it.

Lets do a quick review, shall we.

Weighing Yourself -

You want to make sure that you weigh yourself everyday before you eat or drink anything, and after you go to the restroom. This will help you to know how much weight you have lost, or show you that you are not losing at all.

Keeping An HCG Diet Journal -

It is definitely important to keep a HCG Diet Journal. You should write down the foods that you eat, the liquids that you drink, how much weight you lose, certain routines you have and anything else worth tracking. This way if you hit a Plateau, you can consult your journal and make the proper adjustments.

Cheese On The HCG Diet - Is It Allowed?

Is cheese one of the items on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Menu? Anyone who has read the HCG Diet Protocol knows that there are a lot of different rules to follow. On top of it all, you have to remember which foods you can and cannot eat. However, what people usually remember more than anything is that list of foods you can have is much smaller than the foods that you can't. Still, it can be quite a task to memorize that list in such a short period of time. I guess this is why people always ask my wife and I which foods are allowed during Phase 2 of the HCG Weight Loss Diet - One of the more common foods we are asked about is cheese. Now I love cheese probably more than the average person, so I can definitely understand why people are hoping and praying that it's listed on the HCG Diet Menu. And this brings us to the question we are here to answer... Can You Have Cheese On The HCG 500 Calorie Diet? I think deep down inside most of you already knew that the answer ...

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...

How The Hypothalamus Works

What the Hypothalamus Gland does and why it's so important to fix it... The Hypothalamus Gland is located directly below the Thalamus which is at the center of the brain. It controls many automatic functions of the human body. So this means that it can tell the autonomic nervous system what to do. The Hypothalamus also controls pituitary output by distributing certain chemicals to the pituitary's frontal lobe. To put it more simply, the Hypothalamus Gland organizes and controls many complex emotions, feelings and moods. It also controls all motivational states including hunger, appetite and food intake, and everything to do with the concept of pleasure including satisfaction, comfort and creative activities. The neurons in the Hypothalamus produce a number of Hypothalamic Neurotransmitters which relay information and instruction to all parts of the brain and body, directly influencing the Pituitary Gland. This is where the Growth Hormone, Thyroid Hormone Releasi...
