Recent studies have found that people who are under extreme amounts of stress or pressure may benefit from an alcohol drink at the end of the day, to help the body and mind unwind and relax. Even though the original HCG diet protocol does not allow alcohol, recent studies and feedback from HCD Diet Revealed readers whom have been drinkers, do surprisingly well on the HCG diet.
When diet instructions are followed correctly, the HCG diet has broken their drinking routine. These participants have even said that they do not feel the need to drink while on the HCG diet. This may be due to the absence of the alcohol cravings (due to the HCG working in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland which controls the emotional eating and drinking part of the brain.)
When on the HCG diet a user, who usually has a higher intake of alcohol, may find that a relatively small amount of alcohol produces a euphoric intoxication feeling. While on the HCG diet, we have had many participants whom have consumed a small amount of alcohol, (i.e) glass of vodka and mineral water with a bit of lemon (or vodka and 8 oz of fresh orange juice, this juice will count as one of your servings of juice) and still lost weight, during the initial weight loss phase.
I have received countless emails from HCG dieters whom have been derailed from their HCG diet goals due to and office party or luncheon. Therefore knowing in advance that, having an occasional alcohol beverage in extreme moderation, doesn’t mean you need to throw in the towel and quit dieting.
Dr. A.T.W Simeons does allow for a glass (8 oz) of wine with dinner during the maintenance phase of the diet (after you stop taking HCG). During the initial weight loss phase of the HCG diet be sure to check sugar content of alcohol, the less the better. Of course, we must say that if you do decide to drink while doing the HCG diet, just be aware that you may have lost more if you did not drink. However, if you find your alcohol intake to be extreme, and want to stop drinking, this is an opportune time to time to stop, because it will now be easier than ever according to many HCG Diet users.
Colin Before and After The HCG Diet Protocol!
The protocol does allow alcohol while on hcg in phase 2. I read pounds and inches twice and it states that can but you may find a little gets you drunk. I myself had two miller lites and still released 2lbs the next morning and that was towards the end of my second round.
ReplyDeleteI have been drinking wine around 3 evenings per week since starting the vlcd and have still dropped weight each day, In fact, funny thing I noticed is that, the mornings after consuming wine, I have greater weight loss than the mornings after not having wine. I wonder why this is?
