Phase 1

of my HCG diet begins.  I’ve already detoxed.  Still getting used to having the drops.

This phase is what they call the “loading” or “binging” period.  And to be honest, I’m a little scared.  I’m trying to lose weight, so why the heck am  I suppose to eat “whatever I can”.

Explanation:
The first phase of the orally administered Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) – Fat Release Program usually lasts 3 days, but may be expanded to 6 days for individuals who have a severely damaged metabolism.

This critical decision is one of the important judgments made by the supervising medical professional, because the success or failure of the following 3 phases is largely dependent on how well the 1st Phase is completed.

Phase 1 is also called “The Loading Phase.” The goal is to eat as many calories as possible, preparing the body for a period of very low calorie intake. By completely filling all fat stores, the metabolism is convinced that the body is not in a starvation mode. For some it is useful to think of Phase 1 as “bear eating”, like a bear preparing for a long winter.

The HCG Diet – Fat Release Program Phase 1 is also designed to attack some of the psychological addictions that many have developed over time. By gorging on their favorite foods for several days, patterns and associations are changed while cravings are satisfied. Many find that the first day is almost unbelievable, but find it very difficult to continue to the end of the second day.

Wish me luck!
