Let\u2019s hear a more casual perspective from one of Local Healthcare many satisfied patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The&nbsp;<i>HCG Diet Plan<\/i>&nbsp;is done in \u201crounds\u201d. You can do short or long rounds. The most common round is the <b>26-Day Round<\/b>, but you can do the longer 40-Day Round.&nbsp; The one you pick will be determined by your weight loss goals. After a round you do what\u2019s called the <i>Maintenance Phase<\/i>. The Maintenance Phase is 3 weeks where you are not allowed to eat any starches or sugars, but you are allowed to eat any amount of other foods you\u2019d like. After you finish the 3-week Maintenance Phase you can do another round. So, although you are limited to 40 days in your \u201crounds\u201d, you can do as many rounds as you need in order to achieve your weight loss goal. I\u2019ve seen people lose 200+ pounds and they just do multiple rounds to achieve this. You just can\u2019t go past 40 days in a row because your body will get used to the HCG diet and it will cease to be effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">All <i>Rounds<\/i> start with 2 \u201cgorge\u201d or \u201cloading\u201d days. You also begin taking your HCG at the beginning of the rounds. On the <i>Loading Days<\/i> you \u201cload\u201d by eating as much as you can and whatever you\u2019d like. This tells your body that you have enough fat to lose and it\u2019s OK to start unlocking your stored fat. Now your low calorie diet will cause you to lose fat and not muscle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">On the start of the <b>3<sup>rd<\/sup> Day<\/b> you begin the low calorie diet (LCD). For breakfast you can have coffee or tea. Or you can also spread out your meals and have your fruit from lunch. You make the choices as to when you take in your daily food and liquid amounts. The key is to make sure that you don\u2019t eat more than the diet allows. If you want snacks you can always save something from a meal. I would usually save my fruit from dinner and have it a little later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">I think you should drink at least 2 liters (1 gallon) of water per day. This helps you detox and keeps you hydrated. As to exercise, while on this diet you really don\u2019t need to exercise. Most people don\u2019t, because they are taking in so little calories that heavy exercise could cause you to get weak and dizzy. You can do light stuff like walking or jogging about a mile or two per day, but I wouldn\u2019t do much more than that. As crazy as it sounds, this plan really doesn\u2019t need exercise to be successful!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Once you hit your goal weight or your<i> End Day<\/i> (last day of the <i>Round<\/i>\u2014Remember not to go past day 40!) you stop your HCG and do 3 more days on the HCG diet. You do this to make sure all the HCG is out of your system before moving to the <a href=\"http:\/\/canyonhealthaz.net\/hcg-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Maintenance Phase<\/i><\/a>. Once you enter this phase it\u2019s no sugar or starches until you start another round (if you choose to do another one).<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Isn\u2019t it time you kicked your weight problems out of your life?
