On or off the HCG Diet, it spells trouble for you.
Yes, it’s the Double Trouble Twins, it’s the Twin Harbingers of Doom (I know, I should write for Marvel Comics, right?).
What are they?
- Pigging out.
- Not exercising.
It’s like the Doublemint Twins… only more evil. Triply evil for any HCG Diet journey!
According to this study published in Nutrition and Metabolism – if you pigout and don’t exercise, even for as little as 4 weeks — it will be… harder to lose the weight from that binge and then keep it off.
Though they’re not talking about the HCG Diet, these are the realities of real-life eating after you’re off your HCG Diet journey and onto Phase 4 and beyond.
Outside the HCG Diet, in the real world, we all have these events in our lives in one form or another:
- that string of parties from Thanksgiving through New Year’s
- the first few weeks of college life
- those three-week cruises with their daily smorgasbord of all-you-can-eat buffets
Your job is to stack the odds in your favor, otherwise, you wasted all the time, energy, money and sacrifice going on the HCG Diet –for nothing.
But it’s a problem, isn’t it? The fact of the matter that no one wants to face is this happens after your HCG Diet journey.
Face it, true believers, what’s the point of gaining control of your weight if you can’t pigout every now and then? I think it should be mandatory that everyone’s entitled to one pigout every 30 days at least, don’t you?
I don’t know about you but I have no intention of going through the rest of my life and never have a guilt-free, worry-free periodic pigout (says the Master of Alliteration).
The Study – What It Means To The HCG Diet
A team of researchers from Linköping University, Sweden, asked 18 people to stop exercising and “pigout” for 4 weeks (increasing their food intake about 70% of their norm).
A separate control group ate and exercised as normal.
What Do The Results Mean For The HCG Diet?
Those who did the 4 week pigout gained an average of 14 pounds.
During the 6 month follow-up, only 1/3 were back to within 1 pound of their initial body weight. At the 1-year mark, the pigout group were still about 3.3 pounds heavier than before their 4 week binge.
And the control group? No change in the body weight.
Some Other Things To Keep In Mind, HCG Diet-wise…
One important caveat, even if have a moderate exercise regimen (as long as it’s at least 4 times a week), this study doesn’t really apply to you because it was only done on sedentary people.
According to Dr. Marc Siegal, binge eating over time — minimum two times per day on fast food can not only pack on an additional 10 lbs within 4 weeks; it also sets up a destructive neurochemical cascade effect in your brain.
A cliche, but culturally-accepted proof is the saying, “A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips.”
You’ve heard this from folks going through the HCG Diet, right? Other diets, too.
That’s one form of a neurochemical cascade that sets up in your brain. The constructive variation is exercising often. Frequent exercise breaks the old destructive neurochemical cascade in the brain and sets up a new one – one that’s conducive to a long time and a high quality of life.
I had what I thought was a secret pigout strategy, one that makes it easier to take it off and keep it off. But then the other day I learned that Sly Stallone has a similar strategy and he used it to get into shape for The Expendables while being able to enjoy his pigouts at the same time.
But the key to all of this is to be able to make certain key distinctions. None of this is new information, but if the information is placed in front of you and in just the right way, you’ll make distinctions that you were making before and things become easier, or they happen faster, better, whatever.
Think of it like this — you’re driving along and your car has manual steering.
In order to turn your car to the right, you have to really crank that wheel over and it requires a fair amount of upper body strength to accomplish that task.
If you have power steering, then you can make the same turn nearly effortlessly — with just two fingers. Why? Because some genius figured out the principle of leverage and built that into the steering mechanism. Power or manual steering — you can still turn your car, it’s all a matter of how difficult it is to do that.
What I’ve attempted to give is ways to make key distinctions that you weren’t making before and leverage them to lose the max weight while on the HCG Diet and then furthering that leverage so that you never, ever gain it back.
So, wondering what you got out of this study, and the commentary afterwards? What did you learn from it that you could use after your HCG Diet journey is over?
How can you use it to have your metaphorical cake and eat it too (sorry, couldn’t resist. You know I have no self-control!)
