Hcg Diet Plan: How To Tame The Monster Of Sugar Addiction
You’ve probably heard all of the hype about how much weight people are losing and how fast they are losing it by following the HCG diet plan. One of the challenges for those who have a sweet tooth, and who enjoy eating lots of sweets and candy is that there is no sugar allowed on the HCG diet plan.
If you happen to be addicted to sugar, then starting the HCG diet plan might be even more of a challenge for you. In this article, we are going to take a look at the dangers of refined sugar, and how you can eliminate or at least cut way back on consuming it to improve your health and vitality and your body’s ability to lose those excess pounds.
What’s so bad about sugar?
When you eat white sugar, white flour and other highly refined simple carbohydrates such as honey, syrup, dextrose and high fructose corn syrup, it gets absorbed quickly into your blood stream causing a spike in your blood sugar levels. This fast spike in blood sugar then causes a flood of the hormone insulin to be released. Because refined sugars have been stripped of all of their nutritious content, your body has to take minerals from your tissues to transform it into glucose, which can then be used as energy.
So that fast rush of high energy that you get after eating sugary sweets is then followed by an even faster drop in energy causing you to crave more sweets.
How refined sugar harms your health
Too much sugar in your diet can cause your metabolism to become sluggish making you feel a bit lethargic and you will begin to gain extra weight. Health problems associated with a lot of refined sugars in the diet include obesity, diabetes, heart disease, yeast infections, degenerative diseases, and an increased cancer risk.
Detox the refined sugars out of your body
Go through a sugar detox at least two weeks prior to starting the HCG diet plan
To detox from sugar you will simply have to stop eating it. This turns out to be easier said than done because sugar is a hidden ingredient in many processed foods. You’re going to have to start reading food labels carefully.
Be aware that if you have gotten in the habit of eating a lot of refined sugar, you will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms ranging from severe sugar cravings, to mood swings, sadness, headaches and problems falling asleep or staying asleep.
While on the HCG diet plan you will be taking oral HCG drops along with vitamin B12 supplements and following a very low calorie diet of 500 calories a day. Sugar is not allowed while you are following the HCG diet plan, so if you get used to not having sugar before you start the diet you will not miss it at all.
