Choose Diet Over Exercise for Weight Loss Success

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

“It’s been known for some time that, calorie for calorie, it’s easier to lose weight by dieting than by exercise.”

Why exercise may not fit into the weight-loss equation

Posted by the American Council on Science and Health http://www.acsh.org/factsfears/newsID.3828/news_detail.asp

How to Stay Motivated on the hCG Diet!

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

Set reasonable goals!

If you started this diet because you want to be skinnier than you were in high school, the frustration of not being able to obtain that goal might make you want to quit.  Start with smaller goals, like 10 pounds or a dress size, and make them bigger as you succeed.

Reward yourself often!

Have a reward for each goal you achieve.  Not a food reward of course, but a spa treatment, item of clothing, movie, or other fun outing.  Rewarding yourself more often for reaching smaller goals can help keep you motivated throughout the entire diet.

Build a support system

Tell friends and family about your diet so they know to support you and not throw temptation your way.  While you can’t expect diet-friendly foods at all social events, at least they will know not to take it personally when you pass on the dessert.

Find online support

You can find free online support communities at Yahoo! Groups, MSN Groups and on iVillage.com.  The community on the hCG 1234 Facebook page is very active and offers great support from hCG 1234 and other hCG dieters! www.facebook.com/hCG1234

Know “what’s for dinner”

Try to have a daily meal plan and incorporate new recipes into your diet.  Eating the same old thing every day can get boring!  And if you don’t plan ahead you may end up just grabbing what is convenient.  Check out our recipe section for hCG diet approved recipes www.creativebioscience.com/recipes

Forgive yourself for setbacks

It’s difficult to be “good” all the time!  Don’t beat yourself up if you eat something you should not have.  Just make a recommit to yourself to following the hCG diet!

What is a Steak Day?

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

From time to time, your body weight may fluctuate slightly as you ease into a pattern of healthy eating and active living following the use of hCG Diet products from Creative Bioscience.  If you gain more than two pounds above the lowest weight you reached on the hCG 1234™ Diet, a Steak Day may help you return your initial low weight.

A Steak Day is where you do not eat or drink the entire day except for water and at dinner consume a large steak. That evening you can have either one apple or one tomato.  To be effective, the Steak Day must be done on the same day you discover your weight gain.

If a gain of more than two pounds occurs during Phase 3 you may have consumed food that is not allowed on the hCG diet—foods containing sugars and starches, or your body may have a bad reaction to a food that was reintroduced causing intestinal swelling and water retention that manifests in weight gain.  It is during this phase of the hCG 1234™ Diet that you will learn what foods your body does not digest well and must be avoided.

Study Shows Keeping a Food Journal Leads to Weight Loss

Monday, July 16th, 2012

Keeping a journal has been shown to help people lose weight, according to researchers.

AFP RELAX NEWS

MONDAY, JULY 16, 2012, 10:19 AM

Want to lose weight? According to a new study, dropping the pounds is as easy as keeping a food journal.

Researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle studied the eating behaviors of 123 overweight, previously inactive women for a year. Women who kept food journals and consistently wrote down the foods they ate lost about six pounds more than women who didn’t.

Women who reported skipping meals lost almost eight fewer pounds than women who did not, and those who ate out for lunch at least weekly lost on average five fewer pounds than those who brought in their lunch.

Researcher Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD, and her team wrote in the study, “Eating in restaurants usually means less individual control over ingredients and cooking methods, as well as larger portion sizes.”

Tips for creating your food journal:

• Write down what you’re eating throughout the day, rather than saving it up to log at the end of the day. Also, jot down how you are feeling when you eat, and how what you eat makes you feel.

• Record your level of hunger along with the foods you eat.

• Be honest. Measure portions, read food labels, and write down both your slipups as well as your more virtuous meals.

The study appears in the latest issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
