Weigh The Foods You Eat on The HCG Diet

Most people do not realize the amount of food that they truly eat every day. Every one of us has varied eating habits and we each eat differing amounts every day. But exactly how much is that?

In our present day culture, food servings tend to be “super-sized”. Commercialism has created an environment that encourages extra large portions of food for a “serving.” Unfortunately, our waistlines have suffered widely for this (pardon the pun). We have lost sight of what a true “serving” or portion of food should truly be.

In addition, we have become a more sedentary society and have forgotten what adequate exercise means. Thus, in order to lose the extra pounds, we must relearn these basic principles right off the start.

Measure and Record the Food You Eat

Recording the amount of food we eat in a food chart has been proven to be a beneficial action for successful weight loss. Before we record the food, we must measure the foods to obtain the correct weight and/or measurement of the portion size that we eat.

It’s easy, yet vitally important, to measure the foods you eat when you do the HCG Diet. There are only two types of foods to measure: a protein and the vegetables. To do the program correctly, you must know the amount that you need to measure very easily through a simple calculation.

First, weigh the protein you are going to eat. (Most meats should be weighed raw.) We know that this will be 100 gm, or around 3.5 ounces (3 ounces if cooked). Vegetables should weigh approximately 4 oz.

Keeping track of these values and recording them helps you make sure you eat the right amounts, and it keeps you accountable to yourself that you are doing the program correctly.

“WANT” To Change Goal

One HCG Diet goal is to try to help you to WANT to change your lifestyle; to WANT to change your eating habits; to WANT to become healthy; and to WANT to live your life to its fullest extent possible.

Seeing success will help motivate you to WANT to continue to lose weight. Since most people do lose around ½ to 1 pound per day, we feel confident that you will also see success in losing weight provided you follow the protocol established. This will help you WANT to continue to change, and learn a new lifestyle for better health. Motivation is the key. Attitude is everything; the way you think makes the difference.
