subject: Breaking The Plateau On The Hcg Diet [print this page] While on the HCG Platinum formula and following Dr. Simeons protocol, many people lose up to 1-2 pounds a day, but according to Dr. Simeons, there are sometimes interruptions which may cause a plateau or a break in the weight loss. Here is what he says about plateaus:
"A plateau lasts 4-6 days and frequently occurs during the second half of a full course, particularly in patients that have been doing well and whose overall average of nearly a pound per effective injection has been maintained. Those who are losing more than the average all have a plateau sooner or later. A plateau always corrects itself, but many patients who have become accustomed to a regular daily loss get unnecessarily worried and begin to fret. No amount of explanation convinces them that a plateau does not mean that they are no longer responding normally to treatment."
According to Dr. Simeons, it is very normal and even frequent that dieters will experience a plateau on the diet, especially if they have been continuously losing weight while on the diet. Not only is the plateau normal, according to Dr. Simeons, it can also be remedied by taking an apple day. Dr. Simeons explains the apple day by stating:
"An apple-day begins at lunch and continues until just before lunch of the following day. The patients are given six large apples and are told to eat one whenever they feel the desire though six apples is the maximum allowed. During an apple-day no other food or liquids except plain water are allowed and of water they may only drink just enough to quench an uncomfortable thirst if eating an apple still leaves them thirsty. Most patients feel no need for water and are quite happy with their six applesThe apple-day produces a gratifying loss of weight on the following day, chiefly due to the elimination of water. This water is not regained when the patients resume their normal 500-Calorie diet at lunch, and on the following days they continue to lose weight satisfactorily."
Evidently, plateaus are very normal and are not something to be overly concerned with. As Dr. Simeons states, Those who are losing more than the average all have a plateau sooner or later. It can be considered a positive outcome of healthy weight loss to reach a plateau sometime throughout the HCG diet protocol. The main thing is to not become discouraged, and allow your body to adjust to its new weight.
