Top Mistake After The HCG Diet

The hCG diet is not a miraculous protocol that guarantees successful long-term weight management. In fact, it is particularly easy to undermine your weight loss results by making a common mistake after doing this protocol. In fact, this is the worst possible thing you can do.

And the worst mistake is: Consuming Wheat Products

That\’s right. If you eat wheat or foods containing wheat products, you slam your body with a dietary whammy that you must avoid. It comes from the so-called complex carbs in wheat that dietitians everywhere seem to love. Keep in mind that, in this case, \”complex\” just means that wheat starch is comprised of lots of glucose molecules linked together in a chain.

Of course, conventional dietary advice is to consume such complex carbohydrates as wheat starch at every meal, especially when we reduce the amount of sugar (sucrose) or other simple carbs that we eat with it. (By the way, in case you don\’t yet know, one molecule of sucrose is comprised on just two simple sugars – one each of glucose and fructose.)

The problem with wheat starch derives from how fast it can be digested. The glucose molecules are arranged in a specific type of complex that is referred to as amylopectin A, which is easier to breakdown in your digestive tract than any other type of complex carbohydrate. The net effect is that glucose from amylopectin A spikes in your bloodstream sooner that it does from any other source of starch foods such as potatoes, bananas, or beans.

In fact, whole wheat bread causes a greater spike in blood sugar (glucose) than sucrose itself. Eating a sandwich with two slices of whole wheat bread is no different, and often worse, than drinking a can of sugary soda or eating a sugary candy bar.

You probably (hopefully) already know that drinking sodas and eating sugary foods will add unwanted pounds of fat to your body after the hCG diet. Now you know that wheat-based foods will do the same. Indeed, these are the foods that, more than likely, got you into the position of having to do the hCG diet in the first place: breads, pastas, breakfast cereals, bagels, pastries, crackers, tortillas…and all manner of wheat-containing foods regardless of whether they are refined or whole-grain.

Let me point out what happens when you start the day with a wheat-based breakfast of toast, cereal, or bagel. Right away you blood sugar spikes up, followed by a rush of insulin. About two hours after breakfast, this pattern leads to a growing hunger. In fact, the demand to satisfy this hunger, usually with even more wheat-based junk from snack foods, starts a hunger roller coaster that goes on all day. The pattern cycles every two hours – eating, hunger, eating, hunger, etc. This is an awful way to keep your weight down after the hCG diet.

Consuming wheat, in any form, is the main cause of repeated cycles of high blood sugar, which leads to storing more fat. It is, indeed, the worst mistake that most people make once they finish the hCG diet.
