Common HCG Diet Cheats: Know Your Options

HCG diets and dieting…we’ve all heard of it by now. It can be massively effective and hugely beneficial. It can aid dieters reach a healthy weight. It can aid individuals as they try to live a more active life or an increased self confidence. It can aid individuals in decreasing their risks for many common illnesses and/or diseases.

Many people are aware of the possibilities advantages of weight loss and they are turning to the HCG diet for help. Programers are kept to a 500 calorie program. It is tough. No one will argue that point. The list of approved foods is extremely short. And many find the 500 calorie limit shocking. Portion sizes are regulated exactly as well.

So how to dieters make it “easier” to complete the program? Many are coming up with HCG diet cheats. This, of course, will lower your weight loss possibilities. The program was designed for weight loss and making exceptions to the rules will decrease the weight loss possibilities. There are basically two things to remember when it comes to cheating on the HCG diet:

1. If you don’t cheat you’ll lose more weight.

2. If you are going to cheat…be smart about it.

Some of the smarter HCG diet cheats that have been tossed about and discussed are listed below:

1. Jello (Sugar Free)

2. Whipped cream (there are sugar free and fat free versions)

3. Popsicles (sugar free)

We don’t condone cheating. I, personally, actually believe in the saying, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.” It’s only logical. But the thing with dieting is that cheating only hurts you. So it’s your choice. You’ll definitely lose more weight if you don’t cheat at all; never forget that.

But having said that…if you are GOING to cheat and step off the HCG diet protocol then please choose one of the HCG diet cheats above (or something similar). Do not reach for a King Size Kit Kat or an oversized slice of chocolate lava cake. Make smart decisions…even when cheating.
