Wheat Starch Can Ruin Your HCG Diet

By Dr. Dennis Clark


The HCG diet offers hope to people that are serious about losing weight. However, it is important to follow directions when you are on this kind of program. What you eat is very important and it is vital that you keep wheat starch from your meals.

The first part of any HCG diet concerns eating a great deal for a few days, then you must stay on a low calorie meal plan for as long as you intend to lose weight. This plan works well because you are eating the right kinds of foods and you are maintaining consistency. Most people do not make mistakes at this point.

Many people fail with their HCG diet maintenance plan. After all, this is something that you need to live with every day for the rest of your life. It is easy to tell someone never to eat any kind of wheat products. Yet, it is another thing to follow this instruction day in and day out.

When you eat wheat products you receive concentrated carbohydrates loaded with sugar or glucose. Wheat starch is very easy for the body to digest and turn into glucose for food. You may seek to eat foods that will digest quickly to make it easier on the digestive system. However, when you eat the kind of carbs in wheat starch, it can cause problems.

Most people understand that avoiding sweets is good advice for those on a weight loss plan. You get too many calories from sweetened foods and they also cause blood glucose levels to soar or spike. Also, two slices of wheat bread will cause the same thing to occur. When things rise quickly, they drop just as easily and this happens with blood sugar.

When your blood sugar suddenly falls you become hungry. It makes no difference if it has only been a short time since your last meal. This is why many people eat when they should not. They are taking in foods that actually make them hungry in a short amount of time.

If you are serious about keeping off the weight with an HCG diet plan, make sure to avoid wheat starch and foods that contain wheat. This will help to keep your blood sugar on an even keel and you will be less prone to hunger urges. Also, many people are sensitive to gluten in wheat, so you may also feel much better if you avoid wheat starch.
