Increased activity for the hcg diet

By Jon F Greene


We have all been on a number of diet programs, and we have been told that diet and exercise go hand in hand. That is usually for lower calorie 1000 calorie to 1500 calorie diets. The logic is to get the body to become stronger, but mainly to get the body to burn more calories than one is taking in.

However, the hCG injection diet is a vastly different type of diet. The object of the hCG diet is to get the body to use the stored fats for nutrition. This is a slower process to get nutrients into the blood stream than eating. It is not the ideal situation for rigorous exercise.

The hCG injection diet consists of only 500 daily calories, Which are for immediate demand and the rest of the caloric needs are drawn off stored fat cells. Thus the role of exercise is give the patient increased activity to prepare them for a more active lifestyle.

The hCG injection diet is predicated on losing weight in a way that the patient achieves significant weight loss in a short period of time over 4 phases. The patient will be in phase 4 for the rest of their life, and this is the time and period for more conventional exercise.

Patients, who are longtime sufferers from obesity, are much more likely to live a sedentary lifestyle. Increased daily activity is a concept that must be reinforced. Exercise, as we know it in the traditional sense, can come as part of your maintenance phase after reaching the goal weight. With that goal in mind, let us review some tips and guidelines for increased activity during your hCG injection diet.

The ideal low-level type activities recommended for HCG injection diet patients would be to participate in functions such as walking, housework, and stretching. Patients are encouraged to walk for around 30 minutes daily. Even if one is not at their target weight, to be 25 ? 40 pounds lighter is significant. The principle here is more about teaching the patient to engage in increased activity. Therefore, here are some tips and guidelines for exercise during your hCG injection diet.

Stretching is good, along with very low impact exercises. Low-level exercise will also help maintain your rate of metabolism as it changes. Thus, making your diet efforts more successful.
