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.

When you first start the HCG diet you must go though the loading phase and then comes the hard part. You consume very low calories and must be careful about the kind of foods that you eat. However, it is common to lose weight every day in a consistent manner with this kind of eating. Yet, this is not where many people make terrible mistakes.

When people enter the maintenance phase of the HCG diet, they are prone to making serious errors. In order to maintain your weight, you cannot eat sugar and you must avoid certain carbohydrates. It is very important to avoid wheat products as they have starch that can cause many problems.

When you eat wheat starch you are taking in carbohydrates that are rich in a sugar known as glucose. Wheat starch is easy for the body to digest, and one would think that is a good thing to eat. However, the fact that it digests easy is the reason you need to avoid it. These kinds of carbs cause your blood sugar levels to rapidly rise, and this is not good.

If you are trying to lose weight you should avoid sweets for several reasons. Sweets contain a lot of empty calories but they also make your blood glucose spike. However, eating a sandwich can cause blood sugar levels to spike as high as eating a sweet dessert. The higher something goes up the lower it will drop in proportion, and this is what happens with blood sugar levels.

When blood sugar drops suddenly you become hungry, and the body thinks it is mealtime. In reality, you may have eaten only a short time before. This hunger urge is the reason that many people are eating when they should not be. To avoid these urges, try to keep your blood glucose from spiking.

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.
