ST. LOUIS, Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Like the traditional HCG diet, the first two days that you begin taking your HCG supplement, it's necessary to overload on fatty foods, and what better time to do so than Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Over-eating on fats when beginning a diet may seem counter-productive, but it serves three purposes. First, the sudden fat overload causes the hypothalamus, a small gland in the brain that is responsible for regulating metabolic activity, to spring into action, alerting the body to begin attacking fats, essentially jump starting the HCG diet. Secondly, the excess fat provides an immediate calorie reserve to mediate your hunger during the early stages of the diet, allowing the HCG ample time to tap into your fat stores. Finally, keep in mind that human physiology exists for our long term survival and any sudden decrease in calories can alarm the body into "starvation mode." During starvation mode, your body actually becomes more efficient with its calories and more determined to store away fat, assuming that there is a scarcity in food supply. This is why dieting is such an uphill battle. Not only are we struggling with our own poor eating habits, but a physiological pre-disposition to retain fat. Loading on fats for two days causes your liver enzymes to spike, which is theorized to prevent the body from entering this starvation mode. By the time your liver enzymes return to normal levels, the HCG has already tapped into your stored fat reserves and is providing you with supplemental ketone calories, thus bypassing starvation mode and facilitating more rapid weight loss.

HCG 2.0 -Don't Starve, Eat Smart and Lose; a Modern Adaptation of the Traditional HCG Diet, was authored and developed by Dr. Zach LaBoube, founder of InsideOut Wellness and Weight Loss. Dr. LaBoube's contemporary version of the HCG diet uses advanced research in low-carb ketosis dieting, caloric ratios, and basic food chemistry to provide the same rapid weight loss while accommodating the average working adult.
HCG 2.0 uses a BMR calculation to determine the amount of calories on your individualized HCG diet. It encourages 15 – 20 grams of lean protein for breakfast. It suggests a lean protein, low-carb snack before bed, improving sleep and providing necessary protein for cellular regeneration. It provides a wider variety of protein options and larger portion sizes of leaner items higher in nutritional value, but void of empty calories that only contribute to weight gain. It also recommends a wider variety of vegetables and discourages root vegetables such as onions which are significantly higher in carbs than peppers, broccoli and many other veggies that are not allowed on the traditional HCG diet. HCG 2.0 provides the same rapid weight loss without the strict and unnecessary calorie restrictions of the traditional HCG diet. There's a smarter way to lose!
