Good Habits Before, During and After HCG
HCG Phase One “Do List”
My Experience 😉
After going over the entire list I realized just how overwhelming it all is.
So I would rather comment on what I did and why.
Not that some of the other Do’s aren’t good too. I simply want to help keep it manageable and within reason. Plus I can share my experience firsthand.
I also want to be clear that I did not make a point to do or consume what is on this “Do List” the 30 days prior to starting my HCG journey. Most of them I found out about their benefits throughout my journey.
Phase One Do List that I have experience with;
Do’s – That I Do and Have Done:
-
Drink Water
Stay Hydrated and when you are burning fat you need water to help flush it out – Benefits of Water
My choice is Alkaline Water:
-
Add Fiber
Keep your intestine swept out!
-
Walk
Good Circulation equals all kinds of health benefits.
-
Get Sleep
Lack of sleep causes stress on the body. Stress is not a good thing for weight loss and a lot of other things.
Have trouble falling asleep??
-
Get Sun
Good Day Sunshine! Keep your vitamin D level UP…Can’t get outside or live in a very rainy,cloudy place?
Take a vitamin D supplement!
-
Breathe Properly
Most of us are shallow breathers –Oxygen is KEY!
Is is easy to get into a habit of shallow breathing. That is why we many times lack energy and get that late afternoon lethargic feeling.When you start to feel that way while let’s say when you are at work sitting at your desk.
Try this ; To bring large quantities of oxygen into your body – Breath in taking in as much air as you can and allow it to fill your diaphragm.Hold that breathe for a moment, tighten your abdominal muscles, and exhale through your mouth as if blowing up a balloon.
I know when I do this I feel refreshed!
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
For cooking (I use MCT Oil too) See my other post for the tons of MCT Benefits

Colon Cleanse
