HCG Diet Tip 6: Stay Busy

Try to stay busy on Phase 2 of the HCG Diet... That way you are not constantly looking at the clock wondering when you get to eat next or how long until your next dose of HCG.

When experiencing hunger while on HCG P2, it’s usually not that our bodies are physically hungry, but our minds are telling us that we are hungry. It's natural for your body to tell you to eat when your stomach is empty, but your stomach does not know that you are getting 1,500-4,000 calories per day released into your blood steam from the HCG hormones.

Keep your mind busy so that it doesn’t have time to think about the fact that the on the HCG VLCD your body is physically eating so little.

Do things to stay busy on the HCG Diet such as:

Organize closets.
Clean out kitchen or office drawers.
Organize storage areas or basements.
Find things you don't need any more and consider preparing for a garage sale.
Read a good book or work on a puzzle you've been putting off.
Watch feel-good movies or comedies to make you laugh.
Walk around malls or department stores looking for new, skinny clothes.
If you're a girl — paint your nails or curl your hair.
Get creative and build or make something with your hands. If your hands are busy, your mind is usually at rest.

Check ALL the ingredients of everything you are putting into and onto your body while on HCG P2.
