Beware of Artificial Sweeteners!
One of the biggest mistakes people make while on hcg is thinking that it’s okay to drink diet sodas! What they do not realize is the artificial sweetener in diet drinks often keeps some people from losing weight! Some may even gain weight! This is such a “rough” topic because….(trust me, I am talking about myself here), many of us are addicted to these wonderful bubbly treats! I have to say, though, I did not think I could give them up but after learning to eat healthy while on hcg, it was definitely easier than I thought! Although now, I do have a diet drink occasionally…and I mean OCCASIONALLY! I’m working towards giving them up completely…so wish me luck on that!! J Just remember, if you are still having diet drinks on hcg and still losing weight…that’s great but think about the long term! Hcg is about a lifestyle change, and as your hypothalamus is being reset, we don’t want mess that up with artificial sweeteners…it’s just not worth it!!!
