How are food and HCG related during the diet?
When you start your HCG diet, typically you eat as much as you want the first two days “loading days”. This allows the HCG to start taking effect. After that you are on a strict 500-calorie/day diet that we at Medical Aesthetics of New England will provide you. This calorie restriction is continued for 3 days after the HCG is finished, giving time to let the HCG leave your system. It is also important to gradually ease into a higher calorie diet. We have a special program that will help you with this phase also.
