The hCG diet does not guarantee that you will lose weight and keep it off for the rest of your life. Indeed, all of your success on this protocol will be completely undermined if you make a particularly common mistake afterwards. Indeed, this is the worst mistake that you can make.
And the worst mistake is: Consuming Wheat Products
Yup. When you eat wheat or wheat products you give your body a dietary jolt that you don't want. It comes from the complex carbohydrates in wheat that are the darlings of dietitians. The term "complex" just refers to a repeating chain of glucose molecules that comprise the starch in wheat.
Conventional dietary wisdom advises us to increase our intake of complex carbohydrates such as wheat starch and to reduce our intake of table sugar (sucrose) or other such simple carbohydrates. (A molecule of sucrose contains only two simple sugars - one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose).
The problem with wheat starch derives from how fast it can be digested. The glucose molecules are arranged in a specific type of complex that is referred to as amylopectin A, which is easier to breakdown in your digestive tract than any other type of complex carbohydrate. The net effect is that glucose from amylopectin A spikes in your bloodstream sooner that it does from any other source of starch foods such as potatoes, bananas, or beans.
In fact, whole wheat bread causes a greater spike in blood sugar (glucose) than sucrose itself. Eating a sandwich with two slices of whole wheat bread is no different, and often worse, than drinking a can of sugary soda or eating a sugary candy bar.
You certainly already know about the negative impact of sugary foods for adding unwanted pounds of fat to your body once you finish the hCG diet protocol. Now add wheat and wheat-based products to the list, because they cause exactly the same unwanted weight gain. Indeed, these kinds of foods are probably responsible for getting you into the situation where you wanted to do the hCG diet in the first place. Stay on track with your target weight now by avoiding all wheat products, regardless of whether they are refined or whole-grain. This includes such foods as breads, breakfast cereals, bagels, pastas, pastries, cookies, crackers, and anything else you find that contains wheat flour or wheat grains.
Oh, and here is one more kicker about wheat starch that makes it the worst food you can eat for weight-management: the surge in blood glucose (and insulin) from eating wheat causes a 2-hour roller coaster ride of satiety and hunger that continues throughout the day. Hunger hits a couple of hours after a breakfast of cereal and toast, which drives the consumption of lousy snack foods (more wheat!), which results in more hunger a couple of hours later, followed by more snacking, etc., etc. Bad news all around!
Consuming wheat, in any form, is the main cause of repeated cycles of high blood sugar, which leads to storing more fat. It is, indeed, the worst mistake that most people make once they finish the hCG diet.
