Maintain Weight Loss After HCG

Understanding the Importance of  Set Points

See You Tomorrow!

 

Many questions I get are about stabilizing and maintaining.

What these questions boil down to is, “how do I not gain back the weight”?

Looking at my post HCG journey the “stumble” I regret was ignoring the scale for too many days at a time. I was fitting in my jeans fine so I got too lax. Once I faced the music because I did start to notice that my jeans were fitting tighter it wasn’t that it was “too late” but I did make getting back on track more difficult for myself.

 

In a few of my blog posts I have mentioned that 2012 has had its share of life stresses.

During those times it is very easy to put discipline in the back seat and let emotions take the wheel. If I had simply mustard the courage to jump on the scale each morning my body could have settled right back into it’s comfy set point HCG got me to with only a couple of minor tweaks to get back on course.


 

Bottom line –

I think Dr. Simeon definitely got it Right.

If I had kept myself in check my body would have stayed in its new set point without a struggle.

This is my theory so bear with me here…
You figure the body has set points you have to push past when reducing.

These are the weight set points our body had settled into in the past at some time or another in our lives.

That is usually why we Plateau. Our body gets to that weight and says, “Oh I remember this place”. And for a bit thinks it is where it should be.

 

So once at goal and the body is settled into its new weight set point. It is pretty happy there. Especially when you have established that set point by doing the protocol using the phase 3 breaks between rounds to “lock in” the new set point. One, maybe two, ah heck even three little slips is no biggie as long as a person checks and sees the change on the scale and acts on that appropriately my making better choices to correct the “up flux”.

And because the body wants to be in the new and “happy to be in” set point it will respond by getting back in check.

 

But if you don’t know there has been an increase because you didn’t check the “numbers” and only relied on how clothes were fitting the weight could push toward an old set point. If you get to or past an “old set point” it can potentially open up the flood gates and cause difficulty in controlling the gain.

 

Your body might think it is time to settle into an old set point that it had been at before that we don’t want any part of.

 

 

When I goofed by not weighing daily I can tell that my body didn’t like the excess AT ALL. The extra wasn’t noticeably showing but I could feel it and it did not feel good.

If I would have caught myself in time the way Dr Simeon designed it I wouldn’t be writing this post.

But Good news is this has been a very important lesson learned for me.

And because I experienced it first hand not only do I know how to avoid that mistake in the future but I can help you do the same!
