4 Ways To Stay Motivated On The Oral Hcg Diet

The oral HCG diet is truly unique among current diet plans because it requires such a brief time commitment from its followers. The minimum amount of time is only 15 days and the maximum is 40 days. So on average, dieters will only have to spend a month dedicated to following the plan to the letter.

But even a month-long commitment can get tiresome, and dieters may find themselves tempted to cheat. Before giving in to any temptation, dieters should follow these four tips for staying motivated:

1.    Have a diet buddy

It really helps to have someone along for the journey--a spouse, a friend, or a co-worker who will keep you on the right track. This is the person you can go to in the middle of the night when you are lusting after that quart of chocolate ice cream in the freezer, and trust they will set you straight.

2.    Post visual motivation

Visual motivation is powerful. You can create a collage with pictures that make you think thin, such as things you can do or places you plan to go once you meet your goals. Or you can purchase an outfit you want to fit into and hang it where you can always see it. When the urge to cheat hits, you can look at your collage and regain you sense of perspective.

3.    Use a diet cookbook

A diet cookbook is a wonderful tool for anyone needing creative recipes. These recipes will help you vary your diet and keep your choices interesting and tempting. You'll be a lot less apt to cheat if you have a diet dessert handy.

4.    Reward with methods other than food

Set up a reward system that doesn't revolve around food. Some great rewards include spa and beauty treatments, new clothing, books or movies, an extra nap, and jewelry. Once you give yourself goals and prizes, you'll think twice before cheating. You'll wonder, is it worth giving up my prize?

Studies show that dieters are more likely to stick to a plan that has lots of positive reinforcement. So before embarking on the HCG weight loss cure, spend some time thinking of positive motivating factors to keep you on the right track. Then when the urge to cheat hits, you will be well-prepared to face down temptation.
