How to Let Go of Emotional Eating with the HCG Weight Loss Plan

Using HCG for weight loss is an effective way to lose a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time. The HCG diet has the added benefit of the loss of your abnormal fat stores leaving your body re-sculpted and your metabolism re-set and optimized to operate at its healthiest and most efficient levels.

Weight loss starts in the mind
One of the biggest challenges with weight loss takes place between your ears. About 80% of your weight loss success--that means losing the weight and keeping it off for a year or more--comes down to your mindset. If you are significantly overweight, by 50 pounds or more, there is a reason for that weight gain. Most often, it comes down to your emotional relationship with food.

This is not a judgment in any way, but a fact. If you continuously eat beyond the point of feeling satisfied, if you find that you eat because you are bored, sad, lonely, or angry, then you are an emotional eater.

The HCG diet can be a challenge
The HCG weight loss program follows a very strict protocol that requires you to take oral HCG drops three times per day and then follow a restrictive, very low calorie diet of a mere 500 calories per day.

The reason for this scanty amount of food is because the HCG directs your body to liberate and burn your abnormal fat stores and use this stored energy for nutrition and energy. Since your body is metabolizing thousands of fat calories per day, you only need to take in 500 very carefully selected calories each day.

So, you can see where this would create a challenge for those who are emotional eaters. If you follow this simple program, you will be forced to find other ways to deal with your emotions rather than eating to soothe them and cover them up for the moment.

Tools for letting go of emotional eating
There are lots of ways that you can learn to let go of your emotional eating habits, but it can be very challenging to do on your own. You might want to meet with a counselor or schedule some sessions with a weight loss coach so that they can work with you to help you to resolve your emotional eating patterns. This way you can overcome your weight problems once and for all.

After you've worked with a weight loss counselor or coach, there are some tools that you can use on your own to augment what you are learning. Try techniques such as the Emotional Freedom Technique, which is analogous to acupuncture for the emotions. You use your fingers to tap on specific meridian points on your body while repeating mantras specific to your challenges. This helps to resolve any blocks in your emotional energy field and give you a sense of freedom.
