The importance of diet and exercise

By Jon F Greene


We are all experienced diets in one form or another. For years, for most diets, conventional wisdom says that diet and exercise go together. We are indoctrinated to believe that you cannot have one without the other. For most diets that is true. However, the hCG injection diet is like no other in a number of ways.

In this article, we will discuss the roles of diet and exercise for those on the hCG injection diet. When we discuss exercise as it relates to the hCG injection diet, we talk about exercise in the strictest sense of the word, however, the more appropriate term would be increased activity.

So let?s cover the proper form of exercise for the hCG injection diet. As mentioned before, the hCG diet is not dependent upon burning excess calories to lose weight. Yet, it is also a misnomer to think that the diet requires no exercise at all. The hCG injection diet is as much about preparing the patient for success after the diet as it is about losing weight.

It is more than likely that anyone who suffers from obesity is prone to decreased activity, even a sedentary lifestyle. The hCG injection diet will bring dramatic weight loss in short order, and one has about 45 days to adjust to a new, more svelte physique. Even if one is not at their target weight, 25 ? 40 pounds lighter is significant. The principle here, is more about increased activity, and how that activity plays a vital role in your new lifestyle. So here are some tips and guidelines for exercise during your hCG injection diet.

Although exercise is not a requirement during the HCG diet, patients are encouraged to be active for at least 30 minutes per day. Low-level activity such as taking a walk, doing housework, and similar activities will be good for you and set you up for continued success after you are done with hCG injection diet.

If you are inclined to workout, implement workouts with moderate aerobic activity for 10 minutes at a time at least four times a week. These exercises can include walking, riding a bicycle, and swimming. However, keep the activity low paced. For example, walk for 10 minutes and cool down, walk for 10 minutes, then repeat. Aerobic exercise raises your heart rate and can help you gain some stamina that has been lost due to excess weight.

These activities would include walking, riding a bike, swimming or light water play. Do not engage in any one activity for more than 10 minutes at a time. For example, walk for 10 minutes, then cool down, and then repeat, increasing only as your stamina increases.

Particularly helpful are stretching exercises. This type of low level activity will help you maintain your metabolism as it changes. If you experience dizziness or shortness of breath, or inability to maintain an optimal amount of energy to get you through your day; stop exercising immediately and inform your physician of the issues.

Before you exercise or work out, check with your hCG injection diet attending physician; to verify that your health allows you to exercise while on the diet. Moderation is part of your new lifestyle. Listen to your body and do all things in moderation. Once you reach your target weight, you and the doctor can decide how to proceed from there.
