What an HCG Plateau Really Is

August 28, 2010

If you've been following the protocols pretty closely then you can count on some

plateauing to help your body with the fat shed.

I've been doing a LOT of researching on HCG and this part blew me away.

The conventional wisdom is that once you've gained fat cells that's it. They're

with you forever. The only variable is how big or small they are (and lots of

fat in 'em creates the cottage cheese effect so many of us are too familiar

with.)

HCG sucks out the fat from these cells. Literally empties them out. As a

result you now have an empty fat cell sack. Then a miracle starts to occur.

Those cell membranes once emptied begin to get *reabsorbed back into the body*.

They literally melt away, disappear (unless you go back to hi fat etc and

recreate them which is of course always possible).

The process requires them to fill up with fluid once the fat is gone to help

with the reabsorption process. So instead of a deflated cell sac deteriorating

in your body you have a full juicy one and then the process can go thru without

a hitch. This 'retention of fluid' is temporary and required for these cell

membranes to reabsorb.

When I see that I've only dropped a tiny bit or not at all it gets me excited

because I know that my fat cells are doing their disappearing dance.

Once doctor with a clinic doing HCG wrote that the apple day is for

psychological purposes only. The protocol of eating up to 6 apples with as

little water as possible is designed to force fluid out of those cells and then

you get a satisfying drop in weight. But they say not to do that until 4, 5 or

6 days of plateuing. However, ever if you don't do the apple day, eventually

that fluid will not be needed and your weight will go down. But it won't hurt

as long as you wait some days. The doctor wrote that an apple day is basically

done for purely psychological reasons i.e. it's frustrating not to see a drop

and this will take care of that. I still may do an apple day just for the heck

of it but again, plateuing on this (as long as you haven't done too much

'cheating') is a good thing.

FYI y'all :-)
