How Wheat Starch Can Ruin Your HCG Diet

By Dr. Dennis Clark


Many people are using the HCG diet to lose extra pounds and to keep them off. 

Yet, you need to be very careful about the things that you eat when you are on this type of program. Eating foods that contain wheat starch may be a bad idea and here are reasons why.


When you first start the HCG diet you must go though the loading phase and then comes the hard part. You consume very low calories and must be careful about the kind of foods that you eat. 

However, it is common to lose weight every day in a consistent manner with this kind of eating. Yet, this is not where many people make terrible mistakes.


Many people fail with their HCG diet maintenance plan. 

After all, this is something that you need to live with every day for the rest of your life. It is easy to tell someone never to eat any kind of wheat products. Yet, it is another thing to follow this instruction day in and day out.


When you eat wheat products you receive concentrated carbohydrates loaded with sugar or glucose. Wheat starch is very easy for the body to digest and turn into glucose for food. 

You may seek to eat foods that will digest quickly to make it easier on the digestive system. However, when you eat the kind of carbs in wheat starch, it can cause problems.


If you are trying to lose weight you should avoid sweets for several reasons. Sweets contain a lot of empty calories but they also make your blood glucose spike. 

However, eating a sandwich can cause blood sugar levels to spike as high as eating a sweet dessert. The higher something goes up the lower it will drop in proportion, and this is what happens with blood sugar levels.


When your blood sugar suddenly falls you become hungry. 

It makes no difference if it has only been a short time since your last meal. This is why many people eat when they should not. They are taking in foods that actually make them hungry in a short amount of time.


If you are serious about keeping off the weight with an HCG diet plan, make sure to avoid wheat starch and foods that contain wheat. 

This will help to keep your blood sugar on an even keel and you will be less prone to hunger urges. Also, many people are sensitive to gluten in wheat, so you may also feel much better if you avoid wheat starch.
