I have abruptly stopped the hcg diet and am gaining weight. how do i stop this!?

Reset metabolism: The HCG diet puts your body into starvation mode and changes metabolic 'set point.' and then when you resume normal diet, your metabolism has been altered and you gain weight. Best at this point is to change metabolic set point with increased exercise and normal 1400-1600 kcal diet, depending on your height/weight. You should see scale start to bend back. Good luck!

Not on protocol: if you abruptly stop the injections & don't follow the protocol for the maintenance phase, you WILL gain the weight back. The 3 weeks following the injections are just as important as Phase 2. There are ways to deal with interruptions while on the plan, but they are very specific. Your Dr. should discuss this in detail with you . You can read "Pounds & Inches" by Simeons for more info.
