You will begin your injections and fat load for two days. Fat loading is the most important part of this program. This phase is what will make the program succeed or fail. There are no restrictions on how much food you eat or what you drink over these two days but stick to high fats rather than sugars and starches. Make a list of your favorite foods. You will regret not getting it all in.

Expect to gain 2-6 pounds during your fat loading days, remember it is temporary. By day four you will weigh less than you did on day one. No matter how much explaining is done to reassure the client that this is a very necessary step, and that the weight gained during this time will be quickly lost, the client still continues to only partially comply.  Within the first two weeks, there is a significant difference between clients who ‘ate to capacity’ and those who did not, mainly in the areas of energy and hunger.

 A good fat load will do three things of importance for the success of this program.

1. You will shock your body into releasing optimal stored fat that you will lose for the duration of the program. We don’t normally eat like this but by doing so in this case we are basically pushing the reset button.

2. The fat load will help you avoid feeling uncomfortable during the first week of the 500 calorie days. This will decrease hunger pains, sugar withdrawals, headaches, and prevent future plateaus.

3. We will conveniently feed our body high fat foods that ignite the HCG in our system.   When we start the 500 calorie diet our body will transition nicely into using our stored fat as it knows exactly what it is targeting - our stored fat.
