The HCG Diet is one that severely limits the amounts and types of foods that a person ingests in order to lose the most weight. However, for those that are emotional eaters the urge to cheat on the diet is going to be there even more than before. Simply because the hunger and the idea of eating is going to tear at their mind. So in order to make sure that emotional eating does not ruin your weight loss on the diet, the person should be sure to keep a few things in mind.
First, if you feel that when you go to the grocery that you are going to buy those impulse buys, then consider having someone else go to the grocery for you, thus removing temptation. Be sure to provide them with a list itemizing your meal plan.
Secondly, when you feel that the stress is getting the better of your life and you would normally turn to food to decrease the stress, take up a meditation exercise like yoga. This will not only help deal with the stress, but also help to tone your body along the way.
Third of all, consider going to an emotional eater support group, where you can talk with others the pressures you are feeling about cheating on the diet and receive words of encouragement, as well as other ways that people have battled the problem of emotional eating. While some cities have HCG clinics which can provide this added level of support, most do not. The best thing to do in this case is to jump online and utilize the many HCG support forums out there.
