The stabilization is the last phase in the oral HCG diet program. It might seem a bit too much to handle, especially for the dieters who chose to follow the longest, 43-day diet, in which they subjected their bodies to detox and a very low calorie diet, of only 500 calories a day, during the maintenance phase. However, stabilization is vital for the efficiency of the HCG weight loss program, and here is why:
Most dieters, especially those who follow drastic diets, fear the yoyo effect post-dieting more than whether they’d be able to lose weight or not. Indeed, if you get fat again once you stopped dieting, all your effort was for nothing. Some diets are so drastic that it is simply not worth following them unless you can keep the weight off for good, or at least in the long-term.
The stabilization phase of the HCG drops treatment makes sure that you won’t suffer the yoyo effect once you stop taking the drops. Its name is self-explanatory – the role of this phase is to stabilize your metabolism and prevent any oscillations. After taking HCG drops, you’ve just managed to speed up the pace at which your body burns the fat, and now your goal is to keep its speed high. Stabilization makes all this possible.
How? It is simple. Human body rejects sudden changes. If you lose weight fat, it will become alert and start to store once you eat normally again. If you drink too little water, it will start to store water just in case you plan to dehydrate it further. If you want to change the way your body works and prevent such a reaction, the change must be smart and, first of all, slow.
Stabilization lasts for 28 days. What you must do in this phase is start eating slightly more than you used to during the maintenance phase. This means that you should add 50-70 calories every day to your 500-calorie maintenance intake. Make an extra effort and really count these calories, so you don’t take any chances.
