The HCG diet in La Mesa is a combination of a very low-calorie diet and hormone injections to help kickstart the body to burn off unwanted fat. Because of the strict guidelines for eating, some people are worried about starting in on the plan because of food choices and the idea that they will not be able to find the right things to eat.
The good news is that you will have all of the food for fuel that your body needs. The great thing about the way that such a diet works is that you are never going to feel as though you are starving or missing out on foods. As long as you have all of the information you need regarding foods and meal planning so that you can shop in advance and do some meal preparation, you will always have the food to feed your body in the right way while on the injection protocol.
