Thread: Would it be okay to use the exercise bike for 30 mins a day?

If you are used to it, it's okay. But now is not the time to start a new exercise regimen.

Have you read Pounds and Inches? It explains the exercise aspect.

No you need to read it for yourself. Don't trust anyone else to tell you what it says.

edit. Nevermind. I found it:

Dr. ATW Simeons clearly states not to exercise strenuously on HCG diet. Some people new to the HCG diet plan have trouble comprehending why exercise is not recommended on the HCG weight loss process. While it is true that a bit of moderate exercise such as walking won’t hurt you, a lot of exercise or strenuous exercise can backfire on you while on the HCG diet plan. It is because, despite the fact that taking HCG makes you feel full, even on a five hundred calorie per day diet, the low intake of food is not sufficient for strenuous exercise.

When you start exercising on a HCG diet, the body will perceive it doesn’t have enough energy sources to rely on and it will believe you are starving. This reduces the metabolic processes and severely slows, if not all together stalls the weight loss process. This is why it is so vital that you refrain from strenuous workouts until you have achieved your set weight loss goals while using an HCG diet plan. In addition, you are already burning abnormal fat with the very low calories diet while on hCG diet. Extra exercising will result in the loss of lean muscle tissues instead.

Does being on an HCG plan mean that you have to give up exercising forever? No. In fact, once you have lost the weight you set out to lose you can put yourself on an exercise regimen to keep the weight off permanently. Meanwhile, during the dieting process, limit your exercise to brief walks, stretching, and very low impact exercises. You will find that your dieting efforts will be far more successful because you maintain a fast metabolism with a low calorie intake.
