Thread: Intense hiking trip during hcg?

You would basically stay on plan and try to pace yourself as much as possible. I'd split my meals up so that you can eat something every couple of hours to keep your blood sugar more steady. Stay hydrated.

There are no special provisions in the protocol for extra strenuous days. Remember that the HCG is mobilizing your fat stores which your body is currently using for energy, so you will have strength from that. You'll probably feel fine, although you may notice less endurance. However, don't be surprised if you have some muscle inflammation from the extra exertion and stall or even gain for a day or two afterward. Don't stress about it if it happens, it will come off.

I would definitely eat something at breakfast time. You could have your apple for breakfast, do two meals with protein and another fruit snack to let you eat 4 times, or your could break it up even more if you like or switch it around another way. You can arrange the meals however you like as long as you don't eat both portions of one thing at the same meal.

The protocol is very clear that you can re-arrange the two 4-item meals as you like.

If you are concerned about feeling week with just a fruit, you might want to consider splitting your protein so you have protein each time you eat.
