Beverages
Water (including bottled and mineral water) is the best thing you can drink to avoid dehydration and create a "full" sensation in your stomach (to reduce cravings). Insufficient water consumption is by far the most common cause of hunger and cravings on the 1000 calorie diet. Xylitol and stevia are acceptable. |

Finishing Up
The 1,000-calorie diet should be continued for a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of 42 days. The hA2cg Evolution drops should be discontinued three days before the 1,000-calorie diet is completed (after 21 or 38 days of dieting). These three days will allow for continued fat release as the hA2cg is cleared from your system. Resuming normal levels of caloric intake before all traces of hA2cg have been cleared will result in dramatic weight gain.
Recipes
Recipes that are suitable for the Moderately Restricted (1,000-calorie diet) phase of the hA2cg-based weight loss program can be found in "Evolution Weight-Management Guide".
