You're ready to start the HCG Diet protocol but you're wondering what to eat. The first thing you need to do is read Dr. Simeons' manuscript Pounds and Inches. You will also be given a list of allowed foods on the HCG Diet low calorie phase. Now you need to put it all together and make sense of what a typical day will be like. To make it easier for you, we have put together sample low-calorie meal plans for two days. This will give you a clearer picture of what to eat.
Sample 500 Calorie Menus
BreakfastTea or coffee 5 calories1 tablespoon of 2 % milk - 8 calories
LunchGrilled chicken breast (100 grams weighed raw) 110 calories Slaw (cabbage with vinegar, water and Stevia dressing) 40 caloriesMedium sized apple - 80 caloriesGrissini breadstick - 20 calories
DinnerGrilled shrimp (100 grams weighed raw) -110 caloriesLettuce (1.5 cups) with same dressing as lunch 15 caloriesOrange - 60 caloriesMelba toast - 20 calories
Total calories - 460 calories
Suggestions
Remember you can move your fruits and Melba toast around. For example, eat one fruit for breakfast if that makes life easier for you. Eat your second fruit as an afternoon snack or for a mid-evening snack. The same applies to the Melba toast and Grissini breadsticks. Use them as mid-morning and afternoon snacks if you wish instead of eating them with meals.
If you are not craving sweets, try a healthy veggie snack to get you through. Slice a tomato or cucumber with a little seasoning. It will keep you on target and have only a small impact on your weight loss (if any at all.)
If boredom is your problem, once in a while substitute a scrambled or hard-boiled egg for your protein.
In summary, keep the sweets out of the house and turn to fruits and veggies if you absolutely must cheat on the HCG Diet.
Next, realize that cheating (no matter how minor it may seem) will leave its effects on your weight for three days! That means you will stall and/or gain for three days after you cheat! Consider how that will affect you emotionally. Imagine the guilt you will carry for quite some time after. Is it really worth it?
