The HCG diet requires more than just the drops. It requires a strict 500 calorie diet that eliminates fats, oils, sugar, and junk food while restricting carbohydrates. The diet's main focus is on proteins, vegetables, and fruits. There is a list available of approved foods, along with instructions, shopping lists, and HCG recipes to give you direction and support so your diet can be as effective as possible.
Participants of the HCG diet are provided with a list of foods that are acceptable to eat which will help your body's metabolism reset. It will also help you keep the weight off after the 23 or 40 days of the HCG diet. On any given day, you can start your day off with black coffee or herbal teas- chamomile, green, or yerba matte. If you are a tea or coffee lover, you are in luck. There is no limit on how much coffee and tea you can drink so you can drink as much as you want if you are feeling hungry and it is important to drink enough so you can maintain good circulation. The downside is sweeteners and sugar cannot be used. Sorry all you coffee creamer and sugar lovers out there. However, the use of stevia and one tablespoon of milk can be used every twenty-four hours.
When restricted to a strict 500 calorie diet, you may be wondering what you can and cannot eat for lunch and dinner that compliment the HCG diet. There is a wide assortment of foods available for consumption such as cooked vegetables- namely spinach, celery, and tomatoes. Acceptable meats include skinless chicken breasts, beef or veal, and approved fish. Meats need to be free of additives such as oil and breading. Every food must come from the approved list because not all fruits and vegetables are approved, i.e. grapes, melons, bananas, and pineapples. Dried or canned fruits and vegetables are prohibited as well. One minor stipulation is that you cannot eat the same foods twice in one day. For example, if you have veal and spinach for lunch, you cannot have the same meal for dinner. This is where creativity comes in handy and there are delicious HCG recipes available that have been provided in order to allow more options and leave you full and satisfied.
Whether you are vegan, pesco-vegetarian, vegetarian, or a meat eater, there is a HCG recipe for you! These two recipes are simple, fast, and make the HCG diet easy. This recipe is for Cajun White Fish. All you need is 100 g. of white fish, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp paprika, 2 tsp. garlic salt, and cup water. First, using a tenderizer, gently pat fish until all uneven spots on the fish are flattened out. Then rub both sides of the fish with chili powder, paprika, and 1 tsp of garlic salt. Using a frying pan, pre-heat the pan on medium-low heat until it sizzles when water is dropped on it. Place the fish in the pan and slowly add the water and the remainder of the garlic salt. Continue to cook the fish slowly on medium-low, turning frequently, until cooked all the way through. This next recipe is for a chicken burger. Believe it or not, burgers are allowed. What you'll need is 4 oz of ground chicken (we recommend organic), 1 tsp onion salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp dry mustard, 2 cups lettuce and 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Combine all of the ingredients with the ground chicken breast and shape into small patties. On medium heat, grill patties until cooked. Wrap burger in lettuce to replace buns and use balsamic vinaigrette as a garnish.
Because HCG recipes require specific quantities of ingredients, such as 4 oz of ground chicken or 3.5 oz of zucchini, a food scale may come in handy because the more accurate the measurements the more effective the diet. It is important that meats and fish are measured before they are cooked to ensure you are eating the correction portion size. If the diet is done properly with the right foods and the right amounts, you will see and feel the results as you shed off those extra pounds and achieve your weight loss goals through the HCG diet.
