What to Eat On the HCG Diet

Making the decision to start the HCG Diet takes commitment and determination. Knowing what to eat on the HCG Diet before you begin is vital to your weight loss success. This is not a program that you can just enter into without any planning. If you do, you will be wasting your money away and not seeing the results you desire.

There is not much to do before beginning the HCG Diet. There is no need to ask what to eat before starting HCG Diet because we build into Phase 1 how to get going. If you are ready, let us begin.

What to Eat On HCG Diet during Phase 1

Once you receive your complete HCG Diet Kit with all of your medications and supplies, you will be ready to begin. If you have already received your instruction guide, meal plans, and recipe booklet you have probably planned out your first week. Before you get to the weight loss of Phase 2, you have to start with what to eat on HCG Diet Phase 1.

Days one and two are considered Phase 1. These are your load days where you begin your injections but do not yet start “dieting.” In fact, you will be doing quite the opposite on these days. The requirement here is that you consume a minimum of 2000 calories each day. The only thing to keep in mind is the amount of sugar in the foods you choose. Fat is good, sugar is bad so avoid candy and soft drinks that do not provide high levels of fat.

Here are some pointers for what to eat on HCG Diet load days:

• Pizza
• Pasta
• Ham
• Bread and bagels
• Burgers and fries
• Ribs
• Loaded baked potatoes
• Rice
• Waffles
• Pancakes
• Bacon and sausage
• Pastries, donuts, and cake
• Full fat ice cream
• Cheese and milk

HCG Diet Phase 2 Food Choices

Day three of your HCG injections is when you get down to the serious business of losing around a pound a day of excess and unwanted fat. You will eat no more than 800 calories a day taking only foods on the allowed food list.

Here is what to eat on HCG Diet Phase 2:

• From the sea – lobster, crab, shrimp, grouper, tilapia, mahi-mahi
• From the ranch – 95% lean ground beef, London broil, lean beef roast, venison, buffalo, elk

The items above are the basis for your meal plan. By knowing what to eat on an HCG Diet, you can increase your success.

You will receive a complete list will all spices, condiments, and beverages as part of your HCG Diet Kit.

What to Add During Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Once you finish your six weeks of HCG injections, you will then begin Phase 3 of the HCG Diet. This is when you get to gradually increase your caloric intake – first to 1000 and then to 1200 each day. You will also add other foods back into your meal plan. Regarding what to eat on HCG Diet Phase 3, the most important thing to remember is that you must still abstain from sugar, grains, and carbohydrates until you reach Phase 4.

HCG Diet Phase 4 Foods

By the time you reach Phase 4, you will have met your weight loss goal. Because this is the maintenance part of the program, you can eat anything you want (keep moderation in mind). Always remember that your old dietary habits put the weight on in the first place, and if you start eating like that again – well, you know what will happen.

There is no particular list for what to eat on HCG Diet Phase 4. Do not be surprised when you notice your cravings and tastes have changed. Many people never return to eating sugar, and often lose their desire for very sweet desserts. If you do choose to partake in some of your old favorites, be aware of portion sizes. You may find that one or two bites satisfy your taste buds.
