HCG Diet Recipes Phase 3

Congratulations – you have completed Phase 2 of the HCG Diet and lost an unbelievable amount of weight during the past six weeks (four in some cases). You are now ready to move forward with Phase 3 of the HCG Diet where you will stabilize your body at this new, trimmer weight. Are you ready for some more HCG Diet recipes? Phase 3 lets you incorporate many new foods into your daily meal plan. This gives you increased variety each day.

If you have reached your target weight loss goal, you will remain on Phase 3 before moving to Phase 4 – lifelong maintenance. If you still have more weight to lose, you may need additional cycles of HCG injections. If so, you will stabilize with Phase 3 for a shorter time before repeating Phases 1 and 2 again. This process can be continued as many times as necessary until you complete your weight loss.

Because the recipes for Phase 2 of the HCG Diet are so delicious and easy to prepare, many people ask us how to convert them for Phase 3. In the next two sections, we will show you how to incorporate additional mealtime options into your HCG Diet plan Phase 3 recipes.

How to Convert Your HCG Diet Phase 2 Recipes for Phase 3

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is all about making the right choices. Your caloric intake will first increase to 1000 calories a day, and, depending on your results and how your body handles this process, you will then move up to 1200 calories a day. Your weight loss advisor here at Weight Loss Medical Center will guide you through this process. When it comes to HCG Diet recipes for Phase 3, it is best to use your Phase 2 recipes as the basis for your new meal plans.

For example, when looking to convert a dinner of Shirataki noodles, marinara sauce, and meatballs for Phase 3, you could add eggplant to the marinara sauce. Your chicken or steak stir fry can now have cashews or nut butter added for an authentic touch. A nice salmon and spinach quiche made with real butter and some cream cheese is great for breakfast and lunch.
