What Should You Consume on a HCG Diet?
During HCG diet program, the participants are given a very strict diet of merely 500 calories each day. With such restriction in the calorie intake as well as the consumption of HCG drops, many dieters have reported a significant loss up to 2 pounds a day.
So, what do you eat during the HCG diet program? You are recommended to consume nothing for breakfast except a cup of tea or coffee without any sugar added. But if you want a sweet sensation in your coffee or tea, you may add stevia or other sweetener with no calorie. You are also allowed to eat approved fruit include an apple or 1/2 grapefruit.
As for lunch, you need to consume 100 g of protein. Foods that meet this criterion are chicken breast, veal, seafood or fresh white fish. You may choose one kind of vegetable such as cabbage, lettuce, onion, broccoli, asparagus, cucumber, spinach, cauliflower, tomato, or celery. You can have melba toast (only one piece) and an orange, an apple, several strawberries or 1/2 grapefruit.
When it comes to dinner, you may select from the same foods choices like lunch. You can have meats, vegetables and fruits, with the same the portions. To avoid boredom, you are suggested to change these selections. Remember that you have to eat organic foods only and take daily HCG drops to maximize your weight loss.
