If you are enjoying the diet and seeing the daily results, you will succeed. HCG Diet Blog. More Articles. What is your BMI and is it important? Slow Weight Loss? Maintenance - Finished Phase ? Now What? And can we skip it? There are two key components of the hCG diet: One is limiting your intake to to calories a day.
The eating regimen emphasizes protein from lean meats, fish and poultry, and calls for low amounts of carbohydrates or milk and modest amounts of vegetables and fruits. The other component is injecting or getting an injection of hCG, typically into your thigh, or taking it as an oral drop — either in spray form as a pellet or tablet.
Simeons, who created the diet. If a dieter has breakfast, it typically consists of a cup of black coffee or tea of any size, with no sugar, though calorie-free sweeteners are allowed. If you drink milk, you can have one tablespoon every 24 hours.
In conjunction with the paltry food regimen, the hCG diet calls for daily injections of the hormone; typically, a dieter would inject himself or herself, usually in the thigh. Or, a person on the hCG diet could ingest the hormone by swallowing drops or pills, or take it in spray form. Recommended protein sources include white fish, lobster, crab, shrimp, extra lean beef, buffalo, scallops, chicken and egg whites, according to hcgdietinfo.
Fattier choices, such as salmon, tuna, herring and dried or pickled fish, are off-limits. Dieters also need to remove the visible fat from protein sources before boiling or grilling them. One low-calorie vegetable is allowed as part of both lunch and dinner. Recommended veggies include celery, spinach, fennel, cauliflower, chard, onions, beet greens, cucumbers, green salad, mixed greens, cabbage, red radishes, shallots, asparagus, tomatoes and broccoli, according to hcgdietnfo.
My main point here is that sticking to one type of vegetable kind of creates a natural barrier to overeating on hCG, without having to think too much about it ie weighing, calculating calories, etc. Oz — actually even more fun would be on my own little hCG Diet Interviews show hehe and ask him all sorts of questions? Why this and why that? I could be utterly wrong, but this is my thinking. Simeons wanted this protocol to be easy and straightforward. To accomplish this, it makes sense to eliminate as much weighing and calorie counting as possible.
His book gave me the feeling he wanted his patients to not have to think too much about the actual diet. Your lettuce must equal 60 calories worth. You must check online nutrition stats to figure out the caloric content of romaine lettuce vs.
Your apple must be 2. That would be just plain wrong. So Dr. This would make it much more do-able for most people, and he obviously found it unnecessary to regiment it more than he did. You can review the Dr. Which is why the calories amount is in my mind approximate. You can simply go by general size. This was nice and simple. A handful of strawberries. Half a grapefruit. The veggies are the lowest calorie by volume, as well as the lowest carb outside of the meat of course , so this food group seems okay to have the most freedom, and it seems to me a natural mechanism to help a person naturally not eat too much of the veggies is by having them simply stick to one veggie.
When you mix veggies in a salad or soup or saute etc. I actually DID weigh my veggies out to a certain calorie amount my first round and it was a lot of extra work. I did mix my vegetables quite frequently in Phase 2, but when I did I just made sure to use small amounts of each one, and not eat so much that I felt too full.
If you are eating beef, that has the highest calorie content for the grams, which means your veggie calorie intake would be on the lower end then, and with shrimp and white, this is some of the lowest calorie per gram portion, so you could go on the higher end for your veggies. Even with carefully mixing my veggies.
I am going on vacation for 7 days and will have been on hcg 3 weeks. It is only when the hcg is taken in conjunction with following the very specific diet that rapid weight loss occurs. Many people claim that they can eat green beans, broccoli or turkey and still lose weight. However, they will never know how much weight they could have lost if they followed the diet as instructed.
