This is exactly why it is so important to track everything and, even more importantly, PLAN AHEAD! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Or so they say. However, in our HCG world, it actually is extremely important.

It controls your metabolism among other things. Phase 3 must be followed for 6 weeks. Absolutely no carbohydrates in the first 3 weeks and introducing them slowly back into your diet the 2nd 3 weeks always weighing yourself daily to insure no weight gain! Weigh yourself at home on the day of your last injection (liw).

Specifically, you can eat beef like extra lean, grass-fed ground beef or buffalo, different lean cuts of chicken, and lean fish options like scallops, whitefish, and some shellfish including shrimp, lobster, and crab. Dairy lovers will love that this diet doesn't require that they give up all forms of dairy.

Oddly enough, if you eat over 500 calories/day, or foods not on the diet (i.e. a bite of a donut), you will often have severe hunger. It seems counter-intuitive, but it is important that your fat stores are full when you begin the 500 calorie/day diet, since your body uses these first for energy.

Phase 3 Meal Plan

The final three weeks of the HCG diet involves eating at maintenance for your desired body weight. If you haven't reached your goal weight yet, this will allow you to continue losing weight slowly while teaching you how you should eat for the rest of your life to remain healthy.

If you should go back to the normal diet when the HCG is still within your body liberating the store fat, you will end up gaining a reasonable amount of weight.

We recommend 800-1200 calorie (Female) and 1200-1500 (Male) intake during this phase, depending on your lifestyle. Choosing items from page 11 is your best bet. You may also begin to reintroduce exercise during this phase!

How do you eat on the hCG diet? ›

The HCG diet plan recommends eating either 500 or 800 calories spread over two meals per day. The timing of these meals isn't critical, but in general, calories are divided fairly equally between lunch and dinner. An intake of 800 calories per day (or lower) is considered a very low calorie diet (VLCD).
