Tips for Success on Your hCG Diet!

1. Have a sweet craving you just can’t fight?  You can make yourself an iced coffee with Stevia. It's not quite like Starbucks, but you can try that. Also you may like to take your handful of strawberries and make a smoothie to drink. Just add water, ice and Stevia in your blender. You won't even be cheating!


2. When I felt hungry between meals. I would roll a bite or two of left over chicken into a leaf of lettuce like a sandwich and it made a good snack. Then I would cut back on the amount of meat (chicken, fish, etc.) at the next meal.



3.  To stay on the hcg diet, I found that eating a sliced tomato or cucumber with salt and pepper between meals really helped to keep me going and on target with the next meal. You can even broil the tomato in the oven or toaster oven with some spices. I'm not sure why it was so satisfying. It is on the hormone diet, and the few (fat free, sugar free) calories didn't seem to hinder my losing weight.



4.  Plan your weekly menu and cook everything on Sunday.  Separate your portions out into ziploc bags and Tupperware and never worry about being without your hCG portioned meal!




Always on the go on your hCG diet?  Try these quick tips to help stay on track...

• Order a plain hamburger patty with a side of sliced tomato and some strawberries for dessert.
• Run into your local grocery store and grab a ready made salad.  Use some salsa as your dressing.  Even grabbing some fat free cottage cheese from the grocery store will be better for your diet than eating a piece of chicken cooked in oil from a local restaurant.
• When ordering white fishes or chicken in restaurants make sure to specifically ask that there be seasoning only, no butter or extra sauces.  Order some steamed asparagus with no butter and you have a beautiful evening out!
