Planning With HCG Allowed Food

By Diane Rogers


There have been many diet fads throughout the years, but one of the most extreme uses a hormone that is naturally produced in the human body, notably during pregnancy. In order for this diet to achieve the desired weight loss and fat burn, calories are severely restricted. There are also specific diet plans that use only items from an hCG allowed food list.

You can have two meals a day, lunch and dinner. Each will contain 250 calories, which seems like enough to keep a canary happy. This 'starvation' diet allows no butter or oil, and all fat must be trimmed off the meats you can eat. No sugar is included. The hCG supplement comes in pellet, spray, or liquid form.

Each of the two daily meals is structured with an item from four food groups. There will be one protein item, one vegetable, one bread, and one fruit. This gives a balanced entree, although the calorie count is much lower than the recommended daily intake. Diets this restricted in calories are not recommended by most medical doctors.

The bread might be a surprise, but don't get excited. The choice is one round of Melba toast or one bread stick. The crunchiness might be welcome as you force your body to live off its own fat stores, and the flavors will complement the vegetables that make up the bulk of your meal.

The protein can be a small piece of grilled veal or beef, white fish, or chicken breast. Lobster, crab, and shrimp are also on the list. No fat can be left on the meat before grilling. This diet is not for vegans, but the fish and seafood will allow most vegetarians to participate.

Several green leafy vegetables are on the list: spinach, chard, chicory, beet greens, and green lettuce. Cucumbers, asparagus, and cabbage are allowed, as are red radishes and onions. Surprisingly, tomatoes are on the list, as are fennel and celery. This completes the list of allowed vegetables.

Fruit can be an apple or an orange. You could choose one half of a grapefruit, or several strawberries. To round out this 'dessert' menu, you can have all the coffee, tea, or water that you want. To visualize a 250 calorie plate of four items off this list, you will need to check out the calorie count per serving of each food and put them together.

This is the ultimate calorie-counting diet, which many find too much trouble. However, some feel that a strict regime is easiest to follow. Critics say that all weight loss and fat reduction can be attributed to the calorie restrictions, and that the hCG is ineffective. However, there are many people who have used this supplement and attest to its value in helping them stay on such a rigorous program. Dieters will have to make up their own minds about whether this is a viable plan for them. Anyone with health problems should consult their medical adviser before trying it.
