5 Rules on How to Do Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Rule #1: Never ever eat starches and sugars while on the P3 of the HCG Diet

But why? Why should I stay away from foods high in carbs? Let me tell you why. Foods high in carbs can cause a fluctuation in your insulin levels and this can affect your blood sugar level and fat storage. After doing the 500-calorie diet, your body becomes more sensitive. After some time, your body will soon adjust. What you can do right now is to avoid these foods.

Here are some starchy and sugary rich foods that you may want to avoid:

Beans

Lentils
Split Pea
Garbanzos
Beans

All grains

Rice that includes the brown rice
Barley
Corn that includes the chips and tortillas
Quinoa
Wheat

Sugars

Cakes
Ice cream
Cookies
Other obvious sugar sources

Fruits

Avoid fruits that are high in fructose sugar. You may want to include berries on your meal but you have to limit it about ½ cup.

There are also foods with hidden carbohydrates like:

Nuts – A cup of nuts contains about 20 grams of carbs. You can have them but in a lesser amount.
Milk- Check the labels of dairy products. A cup of milk has about 12 grams of carbs and sugar.

Rule #2: Gradually introduce calories into your system

Many dieters seem to get confused with P3. Yes, you can increase your calorie intake to at least 1450 calories a day but you have to do this gradually. You cannot right away start eating on a normal phase or you’ll end up gaining more weight.

You might want to consider this guide here:

During the FIRST WEEK on P3: 900 to 1000 calories per day

During the SECOND WEEK on P3: 1100 TO 1200 calories per day

During the THIRD WEEK on P3: 1300 TO 1450 calories per day

Rule #3: Introduce FATS slowly

This is because your body is still sensitive to fats. So, introduce fats back into your diet slowly.

Rule #4: Follow the 2 pounds rule

Keep your weight 2 pounds higher within your last day of weight on your last day of injection. Don’t be confused. Your last day weight is the day during your last injection. However, you might want to skip this rule for some reasons. Check this out now.

Rule #5: P3 Steak Days only when needed

Do the Steak Day only if you go more than 2 pounds above your last day of weight. When your last day weight is 165 and you woke up one morning weighing 172 pounds, then it’s time for you to do the steak day.

How are you going to do this? The whole day you are going to fast then when evening comes, you eat a large steak with an apple or a tomato as your dinner. Steak day allows your body to create a balance of calorie over the two days. The protein content is also good for letting go of water retention.

Am I going to be hungry during the normal mealtime? Actually, yes but the hunger calls usually go away after some time when you don’t respond to them. If you are a first-timer, you might find it a little bit harder. However, your body will get used to fasting after some time.

The First Week of HCG Diet Phase 3

Here is everything that you need to know about the first week of the HCG Diet phase 3. Keep in mind that your official HCG Diet Phase 3 starts three days after your last injection.

Your Day One: Double the amount of your meat intake from what you use to consume during the P2. Your goal is to consume about 700 calories per day. Do not start doing Phase 3 without doing the transition period. You can only begin with the P3 if you finish the three-day transition period.

Your Day Two: After doubling up the amount of protein intake, you will start to add some vegetables to your food intake. You may begin to introduce new vegetables like zucchini and Brussels. Try adding new meats too like turkey. Remember to count your calories and weigh yourself each day.

Your Day Three: During your third day, continue doing what you’ve been doing during your first and second day. You can now start introducing back fruits into your diet.

Your Day Four: Increase your calorie intake by 500 calories. One way to do this is to introduce back dairy to your diet. You can have yogurt or white cheese and sweetened it with fruits and stevia. However, add only one type of dairy at a time and see if it affects your weight.

Your Day Five: If you didn’t notice any weight gain after adding dairy into your diet, go ahead and adds another kind of meat or perhaps a few more dairy. At this point also, you may start incorporating exercise into your daily routine. Exercise will help your metabolism adjust to your new weight.

Your Day Six: You may continue experimenting with meats, veggies and dairy together. However, do not forget to add new foods one at a time only.

Your Seven Day: Take note of any changes in your weight and the foods that you are eating. If a particular food causes you to gain some weight then try to avoid that food. During this day, your calorie intake should be at 900 calories per day. Make sure that you will follow the “2 Pounds rule” of the P3. Your weight must be no higher than the 2 pounds from your end weight during Phase 2 of the HCG diet.

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is so crucial that you must NOT skip. Your first couple of days must be hard but you need to do your best and follow the 2 pounds rule. If you will gain more than 2 pounds then do the Steak day. During your last 2 weeks, you will continue to increase your calorie intake gradually adding more foods until you reach 1200-1500 calories a day.

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

P3 of the HCG Diet is one of the most important parts of the HCG diet. Understanding how to do this phase is the key to a lasting success.

But what exactly is Phase 3 of the HCG diet?

Phase 3 of the HCG diet is often known as the HCG maintenance phase of the diet. After you’ve successfully done the first 2 phases, whether you are doing the 46-day round or the 26-day round, you will have to go to the next phase which is the maintenance phase. The maintenance phase starts immediately after the hormone is out of your body, that’s about 3 days after your last dose of the HCG.

How to do the P3?

Since there will be no HCG left in your body, you must increase the amount of your food intake. You will start to increase your calorie consumption from the 500 calories a day to 1200 calories.

You may start reinforcing back varieties of food. However, you cannot do these too fast. Calories must be brought back in a way that will not shock your body or may lead you to gain weight.

From Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches, he explained that dieters can start consuming back a higher amount of any kinds of proteins, vegetables and fruits. But dieters have to be careful of the fruits with higher sugar content. Dieter can also consume other foods in the diet provided they are very low in carbs and in sugar. Here’s how you can do phase 3 of the HCG diet:

Reintroduce back foods into your body slowly.
As much as possible, do not eat any sugars and starches.
Eat only a tiny amount of fats, nuts and dairy.
Pay attention to calories.
Cut-out whatever foods you’re eating that causes you to gain weight.
Always keep the 2 pounds rule. Keep your weight to only 2 pounds higher than your end weight during the P2.

How important is Phase 3?

Phase 3 of the HCG diet is as important as the P1 and P2. This is where a lot of dieters don’t really understand how important this phase is. That’s why there are dieters who skip this phase and end up gaining more weight back. Phase 3 is so crucial in order to maintain your new weight. During this phase, you do not have to continue eating only 500 calories a day to maintain your new weight.

Transition Phase of the HCG Diet

Now you are about to end your journey with the VLCD of the HCG diet and you are about to get yourself into the heavenly Phase 3 of the HCG diet. But wait! Before you to go the heavenly Phase 3 you need past through the transition period first.

What is the TRANSITION period from Phase 2 to Phase 3 of the HCG diet?

The transition period is the 72 hour period during your diet with HCG where you stop taking the HCG but you still continue with your 500 calorie intake a day. The transition period lasts for 72 hours. The 72 hours starts right away following your last dose of hcg hormone.

Don’t get mixed up. Your last dose of the hormone is included in the 72 hour period and not for 3 days after your last injection. If your last dose is Friday then Phase 3 of the HCG diet starts on Monday. If your last dose is Sunday, then your P3 starts on Wednesday.

The Transition period is very important because this makes sure that all traces of HCG are out of your system before you will reintroduce back a large portion of foods.

Why continue with the 500 calorie diet during the Transition period?

It takes about 72 hours for the hormones to leave the body thus making you more susceptible to losing or gaining fat. When you take in more calories even if there are still traces of HCG in your body, you could gain weight. Now as the 72 hours period comes to an end, you might get hungrier and hungrier. Now what to do about it?

How to do EAT properly during the Transition period?

Your first 24 hours following the very low calorie diet would be just like the other very low calorie diet days. But as the last 24 hours unfold, you will feel symptoms of TRUE hunger. You can do the following:

Add more calories towards the tail end of the transition period. You can add about 200-500 calories.
Eat more proteins and vegetables. Stay away from fats and oils.

Can I skip the Transition period and do the Phase 3 of the HCG diet right away?

The answer is NO. There are still traces of HCG in our body. The hormone can make your body extra sensitive to fats. So if you screw up, you can easily gain weight.
