The HCG Diet and Friendly Restaurants

Sticking to the HCG diet protocol is quite challenging. You’ll find that you need to prepare and cook for most of your meals. But there are times when you eat out. This is somewhat possible even when you are on the hcg diet.

However, there are so many things that you need to know before you order anything.

  • Be aware of the diet requirements

Take time to read and learn the hcg diet protocol before dining out during your P2. It’s important that you’re aware of the different foods allowed on the diet. This way you’ll be able to determine what menu items on the restaurant you cannot order.

There isn’t really much that you can order because most foods are prohibited. And you’re limited to just 500 calories in a day only. When you go out, keep your HCG diet food journal with you. This will make it easier for you to refer to the list rather than trying to remember what’s allowed and what’s not allowed. Most of the menu option in the restaurant won’t likely work for you during your Phase 2. This is how strict the diet can be. It will be difficult for you to find a restaurant that will accommodate you.

  • Fats are not allowed

This rules out most of the restaurant’s menu option. Another thing is your calorie intake is limited to 500 calories each day. So if you’re going to dine out you won’t be able to eat without possibly affecting your daily limit because you’re not sure with the total calorie of your menu choice.

Most of the protein choices in restaurants are cooked with fats. So even if you will order allowable protein like chicken breast, fish or beef, you still won’t be able to order it during your P2. It’s possible to dine out only on restaurants that grill or prepare your protein choices without fats.

  • Try ordering a salad

It’s simple to just order a salad rather than a full menu. This will make them easier to accommodate you. Another option that you can order is a smoothie of your favorite HCG diet approved fruits.

  • It’s easier for you to cook at home

You’re much better off cooking your own meals during your Phase 2. There are dozens of recipes that you can choose from in this website. And these recipes are very easy to prepare. It will only take about 30-45 minutes of your time.

Remember that the Phase 2 of the HCG diet is only 3-6 weeks long. Most find that it goes so quickly. So, you’re far better off dining out at restaurants so you won’t mess up and you’ll lose as much weight as possible.

Common Errors People Make During their 500 Calorie HCG Diet

Dr. Simeons stressed out in his book that even a small deviation in the protocol can slow your weight loss. So before you begin with the protocol read Dr. Simeons hcg diet protocol. Be familiar with every detail of each phase.

Here are the common errors many hcg dieters encounter during the 500 calories hcg diet.

  1. Not loading well on gorging days– Before you start with your VLCD you need to binge well on high-fat foods until your third shot of HCG. Though it seems counter-intuitive it’s important that your fat stores are full before you begin.
  2. Using the wrong spice– Some spices are mixtures of different ingredients not allowed on the HCG diet. This includes sugars, oils and starches. Before using any spices to spice up your food read the ingredients list carefully. Make sure that they are HCG approved spices.
  3. Using gums and mints– Mints and chewing gum even those that are sugar-free are off-limits.
  4. Drinking diet soda – Though diet soda may have zero calories it’s the other ingredients that can slow your weight loss off. Diet soda does not contain the actual sugar that you know but it contains other forms of sugar like aspartame that can cause a stall in your hcg diet.
  5. Dining out– Foods in the restaurants have sugars and other additives that can stall your weight loss. If you can’t really avoid dining out at least keep it to a minimum. It’s important that you prepare your own meals so that you are certain that you follow strictly the protocol.
  6. Weighing your protein portion after cooking– Well, you should weight your protein choices raw. And it should be 3.5 oz or 100 grams.
  7. Eating the same protein for lunch and dinner– It’s important to vary your protein option during your VLCD.
  8. Weighing at different times each day– Weight yourself at around the same time every day. Ideally, you should weight after urinating in the morning before breakfast.
  9. Getting dehydrated– For optimum weight loss drink adequate water every day. But do not overdo.
  10. Using of Oil-based beauty products– What you put on your skin is absorbed by your body just like what you put in your body. So, avoid oil-based cosmetics, lotions and other oil-based hygiene products.
  11. Mixing your vegetablesIs Mixing of Vegetables on Phase 2 of HCG diet a YES or a NO? Mixing vegetables aren’t actually allowed while you’re on a VLCD. But some people can lose weight even when mixing vegetables. If you want to mix yours, keep in mind in the event your weight loss stops.

Best Ways to Cheat on the HCG Diet

Are you bored with all those food restrictions? Are you going to scream if you have to eat fish or chicken for ANOTHER MEAL? Sometimes all you need is a little variety to help you get past through another day on the HCG diet. If only you could cheat…just once! Is there a way?

Now, I want to start writing this post by saying” there is NO WAY I am condoning CHEATING on the HCG diet. I discourage anyone from cheating at all because cheating can sabotage your diet. But people still do cheat despite knowing what cheating on the HCG diet can do.

My purpose for writing is not to encourage you to cheat. I am writing to help you make a better decision about how you will cheat.

So if you are going to cheat on the HCG diet, this is how you should do it.

  1. Stay away from fast food: Do not go near fast food restaurant if you find the sudden urge to cheat. Eating at fast food restaurant off and on the hcg diet is one of the worst things that you could do to yourself.
  2. Stay away from carb and sugar: Sugar on the HCG diet is a BIG NO. So, stay away from it. If you want to cheat, cheat on something that is sugar-free.
  3. Keep it to a minimum: Don’t go big when you cheat. Keep it small.

Foods to Cheat With on the HCG Diet

  1. Vegetables-There are lots of vegetables that you can snack on.
  2. Fruits– Cheating on some sweet fruits that aren’t allowed on the HCG diet wouldn’t be that bad. Watermelon, for example, makes a good cheat. It’s high in water content and low in sugar.
  3. Cottage cheese– Get a fat-free cottage cheese. You can use it alone or add an extra flavor to your carb choices or fruits.
  4. Whole wheat crackers– This can actually be better than the standard Melba toast and breadstick. Just make it sure that you will pick a brand and portion size with the same nutrition and calorie count as Melba toast or Grissini stick.

Again, cheating on the HCG diet is not allowed. But if you must cheat, cheat wisely. Another thing, you might also consider increasing your hcg dosage. And if that doesn’t work, try to eat some miracle noodles to fill you up.

Dealing with Emotional Eating

How is your relationship with foods? Is food your snuggly bear? We often do not give it much thought. We eat in order to be healthy and we know that sometimes we need to lose a bit here and there.

But are you really addressing your issues with foods when you try to lose those pounds away? Is there really an underlying problem that you need to fix first to help you keep the weight off for good?

The answer is a BIG YES! There is… and you cannot just fix the issues overnight. Without addressing this deep-rooted issue, you may not be successful in losing your weight and keeping them off for good. HCG diet will help you reveal and highlight some underlying issues and struggles you have with foods.

How are you going to change your relationship with foods?

  1. Be aware of what you eat

Sometimes eating becomes a mindless habit-like eating while watching your favorite show. You eat and you do not pay attention to what you eat. Before you knew it you’ve eaten the whole bag of potato chips and you’re not even hungry at all.

What’s the solution?

Take a step back and ask yourself. “Do I really need to eat all of this? Am I really hungry?

  1. Find enjoyment in other things rather than eating

There is nothing wrong with indulging yourself in a delicious piece of chocolate cake. Indulgence is perfectly okay. The problem comes when you turn yourself into that delicious piece of cake for a few minutes of happiness because you can’t find enjoyment elsewhere.

What’s the solution?

Find something that makes you happy besides foods. Try to read a book or take a long hot shower.

  1. Have a precious “me” time

There are times when you turn yourself into foods for comfort when you are sad or mad. But turning to your comfort foods to numb the feeling of sadness and fear can cause you to make unhealthy choices which will lead you to a never-ending path of self-destruction.

What’s the solution?

Try to vent your feeling in a positive way. Have a precious “me” time.

  1. Rest, relax

Lack of sleep and rest are really huge factors of emotional eating. When you’re stressed you do not pay attention to what you eat and how much you eat. The cortisol hormone in your body also rises causing you to gain weight.

What’s the solution?

Simple! Get enough rest. Sleep for 6-8 hours. It’s important to help keep your body at a healthy weight. Enough rest can also help you fight stress. Try relaxing music if you find it hard to sleep. Avoid drinking coffee in the afternoon too.

  1. Love your body

One of the biggest causes of emotional eating is poor self-image. Most people tend to say that they will start to love their self after they lose the weight off.

But not loving yourself before you lose weight will prevent you from seeing a lasting weight loss success.

What’s the solution?

Love your body before you decide to make any changes. If you’re confident with how you look right now, think how much more confident you’ll be after losing those pounds away.

Deeper Reasons for Losing Weight

There is nothing wrong with wanting to look better or wanting to wear smaller clothes for an upcoming party or a trip. But your reason for losing weight shouldn’t be superficial.

Why are deeper reasons important?

  • Help you stick and maintain your weight loss goal even after the hcg diet.
  • Prevent you from doing some “shortcuts” just to lose weight faster.
  • Prevent you from giving up when you don’t see any change in your scale.

Possible deeper reasons

  1. To have more energy for the family
  2. To stay healthy and fit
  3. To see your kids, grandchildren grow
  4. Wanting to grow old with your husband
  5. Having a healthier and fertile body in order to start a family
  6. To lower your cholesterol level; anything that has something to do with having a good health. Another is to help decrease your chances of having a heart attack.
  7. You have a health issue and that the only chance for you to recover is to lose weight.
  8. Wanting simply to enjoy life which you can easily achieve by improving your health.

Great outcomes form having a deeper reason for losing weight

  1. Life-long change

I know that you will agree with me that most of us are motivated to lose weight just to look thinner and smaller at a party, gathering or any other occasions. And then what? Our motivation in losing weight and keeping them off is gone after the party was over. Deeper reasons are long-term and permanent. When you decide to lose weight with the HCG diet you do it for a life-long change.

  1. Not doing some “shortcuts” for faster weight loss

Deeper reasons will help you lose weight in a healthy mindful manner. Because when you are desperate to achieve your unrealistic weight loss goal you’ll end up only hurting your body physically. And it’s a very unreasonable thing to do. When you have a deeper reason you can make smart choices as you go through the protocol. You won’t try to do something to speed up your weight loss process at the sake of losing your muscle.

  1. Not giving up when the number on the scale is not going down

There are times when the number on the scale does not go down because of few reasons such as a stall. The tendency is you will compare yourself to others and you may start to worry. But by having a deeper reason you won’t easily give up. Your reasons will help you get through your difficult weight loss journey with the HCG diet.
