Adding Superfoods to Your HCG Diet: A Guide to Healthy Foods in Phase 3

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet allows you gradually add healthy foods back into your diet while still maintaining your weight loss. To make the most out from this phase, it’s essential to incorporate nutrient-rich foods that promote general health and support healthy weight loss. These foods are commonly referred to as superfoods because they typically contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that offer incredible health benefits.

Superfoods on Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Here are some of the best superfoods to add during phase 3 of the HCG diet::

  • Low-carb veggies

As you transition from restricting your calorie intake into the stabilization phase, you slowly incorporate carbohydrates back. However, the type of carb you choose matters because not all carbohydrates are created equal. To help stabilize your weight, choose clean carbohydrates. Clean carbs are unprocessed and are non-starchy. They contain natural fiber that helps reduce chronic inflammation. Examples of non-starchy, clean-carbs are vegetables like:

  • Asparagus
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Cabbage
  • Celery
  • Cucumber
  • Garlic
  • Green beans
  • Eggplants
  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Peppers
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Winter or summer squash

Protein-rich foods

Protein-rich foods are essential to help you maintain your muscle and to keep you feeling fuller longer. Super protein-rich foods include:

  • Eggs
  • Tofu
  • Almonds
  • Walnuts
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Pistachio nuts
  • Flax seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Pecan

Low-carb fruits

Just like veggies, some fruits are high in carbs and natural sugar. Low-carb fruits can help protect against chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Examples of low-carb fruits you can have during phase 3 include:

  • Apples
  • Berries (Blueberries, strawberries, cranberries)
  • Grapefruits
  • Pears
  • Peaches

Dairy products

Dairy products like plain Greek yogurt, Swiss cheese, almond milk (unsweetened), and coconut milk are incredibly healthy. They have more calcium, vitamin D, and have unique properties that may help control your appetite. A word of caution- introduce them gradually back into your diet. Do not use too much of them on the same day and watch out for your portion.

Fats and oil

You are not allowed to have them during the weight loss phase, but not during this phase. Healthy fats and oil include:

  • Avocado oil
  • Almond oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Flaxseed oil
  • Salmon
  • Black olives
  • Almond butter
  • Cocoa butter
  • Olive oil
  • Unsalted butter

How to add superfoods into the HCG diet

Adding superfoods can be a great way to maintain weight loss while promoting overall health. 

  1. Start by choosing clean carbohydrates, such as non-starchy vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, and kale. Protein-rich foods like eggs, nuts, and seeds can help maintain muscle and promote feelings of fullness.
  2. To make it easy to add superfoods to your diet, try incorporating them into snacks or desserts, substituting beans for meat in some dishes, and taking dietary supplements.
  3. Eat superfoods for your dessert or snacks. Instead of eating your usual dessert, just like the one before you started out doing the HCG diet, have low-carb fruits or healthy nuts for your snacks or dessert.
  4. Substitute beans for meat once in a while. Tofu, legumes, and amaranth are extremely rich in protein and you can use them for your main dish.
  5. Take dietary supplements. Superfoods are available in supplement forms, and they’re packed with various nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids.

HCG Diet: When and How to Stop Early

The HCG diet is most effective when you follow the protocols properly. You load for two days followed by at least 21 days of restricted calorie intake with the administration of HCG injection. You can also lengthen your time restricting your calorie intake just as long as it shouldn’t be shorter than 23 days. 23 days is the minimum required number of days on the protocol or else you may not be able to stabilize your weight.

However, there are times when you need to stop the HCG diet protocol earlier than expected due to:

  • Injuries
  • No HCG available or your kit hasn’t arrived on time
  • Pregnancy
  • Some other unexpected interruptions that could sabotage your weight loss result.

You may find that you have to cut your round short before you even have the chance to complete the 23 doses of HCG injections. In the event that you cannot complete the 23 doses, there are some steps that you can take to avoid regaining weight rapidly. However, there is no guarantee you’ll keep all the progress you’ve made.

How to stop the protocol early

Step 1: Let your doctor know. If you’ve consulted to one. Your doctor will instruct you on how to wean off the HCG injection.

Step 2: If you haven’t consulted with an HCG diet doctor, the most that you can do is to transition into the maintenance phase as if you have finished your round. OR continue eating a low-calorie diet just like when you are doing the HCG diet but without the HCG injection. Make sure you avoid eating anything with fats or oil for the first 72 hours as there can still be HCG running in your system.

Step 3: Avoid any form of starches and sugar for the next three weeks. Restricting your carbohydrate and sugar intake may help you avoid unwanted weight gain because weight gain is very common after you restrict your calorie intake. Focus on eating whole foods. You can incorporate good fats like olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut during these three weeks as this can help you feel fuller longer. After three weeks, you can slowly add healthy carbohydrates and whole grains like whole-wheat bread, pasta back into your diet.

Step 4: During the three weeks, gradually increase your portion sizes. It’s not necessary to count any grams of foods anymore, but for weight control, it’s important to remember portion sizes.

  • Grains: ½ cup (80 grams of cooked pasta, rice)
  • Vegetables: 1 cup (1 cup of vegetables is equivalent to 2 cups of leafy greens and 1 cup of raw vegetables)
  • Fruits: 1 cup, one-quarter cup of dried fruits or nut (35 grams)
  • Protein: 3 ounces of lean meat, seafood, or poultry, 1 egg or 2 egg whites, ½ ounce of unsalted nuts, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
  • Dairy products: 1 cup (equivalent to 1 cup of milk or yogurt, 2 ounces of processed cheese, or 1 ½ ounce of natural cheese like cheddar

Step 5: Exercise. Take a 10-minute walk each day and work your way up to 30 minutes per day. You may want to include strength training two to three times per week to increase lean muscle mass and to burn more calories.

Maximizing Weight Loss on the HCG Diet

The HCG diet is truly an amazing wonder diet, and it deserved to be dubbed as such. The reason is very simple-it’s possible to lose weight without having to starve or exercise vigorously for days. With the HCG diet, you can lose an average of 1 to 2 pounds per day.

Weight loss is not consistent

Weight loss on the HCG diet is not consistent. Some days you will lose more and some days you will lose less. Sometimes, you may not lose at all, and sometimes you may even gain. The weight you’ll lose will range anywhere from 15 to 60 pounds in 30 days.

The amount of weight you will lose depends not only on how properly you follow the plan, but it’s important to understand how many calories each day your body uses to function normally. In other words, if your body requires more calories to function normally, then it will use more of your excess fat. On average, men can burn 2500 to 4500 calories in a day, while women burn 1500 to 2000 calories in a day. About 500 calories will come from the foods you eat and the rest will come from the stored adipose tissue.

It is also best to fully understand how this plan works so that you can get the best results possible. This diet comprises a combination of a low-calorie diet and the administration of HCG hormone. The diet is divided into three phases. Phase 2 is the longest and also brings about the maximum weight loss. This is the phase where you will restrict your calorie intake accompanied by the daily administration of HCG injection.

Tips to maximize your weight loss result

In most cases, the plan provides an amazing overall result, but you can always do your part to maximize your weight loss result. Below are 5 tips to maximize your weight loss result while on the HCG diet.

  1. Stick to the HCG diet meal but never combine two foods from the same category in the same meal. This means you shouldn’t eat your orange and apples at lunch and your celery and cabbage at dinner. Do not eat tomatoes and asparagus more than every 3 to 4 days and never eat them on the same day.
  2. Never skip your protein or vegetable options, but you can leave out the carbs. Remember that protein is the single most important nutrient for weight loss no matter what diet plans you follow. Protein increases metabolism, reduces appetite and helps your body burn fat. Vegetables are weight loss friendly. They are full of nutrients that may help improve metabolism and subsequently burn fat.
  3. Make exercise a habit. Exercise keeps you fit and helps you shed weight faster. Besides maximizing weight loss, it also keeps you healthy. Walking for at least 30 minutes a day is ideal to get the best benefits.
  4. Drink 1 to 2 cups of green tea every day. Green tea helps boost metabolism and promotes weight loss in addition to having your daily shot of HCG.
  5. Take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar twice a day. Apple cider vinegar may help you lose weight by reducing insulin levels, promoting satiety, and lowering blood sugar levels.

6 Sustainable and Effective Weight Loss Programs

Weight loss is the reduction of your total body mass by means of losing body fat, water, and lean mass. Safe and healthy weight loss takes time and effort. With a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, physical activity, and the right weight loss plan, you can lose and maintain your weight long-term.

6 Sustainable and effective weight loss plans

Trying to find the best method to lose weight can be overwhelming. With all the diet plans out there- keto, dash, Weight Watchers, paleo, and a lot more- can make your head spin. Each of these plans has ardent adherents, who post all over Instagram how awesome it feels to cut out on sugars and carbs. Now it can be hard to decide which one to try first, so ask yourself these questions: Is this diet healthy? Will it be sustainable? Below are the 6 best diet plans to help you shed pounds and get healthy.

  1. Paleo Diet

This diet requires very strict adherence to foods that have been hunted and gathered like lean meat, seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. You are not allowed to have any processed foods, dairy, beans, grains, and legumes.

  1. Keto Diet

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that allows you to lose weight while providing numerous health benefits. In the keto diet, your body undergoes a state of ketosis. With no carbohydrates, your body burns the stored energy from fats rather than from carbs. However, this diet is not viable for a long-term weight loss plan.

  1. WW

In WW or Weight Watchers, foods are given points based on the calories, sugar, protein, and saturated fat they contain. Basically, you can eat whatever you want as long as you stay within the range. You can even eat unlimited 0-point foods like fruits and veggies.

  1. DASH Diet

Dietary approaches to stop hypertension, or DASH, involves eating a diet that is designed to reduce blood pressure. Here, you focus on eating fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and whole grains. In the DASH diet, you typically consume about 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, 2 servings of low-fat dairy products, 7 servings of whole grains, and 2 servings of lean meat per day.

  1. Intermittent Fasting

In intermittent fasting, the diet involves a cycle of eating and fasting. It restricts your time allowed on eating, which can cause weight loss. Evidence also shows that intermittent fasting can increase your metabolism, improve brain health, increase insulin sensitivity, and many other benefits.

  1. HCG Diet

The HCG Diet is much like the low-calorie diet. In the HCG diet, you make use of HCG injection to help you lose weight faster along with a restricted calorie intake for a certain number of days. HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin is a pregnancy hormone produced in the placenta of women during pregnancy.

In this diet, the amount used is very little, about 125 iu to 200 iu max. The hormone will help you shed pounds by stimulating your brain to use the stored fat as the primary source of energy. You will feel little to no hunger at all despite the calorie-restricted because your body uses the fat reserve.

Factors that influence weight loss

Many factors affect how your body burns calories. These include your diet choices, underlying health conditions, and the weight loss plan you’ve chosen. Other factors include your age, sex, body fat percentage, how much you exercise, and your metabolic rate. These factors vary greatly and generally entail the amount of energy your body requires each day and the number of calories you burn daily. 

Metabolism and weight loss

The key to weight loss success is to understand how your metabolism really works. Metabolism is the chemical process that takes place in your body. If you find struggle with the numbers on the scale despite your weight loss effort, you’ve probably blamed it on your metabolism. When someone says, “I have a slow metabolism’ or ‘I have a fast metabolism”, they are referring to their ability to shed pounds or to maintain a healthy weight.

To lose weight faster, you need to reeve up your metabolism. To do this, you must increase your muscle mass. More muscle mass means more calories burned even at rest. When you try to lose weight, a lot of time you wind up with a lot less muscle than when you started out. Why? As a prerequisite to weight loss, you consume fewer calories than you burn. In doing so, your body cannot synthesize new muscle protein as efficiently as it should. As a result, your muscle is less likely to use any amino acids from protein to strengthen your muscle. So, how can you build muscle and lose fat at the same time?

Tips to build muscle while still losing weight

  1. Choose the right diet plans. One of the best ways to lose weight is to change your diet. Several diet plans can help you lose a significant amount of weight within a year. Because of their sheer number, it can be quite challenging to determine which one will work for you, and which diet plan will be the most suitable, effective, and sustainable. Some diet plan limits your calorie intake for a certain number of days while others reduce your appetite, so you can reduce your food intake. Furthermore, many of them have health benefits that go beyond weight loss.
  2. Eat more protein. Protein is the building block of your muscle. So, consuming enough proteins helps maintain your muscle mass and stimulates muscle growth when you exercise.
  3. Do short, intense cardio workouts. Focus on high-intensity exercises such as repeated sprints on the treadmill, or the elliptical. These high-intensity workouts burn fat while building muscle.
  4. Incorporate weight training and cardio into your routine. Weight training encourages muscle growth but does it at least three times a week only with rest days in between.
  5. Give your muscles some break. Rest is equally important as exercise and eating healthily. Your body needs time off to recover and repair itself from weight training.

The HCG Vegetarian Diet: How to Eat?

There are so many diet programs and meal plan you can consider when trying to lose weight. One particular diet program you can consider is the HCG diet. This could be the right fit for you as it focuses on eating fewer calories and a low amount of fat. The best part of it-it’s divided into three different phases. Each with dos and don’ts that will help you stay motivated as you try to achieve your weight loss goal.

The HCG diet allows you to lose at least a pound each day with the help of the HCG injection and low-calorie intake from chosen proteins from meat, poultry, and seafood. But if you’re a vegetarian, you might wonder whether you can follow the HCG protocol. Definitely YES!

Eating a vegetarian way on the HCG protocol

Here’s how to eat a vegetarian way and get back on track with your healthy life.

  • Prepare yourself

As a vegetarian, you will have to put in even more effort than those who do the plan the conventional way. You will be making changes to your meal plan, particularly proteins, and you’ll have to do it every single day. My advice- before your diet, make a list of alternative protein sources and get them all ready. Be familiar with the diet ahead of time. Ask yourself what will your daily routine be like? How will you replace your protein and still get the correct calories? Just a heads up, substituting plant-based protein for meat protein will probably increase about 100 calories, so it’s okay!

  • Make sure you get adequate protein

As a vegetarian, you shouldn’t worry about finding enough protein because there are so many plant-based options that you can use to substitute proteins from meat. The problem is how you are going to get the right amount of protein from substituting animal-based to plant-based.

  • Identify your plant-based substitute

Know your plant-based substitute. Again, there are several protein-rich plants you can use to substitute the meat options while on the HCG diet. Tofu, cottage cheese, garden veggie burgers, yogurt, and protein powders are some examples of protein substitute you can use. If you eat eggs, it’s also a great option for your protein intake. They’re great for salads or on-the-go protein snacks. Skim milk is also a great substitute for your protein.

  • Use vegan protein powder

You can easily bump up your protein intake with protein powder. Vegan protein powder is made from blends of nutrient-rich foods and greens from peas, sprouted lentils, navy beans, garbanzo seed, flaxseed, chia seeds, almonds-all are HCG diet-friendly. They’re free from dairy, soy, and gluten. They’re also organic. Each serving contains 20 to 30 grams of protein.

  • Other vegetarian/ vegan protein options

Considering using other meatless versions of proteins. They’re soy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and are an excellent source of protein. Options like Quorm Meatless Roast, plant-based beef crumbles, meatless chicken, turkey, bacon, and Italian sausage. You can choose a different entrée for each meal during the very low-calorie phase.
