Clean Carbohydrate Options for P3 of the HCG Diet

What are clean carbs? They are also known as complex carbs made up of a complicated molecule that’s being broken down slowly in the body. Some examples of clean carbohydrates are starchy veggies, whole grains and beans. These carbs are rich in fibers and antioxidants that can keep you full for a longer period of time. That means to say you only need them in a small amount. Since they contain a high level of starch, they are not allowed during phase 3 of the HCG Diet.

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet allows you to increase your calorie intake each day that includes carbohydrates. However, it is very vital that you consume only non-starchy clean carbs instead of the starchy ones. Understanding the difference in carbs can help you during your P3 challenge.

Below are lists of clean carbs that you can choose for P3:

  1. Leafy greens

Spinach, chards, collard, romaine lettuce and kale are just some of the leafy greens that can give approximately 3.6 grams of clean carbs per 100 grams. They are also rich in B vitamins and magnesium which reduces stress and anxiety. Leafy greens are one of the best sources of carbs that can nourish your body. You can eat leafy greens alongside fish or chicken. You may as well blend it into a nutritious smoothie with some fruit for an afternoon deli.

  • Apples

Apples, when consumed in moderation, are an excellent source of fibers and clean carbs. You may eat apples for a snack or mix it with a leafy greens salad. You can also make a smoothie for a sweet snack.

  • Coconut flour

Coconut flour is an excellent form of dietary fiber and carbs. It contains approximately 64.8 grams of clean carbs per 100 grams. You can replace your normal flour to make bread and biscuits during the P3.

  • Berries

Berries are an excellent source of clean carbs. You can get about 14 grams of clean carbs for every 100 grams of berries. Berries are packed with an antioxidant that helps you combat harmful free-radicals. They are also great ingredients for a smoothie or you may eat them as a snack.

  • Broccoli

Broccoli is highly recommended for P3. It is a nutritional powerhouse that can give you about 7 grams of clean carbs for every 100 grams. It is rich in Vitamin B6 and calcium. You can eat broccoli as a side dish or blend it into a smoothie. You can even fry it with some eggs and coconut oil for breakfast.

Clean carbohydrates can leave you fuller for a longer period of time. They are also an excellent source of nutrition that you can eat in moderation during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet.

How about for snack options?

Mistakes during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Gaining weight during the maintenance phase? Here are some top mistakes during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet that you might want to look into:

#1 You are eating too many calories

  • Eating too many calories might cause your body to start gaining weight all of a sudden because of the overabundance of calories. Your body might think to start storing those extra calories for future use. We recommend that you aim for 1500 calories a day during the maintenance phase. OR better consider this guide:

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

#2 Having hidden starches or sugars

  • Be cautious with introducing foods into your body with hidden sugars like sugar-coated vitamins, eating something with cornstarch or eating meats with sugary broth. When buying foods, read the product labels and be mindful of sugar and starch content. Avoid food products with dextrose, fructose, maltose and anything that end with “ose”.

#3 Eating too many cautionary foods

  • Your first week can be excited because finally, you can have your freedom back in terms of eating. However, you are still restricted from eating too much during the first week of the HCG Diet. You also have to avoid eating sugars, carbs, starchy veggies and sweet fruits.
  • AT around the second or the third week, slowly add some of the restricted foods like sweet fruits and starchy vegetables.

#4 Not tracking your daily food intake

  • Keeping track of your food intake every day is as important as getting your daily weight. Tracking your foods can help you identify what food triggers you to gain weight.

#5 Insufficient intake of protein

  • Protein-rich foods are an essential part of Phase 3. Insufficient amount of proteins in your diet will make it hard for you to keep your weight off compared with dieters who keep proteins in their meal regularly.

#6 Not taking your weight every day

  • Keep track of your weight every day just as you keep track of your food intake. This will help you determine if you need to do the steak day because you go beyond the 2-pound rule or not.

#7 Adding too many foods at a time

  • Give your body some time to adjust to the new foods. Do not add too many foods at a time. If you are not sure what and how much foods to eat check this out The First Week of HCG Diet Phase 3.
