Steak Day, Why Should I try it?

An HCG Diet Steak Day can be daunting. When you do the steak day you cannot eat anything until your dinner. The whole day, you only drink lots of water. You can also drink coffee and tea. Without having any foods the entire day is not a fun thought because basically, you are fasting. When you wake up the next morning and find out that you went above the 2-pound range then you have no choice but start a steak day.

Steak day may seem daunting but steak day is very important to help you stabilize your weight. Stabilizing your weight is not that easy because your body is NOT used anymore with the over-abundance of calories it receives. So, the tendency is, your body might hold on to the excess calories and store it for future use. This causes your body to gain some extra pounds. If it does happen, it can make you worry. Sometimes, this worry can turn into stress eating. HCG Diet Phase 3 is meant to help you lose weight and not to stress you out. Doing the steak day during this phase is a great way to review what food choice and portion has caused you to gain extra pounds.

There are lots of ways to counteract weight gain during the HCG Diet and a steak day is the easiest. Not only will the steak day stabilize your weight but it will also help you reevaluate your food choices. What good with steak day? It is only for one day. The next day, you go back to regular meals.

When does weight gain usually happens?

Well, weight gain usually happens when you don’t watch over your calorie intake. If you do not count your calorie and you’re eating too many or too little, you could end up gaining an extra pound. Putting on extra pound can also happen when your body reacts badly to certain foods such as dairy products or some types of nuts.

How do you lose those extra pounds?

In order to lose those extra pounds, you need to double check the protocol instruction and see if you are really following the protocol. It doesn’t mean to say that you are able to reintroduce back sugar and carbs towards the end of phase you can eat them in excess. They can be tempting but you don’t want to undo everything you’ve worked hard during the very low calorie diet.

Time To Ignore The 2-Pounds Rules

When you didn’t eat carbs and fruit during P2

There are times during your Phase 2 of the HCG Diet you have totally removed the Fruits and carb choices just to beat your CRAVINGS and to make P2 much easier. Now, what will happen to your end weight? Practically, you will be losing much weight without fruits and carbs on your P2 and it’s gonna be an artificially low weight.

What had happened? Removing the fruits and carbs will make your diet super low. In the end, your body will tap into your stored glycogen for energy. Glycogen is not FAT- it’s basically stored water in your muscles. So, when you go to the next phase and stabilize, your body will hold onto the glycogen and refills the lost one as quickly as possible. Naturally, your body will regain several pounds, most of which are water and glycogen. Your weight will go higher than the 2-pounds range. My advice-try to stick with the HCG Diet P2 protocol.

When you have started some exercise on P3

Exercise on P3 won’t stabilize your weight right away. Here’s why… During exercise, your muscle retains weight. When you work out and sore, your body is breaking down the muscle tissue but will rebuild it into better and stronger one. For your muscle to rebuild its tissue, it needs water. As your muscles are building up the tissue, your body has to retain extra water.

The more trained your muscle is the more it stores glycogen. So, when you go back to working out on the P3, your muscle will store water more quickly which causes you to gain more weight than someone else in P3. Staying within the 2-pounds range is quite impossible to do. Just make sure you keep out sugars and starches out of the picture.

When you have done several steak days

Your weight isn’t stabilizing no matter how many steak days you’ve made. Still, you go up higher than the 2-pounds rule. Well, just give it a go and see if you can stabilize a little bit higher than 2-pounds range. If it seems impossible to stabilize despite all your efforts, considering leaving the rule behind can be a great idea rather than doing the steak day over and over again. A steak day is essentially fasting and is NOT healthy. If you find yourself doing the steak day every other week for weeks then definitely it’s not okay. Why not leave the rule behind and go up higher, perhaps, that is the way to go.

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.

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.
