HCG Diet: Eating on the Go – Eating Out

Eating out while on P2 of the HCG diet can be a frightful experience. I would love to tell you NOT to go out and just cook your meals. But it doesn’t always work like that especially when we have a busy day. It is difficult to avoid eating out due to “Life”. But try to avoid eating out for the first couple of weeks of your HCG diet.

Here are some ways on how you can stay close to the program and still be able to eat out and on the go.

HCG diet eating on the go

If you have to eat on the go, grab a grilled chicken salad with some lemon wedges. You can easily separate the croutons because it comes separately. Hold the cheese and add onions and tomatoes. Use the lemon instead of dressing.

HCG diet eating out

Most restaurants offer large portion that you can make two meals out of it. Probably after few weeks, you can judge the proper meal size without actually using the kitchen scale.

Option 1:

Go for a green salad with grilled chicken and lemon wedges. You can use the lemon as your dressing.

Option2:

Order the “vegetable of the day” for your dinner with grilled chicken, steak or fish. But again, be careful with the portion size with both options.

Option 3:

The smaller portion of the kid’s menu can also be your ticket for an appropriate HCG meal. Choose a menu with vegetables and lean meat.

Remember: When you go off your hcg diet plan and eat more carbs and fats you will notice a difference in your results. You will lose weight but your progress can be slow. So stay close to the protocol.

 Additional Do’s and Don’ts

DO’s

  • Do ask questions like if the meat is penetrated with any oil or marinade. In this way, it will keep you from having surprises at the scale the next morning.
  • Do bring Stevia sweetener packets and your own salad dressing with you.

DON’TS

  • Do ask questions like if the meat marinade has oil. In this way, it will keep you from having surprises at the scale the next morning.
  • Do not go to a place where you’ll be tempted to eat chips or bread on the table.

HCG Diet Eating Out Tips

Before you embark on the HCG diet it is extremely important to check your calendar for big events like parties and wedding so you can start with your weight loss journey before or after the events. But you don’t have to give up totally your social life just because you want to lose weight. You choose to be healthy so make healthy choices too.

Here are 10 tips for eating out on the HCG diet.

  1. Plan ahead for what you want to order. You can Google for the restaurant’s menu option before you dine out.
  2. When you spy nothing that fits into your protocol ask them to make you something. Use your voice.
  3. Choose water, tea or sparkling water. Nothing can clean and hydrates your body like water does.
  4. Stay away from dips or any carbs to nibble. They are all full of calories so it’s a BIG NO.
  5. Potion your food. When you order your meal ask for a separate plate and a to-go box. Anything that you order that is not within your portion size, pack it away for your next meal.
  6. Avoid sugary desserts. Go for something refreshing like healthy smoothies.
  7. See to it that there is something green on your plate. Opt for Arugula, spinach, etc. rather than iceberg. Make sure that you eat the green ones first because they offer many nutrients needed by your body.
  8. Avoid foods loaded with heavy cream and cheese like pasta.
  9. Eat slowly. Savor every mouthful. Remember that your chosen meal will energize and nourish your body and will help keep you on the track.
  10. Have tea as you after dinner “treat” instead of breaking into a piece of chocolate cake.

You may want to come back after your round is over. Have whatever you like. But after your round is over, you can see the difference…

  1. Once you’ve been eating healthy foods for several weeks you won’t want what you were once craving for.
  2. If you want something that is not allowed in Phase 2 of the HCG Diet but is allowed on Phase 3 and 4, go ahead and enjoy. Just be mindful of the portion sizes.

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.
