Approved HCG Diet Seasoning and Spices

“Spice up your life” was coined for a reason. Spices improve the taste of foods and are totally rich in nutrients. So, spice up your life in HCG diet. But be careful because some spices can sabotage your results.

This is where many dieters fail to be consistent. Yes, it is important to eat the right foods. I am talking about the approved HCG foods. But you also need to ensure that you use the right ingredients in cooking. Because a little sprinkle of the wrong spices can cause a stall in your diet. There are many spices out there and many of them are HCG approved. But there are also many that are not safe. They contain hidden ingredients like oils, starches and sugar that stall your weight loss. Some real examples are:

  • Garlic powder with modified corn starch can cause plateaus for 3 days.
  • Taco seasoning can make you gain weight at least .4 pound each day you use them.

Here are approved HCG seasoning and spices:

  • Allspice
  • Basil
  • Bay leaf
  • Bragg’s liquid amino
  • Bragg’s organic raw apple cider vinegar
  • Caraway
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Cajun seasoning

  • Cilantro
  • Coriander leaf

Tips on how to choose the right spices

  2. Avoid pre-mixed spices. They usually contain oil, fruit peels, sugar and other that are not allowed on HCG diet.
  3. Always check the ingredients for any oil, starch, maltodextrin and fruit juices and not just the nutrition facts.
  4. Use only unsweetened spices. Any words ending in –tol, -ose or –dextrin are NOT allowed.

Making it Through the First Week P2 of HCG Diet

The first week of your very low calorie diet with HCG can be the most difficult days you might experience. It’s not going to be easy. There will be ups and downs, hunger, mental battles and sleep loss. Here are top ten tips to help you make it through your first week with P2 of HCG diet.

  1. Be prepared with the following:
  • Your meal plan for the first week
  • Protein choices for the first week (weigh each at 100 grams and keep them frozen)
  • Kitchen scale
  • Bathroom scale
  • Herbs and spices
  1. Go crazy over vegetables to help you deal with your hunger pains. You can have them in unlimited quantities because of their low calorie count. Just be careful that you will not exceed your daily calorie intake. Don’t eat the vegetables during snack. You should eat vegetables only at mealtime.
  2. Drink lots of water. Water will not only help stave your hunger off and make you feel fuller at each meal. It will also help you deal with your upset stomach and flush out toxins from your body.
  3. Avoid exercise at all cost. Exercise can affect your health negatively while on 500 calorie diet by throwing your metabolism off. The VLCD does not allow any forms of major physical activities.
  4. Be creative in coming up with different recipes. You are doing this hcg diet for yourself so you can adjust the recipe however you see fit. But see to it that you don’t deviate from the hcg protocol.
  5. Take supplements like Magnesium and vitamin B complex if you are having a problem with your sleep and cravings.
  6. Spread your meals during the day. You can actually split your carb choice and your fruits away from your lunch and dinner.
  • Breakfast: Coffee
  • Snack: Melba toast
  • Lunch: Protein choice, vegetable choice
  • Snack: fruits
  • Dinner: Protein choice, vegetable choice
  • Evening Snack: Apple and herbal tea.
  1. Have something visual to help you like sticky note each day.
  2. Go to bed early. This helps stop your cravings and snacking.
  3. Get some fresh air to help you feel refreshed and clear-headed.

  4. Mood changes as your body adjust to the very low-calorie intake. Sometimes it can be stressful so try to do things that will help you relax. Read your favorite book, take a walk or learn a new hobby. These can keep your mind busy and not fixated on the diet. There are other instances when you may experience a heightened sense of well-being and an increased level of energy.
  5. Weight loss result. You can see the result on day 3-4 depending on how you follow the hcg protocol. When you start losing .5-1 pound a day you should be consistent with that number and if you stall you’ll need to do a stall breaker.

Dealing with Hunger during VLCD

Regardless of what type of dieting method you do you will certainly experience some hunger.

Why?

When your body calorie intake is lesser than your calorie expenditure, your body will naturally proceed into survival mode. Then it produces a feeling of hunger which motivates you to eat. This response is spontaneous and there is no way around it.

The HCG diet is no different. However, the HCG hormone provides a faster result. Your hunger will subside when the hormone taps into the unwanted fats in your body. The unwanted fats are then converted into your main source of calorie. Usually your hunger pangs peaks around the 5th or 6th days of your HCG diet. Most can get through the first few weeks but if you find yourself struggling, you can try some of the tips below.

  • Eat more vegetables to control your appetite

One of the effective ways of dealing with hunger during P2 is by increasing your vegetable portion per meal. But make sure that you will not go over your required daily calorie intake. It should not go above 550 calories per day. See to it also that you are eating only the HCG approved vegetables.

You can also lower your protein serving. Instead of eating red meat, eat some fish so you can increase your vegetable portion.

  • Drink plenty of water

Water is proven to help lower your appetite. So, drink lots and lots of water to make your first few days of Phase 2 of HCG easier. Before you eat any of your meal start off with a glass of water, this can make your stomach feel fuller. Drink also water between your meals or when you eat your snacks.

  • Lower your appetite by eating a serving of grapefruit or orange

Citrus fruits are excellent to help you control your appetite. They are also rich in fiber which can help to fill you up without adding calories.

  • Eat slightly more protein

If your work requires you to move around a lot, a slight increase in your protein portion can help you combat your hunger.  But you have to be careful not to overdo this so you won’t go over the specified calorie limit.

  • Slow your eating pace

When you are trying to lose weight, as a general rule, take time with your meals. Slow down with your pace to make it more filling.

Is Mixing of Vegetables on Phase 2 of HCG diet a YES or a NO?

In Dr. Simeons original protocol, he restricted the mixing of vegetables while on the VLCD although he didn’t specifically explain why. But it is believed that this was to avoid eating too many calories unknowingly.

But does it HAS to be this way? Like eating a bowl full of chopped cucumbers with a dash of salt and vinegar until you start getting some gag reflex. OR, is there another way around? Like mixing a little of this and a little of that to make it taste pretty good…

The modern variations of the original protocol permit the mixing of vegetables in Phase 2 of HCG diet and many hcg dieters do experience optimum weight loss. Here’s what you need to know about mixing your vegetables:

  1. When you try mixing your vegetables, make sure that they are all HCG diet approved vegetables.
  2. Use a small amount of each vegetable.
  3. Oil and butter are not allowed so don’t try to use them in your vegetables.
  4. Grill, boil or steam your vegetable mix. Do not sauté them in oil.
  5. Lastly, though it takes an extra effort- weight your vegetable servings out to a certain amount of calorie if you decide to mix them. The mix vegetable portion ends up between 50-70 calories per meal. So, if your protein portion has higher calorie content for 100 grams like beef-your vegetable mix should be at a lower end. But if your protein portion is low like 100 grams of shrimp then your vegetable mix should be higher.

How to mix your vegetable portion during hcg diet phase 2?

Let say you will have red meat for lunch, 100 grams of red meat would give 130 calories. Plus 3 grams of Melba toast with 12 calories and a half cup of grapefruit for 40 calories. This will give you a total of 182 grams for lunch without the vegetable portion. For dinner, 100 grams of shrimp with 110 calories, plus 1 carb portion with 12 calories and another half cup of grapefruit for 40 calories giving you a total of 162 calories. Adding both will give you 346 calories. Minus this from the allotted 500 calories per day gives you a remaining 156 calories.

Now, you will leave half of 156 calories (78 calories) for lunch veggie mix and the other half for dinner. Then break the 78 calories between 3 vegetables of your choice.

As long as you keep your calorie intake not higher than 500 a day you will still get the same results. It’s a matter of personal choice. If you begin to stall in your weight loss, try not to mix them so you can get back on track. And if you find yourself eating too much, stick again with the one vegetable rule per meal.
