Reduce Cravings During Phase 2 of HCG Diet

HCG Phase 2 is where your weight loss takes place. This is the hardest yet the most challenging and most exciting phase of the HCG Diet plan.  This phase really works but you have to put an extra effort too into making it work.

During Phase 2, you are on a very low-calorie diet usually 500-700 calories per day. You might find yourself very hungry at first. You might also crave for foods that are not listed among the allowable foods on your diet. However, there are ways that can help you stay on track. All it takes is your willpower and some tips from us.

Number 1- Eat foods that are lower in calories

You should never go over your 500 calories hcg diet when you eat low-calorie foods. Veggies are best examples- lettuce are mostly water. You can virtually eat as much lettuce as you want. Toss it with a bit of onion, asparagus and some vinegar instead of salad dressings. Salads can keep you full for a long time and will help you stay on track.

Number 2- Drink extra water

Water can make your belly feel full even when there isn’t anything in there. Drinking more water with every meal can make you get full faster. But don’t overdo it. Check this article for some tips to help you drink the right amount of water on HCG diet.

Number 3- Drink lots of tea

Tea is an appetite suppressant. It is allowed in HCG Diet. Just make it sure you drink a plain tea with NO sugar and honey.

Number 4- Spread out your calorie intake

Eating all of your 500 calories in the first few hours of the day will make you hungrier later. So spread out your calorie intake. It’s better for you to eat a smaller amount throughout the day so that your stomach isn’t as empty for so long.

Eat something small every few hours. When you get up, eat an apple. When you start feeling hungry eat an actual breakfast from the list of approved HCG diet foods. Then a couple of hours later eat a light snack followed by light lunch. When you follow this pattern, you can break the 500 calories into five tiny meals.

Number 5- Eat something when you’re truly hungry

If you feel like you are starving, eat something from the approved list. Just make sure what you are eating is low calorie. Apple, lettuce salad or even a cucumber works well. It’s better to go slightly above 500 calorie limit as long as it is an approved HCG food rather than to cheat.

6 Things To Do After Cheating on the HCG Diet Phase 2

Cheating on HCG diet isn’t the end of everything. If you mess up and eat something you shouldn’t, don’t give up. It’s not too late to get back on the protocol. Stop cheating as soon as you catch it. Don’t let it spiral out of control.

Your next move after cheating is very critical to ensure that you will not stall.

Here are 6 things that you should do after you cheat during your phase 2.

  1. Drink plenty of water

What you have gained during your cheat day was actually water weight and not fats. Drink plenty of water to flush out those excess salts from your body. Stay hydrated so you don’t retain any more water.

  1. Exercise slightly more than usual

Do some light exercise for 2-3 days to help you offset your calorie gained from cheating. Instead of doing the usual 15-30 minute walk, you can increase it to 40-60 minutes. After few days you can resume your regular routine.

  1. Stay positive

Cheating during phase 2 will not make you a total failure.  Stay positive and don’t take it as a sign that you can’t do it.

  1. Don’t panic

Cheating is not the end as long as you will get back. So don’t panic. This is how the HCG hormone works.  Its ability to metabolize fats is amazing. However, the hormone won’t do its work if you cheat multiple times during your hcg diet. Remember, the only way to lose a maximum amount of weight is never to cheat.

  1. Check your weight gain and look for plateaus

Check your weight for any gain. Some of your weight gains are mostly due to a higher salt intake. Track these changes and log in your hcg diet journal. Again, if your weight has STALLED, try an Apple day or Steak day.

  1. Don’t over-correct

Trying everything all at once to get the cheat weight off is not the best strategy. Post-cheat blunder includes:

  • Doubling up on your dose

You will just run out of injections if you will double your hcg dosage. Yet the effect will still be the same.

  • Skipping meals

Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and you won’t likely to lose weight the next day.

  • Doing an Apple day right away

Actually, Apple days aren’t for cheats. They are for stalls. DO NOT do an Apple day unless your weight has stalled for 4 days. Most, important do not double up on stall breaking remedies like doing an Apple day and Steak day at the same time. Doing two stall breakers can send your body off into a shock. Your body just needs to get back into your usual hcg diet routine after cheating. Eventually, your weight gain will come off. And if it doesn’t and your weight has stayed the same for 4 days that’s the time you will do a stall breaker.

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.

Phase 2 Additional Instructions

Like in any diet, there’s a right and wrong way to lose weight and a lot of restrictions too. But if you familiarize yourself and adhere to the Phase 2 hcg diet protocol, it can make your hcg diet a lot easier. And if you will not follow some simple guidelines, you could end up wasting your time, effort and your money. Below are list of additional Phase 2 instructions from Dr. Simeons original protocol for you to keep in mind.

DO’S

  1. Weight your 100 grams of protein choices raw after cutting all visible fats off. Use a good quality scale to accurately measure every gram and ounce.
  2. Skip your HCG injections during menstruation but continue with your hcg diet. Sometimes, HCG hormone can cause some issues with menstrual flow. It can either cause it to last longer than normal or entirely prevent the flow.
  3. Drink 2 liters of water a day. Other liquids allowed are tea and coffee. They may be taken in any quantity at all times according to the original protocol.
  4. Remember the list of approved HCG foods. If it’s not listed, you can’t have it.
  5. Note that you are allowed to have chicken breast- not chicken thigh, chicken wings and chicken drumstick.

DON’TS

  1. Don’t use makeup or any skincare products that are oil base. This includes moisturizing lipstick, lotion, foundation and eyeshadow.
  2. Avoid contact with oil on your skin. According to Dr. Simeons, fats and oil on the skin can cause problems during the hcg diet.
  3. You are not allowed to combine multiple servings into one meal.
  4. Do not subsist on your 500 calorie diet without having your HCG injections for many days. This can make you uncomfortable, unhealthy and unsuccessful in the long run.
  5. Do not replace two small fruits like apple for one large apple.
  6. Don’t forget to record your weight in your hcg diet journal.
  7. Do not mix vegetables at your meal or you’ll end up eating more calories because it’s a lot tastier.

Some helpful tips to consider during VLCD

  • Fruit or carb choices can be eaten in between meals. But do not eat more than four items listed for dinner and lunch at one meal.
  • Oils, dressings and butter are not permitted.
  • Boiled, poached or raw eggs are occasionally allowed to those who developed meat aversion. But use 1 whole egg with 3 white eggs as your protein replacement.
  • 100 grams of cottage cheese made from skimmed milk may be used occasionally instead of meat choices.
  • Birth control pills and Aspirin are allowed.
  • Use sugar-free items like Stevia and Splenda sparingly.
  • When your weight loss stalls, have an “Apple Day”. Click here for more information.
