7 Diet Secrets for Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Stabilizing during phase 3 of the HCG Diet is one of the biggest challenges every dieter experience. But some few diets strategy can make all the difference from stabilizing to being successful on the weight loss journey.

Below are top 7 diet secrets for Phase 3 of the HCG Diet.

1. Eat normal calories again

During the stabilization phase, you do not have to continue dieting again as many dieters do. Do not assume that you will gain weight right away when you start reintroducing more calories back into your diet. One secret in transitioning into the next phase successfully is not to continue restricting your calorie intake. Increase your calories to a normal amount:

For women: 1700 to 2000 calories a day

For men: 27000 to 3000 calories a day

Your body needs to create a new set point of eating a variety of healthy oils and proteins, a moderate amount of fruits and non-starchy vegetables.

2. Use the Glycemic index

To help you choose the appropriate foods for this phase use the Glycemic index. Foods that are less than 30 in the Glycemic index scale and foods that are rich in protein and fibers can balance your blood sugar. Foods that are low in Glycemic index scale can help you maintain your weight loss during phase 3.

3. Read food labels before buying and consuming them

By reading the food labels you can avoid sugars and starches during P3 of the HCG Diet. This will also prevent you from going above the two-pound range. Stay away from foods with dextrose, maltose, glucose, fructose and anything with “ose”. When you read the food label, you can also prevent unhealthy additives such as artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucrose and monosodium glutamate or MSG.

4. Weigh yourself every day

Even though you have passed the very low calorie phase of the HCG Diet you still have to continue weighing yourself. Do this religiously. The first two weeks of this phase can pretty give you a swing on your diet. It is very vital therefore to document your weight and make it sure that you stay within the 2-pound range.

5. Eat clean

Eat clean and healthy during phase 3 of the HCG Diet. Choose foods that will give you more energy and foods that will nourish your body. Do away with your unhealthy eating lifestyle and make a big change by eating clean and healthily. Go for more proteins, vegetables and approved phase 3 fruits.

6. Take extra time between rounds

You can do multiple rounds to achieve your goal weight but you have to take some time before proceeding to the next round. Longer breaks between each round will help prevent your body from developing immunity. Longer breaks will also help your body to recharge, rest and to practice healthier eating habits. Breaks between each round:

Round 1 to Round 2: 6 weeks

Round 2 to Round 3: 8 weeks

Round 3 to Round 4: 10 weeks

Round 4 to Round 5: 12 weeks

For every succeeding round, two weeks is added. Skipping the long break and starting right away with your next round can only make you develop immunity and gain weight.

7. Eat varieties of foods

During phase 3 of the HCG Diet, you can have varieties of foods. Start eating more protein, vegetables and fruit choices but avoid starch and sugars. Your body needs additional nutrition after restricting yourself with only limited choices of foods.

Difficulties during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is the very time for you to start introducing back varieties of foods into your diet. However, you don’t want to do everything so fast. You must take things slow; a step at a time or else you might encounter some difficulties causing you to gain weight as you go through your next phase. Here are some top difficulties dieters might encounter as they go through the maintenance phase.

Feeling Full

You might struggle to consume the 700 calories during your first few days with phase 3 of the HCG Diet because your body is used with only consuming 500 calories a day. Eating the whole 700 calories will make you feel bloated and stuffed. But then remember this is perfectly normal. What you can do is to consume the required amount of calories so you can continue to successfully follow the HCG Diet protocol.

Over Consuming and Overwhelming

Some dieters find Phase 3 of the HCG Diet very overwhelming that they wanted to consume as many varieties of foods as they can and they want to do it quickly. However, this practice won’t do any good to your body. They are practically gorging! Gorging during this phase will only cause your weight to increase rapidly. Everything that you have worked hard during the previous phases will practically be forfeited. My advice- abstains from such a lifestyle alteration. Don’t let yourself get off and on the HCG Diet train just because you screw up. When you screw up once don’t do it again. What to do if you’ll gain weight? You can consider doing the steak day.

Carb Additions

When doing this phase, be extremely cautious with your carbs choices like bread, potatoes, pastries and rice. One slip with your carb can cause a dramatic change in your weight. Carbs are addictive. Once you start introducing them back into your body, you will crave for even more.

What to do to pass through Phase 3 of the HCG Diet without difficulty?

Do not eat any starches and sugars during Phase 3.
Pay attention to calories
Introduce all foods gradually
Cut-out whatever food is causing you to gain weight.
Introduce only a tiny bit of fats, dairy and nuts.
Keep your weight always within the two-pound range after your last day weight.

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is the final leg of your diet journey. Just stay focus and you will take control of your weight.

Foods to Avoid During Phase 3 of the HCG Diet and Some Tips

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is the most critical and difficult part of the diet. As you finished with the 500 calorie diet a day you begin to add food back into your diet. However, this is where most dieters slip up. This is where dieters revert back their old unhealthy eating habits. So, if you have successfully made it with the Phase 2 without any cheating, you also need to be very vigilant about how much you eat and what you eat during this phase just like during the very low calorie phase.

Below are some tips and foods to avoid during Phase 3 of the HCG Diet.

DO stick with the Phase 2 foods if you are not sure what to eat during Phase 3. Slowly increase your portion size and your daily calorie intake.

DO NOT add a large amount of foods back into your diet right away.

DO take account of what you eat every day and DO document your daily weight. This will help you determine what foods to eliminate that cause you to gain weight.
DO make a list of all the foods that you know won’t make you gain weight. You already have a great starting point because of the list of P2 foods that you can build from. We have a great list of HCG Diet approved Phase 3 foods here. But remember, every person’s metabolism differs. There are a lot of natural foods out there that you may be able to eat without even gaining any weight.
Protein is the key for Phase 3 of the HCG Diet. DO eat as many high-proteins as you can. DO NOT consume foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrates. Do stay away too from processed foods. It will help you in your long-term weight loss and overall health.
DO make sure that you get enough fibers on your diet. As much as possible, consume at least 30 grams of fiber-rich foods every day.
DO NOT consume foods labeled as “low-fat” or “fat-free”. They are likely to have more carbs and sugar in them.
DO NOT freak out if you make mistakes. If you have gained more than 2 pounds you have the steak day to help you get back on track.
DO start to add some exercise to your daily routine. However, DO NOT make rigorous exercise. Start with light walking then slowly start to increase.
To help you maintain your weight loss easier, DO drink hot lemonade in the morning.
Good snacks in the morning are grilled chicken strips, hard-boiled egg and protein shakes and bars.

The BEFORE and DURING Tips for Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is not all about losing weight. It is NOT a weight loss phase. Some dieters are still trying to lose weight during this phase and this is a very common mistake. They start exercising too much or they will keep eating the 500 calories per day. To their disappointment, they only feel tired and fatigued. According to Dr. Simeons, trying to lose weight in this phase could be dangerous. You are actually burning your structural fats and not the abnormal fats. Your weight might go down to a pound on some days but this is because your weight is still unstable during this time. The main goal why you are doing phase 3 is to stabilize your weight. Here are some few tips on how to do the Phase 3 of the HCG Diet:

BEFORE starting Phase 3:

Prepare yourself fully for this phase. Read all the information that you need about phase 3.
Make a list of ALL the P3 foods and all the foods that you need to avoid while doing phase 3.
Keep track of your weight every day especially your last day weight.

DURING Phase 3:

Stick to the full 21 days. According to Dr. Simeons, it’s not only your body that is needed to be stabilized for 21 days. Your brain’s hypothalamus also needs time to reset. If you will not complete the 21 days protocol, you may find it hard to keep your weight off for good.
With NO exception, weight yourself every day. Keeping track of your weight is as important as the type of foods you choose. The goal of weighing every day is to make corrections if ever there is a fluctuation on your weight.
Keep your weight within the 2 pounds range. If you happen to keep it within the range, no changes are necessary. However, if your weight goes beyond the 2-pound range, you must right away do the “steak day”.
Track everything that you eat. Look out for foods that can make you gain weight.
Keep track of your calories. This will help you learn what foods you can eat and how much foods you can eat to maintain your weight in the long run.
Add one food at a time.
When eating out, ask good questions. Ask about the ingredients that they have used like glazing their steak with butter and sugar.
