HCG Diet Veggies

Phase 2 of the HCG diet requires you to make a drastic change in your hcg diet. It limits you to only 500 calories per day. You can eat proteins in high amount and carbs in a lesser amount per serving. Aside from this, you can have your share of certain types of fruits and vegetables. And you have to measure your servings carefully.

  • What veggies can you eat in Phase 2?

Vegetable choices include leafy greens such as spinach, lettuce, beet greens and many others. Other veggies that you can stick with your hcg diet are tomatoes, celery, onion and many more. Check this article for the complete approved HCG food list and their serving sizes.

  • Preparing your veggie choices

Knowing how to prepare your veggies during P2 is very important. Preparation method includes grilling, gentle boiling and steaming. You can also eat the veggies raw for salads. But you have to be strict with the serving size. And be cautious not to mix the veggies at each meal.

  • Seasoning your veggies

HCG protocol recommends specific ways on how you can season your veggies during phase 2. You are not allowed to add extra fat to your food when cooking. When you have to sauté your onions to pile on your steak, use nonstick cooking surface.

Instead of using dressings and sauces, sprinkle your veggies with fresh lemon juice. Give it a dash of salt, garlic powder and pepper to get a bit more flavors. You can use other herbs and spices to season your veggies as long as it is an HCG approved herb and spices.

  • When to eat your veggies

Have one serving of low-calorie veggies of your choice per meal, one serving at lunch and one serving at dinner. Other components of your meal include 100 grams serving of meat, 3 grams of Melba toast or grissini stick and a cup of fruit. You can split your meals apart. For example, save some of the veggies from your lunch for an afternoon snack. The two servings of veggies per day won’t provide your body with all the minerals and vitamins you need. But they’ll add up some fibers and nutrients to your restricted hcg diet.

Exercise and the 500 Calorie Diet-Part 2

If you’re new to the program, doing exercise together with HCG diet can be a bit too much. Rather than doing it during your first week on HCG injection wait for about 1-2 weeks. Or until such time that your body is fully adapted to your new calorie intake as well as to your new food restrictions.

  • Acceptable Exercise

Ideal exercise on the HCG diet is something that is less intense like yoga, gentle swimming and walking.  These light exercises will help keep your muscle tone and fit without risking your weight loss.

Yoga, for example, is an excellent HCG diet exercise. It can burn the same percentage of fats as jogging. However, some yoga sessions are intense in form. So stick with the easy and short one and do the exercise for 20-30 minutes every day.

  • Exercise to avoid

If you’re a beginner and want to do some exercise, stick only with light exercises. Refrain from anything that is rigorous. Now may not be the best time to start with a high-intensity cardio considering your increase protein intake.

Intense cardio exercises can increase your heart rate. As a result, your body starts to store calories as fats. Strength training like weight lifting is also not advised on the HCG diet. It builds lean muscle mass that weighs more than fats. This could mislead you as to your weight loss on the scale. Exercising hard with only 500 calorie intake will cause your body to hold on to fats rather than using them up.

  • Major concerns about over-doing exercise on the HCG diet
  1. Hunger

Working out burns calories and you obviously know that for sure. When you burn calories you become hungry. And when you burn too many calories you get too hungry forcing you to eat something that is not listed on the approved HCG food list.  The tendency is you will cheat- and CHEATING while on the protocol can cause a stall on your weight loss.

  1. Fatigue

Being on a very low calorie diet can make you feel weak and tired easily. If you begin to feel tired when doing some exercises, your workout therefore, can be too high in intensity.

Exercise and the 500 Calorie Diet-Part 1

Exercise on HCG diet can be beneficial if and only your body allows it. Some hcg dieters even do quite well with both the hcg diet and exercise. However, exercise should remain light and easy because of the very little calorie intake. If you attempt to exercise for a longer period of time without enough calories you will become exhausted. You may feel dizzy and become very hungry. According to Dr. Simeons, a hcg dieter who insists to do an intense exercise while on the very low calorie diet typically become hungry and tends to overeat.

What to consider when you want to exercise on HCG diet?

  1. How do you feel after doing some exercise? Do you feel tired? If your answer is NO then that’s a good thing. Doing the exercise plus the HCG hormone works for you.
  2. Do you feel tired and crappy after doing some exercise? OR do you crave for food? Well, this isn’t good and you should stop right away.

What to expect when you combined 500 calorie diet and exercise

  1. Eat a little more. When you do the exercise you may want to increase your calorie intake a bit. Eat slightly more proteins like whey protein powder and egg white in the morning or before or after doing the exercise.
  2. Slower weight loss. You may also experience slower weight loss due to water retention from exercising.
  3. You need to decrease the intensity of your workout. Instead of doing a 35-minute exercise decrease it to at least 10-15 minutes.
  4. See to it that you will replace your lost electrolytes. Rather than drinking too much water, add up some squeeze of fresh lemon or orange. You may also use some dash of salt.
  • The benefits of exercise on the HCG diet

Exercise plus HCG diet can actually be better than the hcg diet alone because it can help preserve more lean muscles. But be cautious. Too much exercise can cause excessive muscle loss since you don’t have enough calorie intake in rebuilding your torn muscles. You may also want to add up your protein intake. Instead of two servings a day, make it 3 servings of 100 grams each. Or if you want, you can have a low carb, sugar-free protein shake.

Troubleshooting Hunger on HCG Diet

Though you are only eating 500 calories during P2 of HCG diet, there’s no reason for you to feel hungry at all. Not unless there is something wrong along the way. You are not supposed to feel hungry on the HCG when it is done properly. There are few possible causes why you are hungry.

Hunger during VLCD varies from person to person. If you experience a slight hunger before mealtime, this is natural. But if your hunger is significant-then you need to consider your dose. There should be no hunger with the right dose of HCG.

Check the following before adjusting your dose:

  1. 1. Are you eating enough? It is essential to give your body the nutrients it needs to function well during your VLCD.
  2. Are you drinking enough water? Be sure you’re not dehydrated. Dehydration will not only slow your weight loss. It can also make you feel hungry.
  3. Double check your menu plans if you’ve eaten something with sugar or carbs. Sugar and carbs are trigger foods that can send hunger signals to your brain. I would suggest that you need to cut-out the grissini stick or the Melba toast. And if you are eating 2 apples a day, eat only one. Your second fruit must be lower in sugar like strawberries or grapefruits.
  4. Are you constantly hungry on HCG diet? Your HCG may have lost its potency or it’s not potent from the beginning. Try replacing it.
  5. Are you taking your HCG shots at the same time every day? If not, you need to adjust the when part of the protocol. Not taking your shot at the same time every day can affect the hormone levels in your body making you feel hungry.
  6. Check your dosage. Your dose can either be too low or too high that is why you feel hungry. When on a good dose you are not hungry most of the day except at mealtime. But then you are satisfied after you take your meal. You are no longer hungry for several hours after that. Check this article on how to find the right dose of HCG.
