Hello. This is Lisa Allen and in this video I'm just going to go over really quickly the
foods that you're allowed to eat on the HCG Diet so let's get started and let's move on
to the next slide.
In the HCG Diet you're allowed to have at each meal and that is lunch and dinner. Breakfast
is slightly different and we'll go over that in a second but at each meal you're allowed
to have one protein from this protein list. There is one vegetable that you're allowed
to have from the list also one grissini breadstick or melba toast then also a fruit. I'll show
you the list of the fruits that you're allowed to have.
Let's start with the protein list. The proteins that you're allowed to have are lean beef,
chicken breast, shrimp and any kind of non oily fish. By lean beef we mean with all visible
fat trimmed and not very much fat marbling in the meat. Things like a round steak are
good. You can do hamburger as long as it's 96% lean or more. With the chicken breast
just the breast don't do the tenderloins. Make sure that there's not skin or fat on
the outside of chicken breast. Shrimp is fine. Non oil fish, no tuna or salmon. Go with something
like a white fish, soul or flounder are all good choices.
On the prep and cooking make sure you purchase meats without additives or any kind of broth
added or flavor enhancers. Also on the cooking no oils. You can broil them, steam cook them
or pan cook in water. I like to slice mine up really thin and then cook them in just
a tiny bit of water in the frying pan. It works great.
The vegetable list, here are the veggies that you're allowed to have. You can have tomatoes,
cucumbers, asparagus, onions, radishes, lettuce, spinach, celery, beet greens, chard, cabbage,
chicory and fennel. On the tomatoes you should only have one medium to large tomato but on
the other vegetables you can pretty much eat as much as you like because they don't have
very many calories and not very much sugar but tomatoes do have just a little bit too
much sugar in them. You should only have just the one.
Prep and cooking, again raw, lightly steamed or you can put them in soups. No oils and
organic, if possible. Keep in mind on the veggies list you're allowed to have one of
these per meal and you are not supposed to mix veggies.
Fruit choices at lunch and dinner you can have one of these fruit choices. You can have
one small to medium apple of any type. The pink ladies are my favorite. Maybe you have
another favorite that you like better. Medium sized orange, a half a grapefruit or a handful
of strawberries but again only have one.
if you need to like say you're a person who needs to really needs to eat a little bit
more at breakfast you can split your fruits up a little bit and have say half of the apple
with breakfast and half of it with lunch and have your orange at supper but do not eat
both fruits at one meal.
The other things that you're allowed to have. Two grissini breadsticks or melba toasts daily.
Make sure you split those up. Don't eat them together. One at each meal is the general
way that it's done. You can have the juice of one lemon daily. This is fantastic for
making lemonade. Also you can have up to one tablespoon of milk. Do not use non dairy creamer
as your milk because that often has a lot of additives and stuff in it that will kind
of halt your diet up a bit.
Spices, these are some really great choices salt, pepper, cider, vinegar, garlic, cinnamon.
Make sure when you shop for your spices that there are no starches, additives, no aluminium,
no MSG in your spices. You can also use Stevia as your sweetener and I've used the flavored
Stevia's a lot in our house and they are absolutely yummy. Don't miss out the chance to satisfy
your sweet tooth a little bit with some Stevia.
Let's go over really quickly what a day of meals would look like. Breakfast, you can
have coffee or tea unlimited. A lot of people will put the one tablespoon of milk a day
that they get into their coffee or tea in the morning. If you have trouble going without
your breakfast, try eating half of your lunch fruit serving for breakfast. Do not substitute
non-dairy creamer for milk in tea and coffee.
At lunch you can have 100 grams of one of the lean proteins that we talked about earlier.
One vegetable from the allowed veggies list, no mixing. Also one grissini breadstick or
melba toast. One serving of fruit from your allowed fruits.
Then at dinner you can do the same thing. A 100 grams of lean protein. It's important
that at dinner you have a different four choices than you had at lunch. Don't eat the same
thing every day. That will help you a lot with not becoming bored and also it seems
to improve the weight loss.
Where can I find out more? There is a whole lot more to find out about shopping for the
HCG diet. We've got a great article on that on our blog at HCGdiet.onesource.hcg.com and
we also have HCG Diet Supplies available at www.onesourcehcg.com and I'll see you there.
Bye.
