Eating well while on a very low calorie diet (like the popular HCG diet) isn’t as hard as it seems. If you take full advantage of the foods you are allowed you won’t miss the missing items nearly as much! There are many healthy, low fat, sugarless meals you can come up with when you incorporate the lean meats, fresh produce and Stevia that are recommended/required for the diet.

Try this sample diet plan:

First Day:

For breakfast just stick to the tea of your choice. But feel free to experiment with various Stevia flavors to get it just the way you like it. At lunch time go ahead and have a bit of low fat cottage cheese and an appropriate amount of an approved fruit (we suggest strawberries). You should also have 2 Melba Toasts with the meal. You can either have your Melba Toasts plain or you can have them with sugarless salsa. The salsa will count as your vegetable. If you choose not to incorporate the salsa at lunch time you can save the vegetable to have a mid afternoon snack of salted English cucumbers. At dinner time have grilled chicken. Make sure your seasonings are carb free. With you chicken prepare some steamed cabbage. This time save your 2 Melba Toasts until the end and make them into a fabulous dessert by dropping a few drops of Vanilla Stevia on them and adding strawberries to the mix. Yum!

Second Day:

Have half a grapefruit for breakfast (you can always sweeten your grapefruit with Stevia; it has an added bonus of being an appetite suppressant). For lunch have grilled chicken mixed with grilled veggies. Crunch up your Melba Toasts and add them to the chicken/veggies. Place the mixture inside a fresh lettuce leaf and you’ve got yourself a fabulous HCG appropriate lettuce wrap. Have an apple mid afternoon. For dinner you get to have fish (we suggest grilled with lemon pepper seasonings), another half grapefruit and some asparagus. You can eat it steamed, but you might want to try roasting it in the oven. And as always…don’t forget to grab two Melba Toasts as your starch.

Third Day:

Herbal tea combined with an apple makes a great breakfast. Right after breakfast you’ll start preparing your dinner. Put a very lean roast in the crockpot so it has all day to cook slowly. With your roast you’ll put onions and celery and your choice of appropriate seasonings (check your HCG Diet Direct Shopping Guide for specifics). Lunch will be fabulous and spicy chili. Pull the recipe from your HCG cookbook. It’s a favorite. Add a little extra chili powder if you like it REALLY spicy. Eat it in combination with your Melba Toasts. It’s a very filling meal. At dinner time your roast will be perfect. Enjoy it. After dinner have a warm cinnamon apple for dessert.

Thinking ahead and sticking to your plan makes it quite easy to incorporate the foods you need and avoid falling off plan. And even better…you won’t be hungry and you won’t feel deprived. Find recipes that you like that are HCG Diet appropriate and make sure you have the necessary ingredients on hand. And always make sure you’re drinking plenty of water, of course!
