Tasty Tips for the Maintenance Phase and Other Diets like the Ketogenic Diet

This article had tasty diet tips for people on the HCG Diet and similar diets like the Ketogenic Diet. The maintenance phase (and maintaining your weight in general) can be challenging due to the restrictions concerning carbohydrates, or starches and sugars. During this three-week period, you will forego all sugars and starches and focus on eating mostly whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and lean proteins. You don't want to restrict calories during maintenance, because during this phase, you're setting a new weight set point and getting your body used to maintaining its normal weight while consuming the calories you need for optimum health and wellbeing.

 

Particularly for those with a sweet tooth or a penchant for bread, the maintenance phase can be difficult, although it's probably not as challenging as the 500-calorie diet phase. Still, with a little creativity, you can have your cake and eat it too.
