HCG Diet Phase 3 Summary
(Part 2 of 4)
Like we said, this phase of the HCG Diet is broken into two sections. The "1st 3 Weeks of HCG Maintenance" & the "2nd 3 Weeks of HCG Maintenance." We are going to explain the difference between each part.
The 1st 3 Weeks of Maintenance: No Sugars or Starches
- During the 1st 3 weeks of HCG Maintenance you should not eat anything that is considered a sugar or starch.
- No sugars mean avoiding table sugar, sweet fruits, ice cream, candy, desserts, etc.
- No starches mean avoiding bread, potatoes, pasta, cereal, oatmeal, etc.
- Phase 3 of the HCG Diet is important because you are re-training your body how to handle foods and how to maintain your weight loss from Phase 2 of the HCG Diet.
- If you cheat during HCG Maintenance, you may mess up all the hard work you endured on Phase 2. Believe me, you don’t want to do that.
- Most food plans for HCG Phase 3 consist of high-protein foods, veggies, dairy products, and low-sugar fruits.
- Protein is a very important part of HCG Maintenance as it helps keep your weight low.
- Good high protein foods to eat on HCG Maintenance are:
-
- Meats (no processed lunch meat)
- Eggs
- Peanut Butter
- Hot wings (non-breaded)
- Jerky
- Greek Yogurt (unsweetened)
- Low carb fruits (avoid melons, mangos, bananas, etc.)
- Low starch Veggies (avoid potatoes, corn, yams, etc.)
- Nuts (in small amounts)
- Cheese (in small amounts)
- Healthy fats (avocado, salmon, olive oil, etc.)
- Salads topped with grilled meat & low-carb dressings (such as ranch or blue cheese without added sugar)
- Protein Bars (with specific nutritional guidelines, see more here)
