HcG diet recipe phase 2 P2: Tuna Salad

I know, I know. It's not on Dr. Simeon's original protocol BUT did you know that they only had canned tuna in oil back then? Yeah, so of course it wouldn't be on his protocol. I've read a lot about others eating canned tuna in water with no problems, so I tried it and I didn't have any problems either. In fact I had .8 lb loss one day and another day was 1 lb loss.

1/2 C (2/3 can) canned white albacore tuna in water
1 homemade HcG diet refrigerator pickle, chopped
1/4 apple, chopped
mustard, to taste
salt & pepper, to taste

Mix altogether and serve.

HcG DIET RECIPE PHASE 3 P3: Low Carb PIZZA CRUST - gluten free diabetic friendly

Now this is AMAZING! Not just ok, no this truly is spectacular. My whole family loves it...my one year old, 5 year old, 30-something year old husband, and me, well, it's become my most favorite meal, even when I'm not in P3! It actually bends like a thin crust pizza, no fork necessary!

Mix: 1 1/2 C shredded mozzarella & 2 T cut up cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave another 30 seconds. Stir. If it's needed, another 30 seconds.

Quickly add 3/4 C almond flour & 1 egg at room temperature. Stir well.

On a seasoned pizza stone or parchment lined pan, spread with spatula or wet fingers. Prick with fork all over to prevent bubbles. Sprinkle with garlic salt.

Bake in preheated oven 425° for 20-24 minutes.

Add toppings and bake another minute or two or until the cheese melts.

HcG DIET PHASE 2 & 3 P2 P3: Fight Hunger Pangs with Essential Oils

1. Drink more water. Drink tons more water!
2. Add 8-10 drops dōTERRA Slim & Sassy essential oil blend to 4 oz water and drink.
3. Place several drops of dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil on the palm of your hand. Rub palms together, cup over nose and mouth and take several very deep breaths.
4. Put a few drops of dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil in 4 oz water and drink.
5. Place a few dōTERRA Peppermint Beadlets in your mouth, pop with your teeth. (my favorite!)
