Traditionally these are the foods you can eat and add in during the first 3 weeks of P3 - Click here
But I've found that these foods actually work better, keep in mind to stay under 22 carbs per day and watch your "bad" fat intake with oil, cream, butter, etc. And as always, read every label to make sure it doesn't have any hidden sugars, starches, etc. The first 4 times I did P3 of the HCG diet, I counted calories and still gained weight even with steak days. The past couple of times, I stuck with a low carb diet, didn't necessarily pay too much attention to the calories but definitely to the carbs. I like to stay in the 15 carb range the first week and up to 20-22 the 2nd & 3rd weeks. The 4th week I add fruits sparingly...and still no weight gain which means no steak days!

Hi Kimber, Thank you for posting all your recipes and lists! I was feeling daunted coming into phase 3 but this has made it so much easier :) How do you count carbs? This is my first time on the HCG diet and first time ever really of watching what I eat so I'm a bit lost. Thanks
I usually use My Plate to count the carbs.
