HcG diet recipe phase 2 P2: VEGETARIAN VEGETABLE ZUCCHINI CHILI

Since the "outlaw" of over the counter hcg in the USA, I'm now seeing a weight loss doctor that prescribes hcg injections and gives me a weekly check up. I have found it more informative than the few times I did the hcg diet with the drops. Although she uses the original protocol as a base, she also goes by blood type, allergies, etc. She has me on a vegetarian protocol which is why I'm deviating from the original protocol in the past. I've actually had more success!

1 small chopped zucchini
1/2 C chopped onion
garlic powder
chile powder
cumin
1/4 heaping cup black beans
1 can petite chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 C water
several slices pickled jalapenos

Bring it all to a boil, then reduce to medium, cooking until it reduces. Cool slightly and serve.

This has become my favorite!
