HCG Diet Phase 3 P3 Foods to eat - This are the foods that work best for me

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!

Trying new products that work on original Dr. Simeon's HcG diet protocol for phase 2 P2

I'd be lying if I said I'd been trying out different products that are different than the original protocol for Dr. Simeon's HcG diet. The truth is I've been having a very hard time this time on my 5th round in 3 years staying on protocol. I'm bored. I needed to find some other options.

HCG Diet Phase 2 P2 recipe: Mexican chicken & cabbage

In 3 years, I just started my 4th round of the HCG diet. I don't know about you but it's not that this diet is that hard if you're organized and you make all your own food at home, it's that it's so mundane during P2. Because of that, I'm constantly trying to come up with new flavors, with the little list of foods we can eat during P2, that's hard.

In a non stick skillet, cook over medium-high heat, 100g chicken in a little water, ACV, organic (NO SUGAR) chicken broth or amino acids. Add 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 t or more to taste cumin & 1/4 t or more to taste chili powder. Add water or chicken broth along with shredded cabbage. To make it easy and organized, I buy the bagged shredded cabbage from Walmart (approx 75 calories for the whole bag). Cook down. Add more water or broth as needed. Mix in a tablespoon full or more fresh chopped cilantro. Mix well. Remove from heat and serve.
