HcG diet recipe phase 2 P2: CLOUD / OOPSY BREAD low carb

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!

3 eggs, carefully separated
1/2 t cream of tartar
2 T fat free cream cheese or cottage cheese
couple of drops of stevia

Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Beat the remaining ingredients, including the yolks, together in a separate bowl. Fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Drop large spoonfuls onto seasoned pizza stone or parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated 300° oven for 10-16 minutes. Watch carefully! You want them to be lightly browned. See photos.

Now I've seen many blogs where they tell you to cool completely then to store them in a ziploc overnight, but let me tell you, I found them soggy and gross. I love them fresh out of the oven either plain, sprinkled with cinnamon and stevia or served with Walden Farms pancake syrup.

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!

HcG diet recipe phase 2 P2: "BREAKFAST" TACO

I know, I know what you're going to say. That corn tortillas aren't on Dr. Simeon's original protocol. Here me out. One corn tortilla is 50 calories. Because I'm gluten free anyway, I can't have a melba toast. So occasionally I sub a corn tortilla (or half of one) for melba toast. I personally have never had a stall or difference in my weight loss when I do have a corn tortilla. I have 1 - 2 corn tortillas per week with absolutely no problems. It sure is nice to have a little variation during phase 2!

In a non-stick pan, scramble 3 egg whites with 1 egg. Salt & pepper to taste. Place on a corn tortilla. Top with HcG diet approved salsa (optional).

HCG DIET Phase 3 (P3) RECIPE : Cloud Bread

I had heard about this from a friend who's lost 70 lbs in a year...so far. She loves this. I like it especially with cinnamon & stevia, but I think I expected it to be something hardier. Expect it to be like a cloud, similar to meringue when warm. While warm they are crumbly. Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock bag overnight. They'll change their consistency, nice and chewy.

3 eggs, separated carefully!
3 T cottage cheese or cream cheese
1/4 t cream of tartar
1g stevia

300° preheat. In a bowl, mix yolks and cheese and stevia. In another bowl add tartar to whites and beat on high speed until they're fluffy and form nice peaks. Carefully fold yolk mixture into whites until mixed but try not to break down the fluffiness too much. Spray cookie sheets with non stick spray. Scoop mixture into 10 even rounds onto sheets. Bake on middle rack for around half an hour, watching closely. You want them to be golden brown. Cool on racks. While warm they are crumbly. Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock bag overnight. They'll change their consistency, more chewy.

HCG DIET Phase 2 (P2) RECIPE : Egg Salad

4 Hardboiled eggs (discard 3 yolks), finely chopped

HCG DIET Phase 2 (P2) RECIPE : Deviled Eggs

Slice 4 hardboiled eggs in half and remove the yolks. Discard 3 yolks. Mix 1 yolk with a small squirt of prepared mustard, pinch of salt and pepper, and a small splash of milk. Divide between 8 egg white halves and serve.

HCG DIET Phase 3 (P3) RECIPE: Flower Power Eggs

There’s no recipe, really, just three steps: 
1) Cut bell peppers into 1/2 inch rings; 
2) Place in a non-stick lightly oiled skillet; and 
3) Crack an egg in the middle of each ring and cover and cook over low heat until done. If you like your yolks runny, just cook over low heat until whites are done. If you like your yolks firm, break the yolks and then cook over low heat until both whites and yolks are firm.
