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.

ONE corn tortilla for lunch and/or dinner has not stalled me at all!

Spraying the pan with Trader Joe's coconut oil spray for sauteing 

chicken, beef, fish or a vegetable has not stalled me at all!

ONE serving of prepackaged UNSWEETENED natural applesauce

has not stalled me at all!

1/4 C freeze dried strawberries (I've tried several brands just make sure it's just strawberries and no sugar or other sweeteners added) has not stalled me at all!

HcG diet recipe phase 3 P3: Chocolate Coconut Bars

1 C Lilly's stevia sweetened chocolate chips
3/4 C coconut oil
1/2 t unsweetened vanilla
1/4 C more or less powdered stevia

In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Remove and place approx 1.5-2 T melted chocolate into paper lined muffin tins. Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Place coconut oil in a clean microwave safe bowl and microwave for about a minute to melt it. Stir in vanilla and stevia. Pour about 1.5-2 T of coconut mixture over the chocolate. Refrigerate 15-30 minutes.

Still in the paper muffin cups, stack and place in ziploc bag. Freeze until ready to eat.

Makes 8-10

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.

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.

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!)
