When it comes to diets, it doesn’t get much more extreme or effective than the HCG diet. It’s a consistently popular diet for those looking to lose weight and get healthy fast. Like any diet, though, it can seem\u00a0very\u00a0<\/em>restricting to new-comers.<\/p>\n

As long as you follow those phases<\/a>, you’re going to be very happy with the results.<\/p>\n

If you’re starting your HCG journey, here’s an HCG diet food list of the best things you can still eat.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Beverages<\/h2>\n

One key step to the HCG diet is\u00a0avoiding solid food before lunch. That means it’s coffee or tea for breakfast, and\u00a0no\u00a0<\/em>sugar. You can use calorie-free sweeteners, or go black.<\/p>\n

If you want, you can put some milk in there, but be cautious. You can only have one tablespoon of milk every 24 hours on the HCG diet. If you’re comfortable blowing that on coffee or tea, then go ahead.<\/p>\n

As far as the rest of the day goes, you can only have water, coffee, or tea. You should try to drink at least 2-liters per day of water. Also, no alcohol whatsoever.<\/p>\n

2. The Meats<\/h2>\n

You can still eat plenty of meat on the HCG diet, you just have to watch your intake.<\/p>\n

HCG-friendly meats include chicken breast, veal, lobster, crab, shrimp, and white fish. On the other hand, you want to avoid high-fat meats like salmon, eel, bacon, and herring. If you see fat on a cut of meat you want to enjoy, you should make sure to cut it off before indulging.<\/p>\n

3. Vegetables<\/h2>\n

You can have one low-cal low-carb veggie with lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n

Low-calorie vegetables include tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, spinach, beets, and asparagus. These have to be eaten without garnishing like butter or sauce. Otherwise, prepare them however you like.<\/p>\n

The best option is something high in vitamins and nutrients, like spinach.<\/p>\n

4. Carbohydrates<\/h2>\n

You don’t have a lot of freedom when it comes to the HCG diet and carbs.<\/p>\n

On the HCG diet you can have a single piece of Melba toast or breadstick with your lunch or dinner. You can also have some strawberries, an apple, or an orange. Otherwise, bread and carb-heavy foods are a big no-no.<\/p>\n

5. What Not to Eat<\/h2>\n

There’s no wiggle room in the HCG diet. If you want it to work right, you\u00a0need\u00a0<\/em>to eat only what’s allowed. It’s easiest to figure out a schedule and follow it day-to-day.<\/p>\n

It may be tempting, but you have to avoid foods like pasta, bread, chocolate, and cookies. You should also avoid pears, okra, and other “healthy” food that are high in fat<\/a> and sugars. That also includes nuts and potatoes.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, you\u00a0can\u00a0<\/em>go wild with seasonings. Use all the salt, vinegar, mustard, or parsley you want. Just don’t use oily dressings and butter.<\/p>\n

Following the HCG Diet Food List<\/h2>\n

The HCG diet food list may seem restrictive, but it’s absolutely effective. If followed correctly, you could lose up to two pounds<\/a>\u00a0per day! If that’s not a great reason to try it out, nothing is.<\/p>\n
