Importance of HCG Diet Foods for Lifetime Fat Loss

by Dr. Dennis Clark

The HCG diet menu will keep you slim for life. During the protocol, HCG diet foods must be low in fat. Dietary fat distracts the metabolism of abnormal body fat and leads to the storage of body fat in the presence of dietary carbohydrate. Here is how to make this protocol work to keep you slim the rest of your life.

HCG Diet Foods

The widely known four main components of the HCG diet consist of: 1) a low fat meat protein source; 2) a vegetable; 3) a fruit; and, 4) crackers or breadsticks. These four categories primarily represent two of the three food groups, i.e., protein and carbohydrate. All of them are either low fat (meat, vegetable, fruit) or no fat (crackers).

Recommended meats are obviously the sources of protein. The other three categories are sources of carbohydrates. They are allowed either as whole foods (vegetables, fruits) or in very limited amounts per meal (crackers).

Making Dietary Fat and Carbohydrate Work Together

The low carb part of this protocol is crucial for keeping the liver from becoming saturated with stored carbs. A carb-saturated liver converts excess carbs to triglycerides that go back into the bloodstream and eventually into storage in fat cells. Neither of these outcomes is healthful when excessive.

The hormone phase of the HCG diet keeps the amounts of dietary fats and carbs low so the hormone can direct the removal of stored body fat. This would not happen without low dietary fats and carbs. This also explains why cosmetics and skin products that contain oils can undermine fat metabolism.

HCG Diet Foods for Lifetime Weight Management

The food choices themselves are excellent for a lifetime of healthy eating in many respects. These foods can be consumed in sufficient quantities to meet the daily caloric needs of any Basal Metabolic Rate.

Foods that upset metabolic balance would still do so. Examples include sugars, starches, and processed carbohydrates from all sources, especially those from wheat and rice. They also include super sweet fruits such as grapes and bananas.

Staying Slim After HCG Not Guaranteed

Too many overhyped HCG diet clinics and online promotions claim that the HCG diet will keep your fat off for the rest of your life. This is poppycock. Such claims mislead people into thinking that they do not have to alter their lifestyles. Here is what I guarantee: If you get to your target weight using the HCG protocol, then go back to eating foods that made you fat in the first place, you will get fat again. It is that simple.

The Problem With Protein

This food group is routinely ignored in almost all weight loss diets, at least as far as worry about any effects on weight gain. Arguments instead revolve exclusively around the roles of fats and carbs. Protein, however, does play a role in maintaining body fat. This is a complicated topic that deserves articles by itself. However, here is what more than 50 years of research shows very clearly: You will live a long and healthy life if the amount of protein you eat constitutes as little as 5 percent of your total calories.

Excess protein is, indeed, a problem. We eat too much of it, especially from animal-based foods.

Good News For The HCG Vegetarian Diet

You do not need a dedicated protein source at all. The typical sources of protein for vegetarians (beans and grains) would not work during the protocol because of their high carb content.

However, you can get all the protein you need from spinach. The good news is that you can eat all the spinach you want and never disrupt your progress during the HCG protocol. And you will never be hungry if you eat as much as spinach as you can hold.

By the way, this advice also extends to adopting a vegan lifestyle for life. Studies have shown over and over that excess protein intake, primarily from animal-based foods, is bad for your health in many ways. Overweight is just one of those ways.

For a good HCG diet menu,

After HCG Diet To Do List

by Dr. Dennis Clark

What about after HCG diet? This is where most people blow it. The first 3 weeks after taking HCG are crucial. Long-term weight management after that is the goal. Failing to follow certain guidelines will add weight back again. Here is what you must do. [Read more…]

HCG Diet For Vegetarians

by Dr. Dennis Clark

The need for protein is overrated for the HCG diet. Besides, veggies of all kinds offer plenty of it. The idea behind the meat choices is to limit dietary fat. Research is very clear on what the best diet would be, before, during, and after the HCG diet.

Just in case you are looking for a way to survive on the meat-centered HCG diet protocol without meat, here is an idea that will work perfectly: go vegan. Specifically, go vegan without grains. Here is an extreme version of how to do so at this link:

HCG Vegan Diet Protocol

My Comment

Sandy and Steve make some good points, although some of their explanations sound like voodoo science. Here is what I have found in the scientific literature: A grain-free vegan diet, raw or not, will be better for fat loss and lifelong weight management regardless of whether you go through the HCG diet protocol. Any advice that you see, including that from Sandy and Steve, about cleansing and detox is without scientific merit, even though it may sound reasonable. It may even be correct. It just has no scientific merit.

The three biggest flaws of almost all diets are: 1) too much protein; 2) too many grain-based foods, 2) too much animal-based food. I guarantee that you would not even be considering the HCG diet if you reduced those flaws. This will be a subject that I dig into with more depth later.

All the best in natural health,
Dr. D

HCG Diet Recipes – How to Enjoy Your Meals to the Max

by Dr. Dennis Clark

HCG diet recipes seem to be everywhere. Cookbooks are usually pretty expensive. Blogs and websites offer contradictory information. So I took matters into my own hands, made my own HCG meals tasty and filling, and put together my favorite recipes. Call me the Iron Chef of the HCG Diet if you wish. I had fun, and the result is a set of simple, easy to use recipes for everyone. Cheap, too. Watch the video or just go directly to my Recommended Books link above and check it our for yourself.

HCG diet recipes should be simple, easy, and flavorful. Key ingredients include the right spices, herbs, and sweeteners for making the entire protocol satisfying and enjoyable. You can even dine out without violating the HCG diet, if you know what to look for on a restaurant menu.

The Trouble With Protein

Protein sources that are allowed on the HCG diet are limited in their variety and in their inherent flavor. White fish, shellfish, and chicken breast are just plain dull without fat. If you could follow Julia Child’s advice to smother everything in butter (not allowed on the HCG diet!), you would get a lot more flavor from these foods. So avoiding fat and still getting flavor is the challenge

The key to making the protein sources flavorful is simply how you use herbs and spices. There really is not much to it. Garlic and onion are the most important of these. Hot sauce, chili powder, cilantro, parsley, tarragon, oregano, and many more highly flavorful spices make any dish of chicken or fish taste great. If you do it right, you can even have tacos! And if you are careful, you can incorporate extra lean ground beef.

Mother Nature’s Veggies

Vine-ripened tomatoes and cucumbers (both of which are really fruits, by the way), young asparagus spears, and dark green leafy greens are as good as it gets from Mother Nature. If you had a source for these, which would almost have to be locally grown, then cooking would not be necessary.

However, since the most inexpensive and easy to find veggies are going to be at your supermarket, then you will want to flavor them up a bit, or maybe a lot. They will have very little flavor, because they have been picked unripe, put into cold storage, then fumigated with ethylene gas to make them look ripe.

The keys to making flavorful veggie dishes are the same as for protein dishes. Herbs and spices make everything much more enjoyable. Oh, and there are some allowable vegetable combinations, such as cucumber and lettuce, that work just fine in spite of violating Dr. Simeons’ original protocol.

Chocolate Strawberries and Other Great Desserts

Like veggies, fruits are at their tastiest when Mother Nature takes them to ripeness. However, if you by chance want to really liven up some not so ripe strawberries, a chocolate sauce sweetened with Stevia is a great choice. The key is mixing the right proportions of unsweetened cocoa powder and flavored liquid Stevia (Vanilla Creme or Dark Chocolate are the best) into a fruit dip. Freezing and serving chocolate-covered strawberries is a real delight!

Even if your apple happens to be a little tart, you can transform it into an allowable applesauce. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, with flavored liquid Stevia, are the key ingredients. All you have to do is slice the apple, cover and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (with one-fourth cup of water), then puree and add spices. Wonderful!

Stevia to the Rescue

None of the artificial sweeteners are good for your health. And some, such as aspartame, are downright dangerous. Stevia is the best of the lot if you want a sweetener without side effects. Well, you might detect an aftertaste if you use unflavored Stevia powder. The flavored liquids, however, open up all kinds of sweetening adventures without the aftertaste. Imagine adding these new flavors to your fruit desserts: English Toffee, Apricot Nectar, Chocolate Raspberry, Cinnamon, Chocolate, Grape, Lemon, Peppermint, Root Beer, Valencia Orange, Vanilla Crème.

By the way, liquid Stevia makes any beverage sweet and flavorful, too. I like English Toffee in my coffee, so I no longer feel the need to fuel my sugar addiction in my java. Although commercial sodas are the greatest diet evil in human history (am I being too wishy washy on what I think?), you can make a delicious and healthful soda on your own with flavored liquid Stevia. Just add a few drops of any flavor to club soda and there you have it. Nothing better.

Melba Toast

Okay, there is not much you can do with Melba Toast all by itself. Flavored Melba crackers do offer actual flavor, though (e.g., garlic, sesame). However, you can incorporate Melba Toast into meat dishes, such as meatloaf, to maximize your flavor experience from the starchy component of the HCG diet.

Enjoy!

All the best in natural health,
Dr. D
