#1 Drink as much water as possible. The more water you drink, the more weight you will lose!
*Drink lots of tea! Smooth Move Tea, Green Tea, and Yerba tea.
*Save a serving of fruit for the late evening - eat one med apple (extra fiber). It will help you lose weight overnight! Use Agave Nectar (phase 3) or Stevia (phase 2) in moderation to sweeten things up a little. You can find Agave or Stevia at your local health food store or Kroger.
*Use a sugar control to help curb your cravings for sweets. Following the protocol is a breeze when you are not constantly fighting your cravings.

Dr Simeon spent many years testing and retesting what worked and what did not work for this diet. He eliminated particular food items by examining the results. If a food did not enhance his findings, he eliminated it. For example, why not Chicken and Turkey? The reason is simple, turkey was found to be a hindrance to the success Dr. Simeon was looking for. This is also true with fatty American beef, eggs, fresh tuna, cantaloupe, green beans, oily body creams, etc.
He also states, "don’t mix vegetables". This seems odd, but the results were clear. Mixing vegetables gave a slight variance in weight loss. How much is unknown, but why risk it?
People have stalled their weight loss by using prohibited seasonings. For example, some garlic salt may be suitable; however, there are bands that have sugar and starch as an ingredient. Using the wrong seasoning, even a dash, can delay your weight loss. Check the labels, do not be fooled.
Let’s face it; we all want to stay motivated throughout our HCG experience and feel full on 500 calories. The good news is that by taking the HCG your body will be burning the unwanted fat in your body and you won’t feel hungry like you are starving yourself. But you will still have moments when you need a little bit of help to get through to the next meal. What is the best way to feel full, without cheating? Here are some tips to keep you motivated:
Plan Your Meals Ahead of Time
If you work or are a busy mom, you can plan your meals a week in advance. Write down in a food journal your meal plan. This will not be too hard because you only have to plan out your lunch and dinner. Remember, breakfast should be coffee, tea, or flavored water. There are several different flavors of Stevia and herbal teas. Change them up and experiment with flavors that are appealing to you. You can check out our website for great recipes ideas for lunch and dinner. Having a plan and sticking to it will ensure great results! So much of your success will depend on taking out the guess- work. Cook all the meat you will need to eat for the week and freeze it to make meal time easier.
Spice up Your HCG Experience
Who would be motivated by a plain piece of dry chicken? Try a new spice or sauce with your protein! Lemon juice, seasonings of all types (check the label for hidden carbohydrates), tomato sauce, and flavored Stevia drops can all help add a new “kick” to your bland diet. Most people learn to cook foods in new and interesting ways that stick with them even after they are done getting to their goal weight with HCG.
Switch Up Your Fruits and Veggies
Although apples are a delicious fruit to eat on the HCG diet plan, you can switch up your fruits for each meal and give yourself some variety. Try a ½ grapefruit, strawberries, or an orange. You can eat them cold or heat them up, add cinnamon, or add a little flavored Stevia for sweetening. Vegetables are flavorful and filling. Remember to only eat one kind of fruit or vegetable per meal.
Don’t Be Discouraged
The liquid HCG diet is very motivating compared to other diets because of the quick results! If you have reached a plateau for a day or two, try the following suggestions to continue seeing results: Read all of the labels on your foods. Some proteins contain additives that can contain calories or sugars. Women may see a lull in weight loss during their menstrual cycle.
If you are not exercising, start with a brisk walk of 20 minutes in the mornings or evenings. If you are already on an exercise plan, try to add a few more minutes of a moderate cardio exercise to your day or try a new cardio exercise that will raise your heart rate above resting. You can always increase your water intake even more, and try skipping your breadstick or Melba toast. Remember to get your beauty rest. A rested body is a healthier body. It can definitely aid in your results with the liquid HCG diet.
