More great tips for the HCG 500 Calorie Diet

You can use the juice of 1 whole lemon per day in any way you'd like. If you want to use half before lunch and the other half before bedtime, that's okay.

Seasonings:
  • Salt
  • pepper
  • vinegar
  • mustard powder
  • garlic
  • sweet basil
  • parsley
  • thyme
  • marjoram

    Most seasonings may be used on the 500 Calorie Diet. But no oil, butter, or dressing.

Beverages: 
  • Tea
  • coffee
  • plain water
  • mineral water

    These are the only drinks allowed. However, you can have them in any amount whenever you'd like. In fact, you should drink at least 2 liters or more of these liquids every single day.


    Some people are afraid to drink a lot of fluids because they are afraid that it may cause them retain more water. This is completely wrong, the body is actually more inclined to store water when you are not drinking enough fluids.

Using Fruit or Grissini-Breadstick/Melba-Toast For a Snack:

  • The fruit or the Grissini-Breadstick/Melba-Toast may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner. But you cannot have more than the four items listed for lunch and dinner at one meal.

Medicine and Make-up:

No medicine or cosmetics other than...
  • lipstick
  • eyebrow pencil
  • powder
  • Bare Minerals

    These are the only cosmetics that you should use on this VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet). If you do not see something listed, it probably should not be used. Unless you have been told otherwise by your doctor.

Preparing your protein:
  • Your 100 grams of meat must be weighed raw after all of the visible fat has been removed. To do this accurately, you should use a digital scale.

Breaking up your meals:
  • If you would like, you can remove anything from your meal. There is also no objection to breaking up your 2 meals.

    For example: You might have a breadstick and an apple for breakfast or after dinner, just as long as you deduct it from your lunch or dinner.

    However, you may not eat 2 Breadsticks or 2 Fruits at the same time and you should never save any portion of food to eat the following day.

    Keep in mind that 2 small Apples, do not equal one large Apple. So no matter how big or small the Apple might be, it still counts as 1 Apple.
And remember, you are allowed to have Chicken Breast - This does not mean a wing or a drumstick.

Some people think that it's okay to start making up their own 500 Calorie Diet Protocol as they go along ... Those people are wrong! Stick to the plan and you will see great results.

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads

What To Watch Out For When Starting Phase 3

During The First Half Of Phase 3 You Should Really Be Careful Of This... When Phase 2 of the HCG Diet is coming to an end, you are instructed by the Protocol to stop using the HCG Hormone, but you should still continue on with the 500 Calorie Diet for an additional 3 days. This is so that the HCG Hormone has a little bit of time to work its way out of your system. Otherwise, if you just simply started eating a higher amount of calories with the HCG still in your body, it could possibly cause you to gain. That is why cheating on the HCG Diet, even just a little bit, can be a huge issue. But even after those three days of not taking HCG, you still need to be cautious going into Phase 3 Maintenance. The Main Thing To Watch Out For When Starting Phase 3: The most important thing you should be watching out for during the first half of P3 is simply the foods you eat. I know, you already knew this right. But really, even though most people know to stay far away from sugars and st

How To Mix Your HCG Injections

If Your Interested In Knowing The Proper Way To Mix Your HCG Injections, Take A Look At The Video Below... In the past I have been asked for a more detailed explanation on how to mix your HCG for injections. So when I came across this video today on You Tube I just had to share with you. You'll see in this video how to mix 5000IU of HCG. But be sure to pay close attention to the little notes that pop up throughout the video. These notes will tell you how much you will need to inject for your exact dose. Mixing Instructions For HCG Injections If you plan on doing one round of 40 HCG Shots , it would be a good idea to get two 5000IU vials of the HCG Hormone rather than one 10000IU vial. Then, when the first 5000IU runs out you would simply mix the second. This way you will ensure that your HCG stays fresh for the full 40 days. However, if you do it this way you will most likely have a little bit of liquid HCG left over when your round is complete. But it's better to h
