Can You Eat Any Foods That Equal 500 Calories On The HCG Diet?

Some People That Do The HCG Diet, Think They Can Eat Whatever They Want As Long As It's Not More Than 500 Calories Per Day.

But Are They right?

When you are on the HCG Weight Loss Program, it is crucial that you do not eat more than 500 calories per day. Plus, the foods that you eat on the diet are just as important as the amount of calories.

If you were to drop your fruit and eat an extra Melba Toast instead, you wouldn't be getting more calories, but you might not lose any weight either.

There are a lot of foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, which have the same calories as those that are listed as part of the diet. But some of these foods can actually keep you from losing weight when using the HCG Hormone. Pimiento peppers, artichokes and pears are great examples. 

The funny thing about the HCG Diet is it can work differently for a person depending on what part of the world they live in. For instance, the diet might be a little bit different for someone in the USA as it is for someone that lives in Italy.

Why Does Your Geographical Location Matter On The HCG Diet?


One reason is that American beef has almost double the calories than Italian beef; probably because Italian beef is not marbled with fat. This marbling is almost impossible to remove. So in America, a low-grade veal should be used for one meal and fish, chicken breast, lobster, crawfish, prawns or shrimp, crab-meat or kidneys for the other meal.

When local conditions or the eating habits of the population make changes necessary, the total amount of daily calories must still stay at 500, no matter where you are in the world.

A lot of people wonder why eggs were not included on the 500 Calorie Diet Menu. This is because two large eggs are roughly equivalent to 100 grams of meat, and unfortunately the yolk contains a large amount of fat.

However, on occasion it is okay to have an egg or two. But it's not a good idea to make it a regular part of your diet while on this VLCD.


Do you think you should be able to eat anything you want, as long as it's below 500 calories? Tell me in a comment below.

Cheese On The HCG Diet - Is It Allowed?

Is cheese one of the items on the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Menu? Anyone who has read the HCG Diet Protocol knows that there are a lot of different rules to follow. On top of it all, you have to remember which foods you can and cannot eat. However, what people usually remember more than anything is that list of foods you can have is much smaller than the foods that you can't. Still, it can be quite a task to memorize that list in such a short period of time. I guess this is why people always ask my wife and I which foods are allowed during Phase 2 of the HCG Weight Loss Diet - One of the more common foods we are asked about is cheese.

And this brings us to the question we are here to answer... Can You Have Cheese On The HCG 500 Calorie Diet? I think deep down inside most of you already knew that the answer ...

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...
