To Get An HCG Diet Calorie Breakdown Of All The Foods On The HCG Diet Plan, Check Out The Chart Below.

Food Scale, Weighing Food
The original HCG 500 Calorie Diet is no doubt very specific. It consists of lunch and dinner, but no breakfast. You are allowed to have each of the following categories per meal...
  • 100 Grams of Protein
  • 100 Grams of Vegetables
  • 1 Grissini Breadstick or Melba Toast
  • 1 Fruit
In addition, Dr. Simeons HCG Weight Loss Protocol instructs you to drink 1/2 to 1 whole gallon of water per day.

You can also drink as much coffee and tea that you want - But you can only have 1 tablespoonful of milk in a 24 hour period.

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.

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.

Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...
