The Vegetarian HCG Diet

Is It Possible For Vegetarians To Lose Weight With The HCG Diet?
 
It's no secret that protein is a key component of the HCG 500 Calorie Diet Protocol. But for vegetarians eating meat is just not an option. So I guess that means that vegetarians are out of luck when it comes to this diet, right?

Wrong -

Although it's not as easy for them, it is possible for vegetarians to use the HCG Diet. Actually, I was reading Dr. Simeons Pounds And Inches the other day, and I came across this little snippet on the topic.

This is what Dr. Simeons says about vegetarians on the HCG Diet...

Strict vegetarians such as orthodox Hindus present a special problem, because milk and curds are the only animal protein they will eat. To supply them with sufficient protein of animal origin they must drink 500 cc. of skimmed milk per day, though part of this ration can be taken as curds. As far as fruit, vegetables and starch are concerned, their diet is the same as that of non- vegetarians; they cannot be allowed their usual intake of vegetable proteins from leguminous plants such as beans or from wheat or nuts, nor can they have their customary rice. In spite of these severe restrictions, their average loss is about half that of non vegetarians, presumably owing to the sugar content of the milk.

Now even though I have read the HCG Protocol before, I wasn't 100% clear on this topic. So after I re-discovered this information, I decided to do a little more research online and I found a bunch of other good stuff as well.

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. Now I love cheese probably more than the average person, so I can definitely understand why people are hoping and praying that it's listed on the HCG Diet Menu.

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