HCG Phase 3 Foods

Here's a List of Phase 3 Foods To Help Guide You Through The Maintenance Part of The HCG Diet.

Phase 3 Food List | Food GroupsI have said it before and I will say it again, HCG Phase 3 Stabilization and Maintenance is just as important if not more so than the weight loss phase of the HCG Diet Plan. Because if you can't keep the weight from coming back, then what good was losing it in the first place.

Of course with this new phase you have a new set of rules, as well as a new and longer food list. And although you will have a many more food options for this phase, it seems to be much harder for people to regulate what and how often they eat without the proper guidance.

For the most part you will have to decide which foods are okay and which are not; unlike the 500 Calorie Diet that tells you specifically which foods are allowed and exactlyhow much you can have, right down to the gram.

So Which Phase 3 Foods are listed in the HCG Protocol?


Well, that's kind of the problem; the Original HCG Diet Protocol doesn't really say which foods you can and can't eat. In fact, it really only gives you a few very vague guidelines.

Basically this is the information you are given...
 
Weeks 1 through 3 of the Stabilization and Maintenance Phase:


  • No Sugars.
  • No Starches.
  • Eat only when you are hungry.
  • No need to count calories.

Weeks 3 through 6 of Phase 3:


  • Slowly introduce sugars and starches into your diet.
  • Use proper portion control.
  • Don't go back for seconds.
  • Eat whatever you want, whenever you get hungry.

For some people, with a few exceptions, the second half of the Maintenance phase might seem like a free for all, but it's not. To help you out I have put together an HCG Phase 3 Food List as well as a few other simple tips to follow.


Here's A Few Simple HCG Maintenance Tips For Success:


  • Eat somewhere close to 1500 calories per day for the first 3 weeks.
  • Avoid eating out at restaurants (Especially Fast Food).
  • Eat real fruits and vegetables.
  • Eat organic foods when possible
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Start doing Yoga or some other form of exercise. If you were already doing these things during Phase 2, simply increase your workout regimen.

HCG Phase 3 Foods:


Protein

  • Beef
  • Chicken
  • Turkey

  • Veal
  • Venison

  • Honeydew
  • Raspberries
  • Strawberries
  • Watermelon

Dairy Products

  • Cheese
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Yogurt

You can also add nuts and grains to your diet as well.


Keep in mind that the items listed above are not the only foods that you are allowed to have. But this should give you a good idea of what you should be eating. If you ask me, the list above is a dream come true compared to the HCG Phase 2 Food List.


Remember though, you are coming off of a very restricted weight loss diet plan, so you will want to take it easy at first. This means adding foods into your diet and then watching how your body responds to it; especially the dairy.


Also, you should stay away from artificial sweeteners at all costs, aside from Stevia and Truvia ... Yes that means no Diet Soda.


Now, if you do find that you have gained 2 pounds over your Phase 2 ending weight, don't worry, it's totally normal to fluctuate. Simply do an HCG Steak Day and you should be fine.

Honestly, there are many different reasons people put half of their weight back on during the Maintenance Phase. But if you are just willing to do what it takes and pay attention to what you put in your body, you won't be one of those people.


Which foods would you add to the Phase 3 Food List above?

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
