HCG Phase 3 Foods

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

I 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.

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.
