What Happens If You Cheat On A Phase 3 Steak Day? The Maintenance Phase of the HCG Diet Plan is designed to help you Stabilize and Maintain your new weight. In a nut shell, the Maintenance Phase, or Phase 3 as it's also referred to, goes as follows: For the first 3 weeks of Phase 3, you will increase your caloric intake to approximately 1500 Calories per day. At the same time, you don't want to constantly stress yourself out about going over the 1500 Calorie mark; if you do happen to go over or fall under that amount you should be fine. In addition, for the first 21 days while stabilizing, you should stay away from foods with sugars, like honey and high fructose corn syrups, and starches like bread pasta and potatoes. After those initial 3 weeks you can then start to slowly add in the sugars and starches.

What Do You Think Is The Most Important Part Of The HCG Diet? I think it's safe to assume, that the majority of people out there feel that the most important part of the HCG Diet is weight loss. And while it is a big part of the diet, I wouldn't say it's the most important. Because if you can't fix the problem, you won't be able to keep the weight off.
