hCG Diet Tips & Tricks

Having a binge eating feast or cheating on your hCG injections diet protocol is like restarting, but sometimes we just want something to satisfy a craving or something different. To avoid breaking your hCG injections diet plan and abate those cravings or to just break up the strictness of the diet, occasionally you can have the following:

Tips to avoid a cheat

• Sugar Free jello


• Diet soda (go easy)


• Popsicle with 0 fat, sugar and calories


• L-Glutamine for cravings


• Drink water.


• Ice chips (the best ice is SONIC ice!!)


• Adding fiber with Miracle Noodles.

Tricks to stay on hCG diet plan

• Keep your hcg diet food on hand at all times.


• Make food a few days out to avoid waiting till you are at hunger to decide to cook.


• Eat your food slowly.


• Use a small salad plate vs. a huge dinner plate. This creates a visual and psychological effect.

Tips for a stall

If you find you are having a hCG diet stall (a stall is not losing for several days (4 or more pounds in a row) and need to get moving to stay motivated try the following;


• Switch up what you are eating, if you find you are only eating steak, try chicken, if you are only eating chicken, try fish.
• Add additional water to your current intake.


• Try Corn Silk tea, Parsley tea, or Alpha tea. These are natural diuretics that may help you release additional water. 

• Cut the breadsticks or melba toast.


• No eating out for awhile.


• Cut diet drinks.


• Check your hCG diet protocol rules and make sure you are eating as prescribed (mixing veggies, 100 grams of food, etc.)

• Mix your fruit up and don’t have the same 2 fruits on the same day.


• Avoid beef for a few days.


• Cut out diet cheats or treats.


• As a last resort if all else fails, eat 6 apples for 1 day, plus enough water to satisfy thirst


• Try one of these hCG diet stall breaker meals, Apple Day or Steak Day.

Tips for eating out while in hCG diet protocol

If you have to eat out, grilled chicken salad works best, but needless to say, skip the dressing, cheese and croutons. You may probably be served more than 100 grams as you won’t be able to weight it, but it’s still the best choice. Some fast food places offer fruit or other healthier choices. As long as the fruit doesn’t have preservatives or additives they would be fine to eat.

hCG Food Shopping List

Depending on which hCG diet protocol you follow your list may vary, this is a general hcg diet food list. Check your hCG diet food list to ensure what you can or can’t have.

Eating organic is the best way to do the hCG diet protocol, however, it may be cost prohibitive. Dr. Simeons developed the hCG injections diet and wrote Pounds and Inches during a time when hormones and pesticides were not widely used.
