The very low calorie diet that goes along with taking HCG may seem very restrictive, and it’s true that you’re limited to 500 calories a day. But you can still eat many of today’s most popular foods in moderation. The following insights are just a small example of the advice being offered by the experts at the Fort Myers weight loss clinic.

The day begins with only coffee or tea, but you can have as much as you like as long as you don’t add sugar. Only one tablespoon of milk is allowed each day, but saccharin and Stevia can be used if you like.

Then, your lunch and dinner is much more satisfying. You’re allowed a full 100 grams of lean meat like chicken breast, beef or fresh white fish. Just remove visible fat, boil or grill without oil. How much is a 100 grams? That’s about a half cup of ground beef or roughly 3.5 ounces.

Along with your meat at lunch or dinner, enjoy a single vegetable like spinach, beet greens, tomatoes, celery, radishes, cucumbers, asparagus or cabbage, plus a Melba toast or similar bread or cracker and some fruit for dessert. That could be an orange or apple or a handful of strawberries.

What about condiments or additions? There are limitations, but not as many as some people think. You can have lemon juice — up to a full lemon’s worth each day — plus pepper, salt, vinegars, garlic, basil and other herbs and even mustard powder. Just stay away from oils and butters.

Throughout the day, there’s no limit on the amount of water you can drink or the amount of additional tea or coffee you can consume either.

The general idea is to avoid fat at all costs, including fats in cosmetics like makeup and hair preparations.

Once you get used to these restrictions, you may continue some of them for the rest of your life. You’ll see that an HCG diet makes you feel good and allows you to function much better at your daily life than when you’re overeating and feeling heavy, bloated and sluggish.
