Tips on eating out while on the HCG Diet

For all you folks on the HCG Diet that are wondering how you eat out while on the HCG Diet Protocol we will discuss a few tips.  This write-up will discuss  restaurant dining on phase 2 and phase 3 of the HCG Diet Protocol using the HCG Drops.    The great news is… it can be carried out.    Phase 2 is a bit more difficult however so I’m offering a few suggestions here to assist you to avoid the pitfalls and enjoy the experience. Phase 2:  Have a salad with grilled chicken breast, steak, etc.  I use salsa as dressing it gives it a Tex-Mex flavor.  Keep it straightforward, avoid combining veggies (spinach salad, mixed greens, or tomatoes) Ask for you chicken on steak to be grilled ordinary.  Avoid marinades, sauces, etc.  Top with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Take with you packets of stevia with you and enjoy a cool iced tea with lemon or  hot coffee or tea with your food (1 TBS of milk is allowed). Order a sparkling mineral water (add flavored liquid stevia if you like to make a soda). Choose organic or natural eating places if possible.  You less likely to get processed meats or vegetables. Phase 3: Stay away from most sauces and gravies.  Quite a few eating places have sugary sweet sauces and thickeners that can mess up your diet plan if you’re not careful. Exercise caution with Salad dressings and condiments.  Inspect the contents disclosure if feasible or stick with a simple vinegar (avoid Balsamic vinegar due to the sugar content) and oil dressing. Steer clear of the bread, potatoes, or starchy sides and order extra vegetables as an alternative.  Feel free to top the veggies with butter, spices, salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Any proteins and most fats and oils are appropriate.  Again, look out for sugary marinades and order your steak or chicken as all-natural as feasible. Ask For fresh fruit for desert. The  very best advice I can give while dining out is to stick to the basics and when in doubt… don’t order it.  Shift your focus from the food to socializing and having fun with your family and friends.  As you journey through this diet regimen and on to the remainder of your life you will find yourself modifying inside and out.  A new and healthier lifestyle is waiting!
