Some tips for Eating out while on HCG Diet Protocol


For all you folks on the HCG Diet that ispondering how you dine out while on the HCG Diet Protocol we will talk about a few tips.  This guide will examine  restaurant dining on phase 2 and phase 3 of the HCG Diet Protocol using the HCG Drops.    The great news is… it can be done.    Phase 2 is a bit more challenging however so I’m offering a few tips here to assist you to stay away from the pitfalls and appreciate 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 simple, 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.
Carry individual 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 restaurants if possible.  You less likely to get processed meats or vegetables.
Phase 3: Avoid most sauces and gravies.  Quite a few restaurants have sugary sweet sauces and thickeners that can mess up your diet regimen if you’re not mindful.
Exercise caution with Salad dressings and condiments.  Examine the labels if possible 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 side dishes and order extra vegetables instead.  Feel free to top the veggies with butter, spices, salt and pepper, and lemon juice.
Any proteins and many fats and oils are acceptable.  Again, look out for sugary marinades and order your steak or chicken as pure as feasible.
Ask For fresh fruit for desert.
The  greatest advice I can give while eating out is to stick to the basics and when in question… don’t purchase it.  Shift your focus from the food to socializing and having fun with your family and friends.  As you journey through this diet and on to the rest of your existence you will discover yourself altering inside and out.  A new and more healthy lifestyle awaits!
