HCG Diet Menu for 1st Three Weeks of Maintenance
If you are looking at this menu, you’re preparing or have reached the maintenance phase of the HCG Diet Protocol. That means you’ve completed the low-calorie phase and achieved fast, substantial weight loss! Although the low-calorie phase isn’t easy, it is simple as far as meal planning. You get 2 meals a day and for those meals, you select from a list of allowable proteins, vegetables and fruits.
Upon reaching Phase 3 (maintenance), you are no longer limited to the “allowable lists” of food. There are many more options; take a look at the hcg maintenance menu below to get some ideas. The restrictions during the 1st three weeks of maintenance are NO SUGARS and NO STARCHES. Of course, you can have fruit, which has natural sugar, but be careful with very sweet fruit like pineapple, watermelon and bananas. You’ll also want to avoid the starchy vegetables like corn and potatoes.
Focus on ingraining good habits like eating whole, natural foods, avoiding processed foods and weighing every morning to keep your new, LOWER weight in check!
