Hcg Diet | Hcg Diet Recipes That Get Results
One of my favorite things about the HCG diet experience is learning to appreciate good healthy foods and part of that is finding just the right recipes that work and are clear in their direction. After all, we need as much direction as we can get when on this diet especially when that direction is given by people who have made this work.
One of my favorite things to eat is soup regardless of the HCG diet or not. I love all kinds of it and could eat it at every meal. When I first got on the HCG diet I quickly wanted to learn if there were any soups out there I could eat and found that there were a few of them and I was scared to try them. I wasn’t thinking very positively during this time but I thought I would go ahead and give them a try and I was glad I did.
I’m including 2 HCG recipes that can be found on our website but they deserve attention in an article:
French Onion Soup
Ingredients
1 Vidalia onion
1 cup beef broth
1tsp. garlic powder
1tsp. onion salt
1tsp. pepper
2 Melba toast
Directions
Slice onion with an apple slicer to make wedges and to open up the onion. Season the onion and place it on top of a foil sheet. Add 1⁄4 cup beef broth, and wrap it up tightly. Place in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Make sure the onion is not too soft; you want it a little firm. Serve in a bowl with 2 cups of beef broth and 2 Melba toast. *Makes 1 vegetable serving*
The reason I love this so much is because it has lots of flavor. I love onions and I love garlic and this provided a ton of flavor for me that satisfied my taste and hunger levels while acting as a vegetable serving.
Green Onion Soup
Ingredients
10 green onions
2 cups vegetable broth
1-2 tsp. liquid aminos
1 tsp. parsley
4 drops or 1 packet Stevia
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/8 tsp. cayenne or red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp. celery seed
Directions
Briefly steam the green onions until tender. Preheat saucepan over MED heat. Chop steamed green onions. In a saucepan, saut? the green onions in a small amount of vegetable broth for a couple of minutes. Add the parsley, Stevia, paprika, salt, dill, thyme, celery seed, and cayenne. Saut? 1-2 minutes more. Add remaining vegetable broth, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20-30 minutes. Makes a great side dish on the hCG Diet. *Makes 2 vegetable servings*
The Green Onion Soup from the HCG diet recipes is another great great soup with a lot of flavor to it. I love strong flavors while on the hCG diet because you hear a lot of things about the 500 calorie a day protocol, but this wasn’t a soup that felt like I was struggling to get through. I was very impressed. Don’t be afraid to try out HCG diet recipes and find which ones you like and which one you don’t. Experiment with what works for your body and then go with it. The experience of being on the hCG diet should be about learning and improving your habits and finding the right recipes goes along with that.

HCG is an acronym for the hormone Human Chorio Gonadotropin, which is
found in both men and women, though pregnant women have the highest
levels of HCG in their bodies.
The HCG hormone can be made synthetically or extracted from a
pregnant woman's urine and then processed for use by other humans.
Advocates of the HCG diet believe that, by strict dieting
and taking daily injections of HCG, people can successfully lose
weight. They say that dieters following the HCG
diet should expect to lose somewhere between a half pound and 3 pounds
(.23 to 1.36 kilograms) each day on the low-calorie, high-fiber plan.
You consume a mere 500 calories a day on this diet.
They say that that combining the
low-calorie diet with the HCG hormone injections will lead to
immediate weight loss without the common side effects of many
diets, such as hunger pains, headaches and nausea. They
believe that because the HCG injections burn fat, the hormone provides
the body with necessary energy while reducing hunger and keeping the
body out of starvation mode.
Anybody eating that little is bound to lose weight, of course, and
many people found out that injection did not make it easier to bear
hunger.
And the drug lacks substantial research, so exposing your body to such
a restrictive diet may not be in your best interests.
The original HCG diet plan is quite restrictive and particular. For
breakfast, you can have only tea or coffee without sugar. The diet
puts a one-tablespoon limit on how much milk you can consume each day,
so if you require milk with your coffee and tea, you'll want to keep
this in mind. For lunch and dinner, you can cook 100 grams (.22
pounds) of lean meat or seafood and pair it with one vegetable from
this list of 13: asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, celery, chard,
chicory, cucumbers, fennel, green salad, onions, red radishes, spinach
and tomatoes. For lunch and dinner, you can eat one toast cracker and
an orange, apple, half a grapefruit or strawberries.
Administration of the hormone is usually through two methods — either an oral
supplement or a liquid injection.
The FDA has approved HCG injections for use in fertility issues, but not in dieting.
There are a few dangers that come with injecting HCG into your body.
As with any injected medication, the potential for blood clots exists. Some women
who have injected HCG have experienced a serious condition called
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be deadly.
Other less serious side effects might be headaches and
depression. Young boys taking HCG might experience premature puberty.
Pregnant or nursing women could cause harm to their
babies if the hormone is passed on.
And although advocates claim that HCG keeps the body functioning
properly, a diet of 500 calories is below any healthy amount
recommended by most doctors. Weight loss is almost guaranteed when
you're eating so much less than the recommended daily allowance, but
you may risk your health. And although the HCG is supposed to help
with side effects, in one study the HCG injections showed no different
feelings or results than a placebo injection.
