When it comes to the homeopathic HCG diet there are several vital aspects that combine to provide the amazing average weight loss results (1 to 2 pounds per day) that continues to draw more and more dieters to the strict program.
1. Cutting the calories back drastically. The homeopathic HCG diet requires dieters to stick to a 500 calorie per day diet.
2. The weight loss formula. It’s called the homeopathic HCG diet because it requires the three times daily intake of the homeopathic HCG weight loss formula.
3. Adherence to the strict (and short) list of approved foods
While the diet may at first appear simple enough to make sticking to it easy it is very helpful to take advantage of any and all tools available. One tool that is very handy is the HCG approved grocery list.
HCG Diet Direct urges dieters to take this shopping lists along to their local grocery store:
Spinach, cherry/Roma tomatoes, Melba Toast (try garlic or wheat), salsa (no sugar variety), sea salt, Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning, fresh chicken (try breasts or tenders), lemons, oranges, strawberries, iceberg or romaine lettuce, red grapefruit, apples, cucumbers, celery, asparagus, sweet onions and green onions, Jennie O Turkey burgers, shrimp, lobster, crab, lean steak, tilapia, lean roast, 93% lean turkey, beef and chicken.
Dieters that begin with the list (and the other suggested shopping lists) in hand have a much easier time sticking to the protocol set down for the diet. The correct foods “on hand” make coming up with healthy, HCG approved meals easy. It’s especially easy if dieters take advantage of another one of the popular dieting tools offered by HCG Diet Direct, the eCookbook.
The shopping list makes it very clear what dieters need to get in order to have the foods they need to succeed. They’ll have raw foods to have as snacks while on the diet. And they’ll have the ingredients for a wide variety of HCG approved recipes from the cookbook. Both are absolutely necessary to succeed on the diet. And succeeding on the diet means losing a substantial amount of weight! And that’s the entire point, isn’t it?
