Good morning all! I am looking for some suggestions, recipes, and some support for the HCG diet I am on. I am doing the HCG Platinum diet from GNC. I am in Phase1 D12 R1. I have been sticking to the 500 calorie diet but am running out of ideas on what to eat and what I can eat. Can I chew gum? Can I use Truvia? Can I have wheat noodles? lol I did read the protocol but it does just give you example meals but I was just wondering if anyone on hear might want to share their good ideas! Thank you

Hi I'm day 5 of phase 1, doing my 2nd round. I would not eat noodles or any other wheat during the program except for two pieces of the allowed Melba Toast. I got mine from the health food store so they are small little rounds. Most days, I don't even eat that as I find it's very quick to hit my 500 calorie mark.
One meal I make that is truly satisfying is scrambled eggs whites. I get the Kirkland brand and use 1 1/4 cups so it's a ton. I don't use any oils, just a non-stick pan but since it is the whites, they do still stick. I tried making this an omelet but it turned out to be more scrambled than anything. In another pan I stir fry mushrooms, red pepper and onion until tender in about 2 T of reduced sodium soy sauce. Then I set aside and cook the eggs. I will also add either a dill mixture that has garlic and other spices to the eggs to give more flavor. Then I cook the eggs and then add the veggies. It's yummy! To change it up, I add a cajun season blend to the eggs for a spicy flavor. It's almost too much food by the time I'm done but around 220 calories. I also cut up 5 oz of chicken into tender size pieces and then add reduced sodium soy sauce and dehydrated garlic and let soak in a baggie for minimum of 30 minutes, then I cook it up and serve it with steamed broccoli or whatever vegetable I might want that day. Mushrooms are good with this too. I steam a lot of my foods, especially vegetables and fish. When I steam fish I use lemon juice and whatever spices, like the dill and cajun, and wrap it up in foil and bake for 15 minutes at 420. I get used to eating the same thing every day. I just had a hard time with week three. This time I plan on having better planned meals to look forward to get through the tough days. Hope this helped!0 -
