HCG Diet Phase 3 Sample Menu Ideas
HCG Diet Phase 3 Foods: broccoli, red bell pepper, onions, chicken, zucchini, paneer cheese
One question that many hCG dieters ask me pretty regularly is, “Can you give me a sample daily menu for Phase 3?” Phase 3 is a very very important part of the hCG diet and some people may not realize that it is actually equally as important as Phase 2. Why, you may ask? Phase 3 is really where your new weight and kicked up metabolism gets “Set” You are now training your body on Phase 3 to accept a certain number of calories from that time on. The amount of calories you ultimately will be able to eat will of course depend on your height, weight, and activity level and some people will be able to eat more than others without gaining. You can expect some pretty wild swings during those three weeks on Phase 3 but don’t get discouraged. Once you have achieved Phase 3 stabilization, you will be able to transition comfortably into Phase 3 and maintenance.
One more thing as you dive into these Phase 3 Sample menu’s is to remember that its the quality and kinds of foods you eat on Phase 3 that will help you stabilize more than counting calories. Don’t get caught up on calories but rather focus on eating plenty of protein and fresh vegetables at every meal. Here are some simple Phase 3 Sample menus and meal plans to help you get started!
