Recommendations Of A Diet With HCG Allowed Food

By Elizabeth Kelly


Recommendations of what to place in a diet change over time, but the HCG allowed food has been in existence for over forty years. This form of diet is greatly advocated for because of its ability to fasten the rate of weight loss. However, a doctor supervision is required along with the diet plan due to its low content on calories.

During pregnancy, a womans body produces the hormone and therefore the same is sometimes prescribed for women with a difficulty of conceiving. In another area, it is also used by individuals with the need to lose weight by reducing their appetite and getting rid of excessive fat in the body. The hormone can be placed in a humans body through intake of pills or injections or foods which need to contain a minimum of five hundred calories.

Lean proteins are the first forms of foods that provide the HCG hormone naturally and contains the highest calories in the diet. Examples of such lean proteins are; poultry, white meat and lean red meat. Seven ounces in size is the daily standard recommended consumption for one person. Some proteins contain fats, therefore it is advisable to remove any visible ones before preparing a meal.

The second form of foods recommended for anyone wanting to lose weight is vegetables with low calories, fruits and carbohydrates which is to be taken in over lunch or dinner. These vegetables include, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, spinach and onions. As much as the quantities in that diet may be very minimal, these type of food add a great content of fiber and nutrients to that diet.

Thirdly, since butter or oil cannot be added to the diet list, it can be supplemented by some food flavorings and drinks. These flavorings may include additives such as mustard powder, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. The drinks accepted are limited to only water, tea or coffee where only a tablespoon of milk is allowed daily. In addition, the beverages need to be sugar free.

An individual is advised not to consume solid meals any time before lunch. It is advisable to take either tea or coffee that does not violate the set standards for breakfast. On the other hand, he/ she is required to have three and a half ounces of proteins like grilled chicken breasts along with vegetables such as spinach. The same is required over dinner, with varying kinds but of a similar size of three and a half ounces.

However some concerns have been raised regarding this diet since there is no evidence to support its effectiveness in weight loss. This is backed up by the fact that it is hard to fully consume all the nutrients needed in the body daily. More so, having a low calorie diet intake every day means low energy levels.

Some of the side effects to look out for when taking up this diet plan include ovarian cysts in women, breast enlargement in men and headaches. Anyone who is prone to heart or kidney diseases should not take the hormone. Due to these severe side effects likely to be experienced, a close supervision by a doctor is highly recommended during the dieting process.
