Hello, my name is Annette, I just starting the hcg diet plan but have some question on what to eat and what not to eat. There are so many different sites and everyone is different about you should eat and what you can’t eat. Just like today I ate a salad with tuna and come to find out i shouldn’t have tuna so now what do. Do, I just keep going are just start over. Please help

Hi Annette. Wherever you got your HCG is where you need to get specific help on the diet. Get the original Dr. Simeons guide from them and read it. Just keep going, no need to start over. But do get the correct food list as it’s extremely important.

I am on the last phase and have gained 3-4 lbs since my phase. Is it too late to do the steak thing? Do I continue with the steak diet until I am back to the orginal weight I was at? Or any suggestions. I am 8 days past my last day of drops.

Reply

Stephanie

No, you only do 1 steak day to correct the gain. You need to quickly figure out why you gained. If you do maintenance correctly you won’t gain. Take maintenance seriously, it’s just as important as the other phases.

What do you have to differently with the diet during the 4-5 days you have your period?

Reply

Stephanie

If you are on injections you might have to pause them, not sure. But on the drops you don’t do anything differently.

I have been on the HCG LCD for 18 days and have lost 20lbs, I was wondering do the 26 days include the loading days, or do the 26 days start with the first day of HCG on the LCD? Thanks

Reply

Stephanie

You do 23 days on HCG, and those 2 loading days are counted in the 23 days, and then you do 3 days of the low calorie diet without HCG. You can go longer, as you can go 40 days, but just make sure not to go past 40 days.

Where can I buy the drops from in the uk – there is so many to chose from on the Internet and I really don’t know which brand to trust. Is there a clinic I can visit? I am based in central London…thanks K x

Go to the homepage of this site and use who I recommend. They ship all over the world and it’s who I use and trust. Good luck!

I am curious as to why the chicken can not be baked, only boiled (not terribly appealing), or grilled? Thank you.

Reply

Stephanie

Who said it couldn’t? Of course you can bake or grill it. As long as you measure it correctly you can do whatever you want with it.

Hi there. I am in day 3 of the diet. I need to know what to eat and what not to eat. Do you know of any good sites with the lists? thanks

Reply

Stephanie

Your provider should give you all that info. If they didn’t give it to you then you probably got ripped off and don’t even have a good product to begin with. Contact your provider and get what you need. If they can’t help you then return it and use a good provider who actually knows what they are doing.

My provider did give me what to eat, and they say i can have my protein shake as long has it within calories and not over.

Reply

Stephanie

Well to be perfectly honest that provider is an idiot and you shouldn’t listen to them. It’s not about calories at all, you don’t count calories and if you do you will fail. Just follow the diet as directed by Dr. Simeons. Don’t pay attention to calories and don’t eat anything not on the list.

Question; do you load the first day you begin your drops? Meaning, after you take your drops in the morning do you eat whatever you like the first 2 days?

Reply

Stephanie

Yes. Load the first 2 days. Do you not have instructions? I don’t know who you used but you should have at least the basic info from your provider.

On the main page of this site I leave a link where I got mine. So check that out and you’ll see who I use.

Where can i purchase the hcg and what is the average pace of weight loss?

Reply

Stephanie

Go to the main page of this site and I have my recommendation there. And it depends on how much you have to lose and if you are male or female. .75-2 pounds per day is the range. You’ll have better days than others but just make sure to look at the average amount of weight loss.

I just started my hcg diet today is day 3 and I was wondering if there is any other vegetables I can eat because I don’t like any that are on the list…

Reply

Stephanie

Yes and no. Talk with your coach and they’ll be able to help you with that.

So I wanted to find out the company that you use. I clicked on the link you provided but it says they are sold out and waiting on more. Any other recommendations?

Reply

Stephanie

Yeah, they sell out often. I’d suggest getting on their list. They should have more shortly.

My first round of HCG was a 40 day round, and I waited 6 weeks and started round 2, also a 40 day round. Round 3 was only 28 days.

I have been planning my entire life around starting another round, and just realized that it’s been only 10 weeks instead of the recommended 12 weeks. Yikes! Will I be OK, since round 3 was a short round or will I need to tough it out for another 2 weeks?

Reply

Stephanie

12 weeks? 3 weeks is the longest you need to wait. Some say 6, but that’s the absolute maximum you need. 3 weeks of maintenance and you are good to go. So you can start now.

I am living in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Can I buy this program in the UAE. If so, where?

Reply

Stephanie

The people I order from do ship there. So just use them.

What if I reach my goal weight before the 23 days of phase 2 are over? Can I stop the drops early and begin the maintenance phase?

Reply

Stephanie

Sure. As soon as you reach your goal, do 3 more days of the diet without any supplement, then do the maintenance phase.

Is the 100 grams of meat cooked or raw?

Reply

Stephanie

Raw. Measure everything raw.

Wendi

Can you exercise on this diet or does that come after the maintenance phase?

Reply

Stephanie

It’s best to wait, but you can do some. It’s better to wait until the maintenance phase.

i got hcg nasal spray from my doctor for 21 days then she wants me to wait 2 weeks before starting another round. what do i do the 2 weeks i am not on hcg? how do i eat ? do i have to continue eating 500 cals a day? or can i be normal for those two weeks while i am waiting to go to another round? i have 80 pounds to loose.

Reply

Stephanie

2 weeks? 3 weeks is the maintenance phase. Did your doctor not tell you about that? If not, find another person to help you on the diet because your doctor sure doesn’t know what they’re doing. And the diet is NOT 500 calories. Do NOT count calories on this plan. Eat the right food from the list in the right amounts.

Hey, I was wondering where the best place to buy the HCG drops would be…but cheap ones?? Everywhere I check they are in the hundreds…but then I’ve also found cheaper ones, I just don’t know how safe they are. Do you know any websites I could buy them safely and cheap?? Thanks.

Reply

Stephanie

You get what you pay for. You get a cheap product you’ll just get bad results and end up wasting your money. So really, cheap is more expensive in the long run. I don’t use drops, I use an easier and better method. Check the front page of the site to see who I use.

I started the HCG and was doing well for about 5 days the went on vacation. I initially lost 4lbs the first 4 days then relapsed and ate normal foods the following 3 days. Do I continue to keep taking the drops like I didn’t relapse? Do I wait???

Reply

Stephanie

Wait till you’re home, then restart. Vacationing is usually too hard to prepare for this diet plan. Eat maintenance foods for now, then go back and start over.

Stephanie,
I love your website.. very informative. I started HCG injections last week. Lost my appetite immediately, and did not load on first two days, and could hardly eat. I KNOW I lost inches, but I went today to weight and I had only lost 1/2 a lb. But I lost 1lb of muscle, and a lot of water mass (or something I can’t remember and the print out didn’t work). ANYWAY, I’m going to be completely strict this week. Sorry to ramble so much. I don’t think I at enough food, and didn’t drink enough water. My question is, can you eat pickles?

Reply

Stephanie

HI Brooke. Please, get a coach fast. I can tell you don’t have the right instructions. Work with someone who knows what they are doing. The diet is easy, but very specific and you will have lots of questions. You will do a million times better if you work with a good company that has coaching.

Hi, Stephanie

I am reseraching the hcg diet now and looking for the best doctor in my area, however I have a question about cooking the meats. Can I use spray Pam to prevent the fish/meat from sticking to the pan? Or what other oil may be used to cook with? Thanks!

Reply

Stephanie

Use a small amount of water. If you need more, just add a little bit more. You don’t need oil to cook at all as long as you have a decent pan.
