  Stacey  I don't think hot chocolate is allowed until at least after the 500 calorie days. I don't think you can have it til the second section of maintenance. The only things you can drink on the 500 calorie is water , coffee or tea. Where did you see you could have the cocoa?

  Spring  The recipe book"101 worry free HCG diet recipes" has lots of good drink & food recipes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the vinagrette (sp?) recipe. And who knew I could eat an entire onion and LOVE it? Book suggested sea salt & cooking the onion with your meat...DELICIOUS! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE my george foreman grill! (found it is easiest to clean when hot & using a paper towel to just wipe it off).

Diet Soda

• DIYHCG.com

  Correct- The artificial sweeteners found in diet sodas are not allowed on P2. There are two types of sweeteners allowed on the HCG diet: stevia and saccharin. 
  
  Dr. Simeons (the physician who created the diet), formulated the diet as not only a weight loss method, but also as a sort of cleanse. In fact, in order to get the most benefit for your metabolism on the DIY HCG diet, you must stick EXACTLY to the approved foods. Otherwise, the chemicals in non HCG diet-approved foods could affect your metabolism as you try to reset your new lower weight and make it harder for you to maintain your weight loss. So it could affect your current weight loss and your ability to keep it off later. That said, we do not recommend it.

  My doctor said that even the ones sweetened with stevia (like Zevia) should be avoided due to the carbonic acid that forms the carbonation. She said it is better to avoid all carbonation in order to maintain a more alkaline pH for the optimal loss.

Spring 

Day 2....I am so sick of junk food...I think thats one reason why you do it, so you have no desire whatsover to look at any junk food for months afterwards. I don't think we're going to be able to eat all of the "crap" we bought. Though Ethan & Grayson are participating on the 1st 2 days of the diet & will be the junk food clean up crew when Jasmyn & I start the 500 calories tomorrow! (Jasmyn is passed out in a sugar coma downstairs right now :)

Spring 

Last night I did a test - I put 10 drops of hcg into a TB syringe and the amount only came up to .3 instead of the .5 that Dr. S recommends in his book. It took 18 drops to get to the .5. I also re-read the dosing section and its said most people feel good with .5cc, but some people have to do .6,.7 or .8. Just thought I would share that with you.

  Has anyone used Melaleuca products while on HCG? Toothpaste? Zap-it face wash? Body Satin Deodorant? Shampoo? Conditioner? Lip Balm? Renew lotion?

  Hey spring. I too love Melaleuca products. While on Phase 2 I have decided to use only their toothpaste. Because they all have tea tree oil, and from what I have researched, it is not compatible with phase 2. If I am wrong, please let me know!

Spring's Comment: I at first ordered only the Clear Stevia & the Lemon Drop but after using them in recipes from the recipe book, I decided to get a few more flavors. My little boys favorite is the Strawberry Lemonade and Orange Julius (1 orange, ice, Orange Valencia 5drops, Vanilla Creme 5 drops). They are yummy!


This is the cheapest site that I have been able to find (be careful some manufacturers put sugar in their stevia). Stevia in the stores runs over $12 each. Also, in very fine print on the bottle - which I missed for the first week it says to keep refrigerated to keep them fresher longer.
