The Food List

The hCG Diet Food List is an essential part of the support needed to be successful. If you don't know what to buy and how many calories are in the food you are eating you will most certainly fail.

Everyone asks,"What do I eat on the hCG Diet?"

Well here it is everyone. I have put together a list of hCG Diet Approved foods and how many calories there are in each food. This along with the hCG Diet Recipes should get you along pretty well.

For another helpful tool that people use  My Fitness Pal.

The website offers a free calorie counter. For foods you aren't 100% sure of, just plug it in there to find out.  They also have an application for our phone.  In this way we are able to plan out whole meals to keep track of our  daily caloric intake.

Spices and Seasonings

You can use just about any spice. Stay away from seasonings that have the dreaded MSG. Also stay away from seasonings that have fillers such as sugar or starch, etc.

Here are some of the seasonings I regularly used while preparing my meals.

• Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Orgegano
• Thyme
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Paprika
• Basil

Condiments

The condiments you can use are few. Mainly because the majority have fat or sugar in them. If you can find a good condiment that doesn't have this then great.

Condiments I used:

• organic dijon mustard
• Organic Apple Cider Vinegar(goes great on salad)
• Tabasco/Hot Sauce
