Eating Out On The hCG Diet - A 6 Action Manual680490

Eating out on the hCG diet can be a frightful experience. Frequently, when eating out, we are ill prepared for the dining occasion and results in failure to stick with the protocol. I would love to tell you NOT to venture out to eat and to cook all of your meals. This is certainly the best strategy but it does not always work out like that.

Due to "Life", it is difficult to avoid eating out while on the hCG Diet so here are some guidelines to help you avoid cheating and to stick with it. Sticking with it is so essential. Losing days of weight loss is both irritating and de-motivating. Trust me I know!

Plan in advance - Having an idea of what type of food the restaurant serves will let you know if you should actually dine there. Preview the menu and choose the dinner you are going to order BEFORE you get there. This will help with the enticement of ordering something that is way off the diet.

Carry an Apple - What ever you choose while eating out on the hCG Diet will probably leave you a bit unhappy. There certainly are not many options for us hCG Dieters so I carry my apple to eat after my dinner to prevent me from ordering something else.

Stick with the Salads - My recommendation is to purchase the restaurant's grilled chicken salad or grilled chicken Caesar Salad and maintain the dressing and the croutons. Feel free to include tomatoes and onions, as this is the only mixture of vegetables you are allowed to have. Salads are extremely dull, I get that. It is okay. You know what your health future holds for your when you stick to the diet.

Do not Give-In to Peer Pressure- The most difficult factor I have had to experience is someone providing you food that you know you can not eat. okay, listen. People are mean or they don't value what you value. Sometimes people don't understand your desire for a healthier lifestyle. Do not let others determine the future of your health and the future of your objective weight.

Have A Good Time - This diet is not the easiest of diet methods but it is effective. Keep in mind your goals and why you decided it was time to lose weight. Do not let your limited dietary choices while eating out on the hCG diet get you down. Stay positive and realize that this small sacrifice will yield you a life long benefit.

Realize that it is Psychological and Not Physiological - This is more geared to overall success of your diet but it applies because you are most vulnerable when eating out. From personal experience( I have done this protocol 5 times), I have realized that it is not my body that wants me to cheat on the diet, it is my mind. The cravings are mental because it is something I used to eat not something that body actually needs. When eating out, purchase something your body needs - sustenance.

Check out these restaurant/food recommendations-

There are many places you can eat an approved dinner. My "go-to" is Panera Bread. They have exactly what I just suggested. They keep "eating out" on the hCG diet simple.

Try the Grilled Chicken Caesar( which is real chicken, not that nasty pressed chicken) Salad with the dressing on the side( so they don't look at you weirdly), hold the croutons and parmesan cheese and include tomatoes an onions. Panera is perfect because they have the correct portion of chicken needed for your meal.

I have also recently found Jimmy John's. One of my website visitors suggested the Roast Beef "Unwich"; hold the mayo. It is simply a slice of roast beef, which is pretty lean, a couple of tomatoes, wrapped in lettuce. To add flavor, have them put dijon mustard on it. It is only 90 Calories!

Are you a fan of Sushi? Now be careful with this one. This can easily be over done due to you not knowing portion sizes from sushi house to sushi house. Stay conservative. When I visit the sushi house, I get the Sashimi, which is sushi with no rice and a salad with no dressing or with a half of lemon juice.

Like I said before, the best option is to just not eat out at all. Choices are limited and may be irritating. The hcg diet is challenging enough. But, sometimes we gotta do it. I know I do. So these are the choices I have made and so I am passing my experiences on to you.

Here's to your health and hCG Diet Success
