Here is what you eat during Phase 2 of the HCG Diet:

    Breakfast:
•   Black Coffee or
•   Green Tea or
•   Yerba Mate Tea or
•   Wu Long Tea or
•   Chamomile Tea
    You may have as much as you desire. You may sweeten the tea and
    coffee with Stevia, but no other sweeteners should be used. Make
    sure that the Stevia doesn’t contain any additional ingredients i.e
    erythritol, dextrose, etc.


    Lunch:
    1. 100 grams (weighed raw) of grilled (no oil or fat) one of the meat
    choices below:

•   beef – This is not an ideal choice of protein. If you do have beef,
    limit it to a lean cut like Round Roast or London Broil and only have
    beef 2-3 times per week.
•   veal
•   fresh white fish (should not be frozen) – Ayr, Cat Fish, Cod, Coley,
    Dover Sole, Flounder, Flying Fish, Haddock, Hake, Halibut, Hoki,
    John Dory, Kalabasu, Lemon Sole, Ling, Monk Fish, Parrot Fish,
    Plaice, Pollack, Pomfret, Red & Grey Mullet, Red Fish, Red Snapper,
    Rohu, Sea Bass, Sea Bream, Shark, Skate, Tilapia, Turbot, and
    Whiting. ** The best place to buy FRESH fish would be a local health
    food store if you live in a land-locked state.
•   chicken breast
•   shell fish (shrimp, crab, prawn, lobster, etc)
•   Very occasionally we allow egg – boiled, poached or raw – to people
who develop an aversion to meat, but in this case they must add the
    white of three eggs to the one they eat whole.
•   **(Per Pounds and Inches, American beef has almost double the
    caloric value of South Italian beef, which is not marbled with fat.
    The marbling is impossible to remove. In America, therefore, low-
    grade veal should be used for one meal and fish (excluding all
    those species such as herring, mackerel, tuna, salmon, eel, etc.,
    which have a high fat content, and all dried smoked or pickled fish),
    chicken breast, lobster, crawfish, prawns, shrimps, crabmeat or
    kidneys for the other meal.)

    2. One large handful of one of the following vegetables:

•   spinach
•   chard
•   chicory
•   beet greens
•   lettuce of any kind
•   tomatoes
•   celery
•   fennel
•   white, yellow or red onions
•   red radishes
•   cucumbers
•   asparagus
•   cabbage
    These can be eaten raw, steamed, grilled or boiled. Do not mix
    vegetables in the same meal.

    3. One of the following fruits:

•   1 apple
•   1 orange
•   1/2 grapefruit
•   1 handful of strawberries
    4. One grissini breadstick or one melba toast.


    Dinner:
    The same 4 choices as for lunch.

    Drinks Allowed:

    Plain spring water, still mineral water, tea, coffee, Zevia. You
    should drink at least 2 liters of these liquids per day. We actually
    recommend drinking 1/2 of your weight in ounces per day. For
    example, if you weigh 200lbs you’ll want to drink a min. of 100oz
    of water daily.** Zevia is not on the original protocol. Use at your
    own risk.

    Seasonings Allowed:

    Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, basil, parsley, thyme,
    marjoram, etc. Spices should be in their natural form for best
    results. Watch for sugar, artificial sweeteners, mixed veggies, or
    foods not allowed on the diet (i.e. carrots) in your spices!


    Misc…
•   You may eat the breadstick and fruit as a snack in between meals
    instead of with your meals if you choose.
•   No over the counter non-prescription drugs should be taken (with
    the exception of Aspirin). ** Consult your physician before
    discontinuing any medications, prescription or non-prescription.
•   No cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and facial powder
    should be used.
•   No creams, lotions or moisturizers that contain fat should be used.
    (Check the ingredient list. It is not safe to use if it contains “oil” or
    anything ending in “-ose”)
•   Those not uncommon patients who feel that even so little food is
    too much for them, can omit anything they wish (page 31 in Pounds
    and Inches)
•   Massages are not recommended while on the HCG Diet
    It is encouraged, but not required to do the following:

•   Walk for one hour per day.
•   Listen to stress reducing CDs.
•   Do yoga as often as possible.
•   Sweat for 20 minutes in a sauna as often as possible.
•   Do yoga as often as possible.
•   Get twenty minutes of sun daily.
    Do not drink very cold beverages.
