Another MUST have on the HCG Diet!

Here is another MUST have while on the HCG diet. This stuff rocks! Bragg's Liquid Aminos is the perfect solution to make all your meat and vegetables taste incredible! The best part is that it is completely approved while on the HCG diet.

I love adding this to my chicken, beef, and even a little when cooking my fish. Personally I think it really tastes like soy sauce.

My favorite HCG meal: I would put a little liquid aminos and water in the pan with my measured chicken add salt and pepper and cook my chicken in it. Once the chicken was almost done I would add my chopped broccoli and some more liquid aminos and grill it together! It is so yummy and tastes like a rice bowl minus the rice. :) Sometimes I would roll this into huge lettuce cups!

Bragg Liquid Aminos contains:
  • no chemicals
  • no Gluten
  • no artificial coloring
  • no preservatives
  • no alcohol
  • Certified NON-GMO

Most health food stores carry Bragg Liquid Aminos or there are also places on the internet that you can also buy it! Try it! You will be happy you did!

Frozen Slushy Drink Recipe

This is one of the best HCG recipes when it comes to feeling like you are having a treat and adds some excitement to the way you can eat your serving of fruit! There are so many variations to this recipe so it is hard to get bored with it. I use this recipe while on the HCG diet, maintenance, and after!

Orange Frozen Slushy Drink
1 Fruit Serving= about 140 grams of an orange
4 drops of Vanilla Creme Stevia
A couple of handfuls of ice cubes
Some water (or to add a kick use a little seltzer or club soda)

Put the orange in the blender and blender it up then add the Vanilla Creme Stevia and a bunch of ice cubes, and a little water or club soda and blend until smooth. This can make quite a lot by adding more ice and water or club soda. It makes a very yummy slushy!

You can also try this recipe with grapefruits, apples, strawberries. During the HCG diet I DO NOT mix fruits but on the maintenance and after I have mixed strawberries and oranges together and it is awesome! I also have used a lot of the different Stevia flavors. This is a great recipe to be creative!

A Favorite Plateau Breaker

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar does so many wonderful things for the body such as relieves heartburn and helps with digestion but one of the best things is that it does is to help the body BURN FAT! This compliments the HCG diet since that is what we are all accomplishing on the HCG diet.. burning off that stubborn fat!

Most of us hit a small plateau while on the HCG diet. There are many things we can do to break the plateau that we include in the Diet Tool Kit but here is one of the favorites that is really simple to do.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

1 Tall Glass of Water
2 Tablespoons Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs is a great brand but any Organic Apple Cider Vinegar may be used)
Stevia to taste (Either 1/2-1 packet of Stevia or if you are using the liquid Stevia you only need a couple of drops)

Mix together with a spoon and drink it with a straw. The Apple Cider Vinegar can be harsh on the enamel of the teeth so it is best to drink with a straw so there is not a lot of direct contact. It is also better to drink it in one sitting than to sip on it throughout the day. It is important to use "Organic". The Stevia is not necessary but it really helps with the taste!

Stevia Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing

Here come the Stevia recipes!!!

I love this recipe! I used it all the time when I was on the HCG diet, on my maintenance and now! It is super fast to make and tastes so yummy! When I would have to eat out while on the HCG diet, I would always bring this dressing for my salad. Each time my friends would taste it and wanted the recipe!

Strawberry White Balsamic Vinaigrette
2-3 large strawberries
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar (I like to use white wine vinegar)
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 packet Stevia
Put all the ingredients together in a blender and blend it on puree until mixed (it only takes a few seconds). I love this dressing on my salads, cucumbers, strawberries and even some of my meat. It is delicious on anything!
Enjoy!

What Are "Weight Off" Drops??


What are "Weight Off" drops? We keep getting that question over and over so we decided to dedicate a post to these awesome drops!

Here is the official definition: Weight Off Drops is a homeopathic remedy geared towards supporting the glands that are involved in weight loss and to support a healthy metabolism. Weight Off supports weight loss by suppressing the appetite. It also assists in helping the body to burn fat.

In short it is a great natural appetite suppressent that helps control your hunger and cravings! It comes in a big 2oz. bottle so there is plenty to last you through the HCG diet and throughout your maintenance!

You can take the drops 3 times a day 30 minutes before a meal. A lot of people report that they only need to take them once a day or even every other day because they work so well. If you are looking for a great way to help with cravings and appetite control--Look NO Further!
