When you’re dealing with a very low calorie diet (VLCD) like the HCG program, you don’t really get to eat very much. But the eating that you do get to do is very regimented and limited to very specific food groups. So it’s really, really important that you have a few good recipes to keep things at least a little bit interesting.

You can start by sprucing up your basic beverage. You need to drink a LOT of water. Try changing up this most basic of basics with the Stevia drops recommended to go along with the diet. Use your favorite flavor to create flavored water. You’ll be surprised how refreshing it can be.

The HCG diet stipulates two servings of fruit per day. Depending upon the dieter the fruit can either be incorporated at lunch/dinner or as a mid-afternoon snack and after dinner snack. A popular choice is apples. Try this yummy variation to provide yourself a bit of a different, fun option next time you’re feeling fed up with your choices.

Take your apple and cut it in half; sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Place them in the microwave for about 2 and a half minutes or until it’s warm and then take it out and enjoy your warm, cinnamon covered apple halves. You’ll love it.

And for the main dish…try No Pasta Spaghetti Sauce. Grill your lean meat (any variety…it works best chicken or beef). Get a couple tomatoes and put them in a saute pan on medium and cook for about 5 minutes. Throughout the 5 minutes take the back of a spoon and smash the tomatoes randomly. When they’ve been cooking and being smashed for about 5 minutes the tomatoes should resemble a really thick spaghetti sauce. Go ahead and add the meat and then throw in some spices. We like to add garlic salt, onion salt, and some Italian seasonings (about 1/4 tsp of each).

Incorporating interesting meals and snacks into the HCG diet is necessary in order to give you the best chance of successfully completing the diet. Don’t deprive yourself of taste; use the seasonings that are at your disposal and keep it fun and interesting by trying different recipes. There are plenty of options available out there if you care to look around!
