Introduction

Hello, my name is Dee Fish and I have lost 54 pounds on the recently updated and physician modified hCG diet protocol. Initially, my biggest concern before starting this diet was how I could tolerate and follow through to completion such a strict and bland diet for 6 straight weeks? So I decided to start cooking and created my recipes based on the list I was given of allowable food choices. I spent hours perfecting the taste of each recipe to my liking and was surprised that my entire family enjoyed them too. In fact my husband’s most favorite recipe is the Crock Pot Chicken Tacos in Phase 3.
 
I decided to create this cookbook with two primary objectives in mind:
 
1. To offer the hCG dieter a variety of delicious mouth-watering alternatives to an otherwise bland diet.
 
2. To provide guidelines and tips to the hCG dieter in order to maximize their weight loss success on the protocol.
 
“The Best Diet’s - Ultimate Recipe Cookbook” is comprised of 156 delicious and creative recipes that are specific to the newly updated hCG diet protocol. In addition, I have included cooking and food preparation tips, grocery shopping list and check off list, hCG essentials, and informative phase 2 & 3 published articles on helpful dieting tips.
 
I hope you enjoy my recipes and they help you in achieving maximum success with your weight loss goals.
 
Warmest Wishes,
 
Dee Fish

Daily Weight and Foods Consumed Journal
This is a great tool for you to track and analyze your progress. Log in daily your morning weight and write all foods you have consumed for the day. This will help you to stay motivated and reach your weight loss goal.
Accurate Weight Scale
 
It is important to be consistent in weighing yourself, to do it the same time each day and under the same circumstances. I recommend that you weigh yourself every morning after you wake up and urinate and strip off all your clothes: then weigh in. The morning weight will be your most consistent recording weight. It is recommended you do not weigh yourself throughout the day. The body can fluctuate a few pounds during the day due to water retention. Log in your journal your morning weight daily. It is amazing how you will see the pounds just vanish!
 
Tape Measure
 
You will want to take your body measurements every 7-14 days. It is best to measure naked or in undergarments for the most accurate reading. Use the same tape measure every time and hold the tape measure parallel with the ground so the measurements are the same every time. Measure at the widest point of the body part you are measuring. The only exception to this is the waist. Measure the waist at the narrowest point. Measure your bust by lifting your arms and wrapping the tape measure around your chest. Place the tape measure at the widest part and pull firmly. Put your arms down to get the most accurate measurement then record measurements for your hips, chest, arms, thighs and belly. The midline belly measurement has been correlated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. Anything over 35” for women and over 40” for men correlates with increased risk of heart disease. Track your changes in your journal. It is so rewarding to see the inches just melt away!
 
Food Scale
 
This will help you to keep your foods to be accurate proportions. This is most important for your proteins (excluding egg whites). If possible, purchase proteins raw in and bulk. Cut and weigh into 4oz. individual portions. Store in separate containers and set aside or freeze for future use.
 
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cooking Spray
 
This is essential for you to have when cooking in Phase 2. Most whole foods stores do carry the product but it is attached with a hefty price tag. PAM has a great product and it retails for under $3.00.
 
Grill
 
Grilling meats and other protein foods is a great way to enhance flavors. You can use your outdoor grill or the George Foreman grill. When using the George Foreman grill, you will need to season grill plates or your food may turn out dry. Also this will make it easier for cleanup.
 
Garlic and Pepper Grinder
 
A food processor and blender fall into this category as well. These are great tools to blend spices, chop foods and assists in creativity. This also makes preparing meals easier.
 
Oil Free Lotion and Beauty Products
 
Avoid lotions or beauty products that contain oil, butter or other fat derivatives. It is believed that oil, butter, or fat derivatives can enter the pores and impede weight loss.
 
Phase 2 - Grocery Shopping List

* At the end of Phase 2 Recipes, see our Phase 2 Grocery Check-off List.
 
Seasonings
Not all seasonings are required. This will depend on your preference of flavor enhancers.
 
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar has historically been known to be used for medicinal purposes and has claims that it assists as a fat burner. If you have no tolerance for apple cider vinegar, you can purchase capsules at most whole food stores. Take two capsules before each meal.

This can be found at most whole food stores. Stevia comes in powder packet form and also a liquid.

* Why Was Broccoli Added To The New Protocol?
 
Many dieters that have read the original hCG diet protocol, written over 50 years ago may be questioning why broccoli was added to the new protocol. I decided to ask one of the physicians that modified the old protocol and here is what he said:
 
Dr. Larry Vickman comments, “Broccoli is our new addition to our modified hCG diet protocol. It is loaded with fiber and antioxidants along with many other nutritional factors. As it has a very low glycemic index and is composed mostly of cellulose and water. It does not raise your blood sugar appreciably and in this way it is much like celery. The caloric addition from broccoli is truly minimal and when you consider the multitude of health benefits it offers, it makes sense to include it in things you can eat with regularity. There are those who believe that it takes more energy to digest broccoli and celery than you would obtain from eating it. However, the caloric addition to your meals each day from eating either of them is at best minimal.”
 
Maintaining a Nutritional and Behavioral Journal Is Essential When Beginning the hCG Diet Protocol

A dieter on the hCG diet protocol that keeps a detailed journal by recording nutritional intake and behaviors can dramatically improve their chance of success.
 
Dieters who have made the commitment to do the hCG diet protocol must always remember that consistency is the key element. Keeping records in a journal daily will be the dieter’s most important tool on the protocol.
 
How does a person on the hCG diet go about creating a journal ? Dieters on the hCG protocol can leverage the power of journaling by utilizing these tips:
 
• Dieters should ALWAYS BE HONEST. If a dieter is not honest in their own personal journal, the only one they will be hurting and hiding the truth from is their own self.
• Dieters should clearly define what their realistic goals may be while on the protocol and record them at the beginning of their journal.
• Dieters should make a list of excuses that they tell themselves. They should then turn thee list of excuses into statements of purpose and rehearse them daily.
• Dieters should write out a plan. Dieters will have a hard time sticking with the protocol if they do not have a plan. It is recommended that dieters plan for a week in advance. You are encouraged to think a
