HCG Dieting And Dessert…Can The Two Go Hand In Hand?
So you just started the 500 calorie HCG Diet? It definitely falls into the category of very low calorie. There’s even an abbreviation just for the “very low calorie diet.” It’s VLCD. The hard part for those who have a sweet tooth is dessert.
But there are tools out there to make sure dieters and potential dieters get the tips they need to navigate the diet. That includes potential dieters that are wary of depriving themselves of sweets. Following the diet protocol exactly can leave dieters feeling satisfied. It’s just very important to take advantage of every tool.
Dieters on HCG can have treats and dessert. They just have to be appropriately incorporated into the meal plan. Check out a few recipes that fall in the dessert category from HCG Diet Direct’s eCookbook:
Strawberry Shortcake, 1 serving
Ingredients: plain melba toast, 2 drops vanilla creme flavor stevia, sliced strawberry
How to make it: place the Melba Toast down first and add one drop of Vanilla Creme Stevia. Slice the strawberries and create a layer of strawberries on the toast. Once you’re done with that add the other drop of Stevia and it’s all done.
Strawberries and Cream, 1 serving
The ingredients listed are: Milk (1 TBSP), Strawberries, Vanilla Creme Stevia (2 to 3 drops), and a pack of Stevia (dry)
Instructions: slice up your strawberries and place them in a small bowl. Add the milk and two types of stevia and toss. Serve it fresh.
The Strawberry-Orange Smoothie from HCG Diet Direct’s eCookbook is for one serving
Ingredients: 1 cup frozen or fresh strawberries, 1/2 and orange or 1/3 cup of orange juice (actual orange juice not concentrate), 3/4 cup crushed ice, 1/2 dropper or 1 packet of stevia (any flavor), 1 handful of frozen spinach leaves (optional)
Instructions: Place the ingredients into your blender and turn it on. Turn it off when the concoction is smooth and pour it out to serve immediately.
Looking into the homeopathic HCG diet can leave potential dieters feeling wary of the lack of sugar and fat. But after trying a few of the dessert/treat recipes most will change their mind. It’s not nearly as difficult as many potential dieters make it out to be.
