HCG for Weight Loss: Makeover Your Kitchen for Success

If you are following the HCG for weight loss program, you understand that it is very strict and allows no room for modification. In order to set yourself up for success in using HCG, you should take a few steps to prepare your kitchen and your cupboards for this new eating plan.

As you know, the HCG diet allows only 500 calories per day because the HCG in the bloodstream is liberating thousands of calories of abnormal fat stores and using those nutrients for energy. Since you will be following a very restrictive eating plan, you want to have everything in place to make meal preparations as simple and convenient as possible.

Here are some supplies you may want to purchase and have on hand when you start the HCG program:

Blender
A blender is handy to have to mix up a fruit smoothie or to blend an oil-free salad dressing. Juicer
Combine your daily portion of vegetables. Pop them into the juicer and drink them up. Food chopper
Using a food chopper makes meal preparation easy and fun Microwave vegetable steamer
Steaming your vegetables in the microwave is an easy way to cook them without using oil. Counter top electric grill
Use one of these handy appliances to prepare your meat for lunch and dinner. You can watch the fats drain away from the food as it cooks.

Clear out your cabinets
In order to get rid of temptation, you should clear all of the sweets, cookies, crackers, chips, and sugar-laden cereals from your cabinets.

Remove the foods from your refrigerator that are not on your HCG diet plan so that they will not be available to you.

Buy an ample supply of the foods approved for the HCG diet
Make a shopping list and buy a ready supply of the foods that are included in the HCG for weight loss program. This way you can prepare your meals and you will have everything you need on hand.

Prepare some meals ahead
Use some of the plastic food storage containers, pack a few pre-measured meals away, and put them in the freezer. There will be days when you come home exhausted and not in the mood to prepare a meal. If you can simply reach in the freezer and re-heat something, you are far more likely to stick with the plan.

At first, it might seem daunting to think that you can survive on a mere 500 calories a day, but when you use HCG for weight loss, you won’t feel hungry or cranky. You will, have to get out of the habit of eating so much food, and you will have to find other ways to satisfy your boredom, if you want to lose weight.
