HCG Essentials

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

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.
