HCG Diet Direct Responds to Questions About Low/Zero Calorie Food Products::

HCG Diet Direct responds to consumer concerns regarding zero calorie and low calorie additions to the meal plan required by the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program. Dieters on the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program are expected to stick to a low calorie daily diet. But the calorie limitation is not the only requirement. Dieters are also provided with a very short list of approved foods. This leaves many looking for “approved substitutions.”

Jenny Boynton of HCG Diet Direct responds, “The response to this request is simple, direct and never changing. There are no approved substitutions.” The approved list of foods includes a short list of lean meats, a short list of fruits, a short list of vegetables, and two food products that are used as the “starch” on the diet.

Many dieters and potential dieters continue to be confused by the severity of the diet when it comes to low calorie and even zero calorie food products. Some of the most frequently questioned products include:

1.    Fat free salad dressings

2.    Seasonings

3.    Substitute butter products

4.    Vegetables that are not on the approved vegetable list

5.    Pickled products including: pickles, peppercinis, etc.

While some dieters insist that they have incorporated products not specifically approved by the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program, the measures are in place to ensure maximum weight loss. Almost all products that are brought into question are obvious mistakes once they are studied.

1.    Fat free salad dressings often have high sugar content. Dieters are encouraged to study the ingredients list as well as the nutritional values posted on the package of any salad dressing they are considering incorporating. Look for zero or low calories. Also look to make sure there is zero fat, zero sugar, and zero oil.

2.     Seasonings have a similar problem. Refer to the ingredients list to ensure that there is no salt. Most seasonings have high salt content. One interesting seasoning that adds variety to the diet that is approved for homeopathic HCG dieting is Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning. Similar products could be available at your local grocer or health food market.

3.    Substitute butter products are not approved on the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program because of their high oil content.

4.    The approved vegetable list is not random. The vegetables on the list are high in nutrition and low calorie. For instance many vegetables are very high in starch; these would not be approved.

5.    Pickled products (and other low or zero calorie snack products) pose a problem because of the way they are made. Pickled products are made in brine that often contains either oil or sugar or both.
