You do get to eat while on the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program. But you definitely don’t get to eat a lot. You don’t even get to eat very much. That’s the entire point. But there is a lot of drinking. But even that is limited. Homeopathic HCG dieters are required to drink a lot of water, but when it comes to drinks that are actually tasty…there’s not a lot of leeway.
But one “freebie” many dieters learn to take advantage of is herbal tea. Herb tea is the only thing (besides water) on the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program that dieters can have at any time in any amount. Many dieters claim they made it through the low calorie diet by reaching for herb tea when they wanted to reach for food.
Many prefer to purchase their herbal tea. A brand that is recommended by many on the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program is Stash. Stash is available at many health food stores. It is also available at some grocery stores. It comes in a variety of flavors.
The one limitation that makes many homeopathic HCG dieters sad is the sweetener limitation. You cannot use any sugar. You cannot use any honey. You cannot use artificial sweeteners like Equal, etc. But once dieters become accustomed to the lack of typical sweetener they find that many types/flavors of herbal tea do not actually require sweetener in the traditional sense of the word. Many find that Stevia sweetener is more than appropriate.
Still others dieting while adhering to the homeopathic HCG diet weight loss protocol become attached to particular herbal tea mixtures that they concoct themselves, learn from other dieters or pull from HCG dieting cookbooks. One particular favorite of many dieters is Fruity Green Tea.
Recipe for Fruity Green Tea:
1. Boil 1 cup of water
2. soak 5 green tea bags for 3 to 5 minutes (3 pomegranate-raspberry and 2 mangosteen or mix and match)
3. Obtain a 2 quart pitcher. Pour herbal tea mixture in and then fill to the top with water.
4. Add juice of 2 lemons (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup)
5. Add Stevia of whatever flavor, approximately 4 to 5 droppers full. Suggested Stevia flavors include Lemon, Apricot Nectar and Valencia Orange.
