Phase 2 Food List

 

hCG foods listed below are the ONLY foods allowed on P2. We follow Dr. Simeons' hCG food list. He worked with the hCG Protocol for twenty years so we do not change the hCG foods included in his original hCG manuscript.

 

I will * the foods that have been added to the original protocol.

 

hCG Protein Options:

  • Veal

  • Lean beef (such as filet mignon, sirloin steaks, extra lean ground beef)

  • Chicken breast (must be boneless, skinless chicken breast with all fat removed)

  • Fresh white fish (such as pollock, tilapia)

  • Lobster

  • Crab (must be a fresh crab, no imitation crab allowed)

  • Shrimp

  • 2% Cottage Cheese (Daisy brand preferred) 1/2 cup

  • 1 Whole egg and 3 additional egg whites 

  • All hCG meats must be weighed to 3.5 oz/100g.

  • They should be weighed raw and have all visible fat trimmed.

  • It is important to cook the meat using no butter, oil, or any other form of fat (ie boil, grill, bake, use non-stick cookware, etc.).
