hCG Phase 2/P2 – Original Plan Foods (OP) & Alternate Plan Foods (AP) – AND Foods you CANNOT EAT on Phase 2/P2
Phase 2/P2 – Original Plan Foods (OP) & Alternate Plan Foods (AP) ALLOWED
AND Phase 2/P2 Foods NOT ALLOWED
This article outlines the ALLOWED Original Dr Simeons Weight Loss Protocol/Plan Phase 2/P2 Foods or Original Plan Foods (OP). It also outlines the Phase 2/P2 Foods that are NOT ALLOWED. Phase 2 is the first phase of the hCG weight loss plan when you are taking your hCG injections. This article also outlines the Alternate Weight Loss Plan Foods (AP) that some people now incorporate into their Phase 2/P2 meals. The Dr Simeons Weight Loss Protocol was created in the 1950’s. In the 1950’s people were not eating many of the vegetables and foods that we eat today. So many of our current foods are not part of the Phase 2/P2 hCG Weight Loss Protocol original food list. It is recommended to follow the Original Plan Phase 2/P2 List as close as possible to achieve maximum weight loss outcomes. But it is OK to experiment with the Alternate Plan Phase 2/P2 Foods as well. The alternate list is a good list to use for times when you may have to stray away from the original Phase 2/P2 plan, such as when… on vacation, at special events, eating at restaurants, during holidays, etc.
It is highly recommended that you keep a daily food diary while on Phase 2/P2 of the hCG Weight Loss Plan. This way, if you see that you have a weight gain one day, it could be from an alternate plan food (or even an Original Plan food) that you chose. Pay close attention to any Original or Alternate Foods that you choose. If you see a weight gain from that food, eliminate it from your Phase 2/P2 diet for the rest of your plan. Everyone is different and some foods affect people differently.
Also, we have added a list of items that you cannot eat on Phase 2/P2 of the plan. These items are just as important to understand. We will start with those. And ALWAYS BE SURE TO READ LABELS!
