The HCG Diet - Steak Day
To be used IMMEDIATELY after a gain of two pounds on Phase 3
The HCG Diet Steak Day is used during Phase 3 when your morning weight exceeds the weight you had on the last day of HCG by more than two pounds.
The Steak Day requires that you abstain from all food during the day and eat one large steak as your evening meal. The steak should be cooked in oil or butter and should be eaten with one apple.
It is VERY important that the Steak Day diet is followed as soon as the two pound limit is breached, as this allows the hypothalamus to be corrected and function properly again.
The Steak Day works because it naturally corrects the metabolism for a condition of excess calories on the previous day. This decrease in caloires evens out the metabolism by working through the hypothalmus, allowing the body to further stabilize itself in Phase 3.
If the Steak Day is not done immediately after the 2+ pound weight gain, this natural correction does not occur. In cases where this happens, it is not productive to try a Steak Day the second day or to try two Steak Days in a row.
The proper procedure to follow when a needed Steak Day is missed, should be to simply use the new weight (2 or more pounds higher than the last HCG day) and use this as your new maintenance weight. The remaining days of Phase 3 will need to be carefully monitored to ensure that no further weight is gained and that the new maintenance wieght is held.
HCG Diet Double Philly Steak Day
Phase 3 of the HCG Diet can be divided into 2 stages:
Stage 1: Weeks 1-3
Stage 2: Weeks 4-6
HCG Diet Phase 3 weeks 1-3
In the first 3 weeks of Phase 3, you may eat anything you'd like except starches and sugars, but the amount that is eaten is controlled by the morning eating.
The bodyweight should become stable and should not have dramatic swings upward after an occasional intake of excess calories. Accoridng to Dr. Simeon, "If no carbohydrates whatsoever are eaten, fats can be indulged in somewhat more liberally and even small quantities of alcohol, such as a glass of wine with meals, does no harm, but as soon as fats and starch are combined things are very liable to get out of hand. This has to be observed very carefully during the first 3 weeks after the treatment is ended otherwise disappointments are almost sure to occur."
It is important to eat an adequate amount of protein and enough food. A good rule of thumb, is to double your intake of protein and triple the amount of calories. Instead of 2 servings of 3.5 oz. of protein (100g), you would have 2 servings of 7 oz. (200g), with a daily target of about 1,500 calories. These numbers would then be adjusted based upon your hunger and daily weight to maintain your weight in the 4 pound target range.
If your weight goes up 2 or more pounds, you must immediately have a Steak Day. If it goes down more than 2 pounds, you must have a double Philly Steak Day.
Phase 3 Personal Care Products: There are no longer restrictions placed on personal care products; however, it is always a great thing to choose healthy and organic products that limit your impact to the environment!
Read Food Labels!
Next time you're food shopping, carefully read the labels before purchasing anything. It will amaze you just how many products have sugar added to them. Now they may not come right out and call it sugar, but that's exactly what it is. Here are some of the other nicknames we have for sugar.
Restaurants in Phase 3
Most restaurants use large amounts of sugar, fats and other unhealthy ingredients like MSG to improve the flavor of their foods. Be careful of the frequency you eat out, as well as the portion sizes which seem to grow each year.
