hCG Diet Phase 3: The P3toLife Program – EXACTLY what to cook & eat!

First of all let me say this, that is TOTALLY an option(of course it is, thats what weve been doing so far right?) and its free to do that. Never feel like you are doomed without this program.

But one trouble I personally ran into is that even though I was eating low carb after the diet ended, I was still overeating.I thought If it was low carb thats all that mattered. And I have a pretty strong fear of being hungry or not being allowed to eat

There are right now 2 typical approaches to phase 3.1. Continue to eat Phase 2 but just more of everything.2. Find low carb recipes on Pinterest. Make and eat these.

Both of these CAN work. But they are often not ideal for most, and this is why:

DOUBLING UP ON PHASE 2 FOODS.

Positives:Two 100 gram portions of chicken breast have a total of 46 grams of protein. So with this as the example, doubling this would put you at 92 grams of protein for the day- which is a good amount, so that can totally work.

Problems:you are already quite sick of the foods, and because the variety is so limited, you are likely missing out on a lot of good nutrients from other foods. Additionally, adding more P2 fruits can cause the carb intake for a day on p3 to be too high. Doing this also wouldnt include any healthy fats, something that most of us should be adding back in during phase 3. Main point really though is the vast majority of us would have a pretty hard time sticking to just these foods for 3 more weeks after already being stuck with them for 3-6 prior.

FIND LOW CARB OR PALEO RECIPES ON PINTEREST.

Positives:Its free!

Problems: Low carb recipes can often be very calorie dense recipes. This can be a problem if you arent gradually raising your calories when you first come off the 500 calorie diet. Also, most low carb recipes are created by people with the one purpose of them simply being low carb, but there is no thought given to the getting the proper amount of protein, fat, and carbs to give you a balance day of eating. Its very easy to under eat protein. You would have to do quite a bit of legwork to create a plan where you could gradually increase your calories each week.
