What can't I eat on the HCG Diet?

The HCG Diet is a low-calorie eating plan that is designed to help with weight loss by limiting the amount of calories you consume each day. It is one of the most restrictive diets out there, so it’s important to know what foods you can eat on the HCG Diet and which ones you can’t. The HCG Diet is a low-carb diet that works by tricking your body into thinking it’s fasting. Your body doesn’t have the ability to store fat, so it converts any excess calories into glycogen to be used as energy instead. This means that on the HCG Diet, you can eat as much protein, healthy fats, and low-glycemic carbs as you’d like without worrying about putting on weight. You can even eat as much carbohydrate as you’d like as long as you don’t exceed your daily HCG intake. Here is a list of foods you can eat on the HCG Diet:
