Great Lunch Ideas for HCG Dieters

It's not easy being a lean, mean, fat burning machine especially when life does what it does best – happen. Between getting kids off to school in the morning or just hurrying out the door to get to work, not much time is left to prepare something delicious that also happens to be an approved HCG recipe. For some of us food lovers, the same lunch day in and day out on the HCG diet can spell trouble. When we get bored with our diet we may be tempted to cheat (no good) and I've said time and time again that cheating can lead to a dramatic halt in your weight loss with HCG. When you're getting a little antsy with your typical HCG lunches, give these three recipes a try and mix it up! Blackened Chicken Salad 100g chicken breast 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp thyme 1/4 tsp white pepper 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp ground red pepper Bed of lettuce or spinach Combine all spices and rub on chicken. Grill until no longer pink. Serve over lettuce or spinach. Spicy White Chili 100 grams cooked chicken breast, shredded 1-4 c water (depending on how soupy you want it) 4 cloves minced garlic 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1/8 tsp ground cloves Tabasco or sugar free hot sauce to taste Preheat pot over MED-HI heat. Add all ingredients except for tabasco/hot sauce. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer, cover, & cook 30 mins. Add tabasco or hot sauce right before serving. Cucumber Shrimp Salad 2 c. diced cucumber 100 grams shrimp White or apple cider vinegar to taste Juice of 1/2 lemon Sugar free hot sauce to taste Cook shrimp in a pan until done.
