Chocolate Delight {HCG Diet Recipe} 07/29/2011
5 Comments
 
Picture
luscious chocolate delight
It is up for debate whether you can eat this on phase 2 or not. But most articles I have read say this can actually help you release fat.

Please use care and pay attention to your results when eating this.

There is a lot of info out there so snoop around and make your own decision about chocolate delight.

I have been eating about 2 tbsp a day on and off while on phase 2 and I find that when I do, I have great  releases (lbs). So, it works for me!

Options for phase 3
~Using agave nectar to sweeten
~adding chopped roasted nuts, especially macadamia nuts to increase ketones
~adding unsweetened coconut
~layer with natural unsweetened nut butters in muffin liners


Ingredients
1 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted
3/4 cocoa*
8 packets stevia, or the equivalent of liquid** about 12-15 drops
a splash of vanilla


*I use a little less then most recipes (usually a 1:1 ratio) I  really like the results. PS- good quality coca is a must!!

** try different flavours like french vanilla, dark chocolate, raspberry, mint, English toffee, orange, etc along with clear/regular or add some grated orange zest for a change.

Directions
  • Melt coconut oil, tip; it is easy to get out of jar using a ice cream scoop. 
  • Sift cocoa into the coconut oil, add stevia and vanilla
  • Stir until completely dissolved. Lumps and residue make for bitter tasting bites, it is worth ensuring that it is completely incorporated.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of mixture in muffin liner papers and refrigerate until set. Put in the freezer if you are in a rush! 
  • Will last for months in the freezer, if you don't eat them all!

~Miracle Noodles~ Basic Preparation 07/07/2011
1 Comment
 
Picture
These are truly a miracle to anyone who loves noodles and are on a low carb/ no carb diet.

They will help bulk up any dish and leave you feeling satisfied.



Best thing about these noodles is they have no carbs, no fat, next to no calories so, no impact on your diet!

There are a few tips to prepare these noodles for anyone who is not familiar.
They do have a different texture then regular pasta and might take a little getting used to. I find the key is to prepare them properly and use an amazing sauce or dressing to dress them up.
I have to warn you, when you open the package you will find they have a fishy smell to them- don't worry! If you follow the steps below they will not taste that way at all!

This is always how I prepare them;
  • Open package and drain completely.
  • Rinse miracle noodles in cold water for a minute
  • Boil in a pot of water for 5 minutes, drain.
  • Add noodles to sauce or soup of your choice and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Another tip someone has shared is to soak the noodles after draining in some apple cider vinegar. (Thanks Lacie!)

I suggest you try these if you are finding you just don't feel full or satisfied after a typical HCG meal or even a low carb meal.

Have any other tips for people?

BulGoGi beef and Kimchi Salad {HCG Diet Recipe} 05/28/2011
0 Comments
 
Picture
A Korean favorite combo of mine.
These are not an extremely authentic recipes  but they have the same tasty flavours of the traditional dishes.

This Kimchi recipe is more like a salad, then the traditional pickle. I still can't tell the difference to my fave take out kimchi. 

Bulgogi Beef

200g beef*
1/4 onion sliced thin- flavour, you don't have to eat it
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp of grated fresh ginger (optional)
2-3 tbsp wheat free/ carb free soy sauce, bragg's aminos or tamari
a tiny squeeze of lemon
a pinch of red pepper flakes
black pepper
a splash of water to make sure beef is completely covered

*You can use fast fry/ minute steak or eye of round cut extremely thin, easily done when partially frozen.

~~If you are on phase 3 use 1/2 tsp sesame oil in the marinade.


Directions
  • marinate overnight in a re-sealable bag
  • cook either on a hot grill (best for minute steak) or in a non-stick skillet. It should only take 5 minutes, you want it to brown a little bit but do not over cook.
Kim-chi

1 small Napa (Chinese) cabbage, chopped in chunks
salt

Dressing

1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp sambal olek (garlic chilli paste)
1-2 tbsp ginger, grated
1 clove of garlic
pepper
1 tbsp bragg's, wheat free soy sauce or tamari

Directions
  • Night before. In a colander placed inside a bowl  layer cabbage liberally sprinkled with salt (don't worry about the salt, you will rinse it after). This will draw out the moisture and wilt the cabbage a bit.  Place in the fridge overnight.
  • Mix the dressing the night before as well to allow the flavours to develop.
  • In the morning, rinse cabbage and drain well.
  • Mix with dressing and let sit for a few hours at least.
Perfect when served together, garnish with green onion.

Kool-aid and Fruity Tea Jello {HCG Diet Recipe} 05/28/2011
0 Comments
 
Picture
Lemon lime Koolaid jello.
So, some say sugar free jello is a go, some say no.
If you make this you can play it safe by keeping with the types of sugar substitutes you are consuming.
Stevia is the only approved sugar sub to be used on HCG.

This recipe is just as simple as jello and similar in procedure.
I played around a bit but found that this was the best combo. If you want to make it more or less sweet just be cautious with the stevia and taste as you go.

I also tried using my favorite fruity tea flavours instead of koolaid for a more natural option but, it's not for everybody.
And, to be honest I just love that neon green lemon-lime :)

All I did was brew the tea bags in the 2 cups of hot water before I bloomed the gelatine then followed the steps bellow. Sweet to taste, it doesn't need as much stevia at all.


Picture
My fruity tea jello.

Ingredients

1/2 packet of kool-aid (the no sugar kind)
2 packages of Knox gelatine powder
4 cups of water (2 cups boiling, 2 cups cold)
8 packets of stevia

Directions
  • Boil at least 2 cups of water.
  • Use 1/2 cup of the boiling water to bloom the gelatine. To do this sprinkle the gelatine on top of the hot water in a bowl. Wait 5 minutes and stir until completely dissolved.
Picture
  • Combine the rest of the hot water with the rest of the hot water and ingredients in another bowl, then add gelatine mixture.
  • Stir until everything is completely dissolved, then add the 2 cups of cold water.
  • Place in fridge to set. Should take a couple hours to become jello.

Garlic Chilli Shrimp on Lettuce {HCG Diet Recipe} 05/22/2011

Loaded with garlic and, a lil' chilli, this   asian inspired quick lunch is perfect hot or cold. I used a few green onions but I didn't even need them. Next time I would leave them out (or even just 1 cut smaller) but, they did look pretty in the pic.
You can wrap these  little gems in the leaves or just as a salad.
