Anything may be eliminated if desired per Dr. Simeons’ manuscript as your body will be getting significant nutrients
from the fat being released by the HCG. Remember to keep both body and mind healthy regarding food and eating.
Prepare yourself physically and mentally for your future healthy lifestyle, and get in the habit of using positive
affirmations to boost self esteem, and as a result, your success.
Seasonings allowed: organic sea salt, organic pepper, Braggs apple cider vinegar, organic mustard powder, organic
garlic, organic basil, organic parsley, organic thyme, organic marjoram, etc. If you are unsure whether a seasoning is
allowed follow this rule. If it dissolves in water consider it a seasoning and use it. If it does not dissolve in water consider
it a vegetable and do not use it. The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes.
Drinks allowed: Plain spring water, mineral water, organic tea, and organic coffee are the only drinks allowed; limit to
one cup of coffee in the morning, and spread the others out throughout the day. You should drink about 2 liters (1/2
your body weight in oz’s) of water per day, at minimum. Ex: if you weigh 150lbs you should be drinking at least 75
ounces of water per day.
Note: tea and coffee do not count as part of your daily water requirement
