my particular hcg programs protocol is as follows: (some people may be on a different program so dont use mine as your "bible"-do whatever you have been instructed) :-) 100g protein twice daily (chicken breast,beef,venison,white fish,lobster,crab,shrimp,1egg + 3 whites limit 1xwk,FF cottage cheese),bison,turkey breast) veggies 2 portions/day: 1 portion= 1C cooked mixed or 2C raw mixed or all you can eat one type veg IN ADDITION: 2 c leafy greens to each meal
allowed veg: spinach,tomatoes (1med), celery,cucumber,asparagus,cabbage,onions,chard,chicory,beet greens,fennel,red radishes,cauliflower,broccoli,brussel sprouts,endive,pumpkin,yellow summer squash,green zucchini,mushrooms,soy sprouts,green beans (3/4c), bell peppers,jalapeno flakes, Fruits: 2 portions daily or 3 if no melba toast eaten : med apple,1C strawberries,2 kiwi,med orange,1/2 grapefruit.....1 lemon juiced, 1 c. SF jello; no oils or sugars at all

I bought a big bag of radishes and after one meal with 5 radishes, I said I'd never do that again...ready to cut my stinging tongue out. But then I started craving them the next day and love to eat them now. Their "bite" isn't so bad anymore either.

I have never liked radishes they have always been too hot and stingy for me. I read these posts so I ventured out and tried them last night. I grilled them on my George Foreman grill with garlic, salt, pepper and a little mrs dash and as it was grilling you could smell it burning the sting out of them. When it was done I taste-tested a small one and what do you know - they were fantastic! I wanted to make another batch but I did restrain myself - :-)
Thanks all for another the wonderful idea/recipe!
