Wondering which foods to eat during Phase 1, loading days? I have the best food list for you!

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FAT BABY!

The main focus during Phase 1, is on FATS.  Blunt, but true.  The loading foods can help you make the transition from carb burning to fat burning faster easier and lower the risk of the dreaded HCG diet headache. It’s also an important step in avoiding cheats, since you’ve recently had temptation foods.

During the loading days you want to avoid high sugar foods as this also will lessen any hCG diet headache.

We we have complied a list of healthy fats to keep you heart healthy and to give you much better fat choice for you.
