Recipe: Beef and Cabbage Stirfry

In my experience, beef on P2 is one of the best ways to maximize losses.  It seems that with most people, choosing  beef as one meal each day helps with consistent lower numbers on the scale.  I cannot explain the phenomenon, I just have seen it happen more often then not.

Remember what Dr. Simeons says about beef in his Pounds and Inches manual under the subheading of Making Up of the Calories:

In America, therefore, low-grade veal should be used for one meal and fish (excluding all those species such as herring, mackerel, […]

Recipe: Marinara Sauce

Marinara Sauce on P2 is so incredibly versatile.  It is a staple when I am doing a round.  I especially like it when I make Zoodle Chicken (P2 legal and recipe coming soon).

First, what is a zoodle?  It’s a cute little name someone came up with who knows how long ago that describes making noodles out of zucchini.  Yeah, whoda thunk you could make noodles out of zucchini???

When you are on the Phase 2 portion of The hCG Protocol, you have to get creative.  And this is creative at it’s best!

I have a kitchen tool that is just perfect for […]

My comfort foods of choice on P2 are two categories; I either want Mexican or Asian.  I finally figured out that having lots of spice in your foods make you feel satiated.  And when you are dealing with only 500 calories for the day, you gotta do what you gotta do to make the fullness last.

I don’t know what it is.  Is it the heat that causes you to drink more water so that makes you full?  Or is it just the spice alone?

Seems it’s a little of both, but leans toward the spice itself.

There is actually a study that […]

Recipe: Thai Beef Cucumber Salad

During my first couple of rounds, I followed The hCG Protocol pretty darn strictly, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t try to expand the rules a little.  HA!

Technically, cilantro is not listed in the recommend food list of Pounds and Inches.  But I knew I wanted it.  I wanted something to spice up my foods, and I missed it.

I did some extensive research about cilantro and figured that the health benefits outweighed any detrimental effects it might have had on The hCG Protocol.  Oh yeah, call it justification.

But seriously, Dr. Simeons does mention specifically that you are allowed […]

Recipe: Salsa

I had no idea, but did you know that Salsa is considered the number one condiment in the United States?  According to Food Product Design magazine, as of December 2000, salsa replaced ketchup as the number one condiment in the US!

Salsa is one of those things that everybody has their own recipe as to what they think is best, however, I felt it important to provide you with a base that you can tweak on your own.

I have found the following recipe fits that requirement quite nicely.

Make sure you pay attention to the notes at the bottom of the […]
