HCG Diet Breakfasts: 800 calories vs. Simeons’ 500 calorie plan
HCG Diet breakfast is the meal that is much different on the 800 calorie HCG diet as compared to the original Simeons’ protocol which is a few bread sticks, coffee and a fruit. An apple or sticks is not breakfast and eating only these leads in the long run to hunger later in the day. A lot of overweight people skip breakfast as a way to reduce calories or because they are too rushed or not hungry.Just the opposite of what they should be doing. Breakfast can be very simple or more complicated. Here are some simple suggestions for breakfast followed by some breakfast recipes for the 800 calorie HCG Diet

- 2 eggs, a veggie omelet (this can be made of egg whites, 2 whole eggs, egg beaters or any combination thereof). Add 3 crackers to the eggs (Melba toast etc.).

- Dannon Carb Control Light and Fit yogurt with berries or cut up fruit.

Two Simple HCG Friendly Breakfasts
The Importance of Breakfast in the HCG Diet: More Important than Exercising
Here are the reasons breakfast is more important than exercise (hint: it’s about eating, not metabolism).
- For most busy people, exercise is low on the list of priorities; it’s easy for day-to-day events to get in the way of exercise time.
- Breakfast, especially when eaten in the car (safety first!), at school or at work takes no time.
- Breakfast prevents most people from grazing during the morning and making poor selections at lunch. Fast foods and big restaurant type of lunches are easy to consume, especially if co-workers are eating them. Breakfast helps protect us from this kind of eating and the high protein prevents hunger.High Protein in the HCG Diet Note how few choices have significant carbs.
- It helps us slow down how fast we eat lunch.
- Eating breakfast does not speed up your metabolism, just like eating small meals all day does not. How can one possibly speed metabolism up by eating! The confusion may be from the normal increase in metabolism needed to digest food, but this number is a few calories at best. It’s never enough to have any effect on energy i.e. fat that is stored.
If you are struggling to lose weight, think “breakfast.” At home, in the car, at work, at school, or anywhere — as long as you don’t skip it. BREAKFAST IS ONE OF THE KEY WAYS TO AVOID SLOWDOWNS AND PLATEAUS THAT OCCURR IN THE hcg diet.
HCG Diet Reviews: “Go to the gym or eat breakfast?” may be the choice facing some well-intentioned dieters every morning. If you had only time for one of these, which would be more important?. The answer is clear, breakfast trumps exercise any day.
How can that be? Why is breakfast so important? It can add calories. The answer is simple, if you look at all of the overweight people that lost and kept their weight off, the one thing they all have in common is the fact that they eat breakfast. 90% of weight loss maintainers do not skip breakfast. Almost 100% of successful dieters have breakfast 6 out of 7 mornings a week. In terms of exercise: 50% to 60% exercise 4-5 days a week.
In the figure below, protein for breakfast and late in the afternoon prevents wide fluctuations in blood sugar and decreases hunger. This is even more important in the HCG diet where food intake, and therefore calories, are markedly decreased.
Having protein for breakfast will insure the right food for lunch because hunger and cravings are controlled. Additional proteins for breakfast are found in the HCG shopping list.

They don’t take long to make, and then you
can use it for several meals.
