salsa was not included in the orginal protocol (it can be very high in sugar). I don't believe broccoli or cauliflower were either. You are not supposed to mix veggies, even on a salad. Also, I was very confused on how many veggies to eat on the protocol, but there is no limit on size, just be sure not to go over your 500cal. I use veggies to fill in the gaps on days when I'm short on calories.

I can say from experience that if you put organic salsa over your salad and protein this is fine. It is a great alternative to the vinegar or lemon, especially if it is spicy! just make sure it is JUST veggies in the salsa and no sugar. I buy the whole foods 365 brand, and use about 2 TBSP (not more), which has 5 calories.

what about the whole "don't mix veggies" thing? lots of different stuff in salsa. tracy- the interesting question is whether or not you would have lost more weight on the original program, although i sure wouldn't argue with almost a pound a day! i found that i almost did better on the days when i cheated and added a little extra food (of the allowed ones). i think the calories were a little too low for me. but i didn't measure anything but the meat, either, and didn't count all the calories. if i have to go to all that hassle, i'd probably give up.
does anyone have a list of the stuff that's allowed, and calories per item? that would be helpful to post. |

You are in fact encouraged not to us sauces such as barbecue sauce, A-1 Steak Sauce, etc., on meats nor any salad dressings on salads or butter on vegetables. One trick I learned in phase two of my diet is that I could use Louisiana Hot Sauce on chicken as it has zero calories. That has helped immensely and because it is spicy, you feel fuller. I also use Balsamic Vinegar on Spinach salads and toss Romaine very lightly with C easer Dressing. ShareThis |

My husband eats broccoli and has lost 33 lbs in 30 days. He also eats louisiana hot sauce but stalled using one kind it had way way too much sodium 270 mg per serv . So check the label --he switched to Tabasco which has the least sodium only 35 mg and he started dropping again. I make my own salsa which has no sugar in it and dr says it is ok but have been afraid to try it as have been sticking to original protocol and have not wanted to mix veggies as instructed. I weigh out 3 1/2 oz of meat and 3 1/2 oz of veggies which is what is listed on instructions from dr.

I have a few friends that are in various stages of the HCG program. They all have given me feed back about mixing and adding veggies to the diet. The ones who have done more than one round of HCG ALL agree that when they sticked to the original list of Dr. S...they lost more than when they mixed/added to the list.
One friend, lost 31 in 28 days on first round - strict adherence to protocol. Lost 21 the second round in 28 days - mixed and added veggies...and then her 3rd round, went back to strict Dr. S diet and lost 29 in 28 days. The other two friends had similar results - all female. So, I believe that weight loss is possible by mixing and adding...it is just not as fast as sticking to the protocol. I've stuck to the diet like crazy. I've lost 24 lbs in 27 days. I'm too chicken to mix/add. I don't want to slow down my progress. I do however, experiment like crazy with spices!!! |

Sorry to say but broccoli, cauliflower or mixing of veggies if NOT allowed on the DR S "weight lose cure".
Here is all you are allowed on the DR S program. One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage Can you still lose weight by NOT following this, sure, you will lose weight on any 500 calorie diet, with or without HCG but what about the cure? What about losing the correct weight. What about resculpting, what about lean muscle fat or SQ fat what about???? If all you wanted to do was lose weight, why are you doing the weight lose cure? Just curious. The when one person cheats and spreads the word, hey I did this and it worked, soon you have people trying to do this and it is NOT working for them. This is where 1/2 our clients come from, mis information. The DR S program works for everyone. it is temporary, I would follow what works as a cure. Bob |
