If you are new to the HCG Diet you may not be aware that there exists a cookbook designed specifically for the restrictive phase-2 of Dr. Simeons Diet plan. Phase two of the diet limits you to two breadsticks, two portions of allowed fruit, 7 oz of select meats or seafood a day and approximately 7 oz per day of an allowed veggie all resulting in less than 500 calories. This is not a lot of food and in most cases a person on such a diet would find it difficult to maintain the discipline required to complete this phase of the diet.
