For those of you using Dr Koo’s HCG diet management protocol, we have a new
delicious low calorie recipe for the summer for you!! After you have used the
HCG weight loss drops for at least 1 month then you can try this recipe. Count
the total calories depending on what you substitute for ingredients and apply
that number to your total calories for the day.

This is a delicious taste treat that will satisfy your need for some flavor without
piling on unnecessary calories.  If you are on maintenance for the HCG weight loss program, this will be a
delicious low calorie recipe you can modify and continue to use. 

This recipe has become a favorite on the weekends during the summer with a lovely refreshing
lemony flavor. Try it this coming weekend for the 4th of July and let us know how you like
it!!

                     Lemony Herbed Miracle Noodles with Tomatoes, Olives and Feta
 
2 bags of angel hair, fettuccini or orzo Miracle Noodles
3 tablespoons cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 medium-large ripe plum tomatoes (about 3/4 pound) cored, seeded and diced
1/4 pound drained feta,  crumbled
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1) Empty Miracle Noodles into colander, draining the water that the noodles
are packed in. Boil for one minute, drain, pat dry with a small hand towel
and set aside in a large bowl.
 
2) In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon
salt. Pour the dressing over the Miracle Noodles and toss well. Add the tomatoes,
olives, feta, green onions, parsley, mint, tarragon, rosemary, thyme and a generous
grinding of pepper. Toss well and serve within an hour or so of completion.
 
The herbs can be found very easily during the summer season and provide an
enormous flavor punch without the salt!
 
The above combination of herbs does wonders on just about anything.  Try
the fresh rosemary and thyme on chicken and get ready for the compliments.
Put that on a bed of Miracle Noodles and you have a great meal.
 
To a Healthy, Low Cal Summer!

 


PHASE I: hCG WEIGHT LOSS PROTOCOL aka YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT!

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Remember, you can obtain you hCG from Dr Michele Koo’s office and she will manage your weight loss program. Don’t be fooled by the inexpensive hCG, you need medical supervision to do this safely and effectively. You also need to make sure that the HCG is pure and comes from a verified FDA regulated manufacturer.

3.     PHASE I: until end weight goal is reached or up to 2-4 months or when you decide you want to take a break (You must stay in touch with our office and STAY ON THE PROTOCOL FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS during this period).

EVERY MORNING AND EVENING:  TAKE .5 CC (1/2 OF THE MEDICINE DROPPER TO THE .5 MARK) OF THE LIQUID hCG.  PLACE THE .5 CC  LIQUID UNDER YOUR TONGUE, LEAVE IT FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES. THIS .5CC IS 165 IU WHICH IS YOUR DOSE 2X A DAY UNTIL WEIGHT GOAL IS REACHED or when you want to take a break.

Day 1 and 2: Gorge yourself on whatever you want to eat emphasizing fat rich foods, e.g., bacon, steak, eggs, cheesecake, burgers, salmon, ribs, etc. EAT HIGH FAT FOODS EVERY 2 HOURS & eat as much as you want.  You can eat sugars and carbohydrates as well but the emphasis in these 2 days is on consuming high fat foods. No matter what, you must keep eating and force yourself to eat for these 2 days. Do not worry if you gain weight, you will lose that once the 500 calorie limit begins. Your body and hypothalamus needs this replenishment to start.

The rest of the month up to 4 months as long as you are taking the hCG 2x/day
morning and night until goal weight is reached: you must stay on 500 cal/day!

Breakfast:

Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours. Saccharin or Stevia may be used.

Lunch:

1. 100 grams of veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. Salmon, eel, tuna, herring, dried or pickled fish are not allowed. The chicken breast must be removed from the bird.

2. 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.

3. One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast.

4. An apple, orange, or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit.

Dinner :

The same four choices as lunch (above.)

Drinks and Seasonings

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes.

Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing.

Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water (2 liters of water per day is recommended) are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times.

The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.

No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may he used without special permission.

Portions and specially prepared unsweetened, low calorie foods

“In many countries specially prepared unsweetened and low Calorie foods are freely available, and some of these can be tentatively used… the total daily intake must not exceed 500 Calories if the best possible results are to be obtained, that the daily ration should contain 200 grams of fat-free protein and a very small amount of starch.”

  • The 500 calorie limit must always be maintained.

  • 2 small apples are not an acceptable exchange for “1 apple.”

  • Very occasionally we allow egg - boiled, poached or raw - to patients who develop an aversion to meat, but in this case they must add the white of three eggs to the one they eat whole.

  • Cottage cheese made from skimmed milk is available 100 grams may occasionally be used instead of the meat
