My HCG Tracker

The book was somewhat inadequate, but for 10 bucks it was helpful start (it would have been worth $20 with the kind of information below.) Before you start the protocol, I would very strongly recommend a book, a new book, the first intelligent scientific book of its kind about the HCG protocol, that I could find. It is a great technical and psychological preparation. The author also simplifies the Protocol diet, and dispenses some invaluable counsel for the protocol's safe and successful do-it-yourself completion."Weight-Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the hCG Protocol" by R.P. Woodall, who has guided hundreds people through the HCG protocol, and the book shows it.My wife, who is partially vegetarian, is doing the protocol. She only eats true fish (not shellfish) and chicken, for meat, so I only calculated 100 gram counts for chicken and the fish which she eats.Here is something I put together with the help of this Tracker. These calorie counts may MAY BE HELPFUL TO SOME READERS TO COPY/PASTE into their records:--------------------------------------------------------FOOD ITEM CALORIES for every 100 grams, raw (3.6 ounces)CHICKEN 170 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)FLOUNDER 119 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)HADDOCK 114 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)HALIBUT 143 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)SHRIMP 247 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)TUNA 187 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)WHITE FISH 103 calories for 100 grams (3.6 ounces)FOOD ITEM CALORIES for SPECIFIED PORTIONSASPARAGUS 25 calories for 1/2 cup, boiledBEET-GREENS 8 calories per ounceCABBAGE 15 calories for 1/2 cup, boiledCELERY 10 calories for 1/2 cup, for raw-dicedCHARD 35 calories for 1 cupCUCUMBER 20 calories for 5-ounce weightFENNEL 27 calories per 1 cup, for raw-slicedGREEN SALAD 35 calories for 1 and a half cupsONION 30 calories for 1/2 cup, for chopped-cookedSPINACH 40 calories for 1 cup, boiledTOMATO 25 calories for 4 ounces-weightGRAPEFRUIT 10 calories per ounce-weightORANGE 15 calories per ounce-weightLEMON 12 calories for Juice of 1 lemon, raw-freshMILK 4 calories per TablespoonRICE CRACKER AND RICE CAKE EQUIVALENTS FOR BREADSTICKS AND MELBA TOASTRICE CRACKERSRice Crackers are SESMARK rice thins (3.5 oz.

I love the way its set up!Very simple and easy to use!

Not like I thought it will be. I wanted to return it because I realized that the one I had was good enough, but at the end I kept it because I did not feel like going to the return steps. I am using it every day to track what kind of food I am eating while doing the HCG diet and I am also using this one  Daily Planner Diet Journal . The difference between them is that in the Daily Planner I have the option to count the calories of the food I am taking daily and the HCG tracker does not have that option, you just make a check mark for the type of food you eat. I personally like to count the calories, because I do not want to go over 500 and I have discovered that even eating what I am supposed to eat, I can eat more than the allowed calories. Also the Daily Planner has an End-of-the-Week Wrap-Up where I can write the results, feelings of the past week and goals for the next and for me, this is important and motivating. The HCG Tracker is useful to remind yourself what to eat and at the very end has a section on the Maintenance Phase. In general it guides you through the HCG dieting journey. I personally think I would have managed well without it, because the Daily Planner has everything I need to record what I eat and has more features to my like. Also I am familiar with all the steps of the diet. However, having said that, if you need something that guides you though the steps of the diet and do not care about counting the calories, you will be fine with this tracker. Right now I am using both and having success. I hope this helps in deciding what is best for you. Best of luck!

This book is a workbook style book that helps you by providing "daily journal" with foods, etc. that you can check off during the HCG injection (or other application) diet phase 2. I was hoping for more info about how to deal with the different phases, and it certainly wasn't there. I already had a journal for the phase two diet. If you don't, this is a good buy. If you do, but need more info, which was my situation, it is not a good buy. I don't know how motivational it was... it could have covered more days and issues. Not horrible, but I am reselling it or giving it away...The HCG diet is working well for me by the way, I am using injectable HCG and have done one phase 1, a phase two (the 500 cal. diet and HCG, and am into phase 3 and will go through a second round of the phase 1 - 3 to lose the rest of the weight. I had stubborn, hormonal issues with weight, tried lots of other types of diet, including Jenny Craig which worked well for me when I was younger, but did not work the last couple of short trys I gave because of the problems that HCG deals with so very well. I have lost and maintained a loss of 20 lbs during the HCG phase, have lost a couple more in the middle period (and my weight was rising steadily due to hormonal imbalance and medications I needed to take for MS) -- I would like to lose 15-20 more lbs during the next 40 day cycle of HCG, and that is very likely. At that point, I will be at optimal weight. And at a set point which will allow me to eat many f the things I like. Another pos. is that it focuses on pure, organic if possible small portions of food, which is a great thing for everyone.

Useful book!
