HCG Taco Seasoning
The HCG diet is a very restrictive diet with no deviations allowed & no substitutions are made in the diet meal allowances. This is done so that with a very limited calorie intake the HCG hormone that is introduced into the body starts acting on the stored fats in the body to turn them into useful energy. The calories from these stored fats balance out the calorie requirement of the body. While the list of meats, fruits & vegetables is limited Dr Simeon’s placed on restrictions on the use of seasonings. Any amount of seasoning is allowed & is up to the taste of the dieter.Is Taco seasoning Allowed during HCG Diet
HCG Taco seasoning is HCG approved only if the ingredients stated on the packaging are checked out. Some premixed seasoning can contain high levels of cornstarch, oils, maltodextrin & sugars that will slow down weight loss. A dieter must always be aware of the contents of prepackaged foods. A safe way is to use only fresh spices or seasoning.
