HCG Diet Beef Stew Recipe

The HCG Diet Recipe

This HCG Diet beef stew recipe is a great go-to option on the HCG diet and it is a very filling way to get your protein serving in. This recipe also makes several servings in spite of using the recommended 100 grams of protein, so you can split it up into multiple meals and still have 100 grams of protein left over for use in another meal.

The ingredients are easy to find and you probably have most of them at home already, and all of the seasonings used in this recipe are approved by the HCG diet protocol. Use a low fat cut of steak for this recipe such as lean top sirloin or another lean cut, and try to find organic meat. This soup can be served with an optional Melba toast which goes nicely with it.
