HCG Diet Recipes

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that aids the normal development of an egg in a woman’s ovary. It is usually produced during pregnancy and it works by actively stimulating the release of the egg during ovulation.

Sometimes the hCG hormone may not be sufficient enough in the body to be able to perform its required functions. When this happens, the use of hCG injections can be introduced to help revive the hormones. The hCG injection is a hormone that is commonly used to treat infertility in women and it also helps to increase the sperm count in men.

When taking the hCG injection, you’re required to follow a strict diet plan. Unlike other diet plans where the proverbial cheat day can be tolerated, i.e., a day when you temporarily deviate from your diet plan and eat whatever you want; cheat days are highly discouraged when you’re on an hCG injections diet.

The hCG diet plan focuses mainly on meals that help boost fertility. This article explores some of the various meals that make up the hCG diet and the respective recipes that accompany them. Basically, when cooking for hCG diet, your recipes should include one or more of the following:
