It is important to focus on foods high in fat, as these are the foods that will stock your normal fat reserves and lead to minimal to null hunger during your first week on the VLCD. Dr. Simeons gives the guideline “eat to capacity of the highest fat foods” – we interpret that to mean, “Eat until you are stuffed, and then eat high fat snacks in between.” A list of high fat foods you may include in your diet during loading are included in ThinNow HCG Diet Guide.

That being said, feel free to eat what you’d like on loading – including alcohol. These foods will not help accomplish the goal for the loading days, but there are no restrictions – so enjoy your favorite foods in addition to your high-fat foods!
