Taking on the homeopathic diet can be scary. It’s a very low calorie diet (500 calories per day). That’s a severe limit. Dieters who have never been on a very low calorie diet before have a hard time actually imaging the strict nature of the caloric limit.

The strict nature of the diet makes any tips or tools even more vital. Experts suggest that dieters recognize the merits of the tools and tips that are offered by reputable outlets. Sticking to the rules exactly maximizes weight loss result. One very helpful tool is the homeopathic HCG shopping list.

For instance, try the shopping list the HCG Diet Direct provides for the local health food store (there’s a separate list for the traditional grocery store):

-Stash brand Green Tea: try pomegranate/raspberry or mangosteen

-Liquid Stevia (popular flavors are plain, vanilla creme, apricot nectar and orange).

-Multi-vitamin: this is always a good idea, but especially when you’re on a low calorie diet.

-A good B complex like B6 or B12

-Moisturizer spray (na-pca). Lotion isn’t allowed on the diet.

-Apple Cider Vinegar (unfiltered). It’s used often during the diet to make sauces, etc.

-Sea Salt provides dieters with more salt taste with less salt in their system. Since salt encourages water retention this is a very good thing.

Accessing the above shopping list for the local health food store in addition to the other shopping lists provided by HCG Diet Direct will get dieters off on the right foot. Having the foods and other items necessary to succeed on hand when they’re needed greatly elevates the chances of success on the diet. And when the limit is 500 calories per day…the more advantages you can take advantage of the better!
