HCG Diet & Chips: What You Need to Know

The hCG diet, also known as the human chorionic gonadotropin diet, is a weight-loss plan that involves eating a very low-calorie diet (VLCD) while taking hCG, a hormone produced by pregnant women. The diet is based on the theory that hCG helps to release stored fat and burn calories, while also suppressing appetite.

Chips are not permitted on the hCG diet, because they are a "cheat meal."

Chips are high in calories and carbohydrates, and low in nutrients. They can also be addictive and difficult to stop eating.

Alternative snacks:

- Celery with cream cheese.

- Cucumber slices with hummus.

- Bell pepper slices with guacamole.

- Hard-boiled eggs.

- Nuts and seeds.

- Greek yogurt with berries.
