6 Meatless Beta HCG diet recipes

In countries where cottage cheese made from skimmed milk is available 100 grams may occasionally be used instead of the meat, but no other cheeses are allowed.

Cottage cheese is often eaten straight where it is like the curds of the nursery rhyme food "curds and whey".

100 grams of cottage cheese contains 72 calories.

Some people following the diet may want to substitute this for various reasons:
1. Convenience... does not need to be cooked
2. You are tired of eating meat
3. You need food high in Calcium
