Phase 2 Diet Menu
Menu Example
Weigh Yourself: Wake up, go potty, weigh yourself, and track it on your tracking sheet. This is EXTREMELY important to your success! Weigh and track everyday! You should measure as frequently as you like and track this, as well, and we recommend at least weekly. We all need to be reminded it’s Pounds and INCHES! Below is a sample of the Simeon’s daily diet plan.
Drops: Take 20 drops (1/2 dropper) under your tongue and leave it there for 2 minutes and then swallow the residue. Do not drink or eat anything 10 minutes before or after. You can take the drops 3-4 x a day, every 4 hours.
Breakfast:
Coffee/Tea/Water. 1 tablespoon of milk per day. Use Stevia for sweetener. If you need to eat, you can have one of your fruit choices. During the first week, you can even add in some egg whites in the morning. You will experience some cravings the first 4-5 days and the egg whites will help. Adding supplements also will help with cravings. Magnesium, calcium and L-glutamine are recommended.
Only 2 fruit servings are to be eaten in a day but can be spread out throughout the day as snacks.
Lunch:
100 grams (weigh raw) of lean beef, veal, chicken (boneless, skinless breast only), sea bass, flounder, sole, halibut, other fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp.
One vegetable – spinach, chard, beet greens, lettuce of any kind, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions – white, yellow, or red, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, or cabbage.
1 Grissini or Melba Toast
Snack:
One serving of fruit (orange, apple, 1/2 grapefruit, 10-12 large strawberries or 1.5 cups sliced)
Dinner: same as lunch but always vary your choice of foods to keep a variety.
100 grams (weigh raw) of lean beef, veal, chicken (boneless, skinless breast only), sea bass, flounder, sole, halibut, other fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp.
One vegetable – spinach, chard, beet greens, lettuce of any kind, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions – white, yellow, or red, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, or cabbage.
1 Grissini or Melba Toast
Track Calories: You must track calories and get as close to 500 as possible. This requires more veggies. Choose your two protein sources for the day and fruits and make up the rest of the calories in vegetables. Going under 500 calories causes stalls and hunger issues. (Click Here) for post on Tracking and its importance!!
Drink plenty of water and tea throughout the day. You are allowed 1 whole a lemon a day and seasonings of choice. Be sure to read our post on seasonings and teas.
Hello,
I see in the sample menu pictured above you gave chicken, green salad with Tomatoes….
Is that allowed? I'm trying to figure out this one line “One vegetable – spinach, asparagus, cabbage, tomatoes etc” wouldn't what's pictured above be concerned two vegetables with the green and the tomatoes?
I'm trying to figure out my menu for P2 and would like to get it right.
Thanks for all this info your site is truly a blessing.
Tomatoes are considered in most diets including this one to be a friut. the spinach is the veggie and the tomato is fruit. Hope that is helpful.
How much Spinach, asparagus, cabbage is allowed per day? Please help me, today is my second day VLCD, and because another website, I already messed up. I cooked a soup with chicken, onions and zucchini…I’m so STRESS!
When tomato is mixed with any veggies we count it as the fruit. You are
allowed two fruits a day so you would be able to add tomato to your salad.
I used onion flakes too because the whole not mixing veggies left for a
bland plate sometimes and this seemed to work well for me. Let us know how
you do!!

Can anyone supply a sample menu for the Phase two, I am very concerned because I live in Mexcio and products are not as accesible here. i am extremelyt board with the meals but keep going…..almost two weeks until the Phase two 3 weeks starts…i am very lost and feel in the dark but I am loosing weight. How come it doesnt mentione that you can mix a vegetable and count it as one fruit in the original protocal Pounds & Inches??? Help I dont want to gain weight back becaseu I dont know how to eat. thanks for any support
hi stephanie , email me pls @ angiecarrasco@msn.
A tomato is considered a fruit because of its seeds, if that helps any.
How much is a serving of vegetables and fruit for the weight loss phase of the diet?
Fruit is medium apple, medium sized strawberries etc. Veggies I did not limit them but are enough to finish my 500 calories like 1-2 cups of cabbage for example

I am having trouble eating 1800 calories on Phase 3. could you give me a sample menu for Phase 3 stabilization? Thank you
how much is a vegetable? quantity wise?
around 2 cups but it really depends on what kind so go by calories.. Get your two 100 g protein servings in and make up the rest of you calories in veggies to get 500
T we will get you on the right track 🙂

I am on round 1, phase 2, day 18 of the vlcd, and my totm has arrived. I would like to know if I could extend the drops for 1 more week, before starting the 3rd phase to achieve my weight loss goal. I have 10 more pounds to go.
You can go up to 40 days. 🙂
Are we allowed to have add salt to our food?
Yes, sea salt is best, but use it sparingly/in small amounts because it can cause water retention and show a gain on the scale.
It is important to stick to protocol. We would be glad to help. Come join

Sorry that was a typo it is 1T 🙂
I must be under my caloric intake regarding veggies. I am hungry most of the time. Can you please provide me with the scale for calorie counting that you mentioned please. I did email you about it but I haven’t heard anything back. Thank you.

I have about 60 lbs to lose. Everyone sounds like they do not need to lose as much as I do. I am 210 and 5 ft 7 in. My doctor says I am supposed to be 150 lbs. My cousin did this diet and lost 31 lbs in 35 days. I am trying to wrap my head around it all, but it is a little intimidating. I do have to say there seems to be such wonderful support from the diet coaches. . . I think I just have ti JUMP!
You would be surprised how many have lost over 100 lbs on this diet.. Come

Thanks Shawna. My current pressing issue is to go with drops or injections. There is a place called DietDoc by my house who swears the injections are more effective than the drops. Also, how important is the 2 week detox/cleanse before you start the diet. I have not started anything yet, getting over a wicked flu. WOuld love to hear what you think about drops vs. shots. Thanks!
I’ve seen where you can eat fat free cottage cheese for your protein. What is the amount and calories if you use it for your protein?
It is the same weight as the other proteins, 100gms.
Hello, got my drops today. I have been re reading everything, but I don’t know if i missed something, but wonder how long do i do phase1, then go into phase 2. I have to really gear myself up for this, cause I do not like meats/chicken etc.. i am eating a bit of fish like tiliapia or shrimp, but I don’t know how I am going to get the other proteins in. .. but most importantly, do i do phase 1 for a week or what? thanks for info!
Email me and I will go over all of the phases with you 🙂 miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com
Shawna Culp
can i put 5 drops in my mouth wait 2min put the other 5 in and wait 2 min and put the other 5 in? i can’t wait 2 mins to swallow all that at once.. it is hard to 2 min for any amount! ha
Yes but you need to taking 10 drops 6x a day or 20 drops 3x a day email if you need some help

That would be fine.
Round 1 Phase 2 Day 12 I’ve lost 20lbs so far. I’m struggling with two things.
1st- Been stuck for 3 days up a couple ounces, down and zero. Ketones are about 30-40.
2nd- I’m a career firefighter. The other day we had a lengthy extrication in the morning. Afterwards I was dizzy and really felt like I was going to pass out. Is there something I can do to after exertion?
Thanks
Your losses are great and above average. Email me I would like to look at
your menu so we can tweak the protein for when you are working..

I have lost 10 lbs so far and been on the drops for 7 days but this morning I weighed myself and I gained 2 lbs! can we have sprite zero or coke zero..since they are no calories? I had a few drinks last night spiced rum and coke zero. I think I gained water weight from the drinking.
no you cannot have soda or alcohol in p2 it will cause gains..
Thanks!
Can we eat broccoli?
Broccoli is not on the original protocol from P&I. There are some altered protocols that allow it but it does cause some people to stall
Tell me about your tablet and how you are mixing.. Also 2 bottles for 40 days of msd.. Let’s look at your currently formula before giving up on it though.. Could need an adjustment

I’ve been taking 10 drops 3 times a day – I see in here that you can take up to 96 drops a day! If I take more drops, will I lose more weight?
I need idea’s on how to curb morning hunger and light headedness. Does adding a third protein really hurt the results?
You likely need your dose adjusted but you can can add a little protein as well. Email support and we will get it figured out for you

What if you normally do not eat lunch or even as much food that is on the sample menu?
email me your menu so I can help miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com
I was told to take the drops before each meal but you have drops after dinner? Which is it? Im confused 🙂
Consistently in 24 hour period
I am new at this. I was just reading and it said that we could only have two fruits a day and told us if we needed to eat at breakfast to eat one of the fruits. Readings further down I found the example of the day …… it had a fruit for a snack and a fruit at lunch and and a fruit a supper. That’s 3 fruits.
not 2 fuits. I want to do this right. Please, what it right!
s
Fruit twice a day .. You can have them whenever works best for your schedule
Are there any substitutions for those who can not have gluten and will it hurt the results
Are there any substitutions for those who can not have gluten and will it hurt the results
I would leave it our since you will not be adding back in bread later
I would leave it our since you will not be adding back in bread later
I do eat Schaar Gluten Free breadsticks when on P2 (2 per day), but otherwise, do not eat grains. I am celiac but don’t do well on any grains except a little Quinoa (when on P4).
You say that there is a 23 day and a 43 day plan ….. can I go for 30 days, then start P3?
Also, why are these posts so old? Has this diet lost its momentum?
yes you can do 23 days.. and this site is 3 years old so there are old and new posts. You can join the support group and see how much momentum it has https://www.facebook.com/groups/LittleChoicesMatter/
It is very active 🙂
It looks like the salad-vege thing in the photo here is NOT P2 … is it?
Is the salad in the picture above actually P2?? It looks like it is not.
The picture is an example of chicken not the salad, it would only be for someone who mixed veggies in p2 which Carol does not recommended according to P&I
Can you take if you have high blood pressure
What happened to the orange? In the original protocol it says one of your fruit choices is a small orange.
you can have an orange. I am not sure if it is missing but it is on shopping list. This is an example day
Patricia you are fine 2-3 mins is typical. You can hold longer if you like
I thinkt he above example adds in an additional (3) fruits … I think you’re only allowed 2 at this phase.
Tina
This is an example menu of the different times you can sub in fruit. It specifically states two fruits per day in the text.. sorry for the confusion! 🙂
**
*Breakfast:*
Coffee/Tea/Water. 1 tablespoon of milk per day. Use Stevia for sweetener. If you need to eat, you can have one of your fruit choices.
Only 2 fruit servings are to be eaten in a day.
jUST WONDERING IS THERE A COMPLETE LIST OF WHAT FOODS ARE ALLOWED AVAILABLE?
Michele in P&I there is a complete list and the shopping list is a complete list of food items as well.
i’m on synthroid. do i keep taking it? and do i keep taking my vitamins? i start in a few days.
Yes stay on meds on protocol
I’ve been loading for two days, and I feel awful. Is the 3 day load necessary?
The only issue you may encounter is hunger first 4 days .. You could try healthy loading.. Use the search feature on blog to search healthy loading and there are recommendations
I’m new to the diet, started on Sunday and am wondering how important is it to take the drops 20 minutes after lunch and dinner. Today, I was waiting for the 20 minutes to pass, then I forgot and didn’t take them until 35 minutes later. Is this going to hurt my progress?
no you will be okay just try to be consistent in 24 hours with your dosing
Come join the support group we are there 24/7 to help you https://www.facebook.com/groups/LittleChoicesMatter/ Stalls are normal part of this process but we have many tips to make sure there are no errors occurring stalling you
Hi, I haven’t started the diet but I’m very interested (doing my research). I have weight that hasn’t left me since I was a kid and because of the weight I have back problems. I was wondering, if I’m taking pain medication will that stall or cause me to gain any weight?
Heather- many take pain medications for different reasons on protocol. It may cause slowing from time to time but overall the results are close to the same even if on daily use.
Cherelle- email miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com and I will look everything over for you
Hi..I am receiving my drops in the next few days and have been reading the posts. Im a bit confused…how do I weigh my veggies..and how much are we allowed? What is the caloric count? I understand that we are allowed 100 grams of protein 3x a day…2 fruit snacks a day..etc. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
Hi I had a total of 80poundsi wanted to lose after actually weighin myself is when I realized I needed to loose 100 pounds….I felt like I had nothing to lose and the diet seemed a lot more difficult then I’m used to but I went for it……I’m on day 26 and I’ve lost 31pounds so far no lie and its the best routine diet I’ve ever been on…..and I will continue until I reach my goal…..you guys it works

Hello. I”m starting the diet after Thanksgiving. I love crab and lobster, but I like them with lemon and butter. Are there any substitutes I can use for butter, ketchup and salad dressings that I can use on the diet? Also can I use imitation crab meat?
Thanks
Audrey
I would avoid imitation meats on protocol. You can make your own dressings there is a whole category for them under recipes top left of the blog. Butter I am afraid is out until after phase 2. Come join the support group https://www.facebook.com/groups/miracleskinnydrops/
I was curious why this page says take 20 drops and the meal site says 10. I’m 200lbs because I had a baby 3 months ago and I have done this diet before and was just below 140. I plan to get back to that in the next 6 months. This really works when I was using 10 drops before meals… Does using 20 makes difference or is it something that depends on the person?
Thank you
Melissia
I understand, 10drops 6x a day or 20 3x a day. Which is most common or best?
most common is 1/2 dropper 3-4x a day which is equal to 20, but some like to break it up throughout the day while others double up and do twice a day. It really depends on your schedule. I did twice a day dosing years ago. Most however do the 3-4x a day
you only do 10 if you are new to the hormone and need to let your body adjust. Loading dose 10 3-4x a day and once on low calorie day you increase it to 1/2 dropper which is 20 drops. This is where the dropper fills to.
When coming off the drops in phase 2 how many days do you stay at the 500 calories is it 2 or 3 days?
72 hours after last dose
On this example it shows for breakfast you take the drops before you eat. The rest of the example shows the drops after the meals. Does it matter if it is before or after?
does not matter.. you can take them either or just make it consistent daily- as much as you can
Can I blend my food in a vitamix? like one banana and lots of kale and cabbage with maybe coconut water?
Banana, Kale and Coconut water are not on phase 2 protocol- but in theory yes you can blend any phase 2 approved foods
I am new to this diet and I have a question. It says that you can have only 1 lemon a day, I usually juice 2 lemons for my 48oz water. That’s how I drink my water through out the day. Is it ok or not?
Thank you
Cut up one lemon into smaller slices and spread it out throughout the day- you need to have at least 2 liters of liquid per day and the juice of one lemon for protocol.
Can tomatoes be counted as a fruit and a vegetable.
technically yes. Tomatoes are a fruit and their carb count definitely puts it into a fruit category. Many chose to use this as a fruit over a vegetable for this reason
I’m having problems trying to get to my 500 calories each day. I do not eat any fruit or Melba. Can you suggest how much veggies I can add in and how many different kinds of veggies I can have in one day. I am one that cannot mix veggies or I gain weight. Any suggestions? Thank you!
You can add in as many as needed- veggies as snacks in between meals times is fine. If you need specific menu help email me and we can work on it together miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com
I remember there was a list with the approximate calories for protein, etc. Would you send me the link please?

I just recalculated my drops for the day and went significantly over 96 drops. Is this something I should be worried about?
no just lower them in range. the side effect of dose being too high is a little hunger
I’m in a country where lemon is hardly available. Would it be ok to substitute lime?
I would just leave it out. Lemon is optional

Hello,
I have been on Phase 2 for just over two weeks and have had good results. I find I am drinking a lot more coffee than I ever have to keep up my energy. I am a bit worried about consuming too much of it. I have heard of the great health benefits of substituting “bone broth” for coffee, but didn’t see any reference to any soups or broths on the site. Please let me know you thoughts.
you can use broth on p2 and homemade bone broth would be okay as well. MCT oil some use for energy along with b complex
I usually use injections, however I want to try the drops. How many days will 1 bottle yield? I’m looking to do a 40 day round.
Thank you,
you will need two bottles for a 40 day round.
I hear where people are on the 2nd, 3rd and even 4th round of the 2nd phase. What are the numbers??? At the end of the 40 days do you do 2 days of loading again and then start another 40 days??? Thank you in advance for your help,
I am starting but take prempo can I do that
yes it is fine to continue your meds
Hi Shawna,
My name is Jennifer. I’m 5’5 229 lbs. I carry my weight pretty evenly distributed. I am very active through out the day. I am bummed that I just found you now and not prior to purchasing the drops I am currently using. I purchased my drops from GNC based on a recommendation from a friend that has had success with them. I’m been on phase 2 for a week as of today! I’ve lost just over 4 lbs. , however, I thought I’d loose quicker. I’ve been following protocol based on a few suggestions but now after finding you, I’m wondering if I’ve been doing it correctly. I use the dosage on the dropper which is I believe 1ml 2xs a day. I cannot stand the take so I have to wash it down with a drink. I thought that ChrystalLite would be safe on the site because it is zero calorie. Is this false? I wonder if that is slowing me down. I also have been using a smige of cream in my coffee based on the milk rule. Is this also files? Could that be sabotaging my weightless as well? I saw your recipients for cho delights and am curious why the nuts ad coconut oil are safe for all phases? I thought we couldn’t use any oil?
I’d love to have some help from you. Since I’ve already purchased the GNC drops I’d like continue those. Do you know anything about them and if I’m using them properly? Help.. I want to get this right because I’ve made the commitment… But I’m hungry and think I should be losing more! Thanks so much. Jenn
