HCG Recipes: Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Chocolate BallsI

These low carb chocolate peanut butter balls are a lifesaver for me. They are actually better tasting than the store bought chocolates we all love that also have cancer causing ingredients that help to preserve them and keep them on the shelf longer. If only I found this recipe before I ate those 4 little chocolates on Halloween which made me go up something like 3 pounds. Ugh! Oh well I know what to do the next time I have a craving for chocolate.

Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 heaping tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt

Preparation:

1) Melt the chocolate. I like to pour boiling water over it, let it sit for 2-3 minutes, and then pour the water off. That way I know I won't burn the chocolate. Sounds crazy but it works!

2) Mix in the rest of the ingredients, adjusting coconut sugar to taste.

3) Cool to room temperature, take a tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls and dust with cinnamon and coconut sugar.

You can also dip them into your own homemade whip cream and they are to die for.

Just this much of the recipe gives me enough to have a few of these every night for the whole week.

***Note*** I originally wrote this article in 2009. Today it is 2016 and since initially writing this I have learned and discovered much more about the HCG diet. Today I make this recipe with coconut sugar and not artificial sweeteners so I updated this recipe as well. The reason is that it has less of an affect on our glucose levels and it is a safer option for diabetics. So in other words it won't cause my weight to rise like regular processed white sugars would. At the same time I am trying to lose and maintain my weight and not blow up like a balloon I also want to live free of cancer so I have completely removed all artificial sweeteners from my diet and I now use raw organic honey very sparingly because it is obnoxiously sweet and coconut sugar when needed. I like this version so much better than the previous version of artificial ingredients. I hope you enjoy it too.

Who I am

I found this diet in 2009 at that time I weighed over 300 pounds and thought this was the most ridiculous diet I had heard of to date however, I was desperate to lose. I had always been a very active person and always battled what I considered to be a weight problem of 10-20 lbs in excess. When I was pregnant with my daughter is when my weight problem shifted from a 10-20 pound problem into a 100+ pound problem. For 20 years I battled the extra 100 pounds and I had tried almost every diet known to mankind at that point and I was ready to try anything.

I gave HCG injections a try even though I never thought it would work and started immediately noticing amazing results but I was completely bored with the foods that were available. As I researched more about the diet I came across communities of other HCG Dieters sharing their stories and the results of the foods they were eating and the effect these foods had on the scale.

Those results drove me to research and start experimenting on myself as well as others. I had 170 pounds to lose and I couldn't imagine doing it with a piece of hamburger and cucumber for every meal.

I started working with doctors and nurses to come up with better meal plans that would keep us satisfied on the diet. I learned to use the South Beach Diet along with the use of HCG injections for the ultimate weight loss experience that I had ever had in my life and I was helping others to achieve the same results even though most were half my size. I lost over 110 pounds this way without having to weigh or measure my foods and soon I was helping thousands of others across all platforms of social media obtain the same amazing results. Imagine, actually being able to eat food and lose weight at the same time.

I love to take unhealthy recipes and turn them into recipes that can be used for the P2 phase (losing phase) of the diet. My team often helps me research and perfect many of these recipes. All the recipes shared here have proven to work on the HCG diet.
