Well…I haven’t had a chance to update this since I left last friday for my parents house for the Fourth of July weekend. I was kind of worried about how that would go since this weekend is typically known for partying on the lake and eating and drinking. My mom was really great about supporting me by preparing enough chicken, vegetables and fruit to get me through the weekend so that wasn’t a problem. On Friday when I got there she had filet mignon and vegetables ready (I saved my 1 red meat all week for this!) and then came the challenge..my step dad was whipping up margaritas behind the bar meanwhile I sucked down 2 liters of water..fun huh?
I got up the next morning and went for a 30 minute run which was great to really clear my head of all of the problems from the previous week and let me just refocus on my priorities. The rest of the day I stayed right on track with my diet and water however, after much internet research on the effects of having alcohol on this diet..I decided to try it myself so I made a Rum and Diet Coke using 1 oz of Bacardi and 1 can of diet coke. The interesting part was that about half way through it I noticed that I was feeling kind of nauseuos and really didn’t even feel like finishing it although I can say that the effects WERE much stronger! So that part is true..and not necessarily a bad thing..makes me a pretty cheap date at this point haha. But..after I finished that drink I decided that I really wasn’t interested in drinking anymore..and much to my surprise, I got up the next morning and weighed in with a 1 lbs weight loss!! So..no harm..no foul!
The weekend went relatively smoothly although I did realize some important things about myself…that most of the calories I consumed in the past were out of habit and boredom. On my 5 hour drive up there and back home, I packed fruit, chicken, carrots and plenty of water (not good for the bathroom stops!!!) so that I wouldn’t get hungry. But when my daughter and I stopped at a convenience store and she got a donut and fruit punch..I realized that had I not been on the protocol, I probably would have eaten some sort of unhealthy junk..not too mention the inevitable fast food stop on the way. So..it was a much needed change and a healthy dose of reality. But all in all..I came home 2lbs less for the weekend…and I consider that a SUCCESS!!

OH!! If you don’t know about this program..you HAVE to! It is a lifesaver..literally, I only learned about 3 weeks ago..and started it last monday..so far I am down almost 15 lbs..yes in 9 days..I can’t believe it!
go to www.hcgdietinfo.com and read up on it, then feel free to ask me any questions you have =)
Dangerous.
not a very healthy way to go.. I wish you luck
I tend to get a little defensive when people make these comments and have to tell myself that you obviously haven’t researched the program and are not educated on how the process works and WHY or HOW you are able to lose so much weight so rapidly. Because if you HAD done your homework, you would know that the hcg directly attacks the excess fat cells thus releasing them into the body to be used as fuel..which is the SAME process that a pregnant woman goes thru except the fat cells are released and transported to the placenta to nourish the baby. This process does not attack the ‘good fat’ around the organs and does not attack muscle. ONLY excess fat.
There are no side effects to this program since the hCG is a naturally occuring bio identical hormone and the injected amount are not even anywhere near the large amount produced when you are pregnant, and I’ve never heard anyone say that pregnancy is not healthy..or unsafe.
This chemical reaction in your body that is caused by the hcg is the reason that heavier women gain less weight than thinner women in pregnancy..b/c they are actually using alot more of their own existing fat cells to nourish the baby.
I advise anyone interested in the program..or how it works..or even those who oppose the program to be sure and educate yourself on it first before commenting =)
