HCG Diet

HOW I GOT HERE

I never thought I’d agree with the HCG diet or be willing to give myself injections, but I do and I am.

I looked and searched and researched and could find NO actual evidence of anything bad happening because of hcg. Even at the dosage for fertility, I didn’t find anything. That surprised me. A lot!

I love my doctor and trust her. I do believe it’s important to know where your HCG is coming from and that injections are more pure and better. But I understand that it’s expensive and I would support anyone trying to lose weight and get healthy.

I’m not selling anything here and will never have an HCG product to promote.

Every time I tried to find information on HCG I wound up at a site selling a product. That’s fine, but it wasn’t what I wanted.

I want to focus on these next 40 days and get ready for the next phase. This is my life. This is an opportunity for me to make a change I’ve wanted to make for 30 years.

My doctor does a slightly higher calorie diet and I really approve of that. It’s more like 700-800 calories. Most of the negativity I found about this diet and even my own initial predjudice was about that 500 calorie diet. It just doesn’t sound healthy. I did an 800 calorie diet with Medifast and it was all food products containing chemicals and it’s so easy to regain and gain more after that diet.

This is much healthier and I hope to be an example of someone getting healthy, fit and changing their metabolism for good.

Charts for Success

Another first for me… Keeping track and actually crossing off ALL the days on the chart I made! It started with the 40 day HCG diet. It was just too specific and too strict not to utilize such a thing. Before I started, I couldn’t imagine making it to the end. Let me tell you,…

Correction Day!

This is the greatest concept and one of the best things I’ve gotten out of this whole HCG experience. The idea is simply that you monitor your weight daily and if you ever go more than 2 pounds over your (maintenance) weight, you do a Correction Day. You do it that day. You don’t wait…

Update: Diet, Cheat, etc…

So, I went up nearly 2 pounds Monday when I ate off my plan. I did eat salty string cheese at bedtime, not to mention LOTS of other things. I knew it would happen and I accepted it. For anyone who doesn’t know, I’m doing the HCG diet right now and I’m nearing the end…

PMS ate my willpower

Well, what are you gonna do? I was going along great…. feeling like super woman as I made wonderful meals for my family and baked healthy, delicious treats that I couldn’t eat. And I was so strong. Today was the day where my defenses cracked. It might be exactly what my body needs. Not the…

Week 11, Plus Size Bloggers update

Weight: 227 I can’t believe I’m only one week away from completing this challenge. My first successful one! I may do it again after this. I’m still in the 20′s…. breathing a bit easier with every pound. I’m finally to the point where I can stop kicking myself for gaining back that 30 pounds. I…

What is this Hypothalamus Hype?

Thanks to Munchberry for coming up with some good questions for me. She totally got me thinking about something I accepted pretty blindly (mostly because I didn’t have the focus for any more research.) And it is more about this Hypothalamus Hype. I didn’t even bother with the doctors office, because sometimes it can feel…

The 4 phases of my HCG diet

It’s hard for me to believe I’ve been doing this for nearly 4 weeks now. I love it and I can’t wait to prove to myself that I can keep this weight off and change my life and my health. I really needed this head start. Too many months and years of starting and failing,…

an alcoholic tending bar

That’s me these days in the kitchen. I mean, a recovering alcoholic tending bar, I suppose. Or maybe “a celibate in a whorehouse”. Whatever you like. The point is, I’m cooking up a storm of lovely, wonderful, healthy foods that I’m not able to eat at this point. I can’t believe it myself. It has…

Miles to go before I eat…

Here’s my new weight loss ticker. I got rid of my old one long ago because it was just stuck in place. Now that I’m on the move again, I’m so happy. So, I’m on day 8 of the VLCD (very low calorie diet) portion of my HCG diet. It is challenging. But it’s completely…

Food From A Distance

Maybe I should say, “food issues from a distance,” because now that I’m not eating it as much, I’m able to see more of what I was doing. I can tell you right now that if I wasn’t in a committed diet that I would be eating all day long. I love to eat all…
