Article 18: Day 4 on HCG's Low Calorie Diet
First things first...have you ever heard of Ranking.com or TrustGauge.com? I have. And let me tell you...it's kind of a big deal for a site to get noticed by them in a positive way. And I got a google alert letting me know that HCG Diet Direct not only got ranked #1 in the diet and weight loss category at Ranking.com, but they're also awarded 10 out of 10 on the Trust Gauge scale. That's impressive. So, of course, I forwarded the info to my diet buddy, Lisa's, husband. He was a hater from the start and I think this will really bug him. I love being right.
But enough of that extra chatter. We'll get right on to the basics of how I did on Day 4. And actually I feel I need to clarify that it's actually Day 6 of the diet. The first two were loading days so I've been on the low calorie portion of the diet for 4 days. Loading was so different from the low calorie portion that I tend to blow it off as if it wasn't part of the diet, but it's apparently a very important part of the program.
So...instead of saying Day 4 I'll say it's Day 6! I got up and weighed myself. I went up, dang it! I'm at 164 pounds now. It's only fair, I suppose. I did fall off the wagon on Saturday (only for 5 minutes, but it was 5 minutes that involved Chick-Fil-A and Panda Express and that's substantial even if it's only a few bites). As punishment I'm no longer allowed in the mall food court until the diet is complete. I'm honest enough to admit that I'm not strong enough to sit and watch the kids eat their lunches and stick to water. Yikes! Don't hate me; at least I admit it!
But I'm not depressed. It's just one pound. And the HCG diet reviews say sometimes that happens. I drank a lot of water today. For lunch I had Turkey Chili again. Individually packaged leftovers are a lifesaver. I just whipped it into the microwave and presto! I had an almost instant HCG approved meal. I paired it with Melba Toast (Spicy 3 Pepper variety) and an apple with lemon.
I continued to try to drink a lot of water (I even went to the nearest Walmart to buy huge, plastic cups that I could keep filled up and cart around the house with me). I took my HCG again about 6 and then got ready to try a new HCG recipe. This time I tried the Rosemary and Chicken. It was alright. But then...I didn't notice that I was supposed to marinate the chicken until it was almost time to eat so I kind of skipped what was probably a pretty vital step. So I'll have to try that one again.
The other "new" thing I tried today was Red Zinger tea. I'm still struggling to find an herbal tea that I can get attached to; so far no dice. This one was better than Green Tea, but nothing I'd smile about. I'll have to check out some more HCG diet reviews and see if there's some type of herbal tea out there that everyone loves. Too bad I can't just substitute hot chocolate, but that would be defeating the entire purpose. - 17268
