My HCG Low Calorie Diet

By Amelia Handley

Today was my first day on the very low calorie diet portion of the homeopathic HCG diet. I'm not going to lie to you; it was really tough. I don't think I took in enough water. But that's something that I'm just going to have to keep working on.

First thing I did the day after Thanksgiving was weigh myself. I was up a pound (171). I figure that's normal since I've been loading for the last two days. I took my homeopathic HCG formula and my B-Total. Then I offered all the Thanksgiving leftovers to the kids for breakfast. After they took their fill I tossed the rest. That was a temptation that I wouldn't be able to stare at for the next several days without breaking.

Then I had some water. I tried some green tea sweetened with Vanilla Creme Stevia. It was alright, but I'm not attached. And it would definitely be nice if I was attached since it's basically the only freebie on the HCG diet besides water. But I figured I couldn't go wrong by drinking water since according to a lot of the homeopathic HCG reviews that's one of the easiest mistakes to make; not drinking enough water.

So by the time lunch rolled around I was starving. From now on I definitely need to make lunch before I'm starving. By the time it was done I absolutely scarfed it down. My kids are home from school for the holiday so it was an added difficulty to make their food (they wanted grilled cheese sandwiches).

But I stuck with my own lunch. I made myself I romaine lettuce and tomato salad. I sprayed a pan with non-stick cooking spray and threw some chicken seasoned with Creole seasoning (no sugar) in to cook. It turned out really good. I was starving, but I think it really was pretty amazing considering how simple it was to make. I'm really liking that Creole seasoning. With the chicken and salad I had strawberries.

Lisa came over and we made dinner together. (She's my competition during the 25 day diet; whichever one of us loses more weight gets a new pair of jeans courtesy of the other). We put together a recipe from the cookbook from HCG Diet Direct: Shake and Bake Tilapia. It was yummy. It wasn't just diet yummy; it was REALLY yummy. The non-dieters at the table agreed. I almost forgot...I also correctly took my HCG drops and B-Total sublingual vitamin throughout the day as I was supposed to according to the diet requirements. So for the first day of the low calorie diet I'm feeling I did quite well. We'll see how tomorrow goes... - 17268
