Still Rolling on HCG…Day 16!
I’ve got less than 10 days left on the low calorie portion of the HCG diet. That makes Day 16 one of my favorites so far. Here’s a quick reminder of the program layout. It started off with 2 days of loading. Loading is eating a whole lot of food with a whole lot of fat content and therefore calories. While loading you start taking your HCG three times daily. It’s supposed to increase the ability of the body to absorb the HCG product. After loading you start a 500 calorie per day portion of the diet. I chose to do the program that had me dieting for 23 days, but there are different lengths you can choose from.
After the low calorie portion of the diet the maintenance diet kicks in. On the maintenance you apparently can eat as much as you want of anything you want up to 1500 calories per day and excluding a pretty short list of items. You can’t have sweeteners: sugar, dextrose, honey, molasses, artificial sweeteners, corn syrups, etc. You also can’t have any nitrites, fast food or Trans fat. And you can’t have any starch whatsoever. Man I’m going to miss homemade bread by the time this is all over. Or maybe I won’t even like it anymore…who knows?
That’s a pretty extensive exception, I know. But after the 500 calorie diet it sounds like heaven. I’m so used to limiting myself that the 1500 calorie per day maintenance diet is going to be a breeze; at least that’s what I’m hoping. And it helps that the restrictive diet is actually working; seeing your weight drop is fabulous incentive to keep going.
Alright so now that we’ve had that nice little recap from loading to low calorie to HCG maintenance diet we can move on. Today I weighed in at 156. I know! I did so good yesterday and no weight loss. I decided to add some green tea in (which I did…YUCK!) and try to drink a lot more water. I think I messed up with my water intake yesterday. I didn’t fill a pitcher first thing in the morning so I don’t really know how much I drank.
I took my drops (both HCG and B-Total) as required throughout the day. I don’t think the timing is that difficult. It sounded annoying at first, but 15 minutes of no food/drink before and after isn’t really that big of a deal. I go 15 minutes without food/drink all the time.
Today I ate another green onion burger for lunch (leftovers) with the other half of the grapefruit I had yesterday and Melba Toasts. For dinner I had the last of the grilled chicken I had in the fridge (leftovers again). And I drank so much water that I was afraid I might make myself throw up. So I’m crossing my fingers that tomorrow I’ll see weight loss again.
