Day 17 HCG Diet
Weight is sitting at the same it has been for the past four days. Boo! BUT stomach looks flatter, so it’s ok. I think. Breakfast (noon): Steak and eggs for breakfast! Coffee + zucchini, 1/2 bunch kale steam sauteed with two ounces steak and two egg whites. Also a few bites of my homemade coleslaw,…

Everyone Should Try Miracle Noodles
You guys might not know this, but I used to be a noodle fanatic. Growing up, I would eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else.

Butter for sauteeing, coconut milk for curries, soups, and more. I also can’t wait to eat spaghetti squash again, and not to have…

HCG Diet Day 14 – “It is intense, and I didn’t really expect it to be”
I guess I sort of thought this was going to be easy. That the HCG would just make me not hungry, and I wouldn’t think about food all the time. I might even forget to eat. But I’m not like that. I like to cook and bake, so much so that That Ripped Guy of…
Recipe: Untraditional Chicken Veggie Miracle Noodle Soup
I just wanted to share this super easy recipe because I don’t think most people think of putting chard in chicken soup, but it’s amazing. Not only does it almost entirely reduce the need to salt the soup, but it packs quite the veggie punch without changing the taste. In a pot, dump: A box…
