HCG Diet Day 13 – More Than Halfway!
11 days of restricted eating down, 10 more to go! Took a day off from exercise, finally (although I did walk the dog for about an hour), and wasn’t as hungry. Forgot to take the drops until about 1pm. Was thrilled to make spaghetti for dinner with my Miracle Noodles and ate very little but…
HCG Diet Day 12 + Paleo Scallop Scampi Recipe
At first it was really fun keeping a daily diary of my HCG diet. Now it’s just kind of tedious. Except I was really excited about finding Miracle Noodles! But I think it’s important, and hopefully helping others! Weight: down 3 pounds from yesterday and the lowest I’ve weighed since I started weighing, but not…
OMG Miracle Noodles
Miracles. Literally. Miracle Noodles. I have always loved noodles. I used to eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else, because I loved them so much. Needless to say, since then I’ve tried a lot of noodle substitutes. I love spaghetti squash noodles. I can tolerate kelp noodles but they’re…
States by Food: The United Plates
How adorable/awesome are these? … maybe Colorado’s is a little less awesome. But there is a Denver Omlette, so it makes sense. John Holcomb is, either way, a genius. Here for the rest of the fiddy states and to order prints (just $30!). [Thanks DailyCandy for the heads up!]
HCG Diet Day 11
I weighed in two pounds up this morning. Now, in the original HCG study published by Dr. A. T. W. Simeons (click here to read the whole study, you can bet I did), he cautions that endurance exercise may cause temporary weight gain due to water retention: Finally, the weight can temporarily increase – paradoxical…
Aspen: ASPEN Magazine and Challenge Aspen Party
Challenge Aspen is a great organization, the $30 suggested donation is totally worth it.
HCG Diet Day 10
Torture = Cooking Paleo Pad Thai for your friends, and roasting brussel sprouts and measuring out packaged crab for yourself. Not that the later wasn’t delicious, but it was a true test of resilience to cook with forbidden ingredients. I couldn’t even like a finger or a spoon with peanut butter. Le sigh. Today was…
Day 9 of the HCG Diet
I’ve been at the 500-calorie part for a full week now. It’s still weird, but getting used to it. It’s hard when my friends come into today and we’re talking about dinner and I feel like I’m holding everyone back from going out to eat and going our drinking. It’s hard when I’m walking through…
Austin: New Elizabeth Street Cafe
They’ve successfully done barbecue and upscale seafood, so why not add Vietnamese? Lamberts and Perla’s co-cwners Larry McGuire and Thomas Moorman have launched a new restaurant group (McGuire Moorman Hospitality) and announced a new restaurant called Elizabeth Street Café, a casual eatery serving simple Vietnamese cuisine in an environment inspired by a cozy French neighborhood café. Housed in the…
