What did I eat my first day off of the HCG diet?

Well let me tell you: 1 cup hot cocoa made with heavy cream, cacao, and sugar, with a splash of coconut rum and frangelico. Splurge! Pad Thai from Sundeck … I ordered it just with veggies and shrimp (no noodles) but the peanut sauce and its inevitable accompanying sugar are a splurge. 1 bloody mary [...]

HCG “Steak Day” Update and a Bam! Workout

On the HCG diet, if you gain 2 or more pounds from the weight you ended the HCG drops at, you have to do a Steak Day, where you eat nothing all day until dinner when you have the largest steak possible and an apple. After bingeing two nights ago on the most amazing flax [...]

Day 24 HCG Diet: Almost There!

This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG [...]

Day 23 HCG Diet: I Stink

Literally. I stink. Have I hit ketosis? Am I eating too much garlic? Because I stink. I shower, I get out, and a smell radiates from my pores that is not the sweet scent of body wash (which, incidentally, I can’t use because you can’t use anything containing oils while on the hcg diet), but [...]

Weighed the same this morning. Cannot break this one number. Going to keep continuing until I do! Breakfast (11a): small apple Lunch (2p): salad, orange bell pepper, 1/2 bunch kale, 3.5 ounces chicken Snack (5p): went to happy hour at a place where they have incredible fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Ordered a small glass, SO DELICIOUS. [...]

HCG Diet Day 21

Well, I weighed in the same as yesterday. I look and feel good but cannot break this weight!! UGH!! You have to take the last three days off from taking HCG, and I took it this morning, so I’m at least extending an extra day. Will see how I feel, if I feel like I’m [...]

Day 20 HCG Diet

I’m finally down a pound!! Wahoo!! … maybe due to the stomach issues last night? Haha. Hopefully I can continue to lose a pound a day until this thing is done. You also have the option of extending to 40 days. Should I? We’ll see. Breakfast: coffee 45-minute walk with the dog Lunch (2p): Salad [...]

Day 19 HCG Diet

I am pleased to note that I am breaking habits … like the habit where you get back in from something (skiing, walking, shopping, running errands, whatever) and feel like it’s time for a snack. Am I really hungry? I don’t know, it’s just snack time! Thanks, after-school snacks, for ingraining that in my brain. [...]
