This is a hard post to write, because I wanted the HCG Diet to work. I believed in it, I followed the rules to a T, and it did work. But 2 1/2 weeks later the pounds have snuck back on, and all the sudden I’m not as slim as I was and I’m back…

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…
Last day of the HCG diet!
Today, my friends, is Day 46 of the HCG diet, day 21 of phase 3, the primal hypothalamus-resetting stage. Wahoo! What will you eat tomorrow, Lyssa? I don’t know, anonymous blog reader asking the question. I am trying to decide. What do I miss this most? I honestly don’t miss much. I miss wine the…
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…

HCG Diet Day 26 (Day 1 Strict Primal): All the Food I Ate
I had a lovely time eating today. I don’t expect to be this food-obsessed in the future, but it was nice to play with how much fat and food I could eat. I did get MUCH fuller MUCH faster, so I didn’t eat THAT much. Breakfast (10am): leftover kebab meat and spinach cooked in raw…
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 25 HCG Diet: Wahoo!
Yesterday was the final day of the hcg drops portion of the diet AND I’m down a pound! I can’t wait to eat … coconut milk, butter, cheese!! And I can’t wait to put on lip balm and lotion. LOTS of it!! Last day on drops (but not really on drops) 500 calorie day: Lunch…
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…
Day 22 HCG Diet
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.…
