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…

HCG Diet Day 13 – More Than Halfway!

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…

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…
