HCG Diet Day 5

Finally not ravenous!

Lunch was easy: salad bar and packet of tuna.

Dinner, I went to town at the grocery store and came home and prepped a ton of food. I made an HCG veggie soup (recipe to come soon), cauliflower frice, seasoned ground beef, and steamed broccolini.

Ground beef on scale

Many of you former Zoners recognize the food scale, but I had never in my whole life weighed my food before. I don’t like it, it’s obsessive. But for this diet I will. (I also eyeballed 3.5 ounces and got damn near close but a little over—had to throw three tiny balls of ground beef back into the pan)

Last night’s dinner isn’t all that different than a dinner I’d eat any night, except I’d probably double the portion of meat, which totally isn’t necessary. SEE, THESE are the lessons to learn on HCG? Portion size!

Cabbage soup + Mix of raw cauliflower frice, steamed broccolini, and ground beef (96% lean cooked in a cast iron skillet without any oil but with LOTS of seasonings!)

I also finally weighed myself today! For the first time, so I know that’s not the HCG protocol but there’s not a lot I can do about it, I have to go to the gym and sneak into the men’s restroom to use the scale (why don’t they have a scale in the women’s room? It may have something to do with the fact that there are only about 5 of us who work out there). Anyway, while I’m focusing on reshaping and will go with looks and clothes fit, I will now also be able to report pounds-lost progress—yay!
