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…
HCG Diet Day 14 – “It is intense, and I didn’t really expect it to be”
I guess I sort of thought this was going to be easy. That the HCG would just make me not hungry, and I wouldn’t think about food all the time. I might even forget to eat. But I’m not like that. I like to cook and bake, so much so that That Ripped Guy of…
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…

HCG Diet Day 6
Unexpectedly on a road trip from Aspen to Denver, I snarfed cabbage soup for breakfast before we left and packed an apple and leftover dinner from the night before for lunch, assuming finding a salad with meat would be easy for dinner. We spent most of the day at the hospital supporting a friend, our…
My HCG Journey
I’m doing it. I’ve debated a lot about “telling” the blog. Because even though I’m doing the homeopathic HCG diet, it’s still a very controversial extremely low-calorie one. The even more controversial one uses injections of a pregnancy hormone. A trusted advisor suggested I do this homeopathic version of the HCG diet, and I’m nothing…
Dr Pepper eats (drinks?) its words
In March, Dr Pepper said that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the infamous Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy”–which began recording 1994–went on sale in 2008. The album drops this Sunday. “We never thought this day would come,” says Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper’s vice president of marketing. “But now…
