It's the First HCG Day: Article-
Today was my first day on my 25 day HCG diet. I'm taking HCG Diet Direct's homeopathic HCG weight loss formula and following their homeopathic HCG protocol. It wasn't bad! It was pretty fun, actually. But then I'll need to clarify that the first two days are loading days.
That means that for the first two days you're supposed to eat as many high fat and high calorie foods as possible; thus the name "loading." It was pretty enjoyable to eat whatever I want and for once reach for the yummiest thing on the table instead of the thing that I should probably have instead. Nice! Maybe by tomorrow night I'll be so sick of all the high fat, high calorie food that I'll be more than ready to cut back to 500 calories for the remainder of the 25 day diet. I can hope, right?
According to the homeopathic HCG protocol the loading days have a purpose other than as a great send off for the low cal days to follow. They give the body time to absorb the HCG. Even during the loading days you are required to take your HCG three time per day. I took mine morning, lunch and evening. You can't eat or drink before or after you take it for 15 minutes and you have to hold it under your tongue for 15 seconds before you swallow it and go on about your day. I didn't have a hard time remembering it, but it was only the first day.
The formula does need to be kept in a cool place so it could be a tiny bit problematic if you have to cart it around in the summer. But for right now I can cart it around anywhere and it's going to stay cool enough because it's winter. So that's an advantage of doing the diet in the winter season; less worry about storage.
My routine on the first day was really quite simple. I got out of bed. I weighed myself and noted down I was at 170. I took my HCG and my B-Total (and additional vitamin supplement I bought from HCG Diet Direct). Then I went ahead and made sure that ate frequently throughout the day. I also made sure to enjoy a few of my all time favorites that are going to be definite "no-no's" while on the diet.
So I've successfully completed my first day on the HCG diet. It was absolutely easy. Although I fear the low calorie part of it is going to be a much more difficult prospect for me. But for today...I don't have to worry about that. It's all about loading! - 17269
