My HCG Low Calorie Diet

By Amelia Handley

Well...today was my third day on the HCG diet. So it was my first day on the very low calorie diet that accompanies the homeopathic HCG weight loss formula. It was pretty tough to stick to the calorie limitation. But I expected that after all the homeopathic HCG reviews I read before deciding to do it. I also read homeopathic HCG reviews that indicated it was really hard to take in enough water as required by the diet, but now I know what they were talking about. I'm definitely going to have to work on drinking more water.

I was up one pound when I weighed this morning. So I'm at 171. That's not that big of a deal since my weight goes back and forth a lot. And it's doubly not surprising because I've been loading for two days (as required by the HCG diet). I immediately got rid of all the Thanksgiving day leftovers (I fed them to the kids).

Then I had some water. I tried some green tea sweetened with Vanilla Creme Stevia. It was alright, but I'm not attached. And it would definitely be nice if I was attached since it's basically the only freebie on the HCG diet besides water. But I figured I couldn't go wrong by drinking water since according to a lot of the homeopathic HCG reviews that's one of the easiest mistakes to make; not drinking enough water.

So by the time lunch rolled around I was starving. From now on I definitely need to make lunch before I'm starving. By the time it was done I absolutely scarfed it down. My kids are home from school for the holiday so it was an added difficulty to make their food (they wanted grilled cheese sandwiches).

But I stuck with my own lunch. I made myself I romaine lettuce and tomato salad. I sprayed a pan with non-stick cooking spray and threw some chicken seasoned with Creole seasoning (no sugar) in to cook. It turned out really good. I was starving, but I think it really was pretty amazing considering how simple it was to make. I'm really liking that Creole seasoning. With the chicken and salad I had strawberries.

Lisa (my HCG dieting buddy/competitor) came over for dinner. We had Shake and Bake Tilapia. We got the recipe from the HCG Diet Direct Cookbook and it was really good. Even the dinner guests who aren't on HCG were loving the fish. Amidst the yummy HCG approved foods I was able to successfully maneuver so that I got the HCG drops in as required and I took my B-Total Sublingual in the morning. I'm giving myself an A for Day 3. - 17269
