Article 17: Day Three on VLCD
Now on to the good stuff. I did weigh myself this morning. And even though I broke plan yesterday and had food that are definitely NOT HCG approved (like chicken nuggets and buffalo sauce) I went down. I weighed in at 163 pounds. So that's great.
After I weighed myself I took my B-Total and my HCG drops. I whipped out my booklet that came with my products and gave it a quick read through. Then I got online and looked up Dr. Simeons protocol. I decided to call the hcg weight loss cure guide a supplemental guide to Dr. Simeons HCG cure protocol ebook. That's how I ended up spending the morning reading it online. I decided that maybe I'd be less likely to break the diet if I read more of the background information.
I didn't really read anything new. (I did do a lot of research prior to deciding to do the diet). But it was good to refresh my memory of the protocol after yesterday's momentary (but very thorough) lapse from HCG approved foods to deep fried chicken with Chick-Fil-a Buffalo Sauce. Anyway! I'm nowhere near a Chick-Fil-a today so that's ancient history.
I took my second set of HCG drops before noon. I made turkey chili for lunch (lots of fresh tomatoes). I always find that any soup I make with fresh tomatoes in it turns out really tasty. And so far that's so true when it comes to the recipes in the HCG cookbook! I'll also give you a tip regarding the Melba Toast. Try the Spicy 3 Pepper flavor. They're amazing. I think I'll like them even when I'm not on the diet. They're definitely WAY better than the original. I had a snack in the afternoon...an apple (Gala are my favorite).
For dinner I had grilled chicken seasoned with Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning (after I took my HCG, of course). The Creole seasoning is a classic that we should all keep stocked in our pantries. If you don't love it; I'll be shocked. With the chicken we had asparagus and for dessert we had strawberries. I made enough for all of us since the kids really like chicken and I thought they should attempt to eat asparagus. They've never had it before. It didn't go over very well with them, but I thought it was pretty good. I drank a ton of water because I had to stay up late to work and I couldn't have any type of snack. So that's probably a good thing. Even though I'll be waking up to go to the bathroom constantly tonight, I'm sure! - 17269
