Day 2 & 3 of VLCD

So,
I wasn't able to post yesterday. Oops! Anyways, here i will summarize how day 2 of vlcd went. I lost 4lbs. however i'm not sure because d. fixed the scale or reteared it to 0. it was reading slightly less. My start weight is slightly higher I guess, 213, and today I'm reading 206. That is 7 lbs lost in days of VLCD. NOt friggn bad. D on the other hands, is breaking rules left and right. he does admit to feeling fuller, but is not stopping the hcg or even trying to follow the protocol strict specific diet. So i have decided to make him am a comparison model to my own. He has not been losing as significantly as I have been. he has lost a lb or so.however, he does report to eating significantly less. My motivation is to prove to him once and for all, this diet has credibility.

That being said, eveybody should not be mistaken, this diet is not easy. It is difficult to not eat, when habitually for the last 30 years of my life, i have been partaking in whatever i please. you see this diet is built around dr. simeon's research, and that research is SPECIFIC. Alhtough it is a 500 calorie diet. it is also a very specific foods only 500 calorie diet. So most of you who think you can eat whatever you want, as long as it is under 500 calories. You are wrong. I am going to do Dr. Simeon's plan exactly. Which is really proving difficult because although you are not technicaly hungry. you definetly feel the cravings. your body i believe is detoxing, especially the first week of vlcd. So I compare it to withdrawals, if any of you have an addiction, you know what i'm talking about. FOOD is a DRUG. Especially nowadays, where food is specifically designed to taste better than it actually is. For example, MSG is highly addictive and completely damaging. Well that being said, food is a drug, and i've been doing "drugs" for a long time. And my body is shocked perhaps, and it is experiencing a withdrawal effect.

I have been experiencing incredible low energy, which has been reported among other hcg dieters. So it is not uncommon to feel different, to feel lackluster. That is how i have been feeling the past couple days. To me it is fascinating to see my body in this state. i know there are good things to come!! Until then, chaio babys!

ps-i have been drinking lots and lots of water....which helps alot!! Water heals!

Day 1 of VLCD

VLCD stands for very low calorie diet. And boy is it LOW. It's about 11pm and I'm FEELing kind've hungry. I just keep thinking about my load days, and how I would've stuffed myself some more. It's weird now that I know I'm not allowed certain foods, I am craving certain foods!! ahh...so annoying. oh well im sure others are feeling the same. I don't know Well, i am being honest, I wish I could eat a bunch of food. Although I am not starving, I am still craving. Like right now, Im thinking grill cheese!! hmm melted cheese. Grilled cheeses have always been my favorite. every since Denny's back in the day. WEird. Anyways D, my husband is loading 3 days. He is Mr. This is BS diet. He thinks it's not gonna work, and i gotta tell ya, he has been loading perfectly fine! Like nothing, he's eating, and eating, and eating....hoepfully this shiz will kick in for him. otherwise i will be skinny and beautiful, and him NOT. I am going to keep him on it. hopefully the hcg will kick in soon. *crossing fingers* he is still very supportive. He is such a sweety, salty sweet sometimes.

Meal 1: steak, broccoli (oops) and orange.
Mean 2: roast beef (in a can), sauteed onions, and still hungry. i will eat an apply right now.

Help! i am so hungry!

In the beginning,

10/16/07:
First of all, let me add that I have been researching this protocol forever!! Also waiting for the hcg took forever as well. i order from an canadian co, dd.ca, the echeck process ended up taking 2 weeks. It woul'dve taken longer if i hadn't complained to them. So they got with the program and sent me my hcg. i ordered 9.13 and recieved it 10.14. It was crazy waiting pd. for me. For some reason or another my dumbass decided to mix my sublingual formula with 4 ml of gin (alcohol) instead of 2 ml. I am doing a 20 ml, 250 ius split with my husband. Which gives us 20 days of hcg bliss. Now I'm really freaking out, thinking i killed my hcg with gin, so who knows. Didn't give up...I never give up, just my natures.

I loaded for 2.5 days. It was hard getting food down. But that did not stop me from eating. I ate In n out, cheeseburger meal, and boy did it feel great knowing full well I was eating for a good cause. Thinking back on it now, I highly suggest you enjoy these 2/3 loading days. It really it your last hurrah before your descendence into subconcious food hunger hell!!
