HCG Diet Day 7: Didn't Lose Anything Today :(

Kind of depressed this morning. I didn't lose anything. I've been loosing so much so fast, I guess I knew it couldn't continue. Still, it' a little frustrating not losing anything.

I went back and double checked what I ate yesterday but I was definitely below the 500 calories. I did have a late dinner yesterday and I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Made sure I was done eating today by 7:00, just to make sure that wasn't the issue.

HCG Diet Day 6: Getting Used to the Lower Volume of Food

I'm so excited. I was down another 2 pounds this morning. I've now lost five pounds from my original weight. I know things have to slow down but it's so much fun watching the weight drop off.

I had a good day today. I'm getting used to the volume of food. I don't feel the need for food as much as I feel the want of food. I've always had volume control issues (I enjoy eating.) and I think my struggles yesterday were more around not being able to eat when I usually do more than the amount I'm eating. We'll see how this goes.

HCG Diet Day 5: Down 3 Pounds Without Working Out? Miraculous...

Down 3 pounds this morning. This is miraculous. I'm not working out and the weight's just dropping off.

This has been a rough day. Yesterday, the first two days (day three & four) when I was eating the smaller portions, I didn't feel hungry at all. On day three I didn't even eat what little food I could. I just wasn't hungry. But today was different. This afternoon was rough. I always save my fruit as a dessert after each meal but today I ate my second apple in the afternoon to hold me over and I ate dinner as soon as I got home from work. The good news is that seemed to work. I wasn't hungry at all throughout the evening. I was a little nervous because I had eaten my allotment of food (so, I couldn't eat more) and I'm a late night muncher. I love to watch TV and chomp on my favorite snacks. None of that on this diet. Anyways, there was nothing to fear - no hunger pains and on the positive side I'm learning new TV watching habits. Hopefully, when this is done, I won't head for the snacks when my favorite TV shows start.

HCG Diet Day 4: Wow! I Was Down Six Pouinds

Wow! I was down 6 ½ pounds this morning. I'm almost back to my original weight after only one day. I'm very psyched today. Feeling really good.

Yesterday, I grilled up a bunch of chicken and have it portioned in the frig, so I don't have to cook anything today. I love tomatoes and love the size of the portion of veggies I get for each meal. I have always been a huge eater. I've joked with my friends that I was born without any nerves in my stomach, since I can eat and eat and never feel full. But that's all different now. It must be the hormone but I can eat a portion of the tomatoes and feel full.

Need to mention one of the reasons I decided to do my diet with Derma Health Institute. They have one of the best booklets I have seen on the hCG diet. It includes a great overview of what you need to know about hCG as well as a easy to use list of what foods I can eat, how much and what not to eat together. (For instance, you can’t mix veggies on this diet. If you have tomatoes, you can’t have cucumbers in the same meal. Only one veggie per meal.) The booklet also includes a daily diary where I can list my weight for the day, what foods I ate in each meal and what my total calorie count is. I went to a number of places before I landed with Derma Health and no one else had a booklet like this.

HCG Diet Day 3: I'm Up to 213 Pounds This Morning

I gained another three pounds yesterday and I'm up to 213 this morning. I am so happy to actually start the regular part of the diet. Right now, I don't care if I eat for the next 40 days. I am so done with food.

I wasn't really hungry at all today and the smaller portions of everything seemed almost too much. It was really weird having to weigh all my food. I grilled some chicken to give it some flavor without having to use spices. The portions (3.5 ounces) didn't look like much but when I actually ate it, it was filling.

I can’t tell you how helpful the Derma Health prep list is. It identifies everything you’ll need on the diet. It includes what kinds of soap (and make-up) you can use as well as what items you need, like a digital food scale. I got all this stuff before my diet started and it makes everything so easy now.

HCG Diet Day 2: Oh My Gosh! I'm Up Four Pounds Today

This diet better work.

Felt a little sluggish today. The fun of eating sort of became a chore. By noon I wasn't looking forward to eating and by 5:00 I wanted to stop eating completely. I am so ready to lose weight. This diet really gets you ready to lose the weight after forcing yourself to overeat on the foods you love. Seems like something a mad genius would come up with. I got to eat everything on my dream diet but don't even want to think about eating anymore by the end of the day. I can honestly say I am looking forward to not eating tomorrow.

HCG Diet Day 1: Well Here We Go! I Am So Excited

I have been trying to loose weight over the last few years to no-avail. Up until I was forty years old, I had never needed to go on a diet or really worry about my weight. I was always under 180 and ate whatever I wanted. But then I turned forty and something changed. Over the last years I've struggled to keep my weight down and tried this diet and that diet but none of them really worked. Now I am at 206, really looking to get back to all those pants I've saved but haven't worn in years.

To do this diet I have to take an injection each day of hCG. When I first learned this, I decided to pass on the diet. However, after a few more months of not being able to lose any weight, I decided to at least meet with one of the doctor's from Derma Health. She explained the program in detail and when the shot came up, she took out a shot and gave it to me (not with hCG) and I was surprised to find out, it didn't hurt at all.

Well, this morning was the first time I had to give the shot to myself and for some reason, I was terrified. I hate needles and sat with it an inch above my knee for two full minutes. I just couldn't poke myself. Finally, I did. I couldn't believe it. I didn't feel a thing. Nothing. Not even a slight poke.

Today has been a day of my dreams. I ate donuts, candy, ice cream and fast food all day long. My wife thinks the whole thing is wacky that I can eat all this "bad" food as part of the diet. According to the doctor the hormone needs an influx of fat to kick started and if I tried to 'minimize' the amount of fat I ate (to not gain weight) it could cause the diet to start slowly and lower the total amount of weight I can lose.

By the end of the day, I have to admit I felt a little bloated but not a bad first day.
