QP on The HCG Diet...

Thanks to our fearless leader Lexxx I too am now on the HCG Diet.  For those that have not heard or know about it here is how it goes ...the short short version.  You take the HCG drops 3 times a day with B12 drops once a day.  Your only to eat 500 calories per day (yeah freaked when I heard that too).  Instead of telling you what you can have in the 500 calorie day, it's better to tell you what you can't have.  Cheese, pork of any kind, lunch meat, marbled steaks, butter, bread or breading of any kind, rice, cake, cookies, pies, milk (no ice cream).  So basically everything you love to have on a regular you must quit cold turkey.   Or load up on during your loading days.  So if you think you can handle this don't go stacking your pantry with all the goodies to stair at you or call your name in the middle of the night.  Don't try and start if you know you are going to be pigging out at an upcoming cook out.  Yeah put that sloppy bar-b-qued rib down and drop the potato salad.  Just make sure you can set aside 23-24 days of emptyness (acually 26 total if count your 2-3 days of loading).  So here is week one for me...

Week 1 is in and I got a little less than 3 weeks more to go.  And so far so good.  I am down 10 pounds in 7 days.  I opted to do the 3 day load up sooooooooo actually it's 10 pounds in 4 days!  I hate to tell anyone that I am on a diet.  Only so I don't have to run and hide if I want to treat myself to something other than a cardboard flavored meal.  But to hell with that I am proud of the results thus far and will not deprive myself of a little indulgence.  I do watch how much of it I eat.  You may just want a bite just to satisfy that urge and then it's over. I am finding after a 2 bites, I am done and proceed back to my regularly scheduled diet.  I am now getting the questions of side effects.  The positives to the negative so to speak for week one.  The up side: yes I am down in weight and lower in blood pressure.  And my clothes are starting to fit looser and my neck waddle is starting to fade.  The down side: The oils are coming out and all over my face!  Sometimes my face feels like the left over bacon grease left in the pan.  I can't watch ANY food commercials anymore (and it seems like there are more of them jokers since I started this diet).  And last but not least I'm about ready to kill anyone that says "YOUR NOT ALLOWD TO EAT THAT".  First of all I am 38 years old, and second I am allowed to eat anything that I want to shovel in my mouth!  I suggest that you don't go putting anything like a finger near my mouth or you will draw back a nub.  And do you know how many calories I had today or even how many calories is in what I am eating?  No, then sit your skinny ass down and let me do my diet my way!  Even with the side cheat I am still loosing weight.  Now I don't recommend that you run out and get anything that will derail your diet.  But, if you are in tune with your body like I am then do you.  Cause you can best believe that imma do me.  And if my body says that I want a cod fish sandwhich then my body will get it.  I know that if I have a treat here and there, that there is a better chance of success in my diet.  This is not my first go around with a diet but it will be my last.  I only have 20 more pounds to go and the chances are better that I will see my ideal weight than another failed attempt. 

If you think that this is somthing that you can handle see Lexxx with the Durty Truth and get your bottle of HCG the soon to be called mirlce worker diet.  For now this is week one, in and done.  Stay tuned for week two...  oh and pics to come once I am done. QP
