So today is day 15 of the HCG diet. I'm on a 25 day program so I've completed a substantial portion of the program. The diet consumer reviews that I've read insisted that the halfway point was key. They insisted that once you got there you had your habits set and you could go off routine. They said you'd naturally reach for veggies and fruits and that I'd automatically prepare my foods using healthy methods.
So today is day 15 of the HCG diet. I'm on a 25 day program so I've completed a substantial portion of the program. The diet consumer reviews that I've read insisted that the halfway point was key. They insisted that once you got there you had your habits set and you could go off routine. They said you'd naturally reach for veggies and fruits and that I'd automatically prepare my foods using healthy methods. So that just goes to show that all the diet consumer reviews you read out there aren't going to be 100% accurate because I disagree. It's not exactly what I'd call easier. I think I feel comfortable saying that I'm more capable of sticking to the rules at this point because I've learned a few tricks and recipes, but there's still that definite temptation to NOT do it. But that's an improvement, right? At least I'm not constantly giving in to the temptation to break the rules! I'm aware of the rules and I'm aware of my ability to stick to them. The question has become whether or not I will! Today I weighed in at 156. I lost 3 pounds. Wahoo! I love those days. I took my HCG three times and my B-Total once. I didn't take my B-Total vitamin supplement until mid afternoon. (I usually take it in the morning, but it can be done throughout the day as long as you take it once a day. It's optional in the HCG protocol, but I find it very useful). I read about this option in the diet consumer reviews prior to starting the diet. Lunch was a green onion burger and half of a grapefruit. The grapefruit wasn't very good. I'm not sure why, but it just wasn't nearly as yummy as the last one I had. I had my Melba Toasts as a snack midway through the day. I was able to discover more of the Spicy 3 Pepper Melba Toasts at a nearby grocery store so that was good. They're so much more yummy than any of the other flavors. I delved into the HCG Diet Direct cookbook again at dinner. I made the Taco Salad. I was a bit disappointed, but that's what I get for expecting it to be anything like what my Mom used to make growing up. I loved her Taco Salad. But Doritos just aren't approved for the HCG diet and Melba Toasts just can't quite compare in a dish that I'm very used to having on a regular basis. So try it yourself; my dislike for the Taco Salad is definitely a personal problem! About the Author: Amelia Handley studied exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition.
