Day 2 was the day after Thanksgiving, I am house sitting so I took a few leftovers for me and my husband. I think the HCG drops are making me not hungry. I had a hard time loading. I didn't really feel like eating. I finally downed a handful of deviled eggs. I hope it is enough.
During the loading phase you take the HCG drops, but you eat at much protein fats and anything else you can. The idea is to load up for the restricted diet protion, and to get your body efficiently burning fat.
The beauty of HCG is that you can lose fat instead of muscle on a very restricted diet - 500 calories! Normally your body would cannibalize the muscle, but the hormones help you keep the muscle and lose the fat.
I have another problem. There is no bathroom scale in this house. I know what I weighted on before loading. I spoke to a few others who all said they gained 2 lbs during the loading phase. I guess I will add to lbs. I was 189 before, so today my weight should be 191.
Oh my mom just finished her first week and lost 10.5 lbs! Way to go mom!
The reason I am so stoked about the 500 calorie diet is, not only the speed at wich you lose, but it is very encourageing when yhou see constant progress.
