The HCG Low Calorie Diet, Day 4
First things first...have you ever heard of Ranking.com or TrustGauge.com? I have. And let me tell you...it's kind of a big deal for a site to get noticed by them in a positive way. And I got a google alert letting me know that HCG Diet Direct not only got ranked #1 in the diet and weight loss category at Ranking.com, but they're also awarded 10 out of 10 on the Trust Gauge scale. That's impressive. So, of course, I forwarded the info to my diet buddy, Lisa's, husband. He was a hater from the start and I think this will really bug him. I love being right.
Now on to the next item on the agenda. I've created a bit of confusion with the numbering of my days on the diet. I'll clarify. I've actually been on the diet for 6 days. I've been on the low calorie portion of the diet for 4 days. There were 2 days in the beginning that were definitely NOT low calorie days. They're called loading days. They talked about it in all the HCG diet reviews, but it was definitely a unique experience. You have to eat as much high calorie, high fat foods as possible. It helps your body absorb the HCG.
Day 6 on the diet I got up and weight myself and I went up. Dang it! Now I'm at 164 pounds. I figure this is only just punishment for when I fell off the plan for about 5 minutes on Saturday. I've sworn not to step foot in another mall food court until the diet is completed; regardless of my intentions of not eating. The temptation is apparently just too great!
I didn't let the gain get me down. I took my HCG and I tried to drink a lot of water. For lunch I had one of my "leftovers." Whenever I make one of the recipes I try to make extra and save them in individual sized Tupperware. That makes it easy to pull out, warm up and have HCG approved lunch or dinner within minutes. It's very handy. You should try it. This time I had Turkey Chili. With the chili I had Spicy 3 Pepper Melba Toasts and an apple with lemon. You'll be surprised how different the apple is after you cut it up and squeeze lemon on top. It's yummy.
I bought some huge (not very cute, but HUGE) plastic cups that I've been using to make sure I get enough water throughout the day. I fill one up and cart it around with me throughout the day so I always have a massive amount of easily accessible water on hand. I think it's helping me get more water in. For dinner I attempted a new recipe: Rosemary and Chicken. And I totally messed it up. Apparently marinating is important (who knew, right?) I'll have to try that one again later.
I also attempted to get attached to a new kind of tea. It was called Red Zinger. It was MUCH better than the Green Tea I tried originally, but I still can't say I like it. It's more of a guzzle it fast to get it down and then think about something else so it doesn't try to come back up kind of thing. So I'll try another flavor sometime soon. Maybe I can access some of the HCG diet reviews online and find some new herbal tea flavors that others really enjoyed. If only hot chocolate were an option...not THAT I can definitely get attached to. - 17274
