The 24th Day on HCG

By Amelia Handley

Today is my second to last day on the HCG diet. It's day 24 in my 25 day program. It's very, very exciting to know that I've nearly completed the program. Once I complete the low calorie portion of the diet I just have to complete the program with the maintenance program. But limiting myself to 1500 calories per day is nothing in comparison to the 500 calories per day that I've been sticking to for the last few weeks.

I got up and weighed myself. I'm at 151 pounds. So that's down one more pound from yesterday. I stored my scale back under my bed so that it will be handy for morning.

The fact that I don't take the oral HCG wholesale in the last few days of the low calorie diet kind of threw me off a little bit. I'm so used to doing it; it's so routine at this point. But I do still take my B-Total in the morning. It was a little bit of a high stress day for me so I took it again in the afternoon. It says in the instructions that you can take it as needed for extra energy or during times of stress. I think it's a really handy supplement.

I know I said that I was going to try each and every smoothie in the HCG Diet Direct cookbook (the cookbook is my second favorite tool offered by the company in addition to their oral HCG wholesale), but I just don't feel like it! It got cold and the smoothies are just not sounding good during the cold weather. You'll have to try them for yourselves. Although the kids still ask for Orange Slush so that means it gets the highest of reviews.

I had steak with onions for lunch. I also tried a new flavor of tea. It was pomegranate. It was definitely better than Green Tea. I had a grapefruit and Melba Toasts for a snack later in the afternoon as well as another cup of tea. It would probably be quite excellent with honey. But with a teensy bit of Stevia it was alright.

I had more tea for dinner with my grilled chicken and asparagus and Melba Toasts. And I had some strawberries a little later. It was a good day pretty much all around. Since it's almost the end of the low calorie diet I feel like I should be perfect. - 17274
