HCG Diet Day 5
My continuing saga with the hcg diet

DAY 5 - HUNGRY - YESH - Weight 240.4

Okay, today has been easier, but I'm still hungry most of the time. My husband is also on this diet, but he is only doing it to cleanse his body of toxins and to lose just about 15 lbs or so. He's struggling with this even more in some ways than me. But then he's never in his life dieted before so it's not familiar territory to him. Diets are hard for anyone, dieting all your life is EVIL and I can already see the end of my fatty days using this HCG Diet plan.

It is so great to see the scale every morning with more weight off. Woo! I don't expect this to happen everyday, but it's encouraging to already be 3 lbs less than before I started this diet.

Here's a few suggestions that I didn't include before.

Things to Get BEFORE you start the HCG Diet:

1. An inside griller like the one that GeorgeForman represents. There are several brands. His new one is more expensive. The one we bought was just $20.00. And TOTALLY worth it. My husband was resistant on getting this. He didn't think we needed any more gadgets. However, the first two days I had to fry everything and frying without oil just cramps the whole process. So, do yourself a favor and get a grill.

2. Buy a weight scale that also tracks your fat and water percentage. I'm not going to post those stats but I will tell you that I have already lost 2% fat and gained some water weight which is great. What it tells me is that I'm reallly losing fat, not water weight. It's important for your phychie to get the full picture. Some of you may be fine with just a regular scale, and that's ok too. I have just been really happy seeing the fat percentage change with just a few days of the hcg diet plan.

3. Before you start, you need to buy the following items without toxins in them:

bar soap, shampoo, dish washing soap or gloves, which is what I am doing. Seems like the natural dishwashing liquids have an oil in them. You don't want anything with oil to touch your skin. Oh, and use baking soda for deoderant.

Next time I'll give you some of my recipies. They are very simple, but hey, every little bit helps. Pictures coming soon. It will require that I do some work as I'm only giving you a siloutte. However, you will see some pretty cool results. Using a siloette will allow me to place the skinnier me over the starting me.

DAY 6 - ARG !!!! Weight 239.4

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hungry! This has been the worst day for hunger so far. I've decided to eat my apple in the morning about 2 hours after I wake up. I wake up sometimes so early, like 4:30 - 5:30 am that I can't wait till lunch to eat.

Day 7 - Hungry - STILL... Weight 238.8

Not as bad as yesterday, but still here. I spread my apple snack out by eating half at a time. I also grab a small organic tomato if needed for another snack. I just don't eat it for lunch or dinner.

DAY 8 - Hunger is not so bad today. Weight 237.0

My hunger in the morning was off the chart so I ate my apple around 8:00 am. I was up since 5:30 so I needed to eat something to stop my stomach from constantly nagging me. After that, the rest of the day wasn't as bad for hunger as it's been. I'm STILL hungry, but it's not overwhelming.

So, I hope you're getting a good grip on what to expect by now. You must be TOTALLY COMMITTED. My friends said it was about 10 days before they stopped having horrible hunger pangs.

I am totally amazed at the constant daily loss of weight here. I'm not going to be remeasuing until the second week. I will not retake my body fat until 20 lbs are gone as well. The nurse said there really isn't an accurate measurement until after 20 lbs.
