Day Two of the HCG Diet: Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! My Thanksgiving went wonderfully even though I'm on the HCG Diet. But then I'm on the second day of my HCG diet which means that Thanksgiving was a loading day for me. I got to enjoy all the high calorie, fatty foods prevalent on Thanksgiving without messing up my dedication to follow the HCG protocol for weight loss.
I woke up and weighed myself (same as yesterday). Then I took my homeopathic HCG weight loss formula drops and my B-Total Sublingual drops. After waiting the required 15 minutes, I had cinnamon rolls for breakfast. And I didn't even limit myself to one since it IS a loading day. I'm supposed to eat a LOT of fatty foods so cinnamon rolls were the perfect place to start.
I was assigned to bring an apple pie to the family gathering in the afternoon so I set about making one. Since I was supposed to be loading I ate as much of the spiced apples as I wanted while I cooked. And since there was plenty of family all around also cooking and preparing their own assigned dishes for the late lunch/early dinner there were plenty of high calorie, fatty foods for me to pick at all day. In the midst of my picking and eating I did make sure to take my HCG 2 more times (morning and evening) with the required no eating/drinking for 15 minutes before and after.
When I was reading the booklet that came along with the HCG products I remember a list of common errors that decrease the amount of weight loss even if people think they are following the HCG protocol for weight loss. One of them was that people don't load enough high calorie, high fat foods during the first two "loading" days. Evidently it leads to increased hunger, crankiness and headaches during the diet.
I don't think I'll need any help being cranky or hungry and who wants to have headaches? So I'm really glad that Thanksgiving ensured I had plenty of high fat, high calorie food on hand. I am positive that I fulfilled the loading requirements quite nicely.
So far the HCG protocol for weight loss seems like a piece of cake (or pie since it's Thanksgiving). After I went to the big Thanksgiving dinner with my family and enjoyed all the traditional foods that we have every year I got home and took the weight loss formula again. Now I'm headed to bed and I'm trying not to think about the fact that tomorrow my big staple is going to be water and herbal tea. We'll see how it goes!
