My Second Week: Preparing for the HCG Diet
We're all set. Lisa and I both ordered our HCG products from HCG Diet Direct last night. She stuck to the basics: enough homeopathic HCG weight loss formula to last her for a 25 day program. I got the same plus B-Total Sublingual and the cookbook. She's pretty sneaky (and I'm a pretty nice friend) so I bet she'll get most of the advantages of the cookbook through me, but I've totally got an edge with the B-Total Sublingual.
I've got an edge, but I don't think it's cheating because I absolutely tried to talk her into getting B-Total. She knew I ordered it when we both ordered our HCG diet kits. So while I've got an edge...I wouldn't call it an unfair edge.
We both thought the ordering process was perfectly understandable and easy. We just got online, went to HCGDietDirect.com and clicked on the Buy Products link. Then we added the products we wanted to purchase to our online carts and then checked out. We both paid online using Visa credit cards. The site was secure and we both received email receipts for our transactions immediately.
And even more impressive...I got a second email telling me that my order had already been prepped and was ready to ship. And that was only a few hours after my initial order. That's quick moving on their part! I haven't talked to Lisa so I'm not sure if her's was handled so quickly, but if not same day then I would guess it will be ready for shipment next day. And that's pretty cool.
We're thinking our HCG diet kits should get here within the week for sure since the order was handled so quickly. So we're happy about that. We're probably even happier about the fact that HCG Diet Direct was having a sale when we ordered plus I found an online coupon code that gave us 20% off our total order. YES! I love saving money. Our next step was to pick a start date. After looking at the calendar we decided that we obviously wanted to fit the strictest part of the program between Thanksgiving and Christmas. And we figured that Thanksgiving was a great loading day (the first 2 days of the diet require lots of eating and lots of fatty foods). So we're thinking the day before Thanksgiving.
So our HCG diet kits are in the mail and we've set a date to start the HCG diet. We're starting the day before Thanksgiving. That way the whole Thanksgiving thing won't be a huge deal and the 25 days will be complete right before Christmas so we'll at least be able to enjoy a bit more of the Christmas time "eating" than if we were still in the middle of the actual diet. We'll still be in maintenance phase at Christmas, but that's far better than 500 calories per day.

With HCG Diet Direct she's found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
