I guess I sort of thought this was going to be easy. That the HCG would just make me not hungry, and I wouldn’t think about food all the time. I might even forget to eat. But I’m not like that. I like to cook and bake, so much so that That Ripped Guy of…

HCG Diet Day 13 – More Than Halfway!
11 days of restricted eating down, 10 more to go! Took a day off from exercise, finally (although I did walk the dog for about an hour), and wasn’t as hungry. Forgot to take the drops until about 1pm. Was thrilled to make spaghetti for dinner with my Miracle Noodles and ate very little but…
HCG Diet Day 12 + Paleo Scallop Scampi Recipe
At first it was really fun keeping a daily diary of my HCG diet. Now it’s just kind of tedious. Except I was really excited about finding Miracle Noodles! But I think it’s important, and hopefully helping others! Weight: down 3 pounds from yesterday and the lowest I’ve weighed since I started weighing, but not…
HCG Diet Day 10
Torture = Cooking Paleo Pad Thai for your friends, and roasting brussel sprouts and measuring out packaged crab for yourself. Not that the later wasn’t delicious, but it was a true test of resilience to cook with forbidden ingredients. I couldn’t even like a finger or a spoon with peanut butter. Le sigh. Today was…
Day 9 of the HCG Diet
I’ve been at the 500-calorie part for a full week now. It’s still weird, but getting used to it. It’s hard when my friends come into today and we’re talking about dinner and I feel like I’m holding everyone back from going out to eat and going our drinking. It’s hard when I’m walking through…
HCG Diet Day 8
Breakfast (at 2p, old habits die hard): cauliflower rice, kale, ground beef + packaged tuna 3.5 ounces Snack: apple Gym: weight the same as yesterday. Did a CrossFit OneWorld workout: 21-15-9 155# deadlift, 40# kb swing, with 100 single unders between rounds. 10:11. Tired afterward. Dinner: whole raw yellow squash, ate it like a banana.…
HCG Diet Day 7
Technically, this is the 5th day of the diet part of the HCG Diet. The first 2 are loading, and the more I don’t eat now the more I wish I had eaten then … an oreo brownie? a BeauJo’s veggie pizza? Chocolove chocolate bars are on sale? Man I could have eaten all that…
HCG Diet Day 6
Unexpectedly on a road trip from Aspen to Denver, I snarfed cabbage soup for breakfast before we left and packed an apple and leftover dinner from the night before for lunch, assuming finding a salad with meat would be easy for dinner. We spent most of the day at the hospital supporting a friend, our…
HCG Diet Day 5
Finally not ravenous! Lunch was easy: salad bar and packet of tuna. Dinner, I went to town at the grocery store and came home and prepped a ton of food. I made an HCG veggie soup (recipe to come soon), cauliflower frice, seasoned ground beef, and steamed broccolini. Many of you former Zoners recognize the…
My HCG Journey
I’m doing it. I’ve debated a lot about “telling” the blog. Because even though I’m doing the homeopathic HCG diet, it’s still a very controversial extremely low-calorie one. The even more controversial one uses injections of a pregnancy hormone. A trusted advisor suggested I do this homeopathic version of the HCG diet, and I’m nothing…
