Day 16 HCG Diet + No Sugar Cravings?
Two weeks down, just one more week of 500 calorie, no-fat eating left! … it gives me a new appreciation for fat. Butter and coconut milk in particular, for my healthy cooking. Butter for sauteeing, coconut milk for curries, soups, and more. I also can’t wait to eat spaghetti squash again, and not to have…
HCG Diet Day 14 – “It is intense, and I didn’t really expect it to be”
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…

We spent most of the day at the hospital supporting a friend, our…

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…
