Day 24 HCG Diet: Almost There!

This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…

Day 18 HCG Diet + Amazing Support

Holy cow guys, we’re almost there! My weight is STILL the same. But my body shape IS different, and that’s the important part. I think. I got the most amazing, supportive card in the mail today, totally out of the blue: From a friend: Keep up the good work!! You can do it! … it…

Day 17 HCG Diet

Weight is sitting at the same it has been for the past four days. Boo! BUT stomach looks flatter, so it’s ok. I think. Breakfast (noon): Steak and eggs for breakfast! Coffee + zucchini, 1/2 bunch kale steam sauteed with two ounces steak and two egg whites. Also a few bites of my homemade coleslaw,…

Simeons (click here to read the whole study, you can bet I did), he cautions that endurance exercise may cause temporary weight gain due to water retention: Finally, the weight can temporarily increase – paradoxical…

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…
