Thinking About the HCG Diet...

By Amelia Handley

You're in luck. I'm volunteering myself for your online analysis while I subject myself to one of the most stringent (and effective) diets on the market. The diet that I'm talking about is the HCG diet. Some dieters opt for the HCG diet Weight Loss Clinics. I, myself, decided to go for the online (so very convenient) options offered by HCG Diet Direct.

I started off with research. It's the perfect place to begin. You should always know as much as possible about a diet before you jump in! I googled HCG. I read what came up: articles, press releases, testimonials, everything. It's very enlightening!

But that wasn't enough. After that I decided I needed to know the EXACT requirements of the diet. Naysayers say it's SO hard! And I don't believe in unnecessary punishments. The first thing I discovered is that I don't need a prescription; which is fabulous! No insurance means I avoid doctors offices and pharmacies as much as possible. The HCG diet weight loss clinics I tried first required prescriptions so this was a pleasant surprise for me. I also loved the fact that it's all natural.

There was plenty of detailed information on their site about the diet: its origins, its recent popularity surge, its effects (and lack of side effects). I appreciated that the site was well laid out and easy to navigate. (I also appreciated the "immediacy" of the entire process. I really dislike waiting and I think I'd dislike waiting even more if it was in one of the many HCG diet weight loss clinics I've heard about).

After reading all the information I could get a hold of online I felt sure that I had a good idea what I was getting into! And I was really looking forward to the 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss that it offers to the average dieter. (I swear that I'm going to actually follow through on the diet as strictly as possible; you're welcome to hold me to that promise in the days to come).

I felt pretty ready at this point. But then I had the same old, same old problem of nervous lack of motivation and procrastination. So I made a bet with a friend. It works wonders. I suggested we do it together and whoever breaks the diet has to buy the other one a new pair of jeans (since we're going to lose all this weight...it seemed pretty logical).

So as soon as she decides she's in (she used the excuse that she had to pass it by her husband) we'll set a date and get going. And once we get going...you'll be able to watch my progress online through daily articles that outline all my fabulously successful weight loss results (my fingers are crossed for luck right now). I'm a positive thinker. So watch for the upcoming play by play. You don't want to miss it! - 30414
