So today is day 15 of the HCG diet. I'm on a 25 day program so I've completed a substantial portion of the program. The diet consumer reviews that I've read insisted that the halfway point was key. They insisted that once you got there you had your habits set and you could go off routine. They said you'd naturally reach for veggies and fruits and that I'd automatically prepare my foods using healthy methods.
So that just goes to show that all the diet consumer reviews you read out there aren't going to be 100% accurate because I disagree. It's not exactly what I'd call easier. I think I feel comfortable saying that I'm more capable of sticking to the rules at this point because I've learned a few tricks and recipes, but there's still that definite temptation to NOT do it.
So I guess that's improvement. Rather than being at a state of "easiness" as indicated by the diet consumer reviews I'm at a state of "awareness." And that's a good step, I'd say. This morning I got on the scale and I was at 156; that's a 3 pound drop. I found it very exciting!
My HCG and B-Total was taken as recommended throughout the day. Although I broke my normal routine and didn't take my B-Total until late afternoon. Usually I take it first thing in the morning. It's one of the additional products that I found mentioned in the diet consumer reviews. And this time I totally agree with the reviews. It's a great addition to the HCG.
My green onion burger at lunch was perfect with half a grapefruit. The Melba Toasts I laid out for lunch ended up hanging around there for an hour or two until I ate them mid-afternoon. I was so glad that I ran across another grocery store in the area that carries the Spicy 3 Pepper variety of Melba Toasts. They blow all the other flavors out of the water!
For dinner I had the taco salad from the cookbook. It was good; not my favorite, but alright. That's probably just because Taco Salad is a classic dish that I grew up with and it's amazingly yummy the way I remember having it throughout my childhood and the HCG version just veered too far away from what I already knew. But it's worth a try for anyone looking for quick, easy, healthy meals that the whole family can eat. - 30414
