I got my HCG kit. It came by mail yesterday. I immediately unpacked it and gave you a quick rundown in yesterday's article of each of the products. I ordered the homeopathic HCG weight loss formula and the B-Total Sublingual. But I didn't say much about the actual HCG protocol for weight loss as contained within their included instruction manual. So that's what you have to look forward to for today.
It starts off with a little bit of info about the HCG diet in general. It basically went over the basics outlining my (and probably your) negative relationship with food and the reasons for it (society, bad habits, convenience foods, etc). Then it went over how following the HCG protocol for weight loss changes that relationship. It discusses the HCG's interactions with the body and how the lack of appropriate HCG levels in our bodies has created an obesity issue in a large portion of today's society.
It continues with some general advice. One specific piece of advice was not to be surprised by no weight loss one day followed by drastic drops the next day. This is due to the way HCG interacts with the body. Empty fat cells are often filled with water prior to being absorbed and the body simply does it on its own time. So water retention may deflect the weight loss temporarily.
Another good section to discover in the book was the Helpful Hints and Products section. One helpful hint was to avoid salt. It apparently increases your probability to retain water. It also suggested that you can't use lotions and moisturizers on the HCG diet. They've got oils and fats in them that negate your purpose. And another helpful hint was buffalo. They said it's a very healthy meat and that you should check at your local health food store to see if they carry it. It will give you a bit of extra variety between your steak, chicken and fish.
And THEN they started to get right down to it outlining the HCG protocol for weight loss. First I have to say that they did say absolutely no diet soda or Crystal Light. I'm disappointed, but I understand. It's definitely not good for me, I've always known that. But they don't allow it on the diet because of the type of sweetener it uses. You're also not allowed gums or mints. We already discussed how lotions and moisturizers are outlawed. You also can't include butter or oil or any sort of dressing that has any oil or fat in it with any of your foods. The rules for taking the drops are simple. You have to take them three times per day. Each time you take the designated amount and hold it under your tongue for 15 seconds before swallowing. You don't eat or drink for 15 minutes before you take it. And you don't eat or drink for 15 minutes after you take it.
There were many more helpful hints and I'm sure I'll share some more. You'll have to keep reading the upcoming articles outlining my progress on the HCG diet. It should get even more exciting here soon. I start the day before Thanksgiving! - 30414
