"Less than one month 'til cheese!" The hcg diet will go into phase 3 (stabilization) on Nov. 25--Thanksgiving. Today is Oct. 26. Can I make it? Or will I lose my mind, vault over the table, and forcibly remove my husband's peanut butter toast? We'll see.
Yesterday I went along for the ride on a few errands. I made them bagels w/cream cheese with accompanying snacks. I had two ounces of chicken, one apple, and four ounces of cucumber. My stomach was underwhelmed and kept asking me, "When's lunch?"
I need to talk to my doc again (however fruitless). I get *really* annoyed when all the press about the diet says: You won't feel hungry! You'll feel great! You'll lose 1-2# per day! Really, in my experience, which in this day and age is considerable given the newness of the hcg fad--it's a bunch of crap.
I feel starving, almost all the time. If I had any less energy, I'd be in a coma. And generally, if I'm lucky, it's half a pound. And this is with me following the diet with monastic devotion. So, either it's me (entirely possible), or the press is a bunch of hype luring the chronically heavy with its siren song, only to dash us against the rocks of reality.
