I had to step on the scale several times because I just couldn't believe it. 4 lbs after a 3.5 lbs loss day just amazes me. I am starting to believe that, like all of the folks I have been following on the forums that are losing 25-45 lbs in 23-40 days, this COULD WORK FOR ME!!! How cool is that!
Well today was much better, headache gone, no fighting the urge to eat. I haven't been hungry since I started, just a few days of fighting the urge to have something that wasn't on plan. But I stuck it out and it seems the urges have passed.
My guess is it's similar to low carb plans, it takes a few days for your body to deplete its carbs stores, then starts living off your fat. And when you have depleted those stores, you are no longer hungry and have lots of energy. Can you tell I have done low carb before haha.
Well, that is about all I got today. I have more energy so I am off to do some things around the house.
Cant wait to see what the scale shows tomorrow !
R1P2D4, 292.0, -3.5, TOTAL -4.0 - got a dang headache
Well, that is no surprise as I lost 3.5 lbs yesterday and I normally get headaches when starting a low carb diet. And this is low carb, low cal, no diet coke, etc. But I also know from experience that this will pass in a day or two.
I am not missing my diet cokes, which is odd, as I had been drinking more diet coke than water prior to starting my HCG plan. I am having more coffee and tea though. And trying real hard to get my water in, but so far have only managed about 70 ounces a day.
Still not hungry today, but did feel a little mental "I want something else" about mid day. But it passed and I am thinking tomorrow will be easier. The headache is now just mild now compared to the raging one from earlier today.
I did use a few spritz of ICBINB on my fish tonight. Some folks report that the can use it in P2 without issue, some can't. So I will see tomorrow morning how that went. I really doubt that I will use it again anyway, as it didn't really add much to the taste. But I do need to find some seasoning for fish. Chicken and beef, no problemo, I have lots of Ms Dash for those. I am just not used to cooking fish.
Its been a long day trying to get this blog started, so time to go nighty night. Cant wait to see what my weight is tomorrow :)

R1P2D3, 295.5, +0.5, TOTAL -0.5 - let the weight loss BEGIN !
Ok, today is first day of VLCD and excited to get started!
I am a little nervous, as I have never been on a diet with this low of calorie intake. I did medifast which is 1000-1200 calories and 80-100 grams of carbs. Lots of protein through out the day though, which was good for my hypoglycemia.
For breakfast I had an apple, and although I was not hungry and it seemed like enough, my blood sugar immediately took a dive, and I was a cranky puss. I need to combine fruits with protein because of my hypoglycemia and new this might be a problem. But I wanted to see if the HCG would help with that or not. Nope, it didn't, so moving forward, I will need to split my protein from lunch/dinner into 4 so I can have with my fruit for breakfast and fruit for evening snack.
The HCG is supposed to help with hunger, which it has, help you to burn your fat, which time will tell, and to help reset your metabolism. I have read great things from many places that this really works, so I just need to follow the food plan and walk the walk.
I did well today, not hungry, but in the late afternoon/evening found myself mentally wanting food. I know from other diets that this will pass so I just need to ride it out.
In my morning weight in I lost 3.5 lbs ! I have never lost that much in one day. WOW !!
