Well I lost a pound from load day 1. Some folks gain a lot on their load days, but I am really trying to focus on high fat, and to minimize the carbs and sugar. You can have the carbs and sugar, but the main goal is to load the fat. And I just don't want to have to lose anymore than I have to. But I will let myself have one carb/sugar treat that I won't be having for awhile - ice cream.
Ok, 3/4 lb of bacon, 1/2 can of cashews, a chili dog and onion rings, and a pint of low sugar ice cream. Man oh man, did I have to force that down. I am just not hungry at ALL. The chili dog and onion rings had me feeling like oil was oozing out of my pores - nasty nasty. But it did taste good :)
Well, the result was a 1/2 lb gain, so not to bad considering all the junk I ate. Am excited to get started tomorrow on the VLCD (very low cal diet) and get the weight loss phase going.
I am shooting for a 40 day cycle to start, followed by a 21 day Phase 3 stabalization period. Then a few more cycles of the same. Most people lose between 25-45 lbs on a 40 day cycle if they have a good amount to lose. My hopes are high that this initial round will be enough to make it easier to start mild work outs again. I miss working out SOOOO bad, but after the back injury, just walking can trigger the pain again. I am sure getting some of this weight off will help me to at least start walking again.
R1P2D1, 296.0, START(LOAD DAY1) - Excited to get started!
Well I was excited to get started, but nervous to give myself an injection for the first time. But after reading all the info in the "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide" by Linda Prinster, and all the info on my favorite HCG forums, I sucked it up and gave it a whirl.
It really was easy to mix, and the shot didn't even hurt. All that fretting over nothing. HA!
Day 1 is supposed to be a LOAD DAY, and I had big plans of all the fattening foods I was going to eat (yes I am anal and had an actual list haha). But within an hour or so, I just wasn't hungry. I went to Hardee's to get a gravy bowl, and I couldn't even finish it !
You are supposed to load up on high fat foods, but not lots of sugar and carbs. But you also know that you are not going to be able to eat most foods while on phase 2, so you also want to get some of your favs in. This process fuels you for the actual fat loss.
I ended up eating 1/2 can of cashews (lightly salted), most of the gravy bowl, and 1/2 of a meat pizza minus the crust. But honestly, I really had to force that down.
Felt pretty good :)
