Chad’s moved on to Day 8 of the homeopathic HCG diet. He loves that the drastic weight loss they advertise is actually happening. Average weight loss for homeopathic HCG dieters is 1 to 2 pounds per day. And Chad has so far been able to meet those weight loss averages.
Day 3 marked the beginning of the very low calorie diet. Chad’s been getting a good bit of experience limiting his food intake since he’s already finished with Day 7 and moved on to Day 8. He’s just barely noticed that the persistent thoughts about eating are not distracting him throughout the day as they did in the beginning of the diet. He makes it through the day without feeling hungry or distracted by eating (or not eating).
His trouble time period falls between dinner and bedtime. He identified it early on. To make it easier he saves his fruit servings for this time period. He thinks that it seems to be working.
The scale told Chad he was at 232 pounds on Day 8.
On Day 8 Chad took it upon himself to read up a bit on the diet, other diet, the body’s reaction to being overweight and the general weight loss industry. He learned how the body reacts to an unhealthy diet. He learned that most Americans have an unhealthy diet. And he learned that most people eat way too much. He started paying attention to the nutritional panels on the foods that his family was eating and he was often appalled at the number of calories per serving.
He learned that everyone who knows anything agrees that fast food is horrible. It doesn’t taste horrible (at least not to Chad), but it’s horrible for the health of the body. The best choice for anyone who wants to be healthy is to prepare their own meals at home.
Chad particularly approves of the no workout rule that comes along with homeopathic HCG. You’re actually told that you shouldn’t work out while on the diet. Chad loves this part of the protocol.
He loves this part of the protocol, but he does wonder why it’s in place. So he called the support center at HCG Diet Direct and asked. They said it’s because the 500 calories per day won’t support a workout. That sounded perfectly reasonable.
Chad got through Day 8 feeling good. He doesn’t feel hungry anymore. He had a hard time on the first few days of the diet (old habits are hard to break) but he’s gotten adjusted and feels comfortable.
Amelia Handley studied exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition. Yet she still found herself veering from diet to diet in order to control her weight. With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
