Here's me with my new bottle of HCG! We went to a few stores to find it. TnK, a health food store in this area, didn't have the HCG but they did carry a lot of the hygiene products you can use while on the drops (such as Nature's Gate). No where else we looked had these natural organic products (such as Wal-Mart and Sally). GNC had a form of the drops, but they didn't have the hormone in the drops...which kind of makes me wonder why they can still call it HCG? But the cashier was a girl I knew from high school and she directed us to the same pharmacy that the cashier at TnK did: Greenwood Pharmacy. I had success in finding the drops, a book, and some HCG approved food products at Greenwood.
Eating is not so easy when you're forced to do it! The 2 gorge days are designed to fill you up with as much fatty foods as possible to help fight off hunger pains that will accompany the diet in the beginning. We went to iHop for breakfast, and I'm going to eat the half that I couldn't finish for lunch.
After breakfast we went grocery shopping! The diet is very strict and allows only 500 calories a day (the other 1500 comes from fatty reserves that the HCG releases in your body). A regular meal on the diet is 100 grams of protein, 2 cups of vegetables (spinach or cucumbers in my case), an apple or handful of strawberries for fruit, and as much green tea as you'd like. So the grocery shopping part was pretty easy for this week. I have enough food to last me about 8 days.
I weighed in at 180.8 this morning, and I'll continue to weigh in each day as the diet claims to help you lose 1-2 pounds a day (but probably nothing on the gorge days). So the real test will be weighing in Monday and each day thereafter.
