HCG Diet Phase ONE!

So, I've decided to start out this blog, by blogging about my new diet with HCG. I'm super excited about this diet, because if it works, I will be able to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time. Who doesn't want that? Honestly, that is the reason I've decided to do it. For most people(including myself) it is really hard to lose weight and eat healthy, and keep at it for longer than a few weeks, if that. So I am really looking forward to seeing if it actually works. If you don't know what the HCG diet is you can find out about it here, or just look it up for yourself:) Those are the drops I am taking while on the diet.

You can also read this article By Dr. ATW Simeons here. This explains everything you'll need to know and why. 

Thankfully I am not doing this diet alone. My sister and sister-in-law are doing it also. It's pretty great that we are all doing it together because this way we will all have someone to talk to for recipes, tips and support!

We got together this weekend and went to Costco to pick up our meat and some fruits and veggies. What we did was portioned all of the meat in proper 100g servings, put them all in freezer bags and froze them. That way it will be a lot easier when we have to make our meals. We can just pull out a bag and cook it up!

Today, I portioned out most of my fruits and veggies into baggies. Most are roughly 50 calories per bag(which we are allowed two fruits and two veggies per day), some are a bit lower to make up for a higher calorie meat serving.

For veggies I have:

Broccoli
Asparagus
Zucchini
Cucumber
Lettuce
Tomato
celery

For fruit I have up:

Strawberries
Cherries
Apples
Grapefruit

For meat I have:

Chicken breast
Shrimp
Ground chicken
beef
pork
tilapia

After yesterday and today's phase one loading days(basically you take the drops and eat crap for two days), I feel worse than I look in these photos. I'm even kind of happy to be eating super healthy tomorrow! Anyways, I will let you know how my day goes tomorrow.
