HCG Diet – Day 22
Here’s another supplement I’m taking. It’s called Phosphatidyl. Supposedly, it is good for brain function. Subjectively, when I take it, I do feel like I think faster. The days I don’t take it I do feel more sluggish (can’t do math in my head as fast nor can I access memory as quickly […]
HCG Diet – Day 21
50% left through! Today is the halfway point of my HCG Diet journey. So far I’m down about 13 pounds with about 10 pounds left to go. From a body fat perspective I’ve lost about 6.5 points of body fat with about 5 – 7 pats left to go. My waist is down 3 inches […]
HCG Diet – Day 20
Back on track today! I kept to a fairly measurable 800 calories and feel pretty good. Also, my weight and body fat are now (almost!) back to their lowest point since I started the HCG Diet. The clinic was right…one day of cheating sets you back 3 days! Still, I’m still progressing at the planned […]
HCG Diet – Day 19
Aggh! I had a work event to go to last night (Brewers vs Pirates at Miller Park) and, of course I found it difficult to not eat anything with people. I limited myself to just one brat and chorizo sausage with some onions and peppers. I lost nothing today! My weight and body fat were […]
HCG Diet – Day 18
After Omega 3 fatty acids like DEA/EPA contained in fish oil, the next big supplement that almost no one pushes back on most people needing is… Vitamin D You see, most of us are office rats these days, stuck in our corporate jobs. We rarely even spend 30 minutes outdoors soaking up the […]
HCG Diet – Day 17
Well, I’ve got some bad news and more bad news. I’m fat and… …I deserve to be since I cheated big time on the diet yesterday. Facing a situation of combined birthday, graduation and Father’s day parties I was forced to eat more than the 800 calories per day that I’m allowed on […]
HCG Diet – Day 16
Well, today I thought I’d share a little bit with you about another supplement I am taking. It’s called krill oil. Krill oil is very similar to fish oil in terms of its benefits. It purportedly helps to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, balances the HDL / LDL imbalances we have and helps with […]
HCG Diet – Day 15
OK, let’s talk about the various supplements I have been taking during my time on the HCG Diet. The first one I am taking is fish oil. Specifically, I take Sam’s Club Simply Right Triple Strength Fish Oil with 900 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids per pill. Supposedly, fish oil has amazing health benefits […]
HCG Diet – Day 14
I don’t want to gross you out but today I wanted to share with you one of the potential side effects of HCG. Constipation. Thankfully, I haven’t really experienced it in a bad way, perhaps not even at all, as far as I can tell. Things seem mostly normal to me except it […]
HCG Diet – Day 13
Here’s another favorite tool of mine. The Myotape body measurement tool. It’s so much easier to use than regular tape (or even the old “use a piece of string” around your body and then measure the string tip). I like it not just because it’s easy but it’s also accurate and you can use it […]
