Thanksgiving: The 2nd Day of My HCG Diet
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! My Thanksgiving went wonderfully even though I’m on the HCG Diet. But then I’m on the second day of my HCG diet which means that Thanksgiving was a loading day for me. I got to enjoy all the high calorie, fatty foods prevalent on Thanksgiving without messing up my dedication to follow the HCG protocol for weight loss.
I woke up and weighed myself (same as yesterday). Then I took my homeopathic HCG weight loss formula drops and my B-Total Sublingual drops. After waiting the required 15 minutes, I had cinnamon rolls for breakfast. And I didn’t even limit myself to one since it IS a loading day. I’m supposed to eat a LOT of fatty foods so cinnamon rolls were the perfect place to start.
I made an apple pie to take to our family dinner (and totally snacked on spiced apples during the process). Since it was Thanksgiving there was plenty of good “loading” foods around the house. So that was definitely not a problem. I made sure to take a break from “loading” for 15 minutes around 11 am so that I could take the HCG drops at 11:15 am. Then I made sure not to eat or drink anything for the next 15 minutes. Then I was good to go again.
I remember reading in the HCG protocol for weight loss that one common error that limits the amount of success dieters have on the HCG diet is that they don’t “load” enough during day one and two. It just confirmed my belief that I was right to choose the day before and Thanksgiving Day as our loading days on the diet. If you don’t load enough you can apparently increase your hunger, experience headaches and be cranky during the remainder of your HCG program.
Since I don’t like being hungry and being cranky makes me…cranky…I did my very best to successfully “load” during my loading days. And Thanksgiving just made it easier. I’m not saying that I won’t ever be cranky on the diet (I mean, come on we’re talking about limiting a person to 500 calories per day), but at least I’ll come by it honestly. It won’t be because I didn’t eat enough during the first two days of the diet.
So far the HCG protocol for weight loss seems like a piece of cake (or pie since it’s Thanksgiving). After I went to the big Thanksgiving dinner with my family and enjoyed all the traditional foods that we have every year I got home and took the weight loss formula again. Now I’m headed to bed and I’m trying not to think about the fact that tomorrow my big staple is going to be water and herbal tea. We’ll see how it goes!
