I totally missed getting my Monday update up and even didn't get an updated picture. Ooops!
Well it's later but better than ever. As of Monday I had lost about 16.6 pounds. Then adding in my pre diet loss, it's a total of 21.6 pounds. Woo hoo!
October 2nd is the last day of taking shots, and then I have a 3 week adjustment period. By
October 2nd I am hoping to have lost a total amount of 41 pounds.
For those of you who have been following my diet and aren't aware of what I am doing, here's a little insight. I began by doing a liver/gallbladder cleanse. After that I went on the HCG diet, which is what I am currently on. Originally, I decided to do this diet because if done correctly it will reset your metabolism. Since I have hypothyroidism, my metabolism was messed up. I am currently on synthroid to correct the issue, but it doesn't set your metabolism back to normal. Once I did the cleanse and lost a little weight, I really got sucked into it and wanted to lose more in the hopes that I would feel more like myself. So far it seems to be helping.
On the HCG diet you are on a 500 calorie a day meal plan, while getting shots of HCG everyday. The HCG pulls from your fat storages and engorges your blood with between 1500 and 2000 calories a day. I know what you are thinking.. aren't you starving? Actually no. Since I have so many calories in my blood I am not starving. I do get hungry but I just eat one of the allowed meals and I am good. On this diet you can lose around a pound a day. You just have to make sure that you are drinking at least 2 quarts of fluid. Normally this isn't an issue for me, but lately I have started to feel water logged with all of the fluid, but I keep pushing on.
This diet may not be for everyone, but so far it seems to be working with me and I am happy with the results. It's also nice to find that I need new clothes because my old clothes aren't fitting anymore.
