HCG

I started a diet on the 16th. It's called the HCG diet. If you haven't heard of it let me fill you in on the details. HCG is a fertility drug or something like that. The way you tell if you have good HCG is you drop it on a pregnancy test and it should come out positive. You take the HCG 3 times a day and it's supposed to make you not feel hungry. Then you only consume 500 healthy calories a day and the weight is supposed to melt off. The best part of the diet is the first two days. They're called loading days because you eat everything and anything you can eat. The higher the calorie content the better. This is so that your body gets tricked into thinking that it needs to burn more calories than it really does. Like I said my wife and I started it last Saturday and we've already lost a good amount of weight. It's only a 22 day program (although if you need to lose a large amount of weight you can do it for 44 days) so that isn't too bad. There's a blog called The HCG Way that a few of my friends are on. We post updates, tips, and recipes. Stacy and I bought the HCG from a company in Lehi called HCG Complete Diet. You can get it cheaper other places (like India), but we thought we'd stay local. Check it out, pretty good stuff. I started at 185 lbs. and now I'm at 181 lbs. Stacy's lost about 7 lbs. already. Although I'm still trying to get used to the hot flashes and the mood swings...I'm totally kidding...I'll never get used to them.
