VLCD 7

So....the scoop so far is in the first week I dropped 19% of my goal weight. As of this morning, I've dropped 24% of my goal.

I must say I am gaining more confidence in the weight loss happening. I will definitely say that the hcg HAS to be the culprit in curbing my appetite. I just don't see how a person, normally, would not be ravenous with 300 - 400 calories. I am not. I do experience a mild 'empty' feeling, and that's when I slip a stick of sugarless gum in my mouth. No problem. But I HAVE to eat at least, and no more than, 500 cl/day or my weight loss will stall.

I've decided to skip the recipes in the various hcg cookbooks and blogs. It's too confusing for my brain. Sometimes the information contradicts the Simeons protocol, and since the diet is SO exact, any variance to the protocol can make a big difference in the outcome.

What keeps me so motivated is the expectation of getting on the scale loosing weight each morning. Think about it. When does that happen in any diet -- and still be a healthy diet?

So now....on to week two.

Oh, and PS....I did opt to get the ground beef so I could keep my calories from being too low. It was convenient for me to go to Trader Joes and get their organic beef. They only had 90/10, and it is recommended you get the 97/3. Well, I don't care which it is......blech!. It's just gnarly. I'm using it up, and that will be that.
