My 17th Day on HCG Diet!

It\’s day 17 and I\’m still moving forward with the weight loss from HCG Diet Direct\’s homeopathic weight loss program. I was flipping through some of the diet reviews online and found some diet pill reviews mixed in with the HCG referrals. It just solidified my argument that the all natural method is the way to go.

It sounded like some of the popular weight loss pills have some pretty heavy duty health issues that are cropping up as side effects; at least that\’s what some of the diet pill reviews were saying. I, of course, forwarded all of the scary diet pill reviews to my HCG dieting buddy, Lisa\’s, husband. He was a nay-sayer when we were discussing doing the homeopathic HCG diet. So I wanted to remind him again how right I was and how wrong he was.

If you don\’t remember who Lisa is I\’ll explain it again. When I decided to try the homeopathic HCG diet through HCG Diet Direct I approached Lisa to be my dieting buddy. We also decided to bet on who would be able to lose the most weight. I\’m hoping to lose more than her so she has to buy me a new pair of jeans.

Her husband was not a big supporter initially. He was really quite skeptical. I did eventually talk him around. But I do have to continually support my argument by sending him any further \”proof\” I find that my opinion is actually the right one on this particular issue. So the negative diet pill reviews were the perfect forward for Lisa\’s husband. He should never have disagreed with me; I\’m rarely wrong.

So on day 17 I was so excited that I\’m so far into the diet and I\’m doing so well and then…I didn\’t lose any weight! I\’m still at 156. But I\’m thinking positively and going to say that at least I didn\’t gain any weight. That\’s definitely far worse than sticking at the same weight.

Today I did well. I took my HCG as recommended. I took my B-Total Sublingual as recommended. I didn\’t eat Melba Toasts today because it\’s supposed to be one of the plateau breakers. I figured I should try one of them since I stuck at 156 today. For lunch I grilled a steak. It was huge so I stored some for later. I\’ve really been loving the leftovers on this diet. With my steak I had strawberries and green tea. For dinner I went with chicken asparagus soup. Since the weather is so cold it was nice to have warm soup. Strawberries made a showing again as a late night snack. I did really want my Melba Toasts throughout the day, but I withstood the temptation. I\’m hoping the plateau breaker will make a difference. We\’ll see tomorrow.

Amelia Handley studied exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition. Yet she still found herself veering from diet to diet in order to control her weight. With HCG Diet Direct she\’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
