Day 3

This is Tammie. You may be wondering why I am starting with day 3 instead of day 1. The truth to the matter is, day 1 and day 2 are easy. We are using the HCG homeopathic drops. Day 1 and day 2 you take the drops (10 drops 3 times a day) and eat lots of fattening foods of your choice. Most people don't need a lot of support to make it through those first 2 days! Day 3 is when it becomes more challenging. Today we take the drops and decrease our caloric intake to 500cal/day. So far, so good. For breakfast I had a cup of green tea. For snack 1 small green apple and a bottle of water. Lunch consisted of a chicken breast (which I pulled from the freezer supply of food we prepared last week for our diet) and 1/2 cup of green beans. Oh, and 1 slice of melba toast, Mmmm (just kidding). I still have an afternoon snack of another fruit serving and dinner (100g of lean protein and 1/2 cup of veggies). Not doing too bad so far. A little hungry. Well, not so much hungry, just have a desire for something yummy to eat. I have to admit, I really don't feel hungry at all. I think the water helps, and I am sure the drops are working to help curb the hunger as well. I find the hardest part is when I am preparing meals for the kids, and I have to remember that I can't take just a pinch of this or that. I can't test it to see if it's hot, or if it tastes right. And sometimes, let's face it...kid food smells good! On the up side, I normally wouldn't make the kids green beans for lunch, but because they were part of my meal, they ate some too. Anxious to see what the scale looks like in the morning after the first day of dieting.
