Still Rolling on HCG…Day 16!

Day 16 on the HCG Diet. That means I’ve only less than 10 days left on the low calorie portion of the diet. Just to recap in case some of you are just joining us or in case some of you are forgetful: the diet starts off with 2 days of loading. Loading is taking in as much fatty calories as possible. This increases the absorption of the HCG into the body. After loading the very low calorie diet begins (500 calories per day). This lasts for 23 more days.

After the low calorie portion of the diet the maintenance diet kicks in. On the maintenance you apparently can eat as much as you want of anything you want up to 1500 calories per day and excluding a pretty short list of items. You can’t have sweeteners: sugar, dextrose, honey, molasses, artificial sweeteners, corn syrups, etc. You also can’t have any nitrites, fast food or Trans fat. And you can’t have any starch whatsoever. Man I’m going to miss homemade bread by the time this is all over. Or maybe I won’t even like it anymore…who knows?

Whew! That’s quite the list I thought. So while the food intake is going to jump considerably I have to point out that I’m still going to be feeling strapped when it comes to what I can and can’t eat. But that’s just me. And I’m getting accustomed to the feeling. It’s not too bad; especially when my weight is going down so drastically.

The recap is now officially over and we need to get down to the nitty gritty of day 16. I weighed in at 156. I’m not really sure why I stuck at the same weight because I did really well with my foods yesterday, but sometimes that happens. In response I went ahead and forced down some green tea today and aimed to drink tons more water.

I’m fine taking the HCG drops three times per day. And I think the B-Total drops are really helpful. I’m thinking of getting online and ordering some more for when these run out.

On day 16 I focused on leftovers. At lunch I had leftover green onion burger with Melba toasts and grapefruit. For dinner I had leftover chicken (the last of it) with strawberries and more Melba Toasts. I drank a ton of water. And I’m hoping I’ll drop down in weight again tomorrow; fingers crossed!

Before Starting the HCG Detox

I hope you’ve been enjoying my string of articles detailing my progress in researching and preparing for my own personal HCG Detox Diet. I had a hard time limiting myself to 2 additional products when I accessed the full product line offered by HCG Diet Direct. The homeopathic HCG weight loss formula is a vital purchase, but I picked to more products to use in addition to the formula. I chose the cookbook and the B-Total Sublingual. They seemed like the best options for me.

But I didn’t want to leave all the other products out in the cold. So I thought I’d focus on the products I didn’t choose for a bit! Yesterday’s article discussed the benefits of the HCG Diet Metabolizer and Energy Supplement. It is apparently very beneficial during the diet as well as during maintenance and afterwards, as well.

HCG Diet Direct also offers Remote Doctor Consultations. The remote doctor consultation is purchased online. The buyer receives an email requesting a time to set up a phone conference time to discuss questions and concerns. The live question and answer session is helpful to many dieters.

It is suggested that you write down all your questions before the phone call so you don’t miss anything. And you should also take some notes during the call so you can really remember and use the information you receive. You wouldn’t want to get all those answers and then not remember what they were after you hung up the phone!

A lot of us avoid the HCG clinics and doctor’s offices because we want to avoid the expensive office fees. But the Remote Doctor Consultation makes getting a doctor’s opinion much more economical (and convenient). It’s another great option from HCG Diet Direct.

Many dieters reviewed this particular service and indicated it was extremely helpful; allowing them to obtain information specific to their own personal health issues and/or family history. I didn’t take advantage of the service, but I don’t really have any particular health problem that needs to be taken into account. If I did…I’d probably be setting up my own phone consultation!
