So, yesterday I began a new journey. After speaking to several friends, and hearing about their success, I decided to try the HCG diet. I researched for days, spoke to my doctor, and went in with my eyes open. I know this diet is controversial, but I am really hoping to jump start my weight loss, with the plan being to go back to exercise and Weight Watchers once I am done.
For those not familiar, this diet involves taking HCG under the tongue 3 times a day, and eating a very low calorie diet for 3 weeks. (that is the time frame I am using for my first journey.) The first 2 days, (yesterday and today) are gorge days, where you eat alot. The thought is for the HCG to learn how much fat your body needs, and then when you enter the VLCD part, the HCG causes your body to release that fat to keep you feeling satisfied.
I will admit to some nerves at doing something this drastic. I know that some of you will tell me it is not smart, that I shouldn't be doing it. But for me, I needed SOMETHING. I need to see success. Eating right and exercising has done very little for me lately, so I just need to see that success. I am hoping once I lose some weight, exercising more intensely will be easier on my lungs, and my knees.
So, will share my journey here. Hopefully, this will help me stay on track, and keep my journey going.
