Weight is sitting at the same it has been for the past four days. Boo! BUT stomach looks flatter, so it’s ok. I think. Breakfast (noon): Steak and eggs for breakfast! Coffee + zucchini, 1/2 bunch kale steam sauteed with two ounces steak and two egg whites. Also a few bites of my homemade coleslaw, [...]

Day 16 HCG Diet + No Sugar Cravings?
Two weeks down, just one more week of 500 calorie, no-fat eating left! … it gives me a new appreciation for fat. Butter and coconut milk in particular, for my healthy cooking. Butter for sauteeing, coconut milk for curries, soups, and more. I also can’t wait to eat spaghetti squash again, and not to have [...]
HCG Diet Day 15
Weighed the same as yesterday. Trying to stay positive, and my mom was really helpful, noting that it seems that my body often loses weight slowly but suddenly, like a week of eating clean and I’ll suddenly be 5 pounds lighter, not gradually over the course of the week. So if I don’t lose any [...]
HCG Diet Day 14 – “It is intense, and I didn’t really expect it to be”
I guess I sort of thought this was going to be easy. That the HCG would just make me not hungry, and I wouldn’t think about food all the time. I might even forget to eat. But I’m not like that. I like to cook and bake, so much so that That Ripped Guy of [...]
Recipe: Untraditional Chicken Veggie Miracle Noodle Soup
I just wanted to share this super easy recipe because I don’t think most people think of putting chard in chicken soup, but it’s amazing. Not only does it almost entirely reduce the need to salt the soup, but it packs quite the veggie punch without changing the taste. In a pot, dump: A box [...]
HCG Diet Day 13 – More Than Halfway!
11 days of restricted eating down, 10 more to go! Took a day off from exercise, finally (although I did walk the dog for about an hour), and wasn’t as hungry. Forgot to take the drops until about 1pm. Was thrilled to make spaghetti for dinner with my Miracle Noodles and ate very little but [...]
HCG Diet Day 12 + Paleo Scallop Scampi Recipe
At first it was really fun keeping a daily diary of my HCG diet. Now it’s just kind of tedious. Except I was really excited about finding Miracle Noodles! But I think it’s important, and hopefully helping others! Weight: down 3 pounds from yesterday and the lowest I’ve weighed since I started weighing, but not [...]
OMG Miracle Noodles
Miracles. Literally. Miracle Noodles. I have always loved noodles. I used to eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else, because I loved them so much. Needless to say, since then I’ve tried a lot of noodle substitutes. I love spaghetti squash noodles. I can tolerate kelp noodles but they’re [...]
HCG Diet Day 11
I weighed in two pounds up this morning. Now, in the original HCG study published by Dr. A. T. W. Simeons (click here to read the whole study, you can bet I did), he cautions that endurance exercise may cause temporary weight gain due to water retention: Finally, the weight can temporarily increase – paradoxical [...]
HCG Diet Day 10
Torture = Cooking Paleo Pad Thai for your friends, and roasting brussel sprouts and measuring out packaged crab for yourself. Not that the later wasn’t delicious, but it was a true test of resilience to cook with forbidden ingredients. I couldn’t even like a finger or a spoon with peanut butter. Le sigh. Today was [...]
