Amanda for the Masses

Remember when I first started this blog I said it was to also document my weight loss? Well it took be awhile because I had to wait for the stuff to come in the mail. But! It’s here! I have a friend who has tried this and it worked really well and people in her family have tried it with really good success. It is called the HCG diet. I’ve been researching it and from what I’ve seen is that it does work and there are little to no side effects. BUT it is very restrictive. It’s main goal is to get you in a habit of eating healthy and getting you to a manageable weight. So I’m going to try it. It’s a six-week program and I am on day 3 the actual start of the diet, the first 2 days are called loading days. And it’s not too bad. I’m going to keep a little ticker of what I ate and weight lost. And anything funky or neat that happens so. So far I’ve eaten a Double Stuffed Oreo cookie that I’m not supposed to have, but what’s life if you can’t live a little. And I really wanted it, the frosting part even fell on the floor and I picked it up and popped it into my mouth…. yummy frosting. The HCG is supposed to make you not feel so hungry, and really I don’t feel hungry I just want something to chew on or something, but you can’t have gum…  It will be okay. And you have to drink lots of water 2 liters is the min. Oh oh! And no foundation make up or lotions, but I use powder as my foundation anyways and in the book I got it said St. Ives Vanilla lotion was ok so I think I’ll grab some of that. They also ask that you switch to an organic shampoo and soap and I did and I want to eat my shampoo and conditioner, it’s peppermint mmmmmm and it makes my head tingle. Well I guess that’s it for now, hopefully I will do well!
