Today in the group someone posted that this diet was too restrictive. And while I agreed, because it is but I also compared the similarity to going into Rehab. Yes, Rehab.
I say this because having a diet that is this restrictive you learn about your inner emotional demons, what drives you to overeat or eat your feelings, fear, loneliness, stress, frustration, boredom, anxiety, habit. To me the hCG diet protocol as prescribed by Dr. Siemons helps you find your inner strength and gives you a new direction to channel those demons and make positive life changes. Of course entire premise is assuming you treat this as a solution and not just a diet. Not incorporating dietary changes for the long term is a recipe for yet another diet failure. Does that mean I will never have ice cream or a pastry or any fat laden, sugar rich treat with processed white flower again? Heck no. I will but it will never be to the extent I have in the past, because those types of foods are what brought me to find this solution to my weight issues. To also help me deal with why I overeat I found EFT is an excellent therapy. EFT is a powerful tool to aid in healing life issues.
To me this is a life change not just another diet. While I’m taking this journey I am also discovering food allergies, tolerance levels for foods and developing new tastes for food. I already have a long term plan for me to maintain, Atkins Low Carb is my long term solution to maintaining the weight I will be shortly. I like low carb I agree with the theory of low carb and I LOVE the food choices I have on low carb.
As of today I have been on hCG Diet for 12 days and I have lost a total of 14 pounds. I’m happy and I frankly I haven’t felt this happy or found a diet this easy to lose with since first discovering Atkins back in 1997 and losing weight.

Taking Control
I lost 2 pounds this morning. I am feeling really good. I notice I don’t eat lunch until late and I’m going to have to correct that as I’d rather have lunch around 1 vs. 3. Makes dinner very late. I am not feeling very hungry!
I picked up some oolong tea also as I saw it in the store so I thought I’d give it a try. There are many health benefits to oolong tea so, why not? I drink green tea already.
I had a bad night last night. I made the horrendous mistake of going to my favorite upscale grocery store for some specialty items. I love this store but NOT on this diet. They do taste test of foods, cook ribs, chicken, pork, fresh pastry, and oodles of deserts. I came home and thought of nothing but food. Not cravings, just thinking of food, all the food I saw I wanted to taste it as I love good food, the taste, texture, smell, feel in my mouth. I had to fight the urge to fix something out of my frig or run back and grab a rack of ribs!!
But while I was laying in bed thinking of the food, I realized, I wasn’t having a craving. I did not have a profound uncontrollable overwhelming desire to have chocolate (my drug of choice) or any food for that matter. I just wanted the damn food. This was like an epiphany, I have control. My control. Much like the song Janet Jackson sang way back in 1984.
This is a story about my Control. Control of what I say and Control of what I do, Control of what I EAT! And this time, I’m going to do this my way!

12 Pounds 4 Days
As you may have read, I started my injections for load days on 5-25-07 and they went well. I had to do 4 days of loading vs. 3 because on Memorial Day I went to see Pirates of The Caribbean At Worlds End and the movie was good but long and I did not eat before going. HUGE mistake on my part and I would not recommend another person not eating breakfast and lunch and going to a 3 hour movie! AND I started my menses, which was even worst. I have a awful headache and hunger and I just could not start, so I did another load day. O, Well.
The injections were great, as injections go. The first day I had more fear and trepidation, which caused tension and pain, and there is something that happens to a person, psychologically, when they see themselves sticking a needle into their own flesh. It is a bit unnerving. On a pain scale of 1-10 with 10 being right up there with childbirth, I would have to say day 1 shot was 8 for me. Yes, I had a very fine needle 29 gauge ½’ Insulin syringe, but again with the tension, it didn’t matter. Days 2 and 3 were much better. More like a 2 or 1 so it is something I can tolerate for what hCG does long term.
So, on 5-29-07 I started my 500-calorie diet. I thought I would do better as I did Kimkins and that went fine, but I soon realized no breakfast was going to be an issue. On Kimkins, I had an egg omelet with shrimp or crabmeat or both every morning and it was great. Dr. Simeons original diet you do not eat breakfast. So I had a bad headache, hungry and no breakfast! By lunch, I was very grateful to eat. Until I saw, exactly what 100 grams of chicken looked liked! Think of a 5 year olds fist. That’s it. That is 100 grams of chicken. Okay I thought I could do this. Soon my hCG would kick in and I won’t feel hungry. Well dinner rolled around and this time I had crabmeat. I decided at that moment I would try to eat as much crabmeat as humanly possible as 100 grams of lump crabmeat looks like a meal for an adult!
5-30-07, 5:00 am, the next morning I still was hungry and I had a headache. When was the hCG effect supposed to kick in? I was praying it would be soon. I got on the scale after using the bathroom and to my surprise, 3 entire pounds GONE! Well, that was fantastic news. So from 5:30 until about 12:30 I rejoiced in my 3 pound lose eat my little happy meal lunch (a 5 year old fists of food and salad). I read about making the strawberries into a smoothie, with ice and water so I did that. Boy that was delicious and very decadent on 500 cals a day. So I made another for my after dinner treat. O dinner on this night was yet another disappointment. I purchased colossal shrimp. Do you know how many make up 100 grams? 4. That’s right 4 colossal shrimp = 100 grams. I was not happy! Again the mind. So next time I will get the tiny tiny shrimp to make it look like a huge amount on my plate.
5-31-07 5:15 am. Headache still raging on and down 3 more pounds!! Okay this hCG better start working or I am just doing Kimkins! This morning I decided to have an apple for breakfast, peeled of course. That seemed to abate my hunger a tad, but I had to take a nap to make it through to lunch as my head was killing me. I woke up at 1:00 and guess what? No hunger feelings and no headache! Now I can see myself doing this. I was even happier to have a 100 grams of chicken and salad for lunch! Dinner was crabmeat this time with asparagus.
My guess is I didn’t load enough on fat on my load days to keep the hunger feeling away. My fault!
6-1-07 4:45 am. No headache and down another 3 pounds! 9 pounds total in 3 diet days! Yeah Baby!
And today on 6-2-07 @ 6:00 am, total lost is 12 pounds! 12 pounds in 4 diet days! I know the weight lose will slow but IF I can lose like this for another day or 2 that would be FANTASTIC! Some people on our group list have lost 20 to 29 pounds during the first 2 week of their hCG diet. I would like to follow them.
My basic plan:
I spread my allowed foods thought the day so I am constantly eating something. I am a snacker so this is perfect.
I give myself my injection IM or SQ between 6:15 am and 7:15 am daily
I drink organic green tea and other non-organic teas by Celestial Seasonings . I’ve been drinking this tea since I was about 12 or 16 years old so I am not changing brands now.
I did not do any of the Kevin Trudeau cleanses or take any of the supplements he recommends. Matter of fact the only supplements I take are a multi vitamin and B-12 sublingual. The reason I bring this up is that people on the support list have complained that the diet is expensive if they go Trudeau’s route. I am saying you can get the same results without all that and make it more cost effective for you. My shots are costing me 1.67 per day.
Tips:
If you are buying your own hCG, buy it early as some places take forever and it may be confiscated.
If I was going to repurchase needles I would much rather have the smallest gauge and longest needle I could get rather in the insulin syringe. That would give me more choices for injection sites.

Day 1
Well I did my 1st hCG shot this morning and I was afraid to say the least. Never gave myself an injection before and I have a new appreiaction for Diabetics who do!
I had to eat to capacity today and boy do I hate that. Odd, I know, but I have trouble with my stomach when I eat foods that are rich in fat and carbohyrates. IBS comes to mind. Cant wait till I start the hCG diet, give my bottom a break from the toilet.

The Arrival
HI! I am so excited!! My supplies arrived 2DAY. Yeah baby! I am going to start my hCG injections tomorrow.
I must say I had to think twice about pre-filling all 25 syringes. I really had no pace to store them all. I did pre-fill 2 and what I did was use my Starbucks coffee cup, it’s pretty tall and my hCG and my 2 syringes had plenty of room. Will not store anymore then 1 in there after today. Something could happen and then that is hCG down the drain.
I will write tomorrow about how I mix, what I did and what I eat as the first 3 days is about gorging on fatted foods.

Exercise
YOGA CAN:
Increasing Flexibility - yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the radar screen let alone exercised.
Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons - likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body. Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated non strenuous yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.
Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body - yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.
Complete Detoxification - by gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest for life.
Excellent toning of the muscles - Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or sloth are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.
PILATES:
Pilates (pronounced: puh-lah-teez) improves your mental and physical well-being, increases flexibility, and strengthens muscles. Pilates uses controlled movements in the form of mat exercises or equipment to tone and strengthen the body. For decades, it's been the exercise of choice for dancers and gymnasts (and now Hollywood actors), but it was originally used to rehabilitate bedridden or immobile patients during World War I.
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk. In addition, pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's "core" or "powerhouse" (torso). People who do pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.

Before the Arrival
Before my hCG arrives I wanted to let you know what got me here. Yes it was the Kevin Trudeau's book, that stirred the interest but it was my own research into hCG and Dr. Simeon, the discoverer of hCG for diet therapy, and how all this works that lead me to believe in hCG.
As most stories go, it was a chilly pre spring night I was up late flipping channels and came across Kevin Trudeau hocking yet another self published book. This time he was talking about a diet cure. I stayed and watched it as I thought he was reselling Dr. Atkins diet as years before he was a pitchman for low carb and selling books and tapes on the low carb diet. Well much to my surprise this had nothing to do with Atkins. Kevin Trudeau was talking about hCG as a diet cure. I immediately jumped out of bed and headed for the PC to see what good old KT was blabbering about.
What I found in the wee hours of searching was the original hCG diet group started by, my now good friend and yahoo chat buddy, Jeni. I also found a ton of posts and begun to read. I found a few web sites related to hCG and diet and read those, but when I e-mailed people in the group that was when I started to hit pay dirt on hCG, because I was getting user feedback, users who had marvelous results with hCG.
Jeni had done hCG 5 years ago and lost weight and she found the original manuscript by Dr. Simeon, "Pounds and Inches." What a find! That manuscript is what Kevin Trudeau based his book on and yes he added his own diet and nutrition beliefs, but Kevin Trudeau did not make this up! That to me was the important thing, it had research behind it. So I read the manuscript and the original diet guidelines and was just about set. Where does one get hCG from?
I was sick and tired of being fat and unhappy with my weight and self. I remember what I felt link when I lost weight on Atkins and I wanted that confidence back. So as I search the net for where to get hcg and the supplies from I came across another diet that I'm following now until my hCG arrives. It's Kimkins and it's a wonderful diet. I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks and felt great. People have lost 100 pounds in as little as 5 months using Kimkins. So I did that pre hCG but unfortunately I can't be on a diet when hCG arrives so I'll have to eat more Atkins Style then follow the diet guidelines for hCG. So my goal is to maintain 10 of the 15 pounds I lost then use my hCG to lose the rest of my unwanted pounds and inches!

hCG Diet & Me
So many people want to lose weight for a number of reasons. Health, better life, to get a life, kids, date, and the list goes on. My reason is no different then most, health and to keep up with my son and yes to be more attractive to myself. I hate being overweight. I do not look good in pictures, I hate the way clothes fit me, and I cannot wear the close I want to wear.
So, I decided this year would be the year to reach my goals once and for all, as I am sick and tired of living the life of a person overweight and unhappy with herself.
Here goes for the entire world to see my weight lose journey with Kimkims, hCG and finally my life long eating style of low carbing.
To get everyone who is reading this up to speed. I started Atkins back in 1997 and lost a great deal of weight and inches. I never reached goal but I was wearing a misses size 13/14 to 9/10 and feeling GREAT!! My life began to change along with my happiness at feeling good and looking good. I was basically following a low carb eating plan until I became pregnant in 2001 and gave birth to a healthy baby boy on May 13, 2002. I was also at my heaviest of 275. I did have a plan to go back on Atkins but I never really did. I kept fooling myself and not following it. I also went through a very depressing period in my life that did not help my emotional state.
So as my son was turning 5 this year (Today!!) and I wanted to be more active with him and go places with him as I know I avoid doing a lot of things I like due to my weight and I didn’t want to burden him with my issues I decided to just do it.
So one night while watching TV, Kevin Trudeo came on hocking yet another book. Now I’m not a huge fan of his, but I know he’s a reseller of other people information so I went to the net found his book. I read comments on Amazon about his book a few pages from his book. With that I did my own research into hCG for weight lose found some information and people who had used and were currently using it. I also posted to my favorite newsgroup but basically was thought to be a zealot and crazy for even thinking about hCG. This reaction to me was strange because this newsgroup was about alternative dieting! But a person did turn me on to Kimkins and I joined her site and followed her plan to before finally doing hCG.
Now that brings you and me current.

Now I’m not a huge fan of his, but I know he’s a reseller of other people information so I went to the net found his book. I read comments on Amazon about his book a few pages from his book. With that I did my own research into hCG for weight lose found some information and people who had used and were currently using it. I also posted to my favorite newsgroup but basically was thought to be a zealot and crazy for even thinking about hCG. This reaction to me was strange because this newsgroup was about alternative dieting! But a person did turn me on to Kimkins and I joined her site and followed her plan to before finally doing hCG.
Now that brings you and me current.
