Ending My 1st HCG Diet Phase 2
1/24/11 VLCD 39 210.6 lbs 1.8 lbs gone- last dose day
1/25/11 No Dose Day 1 209.8 lbs .8 lbs gone
1/26/11 No Dose Day 2 210.4 lbs .6 lbs back on (menses…a little bloated)
Total 33.8 pounds abnormal fat gone
It’s about 7 pm 1/26/11, day 2 of no dosing and i decided to start my low carb phase 3 about 32 hours early. Yep I didn’t follow the 3 day no dose rule. I’m curious to see what happens in the morning when i weigh myself, especially since i still ate around 500 calories worth of wings. Dr. Simeons says to go by the last weight of your last dose day for keeping within the 2 pound window of weight gain or weight loss. That would be 210.6 for me but for some reason I’m wondering why Dr. Simeons doesn’t want us to use the weight of the morning of our 1st no dose day since that’s the weight that reflects the affect the last two doses from the day before. If you have some knowledge on this, drop me a comment- thanks!
I’ve said before that I was going to do a few do me days and eat whatever I want! And some chocolate or a tiramisu cake made by Chef Bob at Pastry A Go Go would be good especially since my normal chocolate craving is here on my menses. Then to stop myself from eating chocolate tonight, I decided to read Dr. Simeons’ book on “Concluding The Course”
He says, “It takes about 3 weeks before the weight reached at the end of the treatment becomes stable, i.e. does not show violent fluctuations after an occasional excess. During this period patients must realize that the so-called carbohydrates, that is sugar, rice, bread, potatoes, pastries etc, are by far the most dangerous. If no carbohydrates whatsoever are eaten, fats can be indulged in somewhat more liberally and even small quantities of alcohol, such as a glass of wine with meals, does no harm, but as soon as fats and starch are combined things are very liable to get out of hand. This has to be observed very carefully during the first 3 weeks after the treatment is ended otherwise disappointments are almost sure to occur.”
So, here I am again thinking about changing my mind about my do-me days. Now I’m resourceful, so maybe I’ll get my icecream maker attachment, make stevia sweetened ice cream and make stevia sweetened ganache, and whatever else i can create as a satisfying treat without doing what the doctor calls “most dangerous” Wow why is it the combination of starches and fat taste so good BUT it’s most dangerous!
In the meantime until this weekend I’ll keep marinating on to do me or not to do me

I Surpassed My Goal!!!
1/21/11 VLCD 36 213 1.2 lbs gone
1/22/11 VLCD 37 213.4 .4 back on
(bloated tummy…ate eggs for the 1st time yesterday)
1/23/11 VLCD 38 212.4 1 lbs gone
1/24/11 VLCD 39 210.6 1.8 lbs gone
Total 33.6 pounds abnormal fat gone!!!
I initially set a goal to get rid of 30 pounds before i started my 6 week HCG protocol and I’m so happy that I’ve surpassed my goal! If you’ve been following my HCG diet journey you’ll notice i hardly ever use the word “LOST” weight, instead i say “GONE” or “RID OF.” It’s a mental thing where I’m aware that I’m not “LOSING” anything. I’m “WINNING” my health back which essentially is a wonderful “GAIN” for me Keep in mind how powerful your mind is. Yes the HCG diet is full of physical actions: weighing your food, weighing yourself everyday, following the menu plan, and drinking enough water. On the other side of the coin, your protocol is about mental toughness, focus, determination, and commitment.
I encountered people in my life who weren’t always 100% supportive of “my choice” to do the HCG diet. Maybe “they thought” I looked fine the way i was or “they thought” I didn’t need the HCg protocol and I could lose it another way. I even had one person tell me they were scared of “chemicals” and advised me to talk to a doctor. They didn’t appreciate it when i told them I wasn’t going to say anything at first because i wasn’t interested in opinions about anyone’s fears or doubts. I was comfortable with the info and knowledge i learned about it and was ready to get started. They got so mad later that they told me the youtube videos i watched aren’t considered “knowledge” and I’m not a doctor.
So mental toughness is sometimes about standing up for “your own decisions” about your health and not giving a damn about the opinions of others…and not being influenced by others…especially when they’re fatter, more out of shape, less active, or less confident than you. Even if they’re a friend and you love them- be wary of their opinions and “so-called advice.” Do what you sincerely feel is best for you. Don’t waver!!!
Setting Goals And Surpassing Them
There’s no such thing as unrealistic goals, there are only unrealistic time frames. Most people don’t set goals at all and only about 3% of people set goals effectively. Which goes back to not being influenced by others opinions and advice- 97% of the people advising you set no goals and when they do, they don’t accomplish them. Do you really want to take advice from them? I hope not. Unfortunately, goal setting 101 and goal getting 102 aren’t taught in most schools or in most households. Fortunately it’s never too late to learn how to set and achieve goals and when you achieve your goals, it’s such a natural high (no drugs necessary) and a tremendous confidence booster.
Brian Tracy has a short ebook for you if serious about setting goals for your life.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.- Henry Ford
The Power of The Mind…or the weakness of the mind is a very powerful or weak thing- it’s always your call. Through my blog, facebook, phone calls, and face to face conversations, I’ve told many people about my HCG diet experience and offered some friendly guidance for those who are serious about doing their own HCG protocol. Several of my friends and my aunt have already started and I’m sure several more will start in the future God-willing. To my friends and family I want you to know I’m immensely proud of you for doing something out of the ordinary to get the results you know you deserve without caring what people may say or think.
Most of all i’m inspired by you for going after what you deserve without limiting yourself!!! Which brings me to why I titled this post…
Oh I Can’t Do That…The HCG Diet
I’ve heard many EXCUSES about why people feel they “can’t” do the HCG diet. I don’t have time to cook. That’s too much- i gotta weight my food! I can’t do it because i drink. I can’t do it because i smoke. I can’t prepare two separate meals for me and my family. And it goes on and on and on til the break of dawn.
T. Harv Eker said, “How you do one thing is how you do everything.” If you have an “I Can’t” mentality about the HCG Diet, I’m absolutely, positively sure that you have an “I Can’t” and an I make excuses mentality about many other aspects of your life. Just take a real reality look at your life- not the delusional look and you’ll see how you haven’t accomplished many things you’re commended for. You’ll see your contribution to yourself, your family, and your community is dismal. I’m speaking to myself first, so i know this reality look isn’t the easiest cookie to eat- eat it anyway because the outcome is sweeter than you think.
If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.
A diet, a move to a new city, a career change, a divorce, a new relationship, getting over a phobia, rehab, starting a business, writing a book, learning a new language, traveling the world, being debt free…whatever it is – If you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right!
Peace, And Don’t Make Excuses Make Improvements
