Thanksgiving: The 2nd Day of My HCG Diet


By Amelia Handley

So I'll get started on the HCG diet business next, but for now I thought I'd start off with a Happy Thanksgiving for you all! After experiencing your very own Thanksgiving Day you have to see my logic in making sure that Thanksgiving was one of the "loading" days for my HCG Diet. It fit in perfectly with the HCG protocol for weight loss. And I didn't feel deprived on the food focused holiday. (Far from it...I was stuffed!)

I weighed myself this morning, but it was the same as yesterday; no change. I took my HCG drops according to the HCG protocol for weight loss and I took the B-Total Sublingual drops that are supposed to up my energy levels while on the diet. I started my 2nd day of loading off with a fabulous cinnamon roll. (Then I had another one...don't shake your head at me. I'm SUPPOSED to be loading today). If you're not sure what they mean by "fatty, high calorie foods" for the loading days...cinnamon rolls would be a great place to start.

I made an apple pie to take to our family dinner (and totally snacked on spiced apples during the process). Since it was Thanksgiving there was plenty of good "loading" foods around the house. So that was definitely not a problem. I made sure to take a break from "loading" for 15 minutes around 11 am so that I could take the HCG drops at 11:15 am. Then I made sure not to eat or drink anything for the next 15 minutes. Then I was good to go again.

When I was reading the booklet that came along with the HCG products I remember a list of common errors that decrease the amount of weight loss even if people think they are following the HCG protocol for weight loss. One of them was that people don't load enough high calorie, high fat foods during the first two "loading" days. Evidently it leads to increased hunger, crankiness and headaches during the diet.

I don't think I'll need any help being cranky or hungry and who wants to have headaches? So I'm really glad that Thanksgiving ensured I had plenty of high fat, high calorie food on hand. I am positive that I fulfilled the loading requirements quite nicely.

So far the HCG protocol for weight loss seems like a piece of cake (or pie since it's Thanksgiving). After I went to the big Thanksgiving dinner with my family and enjoyed all the traditional foods that we have every year I got home and took the weight loss formula again. Now I'm headed to bed and I'm trying not to think about the fact that tomorrow my big staple is going to be water and herbal tea. We'll see how it goes!
