HCG Day 9 - mea culpa
Up .2 from yesterday, but actually thought it would be worse. Slipped up last night when friends were over. I did not go crazy even though I was hungry and tempted, but it was still way too much intake, including a few sips of a pomegranate cosmopolitan. (I told myself the antioxidants were worth it...)
The key to HCG being maximally successful is a very low calorie diet and heavy restriction of fats. Once food intake is burned up for fuel, the HCG signals the brain to pull from the deeply stored fat, not the moreeasily accesible subcutaneous fat and muscle. It's supposed to liberate up to 2,000 calories from fat stores each day. Going up in weight shows I obviously got the equation backwards yesterday and "wasted" an HCG day letting it work on ingested fat instead of stored. Also didn't drink as much water as I should. So back on the straight and narrow today!

Pomegranite Cosmo...
Yummmy!! That sounds delish. :) So it's the HCG that's burning the fat and not the low cal low fat diet? Do you know how this affects your muscle mass? I think it's interesting...I don't think I could eat that little of calories though. I'd be a BITCH! LOL! When my blood sugar drops...omg look out. :)

Thank You
Thank you for your comment on my blog. Yes, moderation is the key and I need to really teach myself that.
That cosmo did sound good! Is it sweeter with pomegranite in it?
