found this on a web site today, it means a lot to me to think about this all the time.
“Be wary of any food that has been created by humans rather than nature. The ingredients on the labels of processed foods, such as the average cracker or potato chip, are mind-boggling. If I don’t know what it is, it’s not going into my body.”
Diets are all a bit of a wash to me. Plain and simple it’s not the diet that fixes the issue, the behavior fixes the issue. All the diets out there resolve the issues that got us into out mess. It’s about food and exercise. I don’t care how you break it down that is the core of every diet.
I have been reading about every other diet out there and found THE ABS DIET, and was intrigue because of the step promises and the hype around it. I am considering doing it for two weeks and see if it holds up to it’s name and claims.
I was looking around FatSecret.com today and found this little tidbit of info. Seems of all the people on the site the hCG protocol seems to help people drop the most weight of any of them. The Slim fast diet seems to help them gain weight.
I finally was able to get Kelly to join SparkPeople ( a site I now hate) and have found FatSecret.com and I love it. I love it for a few reasons. First let me tell you what I hate SparkPeople’s site.

Day 2 of my VLCD and I am down 6.8 pounds from my LOAD WEIGHT, not my start weight. I wanted to get a good idea as to how much I am dropping from my LOAD WEIGHT. The week before my LOAD was not a good week food wise. I did this last time we started and let myself kind of roam before the load. I have now learned something and will work on it next time.
I am a fat burning machine this time around and pretty happy so far. I am off to a better start than last time and I am going to be aggressive about my weight this time. There are stalls in the diet and I only had one last time, but this time when I get one of those .2 pound loss day I am kicking an ALL APPLE day and getting things moving again. I want to drop another 30+ pounds this round and will stop at nothing to get that done. I also need to be off P2 in time for some events here in town so I don’t have any time to goof off or not loss weight.
Hope you all are having a good day and please feel free to post. Kelly is doing well and hanging with me on the weight. She is down 6.6. Not bad at all. I will post more when we hit mile stones…10, 15, 20, 25, and 30.
I am looking for guest posters too who are doing hCG and are willing to share.
We are back for our second round of hCG and VLCD this weekend. It’s a load weekend and I am going to do it up like a professional loader!
This next round I am looking for a solid 30+ pounds again. Kelly is looking for the same as well. If I reach my goal I will be under 185 and that has not been the case since high school. (1988 or 1990). That would be amazing.
After this next round I have been promised I can go shopping for new clothes too. That is a good reason to be excited too. I would encourage all of you out there to post comments so we can help each other out.
So the countdown starts to Phase 2 again. This weekend I will start my LOAD and then Phase 2 VLCD for the next 28 days. I have another 30 pounds to shed and I want to get it over with and go clothes shopping. I have a bunch of clothes that were a bit big at my heaviest but had to be large in areas to fit me and my almost 250 pounds of fat ass. Now some 30 pounds lighter I am in clothes I have not worn comfortably in years. But the problem is all my nice office clothes are now way to big for me. So rather than wait I am going to get it over with and drop the last 30.
Right now I am holding at 216(+-2), and feel great. The government says I should weight no more than 178 and I think they are nuts but would love to get close to that weight.
The weekends are still the hardest for both of us as we get busy and forget to eat and drink enough water. It’s no excuse but it happens. I am building a short list of crap to load on this weekend. I am going to load up like I want and be a pig about it.
I want to do Phase 2 again and drop the last 30, that would take me from 216 to 186. I can honestly tell you even after 14 weeks of Naval Boot Camp in 1993 I didn’t weight less than 190. Anything in the 180s would be High School weight. That would be amazing!
At work I spend time now explaining my weight lose when I have time, an to make it easy I have just emailed out the same links to get people reading and understanding how “Pounds & Inches” works.
There are lots of diets out there right now and I have tried at least 4 of the most popular ones and none of them work. It’s not to say that the one I am on right now will work for you either but the most important part about the Protocol is that is “RESETS” your thinking and it “RESETS” you hypothalamus. No other diet out there takes any of this into consideration. The second part to this protocol is that is high reward factor. In 28 days you could lose as much as 20 – 32 pound of body fat!
Count back 28 days from right now and think you could be 30 pounds liter now. The down side to the diet is, for you cheaters t there, if you do cheat you will pay dearly. Cheating is not allowed. On the protocol you have to get on the scale every morning and if you cheated the day before you will see it in the numbers. Even so much as a nut or the wrong kind of dressing for salad. The flip side is you only have to be good for 28 days.

After 1, 28 day round of hCG and many many posts, as promised my before & after photos!
So the weight has not been coming off as fast as the first two weeks. I am hoping to get a total 30 pound loss out of this. Right now I have lost 27.5 pounds and I am pretty happy with that number. Only 2.5 to go to 30 and that will get be below 220 for the first time in years. I think one more round of hCG will be in order to drop the last 20 but we are going to wait until later this summer to try that. We have a busy next couple of months so it’s time to get back to normal. Phase three starts Saturday.
