Hi everyone!

It's been so busy around the office that I haven't blogged about my second round on the Homeopathic HCG Diet nearly as much as I had planned!

 I'm on day 22 of taking the HCG Drops (which is Day 20 on the low calorie portion) and I am down 15 lbs already (plus 5 more pounds that I gained during the 2 gorge days, but I don't want to count those!).

 I am a little surprised that I haven't lost quite as quickly as I did on the last round, but there are a couple of reasons why:

-I have had several nights (especially on the weekends) of not enough sleep

-I tried Balsamic Vinegar on my salad instead of the Apple Cider Vinegar- Water-Stevia combo and my weight loss was considerably less per day.  (I have now eliminated the balsamic vinegar) This is why it is so important to stick to the protocol, and not try variations.  It can cost you 3-5 lbs of potential weight loss in one week's time!

-My starting weight was 38 lbs less than when I started the first round, so I am that much closer to my goal weight.

It can be a rollercoaster ride.  If the scale doesn't move for a couple days, I start wondering what I did wrong, calculating my every move, whether I got enough sleep, and getting worried that I won't reach my goal.  Then usually right after those days I get some extra sleep and the next morning, I'm down a pound or more!

 Enough sleep is so critical on this diet to keep losing.  I can't stress that enough.  YOU MUST GET ENOUGH SLEEP on the Homeopathic HCG Diet or you can lose very slowly or stall!  Losing slowly or stalling can really take it's toll mentally after a few days, especially if you are near a goal or near the end of the diet and really want to go on maintenance after just a couple more pounds!

 Is it worth it?

YES! I am down a total of 53 lbs since November and I feel so much better about myself.  Clothes are so loose I can't wear them anymore.  I have given away at least 2 black trash bags full of really nice Lane Bryant clothes, and I am now the smallest size in that store!  I feel like I am really close to not having a double chin anymore and I am REALLY excited about swimsuit season this year! 

 I have had patients already see great success using the Homeopathic HCG Diet and they are very happy with the support program I have created.  It is important to have a support structure when you are on the Homeopathic HCG Diet, especially as your food, weight, and body conversations come to the surface and you think that cheating on the diet is a REALLY good idea...which it is not!  Cheating even once can cause you to gain .5 to 1.5 lbs in a single day and take 1 to 3 days to return back down to your weight before the cheat.  That's 1 to 3 extra days of NO DOWNWARD MOVEMENT.  That is no fun!

 I hope that this post has made a difference for you if you are either currently on an HCG program or are considering it.  It is completely achievable and the results are amazing!
