HCG DIET DAY 7

Well, it's not impossible and it is Not Easy! Really, it's the lack of energy that is getting us. Hopefully it will balance. But I'm not so sure. It might just come with the territory.

However, on the plus side, it is worth it! As long as I continue to lose I will be content.

The HCG Diet can teach a person many lessons when it comes to eating to nourish your body. I mentioned in my introductory post that I was concerned because the HCG Diet seemed to go against some of the things I have been taught when it comes to optimum health. I don't believe that anymore.

After preparing the meals and eating them for a week. I realize that this is very similar to what many of the "greats " teach us. We eat a lot of vegetables and a bit of protein. Yes, grains are required for a well balanced diet and are missed during the HCG Diet. But as long as you are eating them when not on the HCG Diet you should be fine. Dairy is also missing. Some people would argue that this is not a problem. I say a small amount of diary is fine in a menu.

What I am trying to say is that during this time on the HCG Diet, Leif and I are consciously trying to glean any lesson that we can. We are trying to pay attention to our bodies and stop eating when we are full. You would think that you would never feel full on a 500 calorie diet. The amazing thing is that we often feel stuffed after a meal. Very interesting...

We are also planning ahead what habits we will refuse to take back up when the diet is over. We have discussed what new habits and foods we hope to continue when all is said and done.

Overall, I don't think this is waisted time.
