We're in the middle of the three week HCG Diet maintenance period. At this point, of course Leif is doing great and is at a low. He's lost a couple of pounds. It has fluctuated, but now his weight is dropping. For me, mine has fluctuated as well. I seem to have gained at least one pound. After a steak day I can get my weight to 128. My low was 127. Leif and I have both had at least three steak days that I can think of.It's hard for me to believe that my weight isn't going to creep up after the maintenance period. The HCG Diet is an interesting science project. Bummer that my body is involved. My mood and chemical imbalance has been severely effected by the HCG Diet. I will explain why in my next post. Leif on the other hand has felt just fine and found great success in the HCG Diet. It is all about different body's bringing different chemicals and issues.
So that's our update. We have about a week and a half left on the maintenance. We have followed a "low carb/no carb" diet. Similar to Atkins. I got online and printed off a months worth of low carb recipes. By now I'm weary of meat and cheese. I'm looking forward to the rainbow of colors and variety I used to have on my table. We still eat a lot of veggies. But I need my grains!
BTW: I don't know why I can't get a good pic of me! That stupid hat! Anyway, I FEEL good with the weight loss. It's my mind and emotions that have taken a plunge. Read my "discovery" post and find out why.
