Well, not really. But it's a catchy title.
I wanted to give my experience over the last 2 months with my......wait for it......my new.....wait for it....diet.
A couple of guys started doing the HCG diet via drops. So I got a bottle and said, "Self, how bad can this be?"
I tried everything else, why not this.
Here is the premise...you gorge to raise fat levels for 2 days and take the HCG hormone drops. They are about, actually, only 2-3% potent. Some people go to a doctor to take 100% shots. But I'm cheap. I'm not spending cash to do that.
The drops were $10 online at the time. Since this has benn on Orpah, they shot up to $179. Glad I got a few bottles.
So....with the 2 days gorging and taking the drops, the drops (6 times a day for 6 drops) do three things - 1) they make you feel like your energy is high, and 2) they don't allow you to feel hungry, and 3) they protect your muscle mass so that your body doesn't consume muscle when you lose. you just lose unwanted fat.
Catch?
1) 500 calories a day. 2) No working out.
You can't work out because you are taking in 500 calories.
I admit, the thinking person would be saying, "Duh. 500 calories?? OF COURSE YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT."
Yes, yes, this is what I said to the guys when they started.
But...every try that and feel...satisfied when you eat?
Yes, I've fasted. Fasting makes you feel hungry. Scripture says of Christ, "He hungered."
The gorging sets your body up where the HCG drops work in conjunction with certain fat levels to attack fat not muscle. You eat whole foods.
Breakfast - coffee, no milk, using stevia. As much as you want.
Snack - apple.
Lunch, Chicken (3 ozs) and spinach (1 cup).
Snack - orange
Dinner - Turkey (3 ozs) with green beans (1 cup).
Now, in trying to lose weight by eating "little", you FEEL HUNGRY.
With the adverse affects of the drops, you DON'T feel hungry. You feel energized.
It's actually kind of strange that I'm OK with eating so little, but feel full.
After 21 days, you go off the drops, stick with the eating for 3 days, then reboot again with a gorge day and starting the drops again. The next 21 days you go regular.
You can repeat the cycle until all unwanted fat is gone. Then you can start working out, experimenting with foods and up the calories.
You drink lots of water too. I hate that. But I'm getting used to it.
I started at 252 (YIKES!) on Feb 15.
Currently, I'm 217. April 12. So in about 7 weeks I've lost 35 pounds.
I haven't been 217 since College. From 252 to 217 I look like a stud. But I have another 20 pounds to go. I want to hit 199. Then I'm going to start my weight training and exercise again and then bulk to 205-210.
This is the best, easiest and results driven "diet" I've tried.
I have no desire for junk food. When I have a gorge day to eat fattening, I don't really like it and I feel terrible by Lunch.
I have to do it once more because I'll need Phase 1, I think, 1 more time.
Anyway, there you have it. 3 pant sizes and a ton of weight. On my way to "superhero" weight. When I'm there, I'll take a "superhero" picture and post it.
