Day 2

Today is day 2 phase 2- another load day! Last day of "fatty" foods before the 500 calorie diet begins! I've been keeping up with putting my 6 drops 6 times a day. I space mine out about every 2.5 hours. My drop schedule for today:
7:00 am 6 droplets
9:30 am 6 droplets
12:00 pm  6 droplets
2:30  pm 6 droplets
5:00 pm  6 droplets
and finally
7:30 pm  6 droplets

You want to be sure to only use six "dropplets" or what I like to call drops of rain, not 6 full droppers. You only need six little raindrop sized drops each time. It's easiest to hold the dropper straight up and down and watch yourself in the mirror drop  them under your tongue, and let the drops set under your tongue for 15 seconds before swallowing.

Diet Protocol / Diet Regulations

The Diet

The 500 Calorie diet is explained on the day of the second dose to those patients who will be preparing their own food, and it is most important that the person who will actually cook is present - the wife, the mother or the cook, as the case may be.  Here in Italy patients are given the following diet sheet.

Breakfast:

 Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar.  Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours.  Saccharin or other sweeteners may be used.

Lunch:

1. 100 grams of veal, beef, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab or shrimp.  All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be

weighed raw.  It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat.  Salmon, eel, tuna,  herring, dried or pickled fish are not allowed.  The chicken breast must be removed raw from the bird. 

2. One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage. 

3. One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast. 

4. An apple or an orange or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit. 

Dinner :   The same four choices as lunch.

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes.  Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing.

Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times.

In fact, the patient should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day.  Many patients are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this may make them retain more water.  This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements. The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.

No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may be used without special permission

Every item in the list is gone over carefully, continually stressing the point that no variations other than those listed may be introduced.  All things not listed are forbidden, and the patient is assured that nothing permissible has been left out.  The 100 grams of meat must be scrupulously weighed raw after all visible fat has been removed.  To do this accurately the patient must have a letter-scale, as kitchen scales are not sufficiently accurate and the butcher should certainly not be relied upon.  Those not uncommon patients who feel that even so little food is too much for them, can omit anything they wish. There is no objection to breaking up the two meals.  For instance having a breadstick and an apple for breakfast or an orange before going to bed, provided they are deducted from the regular  meals. The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any item saved from the previous day be added on the following day.  In the beginning patients are advised to check every meal against their diet sheet before starting to eat and not to rely on their memory.  It is also worth pointing out that any attempt to observe this diet without HCG will lead to trouble in two to three days.  We have had cases in which patients have proudly flaunted their dieting powers in front of their friends without mentioning the fact that they are also receiving treatment with HCG.  They let their friends try the same diet, and when this proves to be a failure - as it necessarily must - the patient starts raking in unmerited kudos for superhuman willpower. It should also be mentioned that two small apples weighing as much as one large one nevertheless have a higher caloric value and are therefore not allowed, though there is no restriction on the size of one apple.  Some people do not realize that a tangerine is not an orange and that chicken breast does not mean the breast of any other fowl, nor does it mean a wing or drumstick. The most tiresome patients are those who start counting Calories and then come up with all manner of ingenious variations which they compile from their little books.  When one has spent years of weary research trying to make a diet as attractive as possible without jeopardizing the loss of weight, culinary geniuses who are out to improve their unhappy lot are hard to take.

Got it!

The HCG Came in the mail today! I ordered it Monday night, so it took about 5 days (Today's Saturday). It came with the 2 oz bottle dropper of HCG, and instructions, and by instructions I mean once piece of paper that directs you to their members only website, which gives you all the information you'll need... It has you read the "Pounds and Inches" ebook before starting, but I recommend reading it before you order or after you place your order, but before it arrives so you can get started right away... here's a link to the eBook

http://thewisejaime.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/poundsandinches.pdf

Please feel free to tell me about your journey, follow mine, or ask me any questions you may have. I'll be starting Phase 1 tomorrow, so check back for stats for the beginning of my journey!

Placing the Order

This is my first post in my journey, and it's an important one!

Where to buy the HCG weight loss kit from?

I placed an order yesterday from www.yourhcg.com
If you use the promotional code repeat123 it takes 15% off of your total order!
Or you can use the promotional code spring123, which gives you an extra ounce of HCG for free.
I had some trouble with the coupon code, so I talked to someone in their live chat, by clicking on the link and she took care of it and got it all squared away! It was an easy process, so aside from the code giving me a little hassle, the experience was easy.
I purchased the 30 day HCG drops kit, and with the coupon code repeat123, my total came to a little over $106.

My Journey will be with the HCG I receive from this website, so I'll be reviewing the website along the way, too.  I'll post again when I receive it, and evaluate the quality and shipping time. So check back in the next few days, and I'll keep you posted!
