The saying "To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done" has resonated in my brain since the first time I heard it. Well friends, I have finally done something I've never done: I started my first round of HCG drops on Saturday, July 21, 21012. Before you get worried or nervous for me and decide to leave a comment that is not supportive, please know that this was NOT a spur of the moment decision. I have been researching and learning about the HCG protocol for a couple years now and the opportunity for me to try it out presented itself and I am ridiculously happy with the results so far - I'm down 8.2 pounds!
The basic premise of the HCG drops is to allow your body to utilize its abnormal fat reserves for energy while you eat a very low calorie diet (VLCD) consisting of VERY specific foods you can eat. Basically, two meals of protein, vegetable and fruit with 2 servings of melba toast or grissini breadstick. It's a tough diet, but incredibly worth looking into. If you are interested in learning more about the HCG diet, check out HCG Diet Info - that site is FULL of wonderful information.
I also met with a health coach last night. Her name is June Franz and she has VEGGIE FEVER! She is an awesome woman with a passion for nutrition and helping people achieve their goals. June helped me set my 1, 3 and 6 month goals for myself last night and I am SO excited to achieve them. My homework for the week was to make sure to drink at least 100oz of water a day and I know I can do it. The awesome thing about June is that she is willing to meet with you and give you a 50-minute health consultation FOR FREE! If you are interested in setting up an appointment with June, you can visit her website (it's still kind of under construction) here: Destination Transformation.
So, yeah...I am VERY excited for the next few months. I will keep updating my progress here, so if you are interested in how I'm doing, please come back and check.
Peace.
Go MIRANDA!!! I have heard good things about HCG. How much does it cost per month? keep us posted on your success!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tommy! The bottle of drops that I am using is $29 (I think). I was fortunate enough to have a friend who had an extra one...and she owed me $20, so we bartered. I love bartering.
