Day 8 of VLCD

Hi!
I guess I have found my sweet spot for my dosage. I have played with it for a few days and the last couple days I have had no hunger at all.

Today I have eaten a 4" cucumber quartered and dipped in my home-made dressing, a small lettuce salad with my home-made dressing and just had 'chili' prepared P2 (Phase 2) friendly, over a bed of lettuce. I made enough to eat all of it with 6 ounces of lean ground beef and put half on my plate. I could not eat it all. Maybe 3/4 of what I put on my plate but not all:) That's a good thing for me mentally also because I was always taught to clean my plate. I need to learn that it is okay not to finish all the food on my plate.

I have lost 10.4 pounds as of today. I do believe I would have lost more if I hadn't deviated from protocol and taken fiber. I took it two days in a row but it hasn't really worked yet.

I have had some bathroom problems. I do hope that clears itself up and I get regular again soon. I only mention this because if someone is reading my blog and new to the hCG protocol, I want them to know that irregularity is normal. Magnesium citrate is recommended to get things moving again. I had to order mine on-line and hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

Yesterday I took some quick measurements. I have lost 7" in my abdomen, almost 4" in my waist and over 4" in my hips. I am very surprised about the amount of inches lost. They say that first round, 1 pound will equal 1" of loss somewhere. It's definately true for me so far.
