hcg diet question

Posted by pammyt (My Page) on Thu, Jul 16, 09 at 15:14
I am on the hcg diet I am on day 10 if you count my load days. I am wondering if I am eating enough? I have tea for my breakfast and a melba toast. for lunch I eat a meat and a veggie I have a fruit for snack and then a meat and a veggie for diner. I know you weigh your meat before you cook it 3.5 but how much veggies do you eat? I started packing a little more in my lunch because I was starving and was getting headaches. I am only losing ounces these past two days and I am worried now. I have lost 7 lbs so far on this. Any help would be greatly appricaited.
thanks

This sounds so restrictive too me.
My doctor years ago told me not to lose over 2 lbs a week or I will eventually gain it all back plus.
Also best is to measure yourself chest,waist and hips and keep tract you can tell better if you are losing. |

| Pammy, You almost certainly didn't lose a pound of fat a day. Most of what you lost is water. Do the math. A pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories and if you are eating 500 calories a day, you would have to be burning 4000 calories a day. I doubt that's the case. I thought the idea of the HCG diet was you could go on a very low calorie diet without getting hungry. If you are getting headaches and "starving" maybe you should start wondering if that diet is all it's cracked up to be. |
