So I’ll get started on the HCG diet business next, but for now I thought I’d start off with a Happy Thanksgiving for you all! After experiencing your very own Thanksgiving Day you have to see my logic in making sure that Thanksgiving was one of the “loading” days for my HCG Diet. It fit in perfectly with the HCG protocol for weight loss. And I didn’t feel deprived on the food focused holiday. (Far from it…I was stuffed!)
This morning I weighed myself (nothing interesting; same as yesterday). I took my drops right after I weighed myself and then (after 15 minutes) had a cinnamon roll. Then I had another. It is a loading day after all. There’s not really very many days in the life of a normal individual (over the age of 14) when a sane person can actually rationalize more than one cinnamon roll in one sitting; so that was fun.
The family was expecting me to bring an apple pie to the big Thanksgiving gathering so I got started on it right away to make sure it would be done in time. (I peeled about a million apples for Mile High Apple Pie). I also had as many spiced apples as I wanted during the process since I was supposed to be eating a lot of high calorie, high fat foods as possible during my “loading” day. There were plenty of other “holiday” foods sitting around that fell right in line with the HCG protocol for weight loss “loading” requirement so the day went along quite smoothly.
I remember reading in the HCG protocol for weight loss that one common error that limits the amount of success dieters have on the HCG diet is that they don’t “load” enough during day one and two. It just confirmed my belief that I was right to choose the day before and Thanksgiving Day as our loading days on the diet. If you don’t load enough you can apparently increase your hunger, experience headaches and be cranky during the remainder of your HCG program.
I want to avoid all hunger and headaches and crankiness if possible so I’m doing my best to take in enough fat during my first two days. I’m sure that I’ll have my rough days, but if loading more fat can increase the chances that I won’t have a lot of rough days I’m all for it!
Basically I’ve found the HCG protocol for weight loss easy so far; but loading is probably far easier than limiting myself to 500 calories so I’ve got to stop congratulating myself! Regardless…Happy Thanksgiving! And wish me luck starting the next phase tomorrow…

With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
