Getting Real with HCG: Day 9: First Milestone Met

Start Weight: 156
Weigh in: 145.8
Loss 1 day: 1.2
Total Loss: 10.2 lbs

Feeling A.M.: I'm 10 lbs lighter and most importantly I feel great. I feel accomplished and healthier then I did 9 days ago. I can't believe that I have made it this far with such a strict diet.

Feeling P.M.: Felt fine all day. Wasn't hungry until about 8p though and then I realized that I should probably make something to eat. I'm going to try some new products tonight and I'll tell you about them below.

Journal Log:

My friend Danyale told me about these "Miracle Noodles", actual name Shirataki, that were safe to eat on the diet. I read about them on the internet and they have 0 everything almost. She did warn me that when she did eat them she would not lose any weight usually the next day but she wouldn't gain either. I went to the asian food store and looked for them but the specific brand that Danyale suggested they didn't carry so I bought these instead.

These are not the product mentioned above. It's what I settled for. 5 cal/serv and 1g of carbs

These were amazing, but they did have 5 calories per serving and 1 gram of carbs in them. I know that's cheating but I wanted to see what would happen if I ate them after losing 10 lbs. I made a sweet chili pepper sauce and mixed in the noodles with 100 grams of chicken. It was really delicious and reminded me of something I would get at a Thai restaurant. I was left feeling full and satisfied. So much so that I also didn't eat my fruit later.

The Results: I woke up feeling really hungry. Something that I haven't really felt in the last 7 days. I also didn't lose any weight and I felt a hollowness in my stomach. Another thing is that I was bloated and gassy in the morning. I think that if you don't mind not losing weight for one day and/or you are at a point in the diet where you feel like if you don't have something different you might cheat, that this is a good option. Also, I set myself up to know that I might not lose and I was fine with it. I told myself that having these were a reward for breaking a milestone and it seemed to help when I weighed myself the following morning. I wouldn't make it a part of my daily consumption. Also I would try harder to find the actual product that Danyale mentioned next time.

This is what I really wanted. It comes in angel hair, spaghetti, fettucinni. Perhaps your local grocery store will special order them for you. Doesn't hurt to ask.

LUNCH: "Hamburger" with Kale Chips
