Well I've got one more day left of the VLCD. My final injection was on Tuesday which gave me 3 weeks of treatment. I was going to go another week but certain engagements are not allowing for this so I figure I will take a break for 6 weeks and do another 3 weeks when my schedule allows for it. I'm just really looking forward to not being restricted to when and how much I eat. That will be a relief. I'll get to put the food scale away for awhile. I must say I've noticed a huge change in my body shape in the past week. The love handles are almost gone and I'll get the rest of that the next round, but the best part is I fit in my clothes again. I can't believe I let myself gain all the weight I did in the past year. Well, it's mostly off now and I'm glad I did the protocol.
If you ask me my opinion, the protocol is a fabulous tool to help those despirat and have tried all other diet avenues to no avail. That was me, I was going to resort to being middle aged and overweight, ugh.....but now thanks to the Simeons protocol I know I can be where I want to be with my weight, I have an option.
I am now an advocate of this protocol. Shame on the FDA for poopooing on this possible lifesaver for the obese because they can't put there finger on just exactly how this protocol works, who cares, it isn't going to kill you and it works. Too many people are dying of just being fat, and for some to no fault of there own, it's just the way there body or genetics are wired like me, I am active, I try to eat right and no matter what I did I was turning into Mrs. Fattyfatfat. I am telling you I COULD NOT LOOSE ANY WEIGHT! Until now. All I have to say is God bless you Dr. Simeon for all your work and studies and I hope that someday the FDA will change there opinion on HCG.
So how much did I actually loose? To date, 14 pounds. Now I was pretty stricked on the diet 99.8 percent of the time, but I had a few weak moments. What did I do that may have slowed me down? I cheated last Saturday and it did stall me out a couple of days so I probably would have lost another 2 lbs there. I also used vasilene a few times due to the fact that my hands get so dry in the cold air here in Illinois they crack and bleed so I had to use something. I also ate Walden Farms calorie free peanut butter with my apples once in a while and ate 4 oz of meat opposed to 3.5 oz every so often but I continued to weight train throughout the protocol and my physician felt it was OK. From time to time I did lack energy and it showed at the gym. I also noticed I was unusually tired a couple of days otherwise I felt great. I injected 125 HCG daily at 10 am. My weightloss seemed to be every other day and on occasion every day a few times basically it fluctuated. I bought ISOPURE protein powder it has 0 carbs and is only 110 calories per scoop and I would have a smoothie made with strawberries splenda ISOPURE ice and a little water throw it all in a blender and yum! It is a nice little treat, of course you have to sacrifice your lunch or dinner protein but the smoothie really filled me up.
I used leave in conditioner but only used it on the ends and not my scalp. Honestly of all those potential road blocks, the only wrench that I felt I threw into the mix was when I cheated on Saturday. So If at all possible DON"T CHEAT I've been there done that BAD BAD BAD! It'll
definetely cost you. I guess I had to test it out and see if what everyone said including Dr Simeon was true.....it's true. All the other things I did throughout that should of stalled me out didn't, I continued to lose. Well, that's all, Good luck to all that are currently on the plan. Be strong you can do this, and just think how hot your gonna look afterwards! Leomom stay positive and best wishes on your HCG journey!
