My 25th Day on Homeopathic HCG

By Amelia Handley

It's my last day on the low calorie portion of the homeopathic HCG diet. I've been taking the drops three times per day for the last few weeks and I've definitely seen substantial weight loss results. You don't take the drops for the last three days of the low calorie diet and I have to say that I'm in the habit. I reach for them before I eat. It's kind of funny.

I lost one more pound. I'm at 150. That's a great ending number to finish off the program with, don't you think? That's a total of 21 pounds lost in 25 days. I think that's pretty amazing! Those are fantastic numbers. I didn't only lose the weight either. I also picked up some really good habits. I'm much more likely to stick to this weight now that I know how to eat healthy and I'm used to eating healthy. I also learned how to cook a lot of different (and easy) healthy foods and meals. I now drink a lot more water. And I'm in the habit of weighing myself every morning. That's a lot of good habits to pick up in a month!

I attempted to make a smoothie today. Alright, alright! I thought about it. But it's just too dang chilly to really enjoy a frozen beverage. Instead I opted for strawberries with Stevia. I also had turkey tomato soup (a favorite) and Melba Toasts. The soup section was definitely my favorite section of the cookbook, but that could be because it's winter!

I put a big pitcher of water on the table first thing in the morning so I'd know how much I was going through during the day. (I didn't want to do anything wrong; my very last day on low calorie should be perfect, right?)

I had Creole chicken and cabbage for diner and afterwards I made Mock Apple Cobbler. It was fantastic! It was my HCG version of a celebratory feast.

I heard that people often lose more weight during the maintenance diet (that's what some of the oral HCG reviews said, anyway). I'm hoping I'm one of those people. That would be a fabulous added bonus! But if all I lose is 21 pounds...that's absolutely fabulous! And I'm happy with it. - 17273
