HCG Diet Load Day #1

Today is my first day on the HCG Diet. I am doing the loading day. Eating a lot of food is harder than I thought. I don't eat very much usually and never to the point of feeling full so it's rather uncomfortable.

I got 5,000 IU of HCG and did the mixing myself this morning. I was more nervous about mixing it correctly than giving myself the injection. The injection was SUPER easy! I didn't even feel the needle. Piece of Cake. I can't wait until the week is over to see how much I lost.

I have to eat gluten-free so it limits me on the amount of junk food I can eat. A lot of people eat a lot of junk food on their load days. The original Pounds and Inches study listed mostly good fats to load on. Well, this morning I had 2 eggs, scrambled, a glass of orange juice, 4 pieces of gluten-free french toast with cinnamon, butter and syrup. I was pretty full after that. I'm now eating a whole avacado and a dairy-free/gluten-free dark chocolate bar.

More updates to come!
