HCG: Day 1
Well, the first day of my new low calorie diet. I actually started the program a couple of days ago, but this is the first day of severely limiting my diet.
I must say, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.
My doctor prescribed some appetite suppressants and I decided I wanted to try today without one. I am a little hungry right now as I write this post, but I was less hungry today than I thought I would be. I’ll likely take a suppressant in the morning just to make the day a little easier on me.
The meal in the picture at the left was my lunch. I actually took this picture before I put it into little sandwich bags to take the office. I was surprised how much food it was for a 190 calorie meal.
For this log, I thought that I would share what each meal was for the day and how many calories I ate. And you can see the details of my weight on the right (cuz I know you want to know).

Total Calories for the day: 500.3
Overall, I had as much energy for the most part of the day that I normally do. I got a little tired in the evening right after dinner and fell asleep on the couch with the baby in my arms for about 20 minutes.
I won’t track this everyday, but I thought I would mention one measurement that made me want to go extreme. That is my gut… not my waist. I measured my gut tonight and it was 48 inches… no wonder my pants are so tight (and not in a good way). I’ll let you know periodically how that is doing.
