HCG: Day 33
Well, after a “mostly apple” day, my weight didn’t drop as much as I expected. Seems that my weight loss has slowed a bit. I supposed I shouldn’t complain that it did drop nearly a pound. I think it just means that I wasn’t retaining as much water as I thought over the last few days.
I don’t know if I have slowed because of mixing tomatoes and onions or not. One thing I wonder might cause it is my body is starting to get used to the same foods. Because I really don’t like veggies, I have found two (onions and tomatoes) that I like and I just eat those same things over and over again. I haven’t gotten sick of what I am eating so I just keep eating it.
You might be wondering about the lemons image at the left. On Saturday I wanted to try some lemon in my soup. I read that I can have the juice of a lemon with my diet. I have a bottle of lemon juice that is always in the refrigerator. I noticed on the side of the bottle that you can make a lemonade with the juice, water and sugar. I decided to try it with stevia. I put an ounce or so of lemon juice with some stevia in about 12 ounces of water… presto… a great lemonade. So, I had some on Saturday, yesterday and today.
I am sure the lemonade adds some calories. It is possible that it has slowed me down, but I doubt it. Even 3 ounces of lemon juice only adds 23 calories. If it does slow me down for consuming 23 calories too much, then I’ll live with it.
In reality, one of the components of this diet that I just don’t get is exactly 500 calories. Why not 475 or 525? Why not 507? 500 just seems to round of a number to be scientifically the exact number that works where other numbers won’t. With that said, I have been very careful along the entire diet to ensure that I was very good with my calories. Here, towards the end, I am ready to move on… so, I’ll fudge the data a little bit and won’t count my lemonade.
