HCG: Day 5
One of my daily staples on this diet has become an apple. Now that I am forsaking all sugar for this diet, fruit takes on a new meaning.
I figured out today that I am only hungry before I eat and after I stop eating. Other than that, I am not that hungry.
With that said, I am surprised how filling my meals can be.
Jen decided she wanted to try my chicken/asparagus concoction for dinner tonight so I cooked up a double batch. It was very filling. My stomach was full for a couple of hours. The challenge is with so little in the stomach (I am guessing that my stomach has shrunk a bit) is that I don’t stay full as long.
I think I’ll go for another suppressant tomorrow. It would be nice to be perpetually hungry.

This calculating to two significant digits is getting a bit tiring. I am just going to round off from now on.
