Day 1 (wednesday)

I received my drops yesterday, I purchased the 2oz bottle that should last me 30 days and promised to shed up to 40 pounds.

I expected a bigger box, but it was just the bottle with the drops in one of those bubble envelopes and a letter instructing me to go to a site on the internet where all the instructions are.

I think I was a bit nervous to start, I know it is a very low calorie diet, 500 calories per day, and that plus the drops ... well, I am not sure why but that is how I felt but I started.

I think I was a bit nervous to start, I know it is a very low calorie diet, 500 calories per day, and that plus the drops ... well, I am not sure why but that is how I felt but I started.

I put the first drops under my tongue and the first thing I was wondering was if the drops were going to have a particular taste but they don't, they taste like nothing, so that was cool.

I wasn't prepared with the foods they recommend for the first two days so I had a cereal for breakfast and a sandwich and noodle soup for lunch, I will go and buy pizza, cake, sausages and bacon for tonight and tomorrow as recommended in phase 1 of the diet.

It's 8:00 at night and I have the pizza coming out of the oven, I have taken the drops 4 times today and ... is it possible?, I am not really hungry, the pizza and the cake super appeal to me but my stomach feels kind of full, is it coincidence or is it the drops? wow, don't tell me that they do suppress hunger this fast, it would be unbelievable, well, I am going to try to eat the pizza anyway.

I ate two slices of a large pizza, I feel super stuffed, I'll wait a couple of hours and will eat a slice of cake.

Day 2 (thursday)

It went perfect, of course, I ate pizza, chile verde tamales from Target, hershey's cake and bacon, so no problems at all today, tomorrow starts the low calorie regime, so let's see how it goes, I almost forgot to take the drops a couple times, 6 times a day, I figured every two hours, so I am keeping track on a notebook now how many times I've taken them.

Day 3 (friday)     256 pounds

I weighted 256 pounds this morning.

I am not a coffe or tea drinker which is what is allowed for breakfast so I went only on water, by lunch I was still doing well although I felt a little heaviness on the head.

Lunch was cool, I ate half a breast chicken, an apple and a tomatoe at around 2 in the afternoon, felt satisfied after eating, almost full and the heaviness went away.

By dinner, 7pm, I was feeling heaviness again, ate another half chicken breast, a yellow squash and an orange, I felt satisfied and the heaviness went away again.

Tonight I am feeling afraid as to how it will go, it is usually my toughest time, when I want to eat bad or comfort foods, I guess I'll will it if I feel like eating, we'll see how it goes.

Day 4 (saturday)     252.5 pounds (-3.5)

Last night was a bit rough, mostly I was afraid that I would get hungry or that it would be like many other nights when I feel heavy on the head and I get up and hit the refrigerator for pastries, chocolate or chips, but I did not this time, fortunately I fell asleep quickly and I did not feel the urge to eat.

This morning I feel much better, weighed myself and baam! 252.5!, 3 and a half pounds less, wow, now I am thinking if losing this much in one day is safe but I feel good, so great!

Instead of eating everything at once at lunch and dinner I am going to space them out, I will have an orange, wait an hour or so, then the vegetables, then the chicken and so for.

Day 5 (sunday)     248.5 pounds (-7.5)

Wow! Another 4 pounds and I feel better than the last two days, I haven't felt the hunger from my stomach burning but I have felt compulsion to eat, I think it is mostly mental, out of habit or because I enjoy it so much, but I have resisted and the fact that I don't feel that hunger stomach sensation definetely helps, I don't feel the heaviness on the head today.

On the lost weight I am thinking what is going on?, I know that 1 pound of fat is about 3,500 calories, if the diet is 500 calories a day and the calories to maintain weight for me are about 1,800 I have a deficit of about 1,300 and two days is not even a pound but I have lost 7 1/2 according to the scale, and I am not dehydrated because I am drinking tons of water, so something else is going on, must be the drops and the claim that they release fat, I guess, I don't care much really, feeling great and looking forward to the next few days.

I bough the melba toast today as the diet suggests, I didn't know they were not really bread, anyway, I have had an orange, waited a bit, like 40 minutes, then the melba, waited another 30 or 40 minutes and I had a cucumber, I had my half breast chicken ready but I am going to wait about an hour to eat it because belive it or not, I feel satisfied after the cucumber, wow, this is getting better by the minute! Love it so far!

Day 6 (monday)     246 (-10)

Less pounds today but still great for a single day! I am doing better as far as feeling hungry, I must say it does not come from my stomach, I don't have that stomach burning sensation at all, it mostly comes from my mind, I miss eating or I have a compulsion to go to the refrigerator and get something but I think it is more out of habit or missing the enjoyment of watching TV eating something, but not feeling hunger from my stomach definetely helps, I just have to deal with my emotional eating and so far, remembering my objective and how I am going to look after losing all these pounds and trying to relax is helping, also when I feel the compulsion I go and drink more water and that seems to help because I gain some time and then I forget about eating. So it is going well, still eating the same and I am spacing them out as much as I can.

Day 7 (tuesday)     246 (-10)

What? I didn't lose anything? How can that be, on only 500 calories? Well, I'm even thinking that the scale is damaged now, I read in the diet instructions the part that says 'When you hit a plateau', it says that the 1 to 2 pounds per day is an average of the whole diet period, that some days you could only lose a few ounces, anyway, it says that you can replace the apples for oranges or grapefruit, to dring green tea and I am also going to switch the tomatoe and cucumber for baby spinach only today, we'll see how it goes.

Day 8 (wednesday)     245 (-11)

Ok, at least one pound, that's better! Anyway, I'm feeling better everyday as far as not being hungry, I guess my stomach is shrinking and/or combined with the drops something is going on because I even feel stuffed a bit eating only what's allowed, so that is cool, still have the urge to eat the good stuff, I mean the bad foods, but not out of hunger, I have to keep fighting against my emotional eating, I guess I miss the satisfaction of having flavor rich foods in my mouth.

Day 9 (thursday)     243 (-13)

Hurraaa!!! another two down and that makes 13 for 7 days of the low calorie diet and everyday feeling better with only the foods allowed, I'm liking this diet a lot!

Day 10 (friday)     242.5 (-13.5)

Nothing new to report, I think I am over the hump, getting used to the low calorie diet, not hungry and feeling satisfied, I'm wondering now if I should just report weekly, weight myself weekly, and only post something if there's a change or new news, I am back with a cucumber and the melba toast, and I keep drinking the grean tea.

Day 11 (saturday)     241 (-15)

Same as yesterday, nothing really new to report.

Day 12 (sunday)     241 (-15)

Same as yesterday, nothing really new to report.

Day 13 (monday)     239 (-17)

It's unbelievable, feeling stuffed even with what I am eating and I was just thinking on the days where I could eat two services of cajun food from the mall, right now I feel that not only I could not eat the amount but the greasiness although delicious and satisfying in my mouth, I feel a bit disgusted if I was to eat that kind of food.

Day 14 (tuesday)     239 (-17)

My biggest cheating time is usually at night and since I am feeling like too much food I left one vegetable, the two melba and an apple during the day and ate them at night when going to bed and was satisfying and help with the cravings of the chips, chocolate and bread.

Day 15 (wednesday)     238 (-18)

I can't believe how much I've lost and it feels great, I feel leaner already!

Day 16 (wednesday)     238.5 (-17.5)

Day 17     237 (-19)

I can't believe I can go through the dat with so little food, a couple of friends have already asked me to get them the hcg drops.

Day 18     234.5 (-21.5)

Hurray! Back in business!

Day 19     234.5 (-21.5)

Hmmm, I know that it doesn't necessarily reflects everyday but still it feels a bit dissapointing when you don't see the scale go down.

Day 20     233.5 (-22.5)

Wow! I think I am getting used to these little amount of food, I am not hungry at all ever!

Day 21     232 (-24)

Not much to report, I didn't take the melba's yesterday and one apple makes me feel full already.

Day 22     232.5 (-23.5)

Damn! What's with me, I'm not hungry and I keep getting up when there's something cool on T.V. and I want to have a great time, I have to work more on my emotional eating, for me it's at night and when I want more enjoyment!

Day 23     231 (-25)

I'm getting a bit bored of eating the same thing, I know there's recipes I can try but I'll try to tough it out, I love not having to cook. The weight keeps dropping, so that's great.

Day 24     230 (-26)

I am now thinking on what to do after I'm done with this diet, I can't lose momentum, I am already planning to switch to a healthy one and start exercising.

Day 25     228.5 (-27.5)

All I can say is wow! this diet is amazing! I'm super motivated to keep the road down!

Day 26     228 (-28)

I've started to want more flavor, it's getting more difficult to watch the good stuff, I'm not hungry I know but I want to taste something salty, fried or sweet.

Day 27     226 (-30)

I resisted the temptation, it helps not to be hungry, it helps a lot!

Day 28     225.5 (-30.5)

Almost there, I feel fantastic, I've never been able to lose so much weight this easy.

Day 29     225 (-31)

I'm feelling like I'm leaving a friend! jajaja, one more day and switching to a healthy diet.

Day 30     224 (-32)

Aaaaamazing! Great way to start a new effort, nothing like results! This has been the best diet I've ever done!

Incredible results, it was much easier than I thought, the drops must be doing a lot of work because I never thought I would not be hungry or even skip some of the little food you are eating.

It has provided me with a lot of motivation to take advantage of this rapid weight loss, it has given me hope, energy and a reason to keep going.

I now recommend this diet to all my family and friends who want to boost their weight loss efforts!
