Day 2 of the HCG diet went fairly well. It was the second day of the fat intake, so it was hard to eat fatty foods all day again. By the end of dinner I was very relieved that the fatty intake portion of the diet was over. Last night I was very excited to really get started on the diet.

It is recommended to drink a lot of green tea, which I have never had before. I went out and bought a couple of Lipton Iced Teas, bananas and a couple of bags of salad and some spray salad dressing. I am all set for today, tonight my wife and I will go out and shop for everything else I can have.

In another post I will detail exactly what I can and can not eat. I am still figuring it out myself, but ti is not as restrictive as I originally had thought. I can have 2 servings of meat and 2 servings of fruit, and as much salad as I want. I can also have as much vegetables as I want. This is great for me because I love peppers, celery, cucumbers, and everything else I am allowed to eat. While it may be restrictive in some areas, it allows me to stay full with other things. Plus I love eating fruits and vegetables.

My fat body may look like I have a serious sweet tooth, but that is not the case. I would much rather have some fruit than a dessert. When I was young my Great Grandma would bake a cake for my siblings and cousins, and then she would always prepare a huge salad for me. She thought it was amazing that my favorite food at such a young age was salad. Don’t get me wrong, I still like sweets, but at least the alternative while on the HCG Diet is something I love as well.

Day 2 went well, we will see what happens as the Diet kicks into full effect on Day 3.

As of the morning on Day 3 I am 233 pounds. I have gained a pound since Day 1, but that is understandable with the foods I have been eating. My dream goal is to drop below 200 while on this round of the HCG Diet. It is a pretty lofty goal, but I think if I follow everything like I should I can obtain it.
