Wow! I can’t believe I made it through 3 weeks of the HCG Diet! The first week was one of the longest in my life, but this last week went by pretty quickly. While the weight loss slowed down a bit more, I still made progress and looking at the total 21 day HCG cycle, I’m definitely happy with the results.
Weight: 210 lbs.
Waist: 40″
Body Fat: 32.7% (still 68 lbs of fat, but better than 80!)
That makes for weekly progress of 3.4 lbs. and 1.5 inches off the waist. Not spectacular on weight, but great on the waist. I must have lost the right 3.4 pounds!
The grand total for 21 days of HCG dieting:
Weight loss: 18 lbs.
Waist shrunk: 3.75″
Body fat reduction: 2.7% (12 lbs of fat)
Was it worth it? I think so. The best thing it did was reset my mindset and my appreciation for food. A “normal” healthy diet seems a lot more doable after such a strict diet. I’m going to take a few weeks off and try to maintain the weight loss, but then I’ll crank up another round of dieting and add in some exercise.
It feels great to finally get things moving and it gives me more confidence that this will be the year that I finally drop 30 pounds
