Thread: July 2012 Loaders

You can have an egg occasionally!!! I've decided my fruit for the day is a glass of wine... At least no Oreos!!! I tried Atkins years ago and was more miserable than I am now, and I didn't last long.

I will make it, minor set backs... We'll see how I feel in the morning when I look at the scale!!!

Food is fuel... Food is fuel... Food is fuel...

I bet you did not want one Oreo on your loading days. If I drop .4 in the am I will be 9 lbs down from my pre loading weight, or 13 down from my post loading weight. I cannot wait to get into P3! I've done STRICT Atkins and NO problems. It will be fne to maintain. I did Atkins earlier this year and did not lose much over the 2.5 months or so I did it, not like in 2005, I dropped 50-55 lbs in 4 months and kept if off. Is it sad I am dreaming of eggs!!!!!

I am sane again... Although I do have a headache from the wine...

I didn't gain!!! Yeah! It sounds like you and are twins! I am down exactly 9lbs this morning!

Keep up the good work!

VLCD1, So far, not too bad. I had 2 16oz teas (way too much caffeine), and a 16oz water, ACV, & 6 drops of vanilla stevia (it was actually good). I purchased my proteins yestderday, portioned them, marinated them in ACV, liquid amino's, liquid smoke, water, lemon herb spice (hcg), on the chicken and shrimp, and steak spice(hcg) on my steaks.

This morning, after loading, I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been, I gained 6 lbs from loading!! I am so worried that I'm not going to lose!! I was also sick from loading for the past two days, I actually dry heaved for 5 minutes, of course I did make sure to over do it on the alcohol, I'm not too sure I can go 2 months without beer, wine, or liquor.

On a happy note my lunch today was awesome!! I took one of my 3 oz marinated top round, put aluminum foil on my george forman (great idea from a previous post!), and cooked it for 2 1/2 min. Yesterday I pounded my chicken & steak so they are all thin and will look like more food on my plate. I had a whole cucumber and a piece of lettus, my plate was FULL!! My lunch was 172 calories!! I'm thinking I might be able to do this diet. Crossing my fingers for a loss tomorrow, again so scared after eating like crap the past two day of loading.

Sammy1205 - Thanks for the fish oil suggestion and congratulations on your success so far. I hope I can follow in your shoes!

kttrueself - I'm all for supporting each other on our 43 day journey.

canadastefer - How did you prepare your miracle noodles? How often do you eat them? Did you really have wine and not gain? The whole, no beer, wine, liquor thing is going to be my biggest challenge. My husband brews beer and I love it!!

sralvarez - Welcome, and good luck loading. It was a challenge for me, and on day one of VLCD I'm excited to detox and get rid of all that fat & sugar I ate during loading.

Struggling to stay on protocol today. P2D2 and I've got a headache. So tired. And hungry. I'll be out late so I'm trying to hold off my lunch until 2:30 or 3. I can't stop watching the clock!

Hey chellsha...

I dry fry the Miracle Noodles, after rinsing them VERY WELL... They are quite stinky. Then, depending on how rogue I am feeling, sometimes I will fry a little garlic in a little coconut oil and add it, or sometimes I add the vegetables... Really just depends. I only have them occasionally, they haven't caused me to gain that I know of, but don't want to take any chances!

I drank "too much" wine last night, (I was really stressed out but I paid for it with a big old headache this morning!) and I thought for sure I'd gain, but nope! Delighted by that... If you're going to try wine, make sure it's dry, otherwise, the sugar might mess you up. :-)

I totally hated loading, but I'd kill to eat like that today. This diet totally messes with your head, but hey, that's EXACTLY what it's supposed to do, 'eh!?!? You'll drop the load weight quickly, if you follow protocol. I don't even include the load gain in my losses... Are you doing injections? I am and I love it, so much easier to remember ONE dose instead of several! And, I'm not feeling hunger at all, just dreaming of food, ALL. THE. TIME. **SIGH**
