I will be shopping like a mad woman this w/e in the US hopefully stocking up on HCG diet friendly foods so I can do this strictly by the book. Meats won't be an issue but the vegis and fruits can be a real challenge here :-( . I am going to buy a bag of apples to bring back with me so that might help and will resort to frozen for the vegis...not the best choice, but its what I can do. I am very excited to start as all the research and reading I've done makes this seem like a winning plan to me! I've known forever that my metab is screwed up so a way to reset it would be wonderful.
Many years ago I was dx with a connective tissue disorder which they "thought" was lupus but never a definite diagnosis. At that time I was taking prednisone daily which if you are familiar with it you know that weight gain, real weight, not water is a fact of life with it if you take high doses long term. After a long time of being miserable I decided that the side effects of the pred were worse than any pain I was dealing with so I just stopped, which is the worst thing you can do (you have to wean yourself off). Since then I have had weight problems that I just can't get rid of. I have tried it all (WW, Atkins, cabbage soup, green tea, hoodia, you name it) and the only time I had real success was when I took phentermine which speeds up your metab. Then I stabilized and kept it off and then got pregnant and gained it all back and have never lost it since. I am so ready for this and know I can do it! Looking foward to this journey and hoping I can make new friends along the way to share with!
