After losing about 10 lb while on vlcd, I notice the big differnce. My clothes are lose, I look smaller. It really works miracles this hcg thing.
Lately, for the last few days, I haven't been losing, and today I am up 0.8 lb. A little sad. But I know, I didn't cheat, I was fallowing POP faithfully, so I guess that is just my body adjusting.
The only problem I have right now is constipation. I feel backed up. I tried herbal tea from the health food store, it worked, but made me very uncomfortable and grouchy, because of the cramps.
I will try Magnesium citrate. Hopefully it will help.
I drink lots and lots of water, a minimum of 4 liters. I take psyllium husk with 2 glasses of water. I drink org. apple vinegar.
I know, a lot of people have this problem. I read, one of the remedies may be drinking HOT water with a juice of one lemon. I will try that too, especially that today is cold, windy and rainy outside.
My other issue is carb craving. For the last few days I had bad carb cravings. Didn't give in, but it was hard. Instead, I ate egg whites and tomatoe. At the beginning of my vlcd I was using some coconut oil, now I stopped. Maybe I should start again, because at first I was losing regularly about 1 lb a day. And I had no big cravings. I just want a piece of bread....
Morning are easy, i go to the gym, work hard, feel really good. Women at the gym started coming up to me and comment in amazement about my loss. I don't tell them about hcg....he he
Jackets I haven't worn in few years, are now lose and comfy. All my home clothes are hanging on me. What an awesome feeling. So, even lately I haven't had any great losses, I can see the losses on my body.
How do other people deal with constipation?
Do you use coconut oil?
How are your days going?
Any challenges?
