R3 Phase 1 Loading Day 2
Weight - 160.8
This has been one long long weekend. I am exhausted and sure hope I can get some sleep tonight. I have eaten so much the past few days that my stomach looks like I have a 'food baby' and it hurts because it's tight.
I made several salad dressings today in batches from my Phase 2 Safe Dressing list and sent the girls home with enough of each for several days.
Breakfast - (35 calories)
coffee with 2 tbsp half and half
Lunch - (374 calories)
**Cauliflower crust pizza
1 cup riced cauliflower
1 egg
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 tsp Mrs Dash Tomato Basil Garlic Seasoning
sugar free marinara or alfredo sauce
veggies of choice (I used bell pepper, onions, mushrooms)
Italian blend cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheit. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or use parchement paper. In medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Press evenly on the pan. Sprinkle evenly with Mrs Dash. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe). Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese. Place under broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted.
Dinner - (1,050 calories estimated)
Olive Garden
2 helpings of Olive Garden Salad
2 bowls Chicken Gnocchi soup
1.5 breadsticks
4 oz Moscato win
Evening - (503 calories)
1 piece cheesecake

R3 Phase 1 Loading Day 1
Weight - 159.4
What a long and exhausting day and then to have to load on top of that. It's after midnight and I'm still at it.
I prepped and injected 150iu of Hucog hcg at about 10 am this morning. Myself, my DIL and a friend (both also starting today) had mani/pedi appointments from 1 til 3pm. We then finished a bit of shopping for the diet and came home to cook, portion out foods, etc. We managed to get 34 portions of chicken breast, 8 portions of steak, 20 of ground beef, 28 of lean ground turkey (I prefer it to ground chicken) all done and ready to go. We precooked the chicken and steak, but just portioned out the ground meats. Out of 14 meals for this coming week, 7 will be chicken , 2 will be steak, and then they can decided on using ground beef or turkey or fish for the other 5.
They worked at splitting up veggies, fruits, seasonings, etc between two of them and leaving half for myself and my son (who is also starting today). There's an awful lot of produce around my house the past few days and most of it bulk from Costco. On Friday we purchased two large bags of apples, 2 bags of clementine oranges, 3 lbs of strawberries, chicken, ground turkey, filet mignon, frozen cod, as well as some bulk seasonings. I was surprised at the number of seasonings they have that are P2 compliant. Their Kirkland brand No Salt Seasoning, Ground Garlic, and Minced Onion as well as some Italian seasoning. They also had 8 packs of Pacific Natural Foods Chicken stock that contains no sugars or starches. I bought Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails formula that contains 5000mcg of Biotin. I used biotin in my last round and felt it made a big difference with hair loss. Their B-100 complex is compliant also.
Oh and on top of all this, dinner out at a pizza place and trying to get in a lot of fats. I did pretty well I think although my appetite the end of this week has been lacking.
Breakfast - (578 calories)
**Veggie Frittata with blue cheese
2 eggs (1 for extra fat)
1/2 c eggbeaters
60 g each of onion, mushrooms, bell pepper
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp butter (double for extra fat)
28 grams blue cheese
3 tbsp half and half in coffeee (3 times for extra fat)
Lunch - (357 calories)
**Pimento Cheese Sandwich
4 tbsp Mrs Weavers Pimento Cheese (almost 92% fat)
2 tsp Dukes Mayonnaise (for extra fat)
20 g onion
1 whole grain Bagel Thin
Dinner - (1,018 estimated)
**Bunless mushroom burger with blue cheese
2 pizza turnovers (like pizza rolls but bigger)
8 oz ground sirloin
50 g mushrooms
28 g blue cheese crumbles (for extra fat)
side salad with loads of blue cheese dressing (for extra fat)

Round 3 Preparations For Loading
I wrote this to the three people starting hcg for the first time this weekend with me as I enter my third round.
The two days of loading before beginning the very low calorie diet with hcg are meant to provide your body with fats for transitioning in the first few days. Loading properly will help with hunger while the hcg is kicking into overdrive.
You start the morning of your first loading day with your weight and your first dose of drops or injection. If on drops, space them out evenly throughout the day. They don't have to be at the same exact time each day, but someone near helps.
Load with good healthy fats and some carbs as well as things you will miss while on the diet. You don't have to stuff yourself to oblivion though. Use full fat items that you might usually use fat free versions like mayo, cream cheese, cheeses, sour cream, ice cream, yogurt etc. Use real butter, olive oil, canola oil, for cooking etc. Choose full fat oil-based salad dressings. Avocados, walnuts, macadamia nuts, almonds, olives, peanut butter, eggs, bacon, fatty cuts of meats, fried foods, cream sauces, etc are all good choices for loading too. You don't have to eat all these things, but do go a bit overboard. Don't stuff yourself too much with sugars, although enjoy that cheesecake or chocolate cake, etc.. but just do it as a compliment to all the healthy fats. Sugars in excess can make you crave more in the first few days.
Get in 2 or 3 meals and a few fat-loaded snacks. Don't worry about the gain, it comes right back off in the first few days.
Don't by a ton of these type groceries because you'll see them in the house and want them or will have to toss them or give them away.
I've ended up with alot of cheese in the house from being on maintenance. Sunday being Superbowl.. I'm cutting all of it up and leaving it out for people to snack on. Dinner Sunday night is going to be eggs (with cheese) and bacon.
Once you start this diet you need to follow it through to at least 30 days.. 2 days of loading with the hcg drops, 28 days of low calorie diet (500 calories a day from the Pounds and Inches Protocol) while taking the drops, and 48 hours (if using homeopathic hcg) or 72 hours (if using rx grade hcg) of the low calorie diet without the drops at the end before moving to Phase 3, the first 21 days of maintenance. Stopping somewhere in between can really do more damage than good and likely cause you to gain the weight back. Following through, you'll be amazed at the rapid results, and at how you can eat a normal amount of calories in maintenance and maintain your weight. Yes I know that protocol talks about 23 days or 40 days, but it's recently becoming evident that people stabilize better if they have done at least 30 days of hcg before ending a round. You can go longer.
