Amy – 165.2 (-1.5; 7.1 Total)
So happy the weight is still coming off,
although it seems to be slowing to the 1-2 pounds per day as is normal on the
HCG diet. At least the steak for lunch
yesterday did not stall me out.
After having 3 cups of coffee this
morning, which is a little more than I usually have, I skipped the morning fruit
and had a lunch of baked tilapia with roasted garlic and herbs spice mix and
sautéed spinach with the same spice. In
the afternoon I had one of my fruits as an orange which really hit the spot. For dinner, I had a lean hamburger patty
cooked with Chicago Steak spice and a sliced tomato with fresh basil and
balsamic vinegar and ground pepper. This
is sort of a caprese tomato salad without the cheese and it’s still really
tasty. I had my second fruit of an apple
and cinnamon a little while later for ‘dessert.’
After being on the low calorie part of this
diet again for 4 days now, I remember how much I actually enjoy the food I get
to eat during this phase. Although
getting used to cooking with no oil was a minor issue at first, I am struck by how
great tasting food can be when it is stripped down to the most simple and basic
level. Using (or experimenting with) simple spices, herbs, lemon, etc. that are
fresh, pure (and not loaded with added sugars, chemicals, etc.) really brings
out the flavor and makes the most boring chicken, beef, fish, vegetable into
something wonderful. This is a diet that
really teaches you how to get back to eating the best food for your body that
is unencumbered by chemicals and fats.
