1Body4Twenty - Day 3

Weight - 161

Today was my first day on the 500 calorie diet, and I feel great! I had some hunger pains a little while after lunch, but otherwise, I'm doing just fine. Before I tell you everything I ate, I'm going to explain how my diet is much different than the normal diet plan they give.

I keep kosher. For those who don't know what that is, they are the dietary laws from the Old Testament, and many Jews keep these laws. One of the laws is that meat has to be killed and prepared in a certain way, and this means that I cannot eat any meat sold where I live; the closest place to buy kosher meat is about an hour and 15 minutes away. I also am not allowed to eat shellfish and certain other types of fish. So how do we remedy this when the diet plan consists of many un-kosher proteins? The answer is that I use a few dairy substitutes: fat free, plain yogurt, fat free cottage cheese, and fat free milk. I am supposed to substitute each of these for a few different proteins every week. Therefore, all you vegetarians interested in HCG should pay attention. While I will be able to eat chicken here and there because I bought some when I was at the kosher place, I will be eating these dairy substitutes, and we will see how they affect my weight loss.
