Change of Plans

Well.. the ultrametabolism diet absolutely makes me feel so much better. So much so, that when I eat something prepared, I feel like crap for a day or two. UGH. I guess that's good news though.. it's a much better motivator than "you just shouldn't". I have a defiant streak in me and when I'm not suppose to do something I get resistant to it. Getting sick from eating, however makes me not WANT to do it. Completely different psychologically.

But... still significant weightloss is elusive. A few months ago my friend mentioned the HCG diet. I had read Kevin Trudeau's book "The Weightloss Cure they don't want you to Know About" - (don't buy that, just read the origianl Dr. Simeons's Pounds and Inches), but it seemed unattainable. So when she mentioned it, it just slipped passed my ears mostly. Until another friend mentioned that a guy she worked with's wife was doing it with success. All of a sudden, it seemd real and do-able. So I found myself a clinic and I'm starting on Sunday!

Results are nothing less than miraculous. And the best part is that it resets your hypothalmus so a lot of the eating habits that you had before which you THOUGHT were behavioral, go away.. because they WEREN'T - it was your brain chemistry driving your behavior.

It's such a relief, beyond words truly, to find out that what I thought were psychological issues, lack of willpower, weakness, obsession, etc, were all (ok mostly) driven out of my brain chemistry. I will be fascinated to see the difference after this protocol is over.. to find out what REALLY is in my mind vs. my brain.

So for the next oh... few months, this blog will be about this whole experience... the two special load days where you eat until you can't eat anymore, followed by 6 weeks of HCG injections and a very low calorie diet. If you're at all worried for me, don't be. It's medically supervised and this plan has been in practice since the 60's. The hcg cause the body to release 2000 calories of fat daily, so the very low calorie diet is in conjunction with that. DON'T evern do a very low calorie diet without HCG... now that's is bad for you.

I'll be posting pictures, too. Although.. i think I'll wait to post the befores until I have a least an inprogress one to put with it! :)

Wish me luck!
