Since it’s very easy for me to gain weight but very difficult to lose it, I began looking for the most effective diet regimen because exercise was not really doing so much for me. It was somehow out of desperation that I started getting into the much talked about HCG diet.
To be honest, I was a little afraid of the whole thing. The injections and the low calories were a bit hard to swallow. I even asked a licensed physician to help me through this kind of process, but there are a lot of DIY programs out there.
Just a couple of weeks in and I couldn’t be any happier with the results I’m getting. On average, I’m losing a pound a day. However, I did feel such excruciating hunger pains in the first week of the regimen. As for the injections, the syringe and the gauge needle are very small. It can be quite hard to imagine, but you really have to watch the needle prick the skin because you won’t feel a thing. As I went along the process, the injections help me commit to the diet even with all the temptations along the way. Not once have I cheated.
As for the food, the choice is very limited, and it wasn’t good for me because I’m a picky eater. The first week can really be so hard on you and on the second week, you’ll find yourself fed up with the bland food. However, there are cookbooks that can help you be creative even with the limited selection of food.
