Weight: 147
I am not losing 1lb per day anymore. I hit the plateau! I have to drop calories to kick myself out of it. I noticed eliminating beef will do it. It's too high in calories. I'll stick to fish and shellfish.

Day 5
Weight 150.4
I won't be home this afternoon or evening so I will have to make my dinner and bring it with me. I'll make shrimp and tomatoes to bring. I'll bake it with garlic and MCT oil with italian seasonings.
Lunch will be the tilapia and spinach and orange. Breakfast is standard. I have a protein shake and a cup of green tea.
I woke up with a slight pain in my side. Have no idea what it's from. Stress could be the cause. Stress causes a lot of health problems people have.
So far I am liking this diet. It's easy and I am losing weight. Once I am completely off it I will hit the gym hard and get toned and fit.

Day 4
Weight: 151.4
Feeling good. Losing weight. Had to take lunch with me since I was showing homes to a client. I brought shrimp and asparagus with garlic and ginger, an apple and a melba toast.
For dinner I had poached tilapia and steamed spinach with garlic and an orange. I often eat the melba toast and fruit in between meals to keep my blood sugar even.
No side effects so far. I am still craving pasta. Hope it passes soon. Wonder how long it takes? I won't be able to eat it for 2 months. After the 40 days on HCG it's another 3 weeks of no sugar or starches. Back to a modified Atkins for 3 weeks. At least I'll be able to eat salad dressing and olive oil again.

Day 3
Weight: 152.3
Woo hoo! I lost a pound! Well I gained a pound during my load days so it's really just the pound I gained.
Today I had chicken breast and tomatoes with garlic for lunch and poached tilapia with steamed spinach for dinner. I also had the 2 melba toasts and an apple and orange.
Yep I am dreaming of fettucine alfredo. I had a very healthy day and yet I want fat laden food. What gives? I know I can't eat it because that is what got me into this situation in the first place. I am not terribly hungry but I am used to eating much more.
My new mantra is Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

Day 2 VLCD
Weight: 153.2
Yesterday was my first 500 calorie day. I wasn't really hungry but I also didn't eat the fruit. Today I will.
It's going to be a challenging day. I have to leave at 3pm and drive to Seattle to write up a contract. I can eat my lunch but dinner I will have to take with me. I find this part of the diet the most challenging. If I were sitting at a desk all day it wouldn't be an issue but on the run it's not so easy. I have to figure out recipes that can be eaten cold. Chicken and steak work best for me.

First Day of VLCD (500 calories)
Weight: 154.8
Surprisingly I woke up this morning not ravenous. I normally wake up so hungry I eat within 1 hr and take my meds. Today is the 3rd day of the diet. I did the first two where I ate everything and today is day 3 the start of the VLCD (very low calorie diet).
I've had the shake and I am now drinking green tea and I am not hungry. I am still a little shocked!
I will post again tonight after the day is done.
