SIMEONS HCG PROTOCOL -APRIL2010 - Page 5

duece49424 · 04-06-2010, 09:25 AM

Hello everyone! My official weigh in day at my doctor's office r1p2vlcd22...20 pounds down. I was hoping for more, cause I have so far to go, but I will take it. Decided to go the 40 days (or whatever it is..I'll worry about it when I get there). I'm taking it a day at a time..a week at a time.

Gracie...great release! You are on your way!!
Deb - nice work on the mile..I just restarted walking too, and setting some personal goals there.

You girls will have to forgive me, I have to ask this again. I can't find the phase 2 chili recipe, and I can't find the recipe thread....I know my age is showing here, but trying to navigate the system...I'll get there eventually....help?

I love the melba toast! I just have a hard time only having two.:blush:

doxielove · 04-06-2010, 09:28 AM

Do I use the weight I was on the first loading day or the weight I was on the first day of VLCD? I'm confused. TIA!

20 pounds in 22 days is AMAZING !!

You are doing even better than what Dr. Simeons projected for women (.6 pounds per day - which would be 13.2 pounds for 22 days). I hope I can do as well as you !

I use the weight I was at on my VLCD#1. If I lose the load weight I am counting gosh darnit!!!

P2 - Easy Hearty Flavor Chili

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Easy Hearty Flavored Chili
100g 95%lean ground beef
160g Hunts Fire Roasted Tomatoes w/ Garlic, or home roasted tomatoes
1/2t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t Hershey dark Cocoa powder ( don't leave out, it is crucial)
pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste, and a shake of cayenne for punch!

Add raw beef, onion pwder, garlic pwder, S&P, and cocoa powder to sauce pan and cook till it crumbles easily. I added the juice from the tomatos to help start the heat transfer. Stir in tomatoes and let simmer 5 minutes till hot. Serve with grissini stick crumbled on top or take chomping bites with each spoonful (warning grissini get soggy really quickly)

Here is the one I use.

It was definitely a splurge! I figured I deserved a treat. I'm having some for lunch right now with purple and yellow heirloom tomatoes. Yum!!

duece49424 · 04-06-2010, 10:32 AM

Thanks for your help...that was fast! I'm getting hungry LOL!

duece49424 · 04-06-2010, 10:45 AM

Everyone's food/menu's sound delish! I've been keeping it pretty simple, but time to try a few new things.

Lynne - how are you doing with your ******? I put all my food I'm eating today into it, and came up to 586...I'm having 1 small apple (which I put in counts from the bag), 3.5 oz beef, 1 c lettuce, 1 cup strawberries, 3.5 oz chicken, cabbage...and of course, my water and teas, etc. I've used ****** a few years now and always wondered about the accuracy and decided to enter the counts right from the package of the food I buy. I was just curious what my calories were for the day..

I stopped using ****** a while ago. There was a huge discrepancy between their numbers and those of other sites, depending on what you chose. I'm just sticking with weighing my protein, having a large serving of vegetables, and my fruit. The apple and half grapefruit don't require any measuring, but I usually try to stick to either 1 cup (about 50 calories) or 2 cups, depending on how much of my veggies I had or the type of protein. If I had beef, I would stick to 1 cup because the beef is higher in calories.

Dawn doesn't count calories either and she has done fabulously!

R1P2VLCD11 Lost another pound. I am never messing up again! -13 pounds.

That does not sound right at all. 3.5oz raw chicken is only 110 calories, 1 cup lettuce is like 3 calories, 1 cup strawberries is about 50 calories, 1 small apple is around 75 calories, 3.5 ounces raw beef 95/5 is around 130 calories..and you could use an entire head of raw nappa cabbage ant it's only 40 calories. So all that is only 410 calories..not sure how it came up to 586.

I stopped counting calories after the first week. I just weigh all my meat raw and put it in ziploc baggies in the freezer so it's easy to just pull a serving out.

wmac · 04-06-2010, 12:24 PM

I just got done eating my lunch....I made Dizzy's salad. Very filling and really seemed like alot of food.

Sunday, I did not bring my food or drops with me. It was all day and I caved and ate 1/4 chicken quesadille at Qdoba. Argh. But I was sooo hungry and the food looked so good. I should have brought some fruit and h/b eggs.

kerbear879 · 04-07-2010, 06:04 AM

Gracie514 · 04-07-2010, 06:19 AM

Good morning! Lost 2.6# for my second day for a total of 6.6#

Another 1.4# of load weight and then onward and downward.

shebasmudder · 04-07-2010, 07:20 AM

Good morning !

Today is R1P2VLCD2 and I released 3.2 pounds !! Yippee ! I didn't even feel starved yesterday ! Yes, I had moments of hunger and obsessed over food all day but I was never uncomfortable. I feel so excited ! I can do this ! I have the hhcg, btw.

Nicolope · 04-07-2010, 07:44 AM

Alrighty...I'm back folks.

I messed up. Went out of town, Easter, got sick. But, I'm all restarted and raring to go. I lost over 1lb average for the first 23 days. I'm hoping to come close to that this time. I plan to make this closer to a full 40 day cycle, though.

I only have a little hhcg left--here's hoping my new bottle gets here in time!

sugarsugar1 · 04-07-2010, 08:23 AM

Good morning!
R1P2VLCD5 down 1 for a total of 8
YIPPEE!

doxielove · 04-07-2010, 08:54 AM

R1P2VLCD3...a total of 4.6 pounds released! (I lost a pound while loading, and I ATE!). This is more than I was able to do in months of very low carb...YAY!

wmac · 04-07-2010, 09:19 AM

WOW sounds like everyone is doing great!!!!

I just realized I forgot to do my shot this morning!

So today I am going to have my (dizzy's) salad again for lunch and I think chili or hamburger for dinner. Last night I had taco salad.

debkeversole · 04-07-2010, 10:33 AM

i walked another mile this morning and my chicken day netted me a 2 pound loss!! back in my window but i would love to see that 298 again!
