First day w/o HCG and SO hungry!

LilacBruze · 08-04-2011, 10:56 AM

Boy, that was fast! Not that I had a doubt that the hHCG was working, but I was not prepared for the hunger to kick in so soon! It's only lunch time and my stomach is trying to eat itself. Gnawing hunger like I haven't eaten in a month! Water will not help! Argh!

Off topic, does anyone know offhand how many calories a 14oz (pre-cooked weight) NY Strip steak has? Thinking ahead to my first day of P3 on Saturday!

jnaakins · 08-04-2011, 11:02 AM

Oh man this is not what I wanted to hear

since Im starting P3 next week and Im also doing the intermountain pellets. I hope you get some relief soon! I hear upping your protein a little at each meal on these LCDs helps a bit and shouldnt alter your weight- I dont know if thats true or not, but I remember reading that.
About the calories in the steak- if you have ****** you could probably plug that in and it should tell you. I dont use it but alot of people use it to figure out calories in foods.
Good luck and keep us posted!

The internet says 8 oz uncooked NY Strip steak has 450 calories...

wait another site says 59.3 cals per oz so that would be 788 calories, that sounds more like it.

CHicken bouillon.

shelbyla · 08-04-2011, 11:56 AM

Have some more protein.

C'Marie · 08-04-2011, 12:09 PM

You got those eggwhites, right? Have some of that. Won't hurt you a bit. Or some lean protein. Don't go nuts with anything.... keep 'er steady as she goes ...

LilacBruze · 08-04-2011, 12:19 PM

Yes. I had an egg white protein shake and P2 chili so far. That's a little under 300 calories. Oh yes, and an apple. And I am still soooooo hungry!

jnaakins · 08-05-2011, 09:10 AM

Hey Lilac, is today your first day of P3? How's it going so far??

Have some MORE protein!

Tomorrow is big P3 day, n'est pas? What's the plan? Eggs, sausage/bacon, sliced tomatoes and avocado for breakfast? Yumyum (You would THINK they would have more eating emoticons on this site...

)

LilacBruze · 08-05-2011, 09:29 AM

Hunger is a little better today, had a soy protein coffee slushie this morning and I think that helped. It's been a LONG time since I've had anything resembling a breakfast, lol.

Tomorrow morning I plan on having 3 poached eggs and 5 slices of turkey bacon. My friend is taking me out to lunch to celebrate and I am having a 14oz NY Strip Steak and salad with vinegar and oil. Dinner is probably going to be a hamburger patty grilled on my George Foreman grill and a BIG garbage salad that my mother-in-law is making.

I can't wait!!

On a side note, this weekly weigh-in broke a 12 week cycle of lose, lose, gain by netting me a LOSS on the week that has usually ended in a GAIN!

Weighed in at 195.8 this morning! Not a huge loss for the week, only 1.4 lbs, but since every 3rd week has resulted in gains since my 2nd week, I WILL TAKE IT AND LOVE IT!

13 weeks of hHCG and 49 lbs GONE!
