HCG Diet

[muriel1]

^kaya mo yan sis! ako nga akala ko dati mamamatay ako ng walang rice pero so far buhay pa naman ako! ahahaha!

update: i am on my 8th day of phase 2. i lost 10.4 lbs. i also tried to cook more than a week's worth of my proteins lat night with my bf as my taster, sabi niya okay naman, nakadalawa pa nga siya nung pan grilled burger patties ko eh! hehe. super tipid pala pag ikaw gagawa ng meals mo, kalaban mo lang talaga oras at tyaga. pero sabi ni bf okay nman daw na gawin daw namin every weekend instead of eating out. kasi naaawa siya sakin pag nasa labas kami tapos wala ako mabilhan ng food ko, atleast if i prepare my meals myself, mura na, assured pa ako sa ingredients at quality. reserve na lang namin mga eat outs namin for special occassions.

here is what i prepared. actually almost for 2 weeks na nga ito eh:

pan grilled beef burger patties (1 kilo of sirloin beef, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 whole egg for binding, 1 Tbsp of Italian Seasoning, 1 Tbsp of Himalayan Salt)

steamed herbed creamy dory fillet (creamy dory fillet, italian seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powderhimalayan salt, lemon juice)

pan grilled herbed chicken breast fillet (chicken breast fillet,italian seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powderhimalayan salt, lemon juice)

pan grilled beef breakfast steak (himalayan salt and pepper)

i used pam extra virgin olive oil spray for greasing the pan grill. hehe, parang pag titignan parepareho lasa nila, pero atleast it's a start. kala ko kasi dati di ko magagawa magprepare ng food ko for this diet eh, now, pareho kami ni bf excited maggrocery for another batch of meals! hehe

Girls what weighing scale do you use? Kasi yung akin hindi digital, im planning to get one para mas accurate, right? 😊

i have a phyliss weighing scale na digital. it has bmi and whatever else, 3K plus sa Market Market... pero I don't recommend kasi napansin ko, iba ang weight ko when i put it in one place and iba when i put it in another place... within the same room. so di ko nalang nililipat para same ang makukuha kong weight...

Jhoanne mukang masarap nman mga recipes mo eh. 😉 cook lang ng cook, masasanay ka din magluto tpos magiging madali nalang sayo when you get used to it 😊 goodluck sis! 😘

[calin22]

inggit ako kay jhoanne! haha
Nagrest ako for 2 for almost 3 days because I got sick
So P2 Day 1 ko ngayon ulet!
Nagugutom ako shocks! last time hindi naman.. weird!

I haven't bought my ingredients pa kaya Oatmeal for breakfast --- Lunch 1/4 rice and Fish (Bangus sa Bayabas with lots of Gulay) --- Merienda (Vegies of Chinese Lumpia) --- dinner baka mag Vegies nalang ako ulet.. Good start na ito for me kasi I can't really do the VLCD right now, LCD lang.. and yeah Im not totally following the protocol masyado.. haha Im doing a lot of transfers ngayon dahil i just resigned from my previous work then start na agad ako for a new company sa Aug 1.. so ayun, i plan on getting meal replacement shakes para di ako gutumin for the next few days..

[ur_prettyprinces]

^part pa siguro ng adjustments ng body mo kaya nagugutom ka parin Calyn, masasanay ka din. 😘
Pero ang sabi sa akin ng isang friend ko na nag Hcg diet din (pala) it's either panalo o talo lang daw itong diet na ito. Kung hindi mo daw susundin ang protocol sure talo ka at walang kwenta ang hcg drops/pellets mo. Sinabi nya rin na dapat hindi lang ako physically prepared but also mentally. Mahirap daw ito pero pag natagalan mo worth it daw. Yun ang isang sinasaisip ko ngayon, ready or not. So far sa pag aadjust ko since last week with the way I eat, I'm sure ready na ako! 😉

Kung ako sayo, don't take your Hcg muna, control your food intake tapos pag settled ka na sa work mo then you can start your hcg again. By that time hindi na masyadong stressful for you kesa sa paglilipat mo ngayon db? Tlagang gugutumin ka nga naman dahil sa pagod. 😊

Hi... I "restarted" my hcg diet after a week of resting from a failed attempt. Ok lang ba yun? May minimum rest period ba before starting another round? TIA.

Hi mga sissies!

I have been back reading this thread and even printed the 111 pages!! woot!

i have some questions :

• I started my HCG Diet just TODAY .  P1/D1 . i am not hungry at all, but i am forcing myself to eat because i need to load for 2 days.  is that normal at all???
  
  Anyone else in Dubai? i don't know where i can get Melba Toast or grassini.  can i eat sunflower biscuits instead.  i checked the nutrition fact, it has about 25 calories per 1 cracker. (correct me if i am wrong.)
  
  Do you guys have any other recipes to share.  would appreciate it very much. i am kinda afraid of P2.. 
  
  can hard boiled eggs be included in the diet menu for Phase 2 during VLCD?
  

Thanks so much in advance

make or break... kaya natin ito...

[ur_prettyprinces]

^yes sis! Kaya natin!!! Start ka na ulit. 😉 sabay tayo magpasexy weeeh! 😃

[muriel1]

^kaya mo yan sis! wag ka matakot. by your second week, sanay ka sa phase 2. yung egg, pwede siguro once a week kasi di sya masyado recommended, i don't know why pero ang serving mo dapat sa isang meal is one whole egg plus 3 eggwhites. yun na yung proetein serving mo for that particular meal.

ako i use wasa crispbread or ryevita yata yun to substitute for the grissini and the melba toast.

@carlyn, tama, wag ka muna mag hcg kung di pa kaya ng vlcd kasi baka naman magkasakit ka.

nagstall ang weight loss ko ng 2 days, feeling ko nga naggain pa ako ng weight kaya kakadepress pero pagkagising ko kagabi (kasi panggabi ako) nung nagweigh in ako, nag lose ako, ewan ko eh napakain nga ako ng isang reese's peanut cups that day. hehe...i have been in vlcd for 10 days so far i have lost 12.4 lbs. Far pa rin from my goal of losing 30 lbs. Di ko alam if i am losing what i should be losing pero atleast i average over 1 pound a day. inuobserve ko muna kung ano nakakapagstall sa akin. pero pansin ko pag kumpletong 8 hours tulog ko malaki ang loss ko pag gising.

i initially planned to do the 21 days lang pero mukhang nageenjoy ako mag vlcd. hehe, ewan ko, beyond the stage na kala ko mamamatay ako sa gutom, okay na ako ngayon. namimiss ko lang talga kumain ng buffalo wings! hahaha! siguro by my third week, i will assess kung kaya ko pa ituloy tuloy, tutal may mga prepared food na ako.

Phase 2 Day 1 today. I am not feeling any hunger pangs pero kulong sa kwarto muna para di ma-tempt with other foods visually. I just took a protein shake for breakfast! Feeling ko pumapayat na ako... pero feeling lang kasi di naman nakareflect sa weighing scale, hehe.

[ur_prettyprinces]

^^thank you Jhoanne for the motivations! Sa sobrang excitement ko ayun napalpak ang first day loading phase ko 😥 nakalimutan kong 3x a day pala yung hcg drops, once ko lang sya ginamit errr! So i'll do it again, turned out this will be my first day of loading phase... Twice ko na natake ang hcg drops today so one more tonight before dinner! I'm tired eating fatty foods na! Gusto ko na sa vlcd pero i'll take my time baka pangit ang kalalabasan pag minadali ko hehe. 😊

[muriel1]

^hehe, okay lang yan. try mo kumain ng bacon, yun, di masyado mabigat sa tummy pero uber taas sa calories. tapos milkshake na kung [textspeak!] anong chocolate at toppings meron, yun sure shot. ako nga naiinis eh, kung siguro sa susunod kong cycle pupunta ako ng vikings ng dalawang magkasunod na araw! hahaha!

naisip ko lang, alam ko i still have a long way to go from my goal pero i feel different right now. ang sarap ng feeling ng magaan and higit sa lahat masarap sa pakiramdam yung you are in control of yourself when it comes to choosing the kind and the amount of food you eat. 

I went to the grocery a while ago to pick up some stuff for my protein meals kasi puro beef na lang natira sa stash ko eh sabi ideally you rotate every meal, tapos dahat the heavier protein sa lunch, yung lighter sa dinner.

I bought and prepared the following:


chicken breast fillet buffalo wings style:

5 pieces chicken breast fillet
half bottle tabasco
1 Tbsp himalayan salt
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper powder

I just marinated the chicken dun sa pinaghaluhalong ingredients tapos i steamed them. I placed them separately sa microwaveable na small lang tapos i placed them na sa freezer. pag kakainin ko na, microwave na lang.

Steamed Herbed Tanguige:

4 pcs tangigue steaks
1 Tbsp himalayan salt
1 Tbsp Italian Herbs

I just rubbed the salt and the herbs sa fish tapos steam ulit. Packed into separate small microwaveables din and then straight to the freezer


Cajun Shrimp:

300 grams shelled and deveined shrimp
tabasco sauce
himalayan salt
cayenne pepper

Mixed everything then popped them sa microwave oven until the mixture boils. packed into 2 small microwaevables then striaght sa freezer.

Herbed Crab Meat:

400 grams crab meat
himalayan salt
italian herb mix

mixed everything then placed mixiture into 4 separate microwaveables. straight to the freezer.


i also bought lemons para if i eat the seafoood di masyado malansa. mga recipe ko puro hula at trabahong tamad. microwave lang ginamit ko pangsteam...hehe, actually sa office pantry ko sila prinipare kanina, buti na lang walng tao masyado. hahaha. dun ko rin nilagay sa freezer kasi ang lunch at dinner ko ay sa office nagaganap. wish ko lang eh sana walang kumuha ng food ko sa freezer! hehe!

^Punta ako ng grocery para mamili ng pang vlcd phase ko 😃 parang naalatan kasi ako sa bacon, mula nung di na ako nagririce super naiba ang panlasa ko, maalat na kaya as much as possible super konti lang ng salt ang nasa pagkain ko... Ginawa ko knina nag fried chicken breast ako kasi yun lang nasa ref kagabi naman naku po deep fried chicken legs and pork tpos veggies... Sobrang ibang feeling ko sa pagkain kO ng fatty foods, parang gusto ko mag throw up pagkatapos ng meals, dunno why 😒 iniiisip ko nman baka epekto ng pag adjust ko sa food intake ko for almost a week prior to my real hcg program... Gusto ko mag rice kagabi pero thanks God i managed not to! Super happy ako dahil almost 1 week na ako wala talagang rice. Let's do this girls! 😉

teka Jhoanne pano ka nag ssteam using microwave? Nacurious ako bigla! 😄 basta lagay nalang ba yung namarinate na chicken etc.?

[mijen]

Thanks Sis Muriel1.  appreciate the inputs especially the recipes! I believe this can be done ReAlly... just have to be patient and disciplined. Thanksss and goodluck to all of us 

[muriel1]

^ may nabili kasi ako na microwaveable na container sa s&r na may parang isang layer ng mat sa loob, so dun ko pinapatong yung kung ano gusto ko isteam. ganun lang, di ko na nilagyan ng water, yung marinade mix na yung pinagsteam ko sa kanya. pwede naman yun kahit anong microwaveable na container lagyan mo lang water muna tapos patungan mo ng microwaveable na plate tapos dun mo ilagay yung iisteam mo. di ko sure kung naintindihan mo yung sinabi ko, kahit ako naguluhan, hehe. 

[beach]

i get what you mean... nakita ko din yan sa home tv shopping. tsaka nakita ko na rin sa market market... less than 2K ata sis yung nakita ko sa dept store...

i thought of buying pero inisip ko... same purpose lang sya as our rice cooker.. kasi yung rice cooker namin, 6-in-1 so may kasama sya pang steam... although one ulam lang kasi one layer lang ang pang steam nya.
