So I'm back today on my VLCD
#19, almost 3 weeks on this very low calories diet and I can say that I'm still
loving it. Of course I've my moments when I feel a bit hungry, but bearable,
and not that often. I believe it might be a hormonal thing though. In general I
can report another small loss today, after 3
days in a row with the exact same weight! I wish I can see
this steadiness during my maintenance
weeks. But it seems I'm back on track on losing today, so all good.
Yesterday I was reading about the HCG potency duration, in
terms of mixture of the drug. I do have a 20ml
bottle for my injections, which in theory should last for 40 days, but the solution may lose its potency way earlier than
that, which is a terrible waste. If I knew this thing before, I'd have
purchased 2 packages of 2000IU
rather than just one of 5000IU, at
least I would have guaranteed a piece of mind for my daily injections going
forward with the days. I've to say though I am really trying to take care on
how I handle the bottle every day. It's always in a black little back covered
in aluminum foil and I try to keep it outside the fridge the least that I can.
So far I don't report any loss in potency, but maybe after the third week I
will see some signs of lack of effectiveness, hopefully as late as
possible, I don't want to waste half bottle for nothing, so much I spent for
it.
I have every day a good +4
Moderate Ketosis and sometime even +6
High Ketosis, so even when I don't see any change on the scale, I assume my
fat is getting released and some inches are going away. I promised myself to keep track on my cm and
my pictures during the journey, but I keep on procrastinating this thing, I
know I'd like in the future to go back and see the changes, as part of my
diary.
Yesterday was the first day where I felt a bit weak and
hungry during the day, I was questioning the injection and almost got scared
that my HCG was already gone bad;
but then in the afternoon I really didn't feel hungry at all, as I said it
might have been just a hormonal
thing.
Because on how I felt yesterday, I got kind of scared to
feel back as on my Dr. Bernstein Diet,
which I won't be able to tolerate, for today I took 4 blue pills of Cal-K that Dr. Bernstein Program was giving to its
patients for energy and remove fatigue,
I also took a small subcutaneous injection of B12 too, different spot from the HCG but I thought the B12
would help to keep the fat moving anyway, as well as added energy for the day,
the quantity was just 20IU, not
much. I'll see tomorrow if it affected my weight loss in any way or not.
