VLCD Day #1



So far so good..

I wokeup this morning not hungry. In fact I didn't eat until about 12:30 PM
I didn't feel hungry when I decided to eat. But I ate just because I had the time & it was starting to get late in the day.

After my misadventure into cooking last night, I was surprised how small 100g of chicken really cooks out to. It cooked down to 75g of chicken once it was all said and done. I was once again intimidated that I would be taking in so little food but I trucked along anyway.

Hunger

I'm doing remarkably well today though. I am not feeling any hunger since the end of Loading day 2. I was full all day on load day 2, and i still felt residual fullness from those chipotle burritos.

All I have left to eat for the day is one more serving of fruit. Which will be half of this Fuji apple (they are huge, so im eating half).. and one more serving of chicken breast with a veggie.

I'm confident I wont feel much if any hunger today based on how i've felt thus far.

Ketostix

I'm getting ready to do another ketostix test to see where on the color spectrum I am as far as ketone output. Again this scale will tell me how far in ketosis I am and give me an indication as to how hard my body is working to burn fat. Yesterday, it showed me being in the middle of the color spectrum meaning I was in a moderate state of ketosis. Today I'm excited to see if it is further down the spectrum.



Here is my Ketostix Results:



Before Photos & Weighing

I plan to put up some before photos to give me a visual starting point soon. I'm also waiting to get my scale in the mail so I can weight myself. Unfortunately I wont know what my TRUE starting weight is, but I should get a general idea soon enough.

Sublingual HCG

So the last 2 doses I took I've had trouble keeping it under my tongue. You're supposed to keep it under the tongue for 15 minutes. Blah, i swear thats annoying to do lol. The second I put it under my tongue to hold it there for 15 minutes, I get a sensation of salivating which makes it hard to just hold it there without swallowing. Its just a minor issue but I don't want to waste the stuff!

I watched a few more youtubers that have done the HCG protocol and they say after the first couple times, injections is no longer a big deal. I'll consider it for the next round I do. But lets get through this round first eh?
