Day 48

132 lbs. This feels comfortable right now. At least I'm not gaining anything. I'm trying real hard to stick to the 500 calories. Last night I had 2 celery sticks with blackened spices on top. It got me through the night.

Well, I need to research phase 3 since it's coming up tomorrow. I need to know about any calorie restrictions since I couldn't find any in the book. I assume reasonable is in order. I'll probably fall somewhere between 800-1000 calories to test the waters. I should check the starch content of foods next.

Bringing this round to a close is very exciting. I think I've done really well. I realize that men end up dropping more weight, but I'm OK with that. It's just a fact. After my next, and likely last round, I think I will have reached a point in my life where I understand food better and its relationship with me and each other. For this, I am immensely grateful. Other programs like Nutri-System mix foods in a particular order throughout the day, but never tell you why. I feel more empowered by the hCG Diet and better able to control my future. Plus, I have the tools to fix any slip ups. I've already purchased a bunch of steaks in the event I need to drop 2 lbs!
