Phase 2 day 2 of VLCD

I am down another 7.3 lbs from yesterday, I am sure most of it is water weight. I made it thru another day without Diet Coke, I am so happy that I haven't been craving it. I have moved on to Iced Tea Peach flavored and I can say I do like this drink. I was more hungry today and ate all the food that I was allowed, I am not sure if I needed the last fruit or the melba toast or if I was just bored. I think I eat when I can't find anything else to do, well I always have things to do but I didn't want to do any of those things.
I am wondering if anyone (Brooke this is you) has found coconut oil and what the difference is betweeen that and olive oil? I drank lots of water today but wasn't in the bathroom the whole day which was nice.
I have found that I do like Spinich, who would have guessed, and I don't miss the dressing. I have become very carefull in my measuring of food and have even made my husband bring his metric scale up from the garage, to make sure I am not eating to much.
So total weight loss to date is 11.1 lbs this includes the loading weight. I will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

  1. I have not tried coconut oil yet but I plan to on phase 3. Did you go to Dr. Platt? I know he has coconut oil on his list of foods you can eat. I'm not using any oil because the original protocol by Dr.Simeons did not allow any oils. I read the research before starting this and found that the only research study that shows this works is the one that followed Dr. S exactly. All the other research that has been done used additional foods, etc and those studies did not show those using HCG to lose more fat or to have different hunger levels than those on a placebo. Also included on the list I got from my Dr. were brocolli and green beans, which were also not on Dr. S's protocol. I don't want to risk this not working with maximum effectiveness so I am strictly sticking to the original foods, etc.
    I have *heard* coconut oil is really good though and I can't wait to try it.
    Wow, great job for the first few days! That is a lot of weight you have released! I doubt all of it is water... some of course but not all.
    I got my Stevia at Sunflower Market, they also have it at the Good Earth (which is right over there by the Crest! :) I buy sweet leaf brand. If you get another brand make sure you read the ingredients because some other brands have added carbs in them.
    Isn't it amazing that you can eat 500 cal a day and not feel crazy hungry? I still can't get over it, but then I remember my body is eating more than 500 cal, but instead of getting it from my mouth its coming from my fat!
    Keep the updates coming! :)
