Thinking About the HCG Diet…

You’re in luck. I’m volunteering myself for your online analysis while I subject myself to one of the most stringent (and effective) diets on the market. The diet that I’m talking about is the HCG diet. Some dieters opt for the HCG diet Weight Loss Clinics. I, myself, decided to go for the online (so very convenient) options offered by HCG Diet Direct.

I read all about the diet and HCG Diet Direct. I just typed HCG into google and there it was. As much information as anyone could possibly want. There were articles, releases, case studies, testimonials, blogs…info is all over the place!

But that wasn’t enough. After that I decided I needed to know the EXACT requirements of the diet. Naysayers say it’s SO hard! And I don’t believe in unnecessary punishments. The first thing I discovered is that I don’t need a prescription; which is fabulous! No insurance means I avoid doctors offices and pharmacies as much as possible. The HCG diet weight loss clinics I tried first required prescriptions so this was a pleasant surprise for me. I also loved the fact that it’s all natural.

Their site also offers a lot of detailed information on the diet, the origination of the HCG weight loss theory, the recent popularity of this form of weight loss, the average weight loss results, etc. I saw no sign of any adverse side effects. And honestly, I was really impressed with the fact that I could order it and it would be delivered very quickly right to my doorstep. That’s instant gratification; and I absolutely approve of instant gratification (especially when I’m about to undergo a very stringent diet that will require me to limit the instant gratification I’ll be able to get from food).

So after all my thorough reading I thought I had a pretty good grasp and it didn’t seem as hard as some had said. It seemed amazingly effective, quick and convenient. And those are three major pluses in my book! And I’m all over the fact that the diet offers 1 to 2 pounds per day average weight loss. That’s phenomenal. I’m definitely sticking to it to see just how much I can lose.

So now I was ready. So, of course, I called up a good friend of mine and made a bet. What would you do in my place? She’s considering starting the diet simultaneously. Whoever loses the most weight by the end of the time period will be the recipient of a brand new pair of jeans courtesy of the other. I think it’s an altogether reasonable plan. New jeans and a bunch of weight lost. That’s a big dang reward for limiting my food intake and sticking to a regime of oral drops 3 times daily.

So she’s talking to her hubby about it. I think she’s going to be in. As soon as she decides we’ll pick a date and let you know what’s next! So keep an eye out for the daily progress. I’m hoping it’s all positive! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
