Hi Everyone,

So I'm officially one week into eating only between 500 and 800 calories a day, and I'm down 9.2lbs.  I'd like to think that I could normally do this with a low carb diet, but I've been having trouble not cheating and drinking wine, especially when my wife like to drink wine.  So for me to be able to eat clean for a few weeks, the HCG is the way to go.

Overall, the program has been reasonable easy.  Just some times when I think I'm hungry, or I think I should be hungry.  I think most of the time it's because I'm bored, or because I'm eating very little fat, I'm craving fat more than anything, mostly butter or olive oil on my vegetables.  The thought of a fatty rib-eye just is not as appealing to me right this second.  But I also know a sirloin is one of the most God awful cuts of meat available.  Tough and lean and flavorless!!  From here on out, it'll grass fed burgers or filets.

Once again, I can't think of any other program where I'd lose 9lbs in one week with very little effort on my part. 

I'll talk to you all tomorrow or the next day for my next update.
