After one week of following the strict protocol of my diet I have managed to loose 12 lbs and an average of 2 inches off of each measurement.
I can’t believe I am posting this but here it goes:

After 8 days I have seemed to have detoxed from sugar and my cravings have stopped.
When I see foods I am not suppose to have they still sound delicious but I don’t feel crappy without them.
I am still drinking plain coffee though.
I figured cutting out caffeine along with everything else was just too much.
I haven’t had any carbs or gluten either.
Minus the carbs that come naturally in apples.
I am feeling good.
Not hungry, just missing food.
I like food & eatting and going out to eat.
Food brings people together.
I am Italian and enjoying a meal is natural.
Still have about 2 weeks left to go for a total of 21 days in this phase of the diet.
What life changing things have you learned from dieting?
Right now I just have to remind myself that food is fuel and nothing more.
I have also learned
More on that later.
Just remember ” If you don’t know what it is, your body doesn’t either”
Great work!
Where do you get your HCG from? I'm interested in the diet too!

Great work!
The most helpful advice I've ever received was from a cognitive therapist at a training class. She said "Don't think of dieting and eating well as punishment, or you will fail. Rephrase it from "I can't have _____, I have to have ______" to "I could have _______, but I choose not to." Once it becomes a choice, it is much easier to give up anything that makes you feel bad but tastes so good.
Jaimie that is a great way to look at it. I will give it a try. I keep telling myself " you can have that later, this diet isnt forever" Knowing that I am not giving up a donut for life helps. I am just giving it up for right now. And when the day comes that I do eat it, i will make sure its just one and once in a while!
