HOLIDAY WEEKEND--NO HOLIDAY FROM PROTOCOL!
Hello all! Again, I'm a little late and sorry for the slow responses. With the long Memorial Day holiday last weekend, I had relatives spending the night and then my husband took Tuesday off as well, so it's been quite busy. Now I'm settling down to writing again.
Well, I have good news to report--I've now lost 23 pounds! Yay! So even though it was a holiday weekend, I didn't take a holiday from the protocol. I actually did very well, bringing my own food and cooking it while everyone ate something else. I even skipped the church picnic to help avoid seeing all those goodies (okay I admit it, it really was because I was cleaning the house before my sister got here!) But this is now my 31st day on the VLCD, and I am starting to look forward to Phase 3 a lot! I'm tending to eat the same things every day, with only a little variation, so I'll welcome the variety again.
I have to say I really feel a lot healthier though, what with eating no SUGAR and few carbs, and NO CHEMICALS. I used to complain that everything we were eating either had hormones and antibiotics in it (meats) pesticides (fresh produce) or chemicals and preservatives in them (pre-packaged foods)--but I never dared take the leap toward organic until now. Of course I didn't realize that all those chemicals probably were one big reason I was keeping the weight on! What a revelation, that I really appreciated from Kevin Trudeau's books. Especially that msg has really got me fuming. Here is this substance that they purposely give to laboratory mice to make them gain weight, and yet it's in almost every food in America, it seems! They have all these news reports about how terrible childhood obesity is, or how obesity is linked to this horrible disease or that--yet they don't expose this chemical MSG that is probably one of the main reasons for our nation's obesity problem! And we who are trying to finally eliminate this chemical from our diets can't even tell if it's in something like tuna or canned tomatoes because it's going by a different name! How incidious is that!
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. It's almost 1 a.m., so I think I'll have to say goodnight! Until next time, Merry

Hey i just want to let you know i saw Kevin Trudeau on tv a few weeks ago and he was giving away all his books so i orderd some, read them and was amazed at the content. I quickly started to change my eating habits and in only 2 weeks i felt so much better and lost 10lbs without even trying. I have thought about taking the hcg but im a bit weary with the whole injetion thing, just reading all these blogs for tips for now though, thanks for updating us all.
Hi Robyn! That's great you were losing without even trying! I don't know how much you have to lose, but did you know you can take hcg orally? They call it "sublingual" and it's held under your tongue for a couple of minutes twice a day. Go to hcgcoach.com for complete instructions--that's how Shalom does it, and she actually thinks it's better to do sublingual! So don't let that stand in your way! Hope this helps! --Merry
