Spices and Seasonings

You can use just about any spice. Stay away from seasonings that have the dreaded MSG. Also stay away from seasonings that have fillers such as sugar or starch, etc.
Here are some of the seasonings I regularly used while preparing my meals.

• Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Orgegano
• Thyme
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Paprika
• Basil

Condiments

The condiments you can use are few. Mainly because the majority have fat or sugar in them. If you can find a good condiment that doesn't have this then great.

Load Day Failure

Load Day Fail.

Now that I have mixed my HCG yesterday, today is Load Day! What is Load Day? Load day takes place on the first two days that you take your injections. It is basically a two-day period where you gorge on fatty food. Think fatty foods, creams and sauces, more so than cakes and cookies although they can’t hurt. Nothing is better than a fat, juicy, greasy burger on load day. The idea is to build up your fat stores to prepare your body for the decrease in calorie intake. It is very important to load up on fatty foods on your load day, it may help keep you from being hungry the next few days that follow. During your load days you will gain several pounds, don’t become alarmed, they will fall back off in the following days when you switch to your very low calorie intake. I like to use my load days as an opportunity to enjoy some of my favorite foods that I will not get to enjoy while dieting. Load Day is also a great time to go grocery shopping to get the foods that you may eat on the HCG Diet.

After loading for two days I found that I had lost weight instead of gaining it. After pondering what I had done wrong, I realized that I had just not eaten enough. I decided to reload, this time I gained three pounds.
