How to Lose 45 Pounds in 45 Days...or Not

For the next four weeks I will be testing the HCG Diet in combination of a Lipo Laser at Body by Design, 1418 Boston-Providence Hwy. in Norwood.  According to the program a person can lose up to 45 pounds in 45 days. The purpose is to see if these methods actually work.

Every week I will write about my experience on the diet, if I plan to continue and along with any results.

For the last week I was only able to eat no more than 600 calories, take HCG drops (I'll explain more about this next week) three times a day and use the Laser Lipo treatment.

I will be honest.  I didn't expect that I would lose anything.  However, so far I am losing about a 1/2 a pound a day.  Now the big question is, is this happening because of the HCG drops and the lipo?  Or is this happening because of the calorie reistriction?  I will be exlploring these questions for next week.

How am I doing with the diet?

It's a struggle.  I can't eat any starches.  I can only eat lean meats, vegetables and fruit.  So it's very challenging for me to eat my salad while my husband and son are enjoying a big bowl of pasta with meat sauce.

Honestly, I wanted to quit after two days.  But my husband helped push me to stay consistent.

Another obstacle was the calorie restriction.  First i would like to say that I do not recommend this diet for anyone who is "on the go."  You will feel weak at times or a little dizzy.  That's why water is very essential for me and the only reason why I am still doing this program.

So for next week we'll see if i was still able to do the diet and how much I lost.
