HCG Diet Journey – Day 23 & 24

Yep! I vandalic off the wagon…just a little bit.  I know… That’s in no degree a good thing.  I’ve lost track of the days in the present life, so I’m going to have to go back and outline out when I started and what day I’m truly on. Life and work has pretty much consumed my life the gone by week and a half. It’s been a bit crazy, but…

Mother’s Day, when I got dressed for house of god, I was actually able to wear this dress suit, which I had not been adroit to wear for SEVERAL years now–correctly. For the gone by few years, I had to leave the skirt unzipped about 2 inches and the pen in the part that I didn’t zip up. And, the jerkin, I was actually able to button it–and have opportunity!!! I was just amazed!!!  What a happy, happy day! It felt chivalrous!!!   BUT, afterwards, Kent took me, my mom, and the boys to Charleston’s against our Mother’s Day lunch. HE ordered me a baked potato–subsequently to it was Mother’s Day. I couldn’t give faith to he was doing that! He’s always been one to bear me back to focusing on my weight loss goal. (And, it’s been advantageous, too!)  I always eat my baked potatoes plain with nothing steady them, but they are still a “no, no” adhering the HCG Protocol. But, I figured, “Hey, it’s Mother’s Day and I be impressed great!!” So, I went ahead and let him order it. Well, I wasn’t able to actually even eat the whole potato. I only ate moiety of it. It was actually too much. Besides, I had already practically filled up on their salsa–it is amazing!!! So, dinner was to boot, and I thought I’d just go right back to my HCG diet.

Wrong.

You apprehend what? It’s REALLY hard to stay focused once you dash to pieces that determination. It’s crazy!! So, I dipped here and in that place and fudged a little bit–and gained 2 lbs. two days after that. It was REALLY, REALLY frustrating, but I be assured of it’s because I just wasn’t holding myself amenable to my scale, my blog, or my desires.

I did for good get them off again, but I seem to be stuck at 111 lbs.  I be possible to’t seem to break that. Of course, I know that whether or not I would just do the Protocol like I know I lack to, I can wipe out these last 10 lbs. easy. I SHOULD be in possession of already lost them all and been at my number, but I’ve not focused plenty on it; and I just got lazy. Of course, working like a crazy woman hasn’t helped that at everything either.

Then, yesterday, I took the last of m HCG drops–and didn’t precept a new supply soon enough! I was so frustrated! I didn’t not to be present to skip a day, so I called Tina to find at a loss if I could find them locally. I did find them at a soundness food shop. Tina told me to make sure I asked them on this account that the HCG Weight Off drops. I guess there is a debate in HCG. (Speaking of, did you see that pro football gambler who got suspended for a few games for testing positive in quest of HCG!? Wow, that was wild! Obviously, that’s not the ~-hearted of HCG that we are using. I’m sure he’s not lacking to lose weight.)

Anyways,…so I pull up to this health food store. Honestly, I felt like a duck out of wet. I pulled into my parking spot and noticed I was parked equitable smack dab in between 2 Prius-es (not sure how to complete that plural). Then beside those, was parked another eco-friendly carriage. (I guess the only thing that would have made me feel more out of place would have been to pull up in one extra-large, gas guzzling SUV).

I went in–and, nay, I didn’t go and look around. What for? I regard no idea what anything in there is anyways? It’s like walking into a accumulation in a foreign country, not being able to understand any of the labels.  The and nothing else thing I know about health food stores is that they for aye smell funny, and they are ALWAYS expensive!

And, this one didn’t disappoint OR assay me wrong! LOL

Their cost for the HCG drops was $49. as antidote to a 2-fl. oz. bottle!!! I was like, “What!? Really? Ugh.” After whole, I order mine for only $30 + $5 shipping. But, stupid me… I didn’t disposition them soon enough. So, I was forced into paying more as far as concerns them. The bottle is a little bigger (with my bottle essence 1 fl. oz., but it sure seemed like the amount of HCG in the bottle looked the similar. (But, at first, I thought, “Yeah, I guess they employment the same strategy as potato chip makers. You know, it’s a huge, plumb bag…until you open it. Then, you realize the pouch is only 1/3 of the way full and it was for the greatest part a lot of air.”)

But, the lady said a leash of things that I thought were interesting. After explaining to her the case I was in, I asked her if it would be okay on this account that me to switch the drops I was using mid-stream.  She afore~, “Yes, that’s fine. In fact, it’ll  apparently help you.” (Well, of course she would say that! She wants to favor the sale–obviously!) But, she said that these HCG drops had a join of ingredients that aided in the weight loss. Well, that certainly picked my curiosity.  She said they were enhanced with carnitine, which she afore~ is to break down the fatty acids.

Now, I don’t understand about all that stuff. Maybe someone reading this will know and subsist able to enlighten us all.  Anyways, I thought I would messenger the ingredients that are in my normal HCG drops as compared to which are in these new HCG drops I just purchased:

INGREDIENTS IN MY REGULAR HOMEOPATHIC HCG DETOX DROPS:

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 6x, 12x, 30x, 60x. – Contains 16% USP Alcohol.

INGREDIENTS IN MY NEWLY-PURCHASED HOMEOPATHIC HCG WEIGHT OFF PLUS DROPS:

Arginine 3x, 12x, 30x.

Carnitine 3x, 12x, 30x.  (or like I declared before “Camitine”–which I found both online in the manner that health food supplements)

Ornithine 3x, 12x, 30x.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 6x, 12x, 30x, 60x. – Contains 20% USP Alcohol.

Now, I slip on’t know what all those numbers and x-s are on the model of those ingredients, but here’s what I found out all over those extra ingredients: (Hold on to your hairpiece and secure your environ! Some of this is gonna blow you away!)

ORTHININE – “Ornithine is prominent since it induce the release of growth hormone in the dead ~, which in turn helps with fat metabolism. It is further required according to a properly functioning immune system and liver and assists in volatile alkali detoxification and liver rejuvenation.” It also said that it was in the highest degree used with: “Arginine is needed for the production of ornithine and should subsist supplied in adequate quantities to the body. Carnitine also enhances the fact of this nutrient.” (source:  http://www.anyvitamins.com/ornithine-info.htm)

ARGININE – I looked this element up, but I sure didn’t like what I fix on this website:   http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/herbsvitaminsad/a/Arginine.htm    Of run, it was for L-arginine, not arginine…but I in good earnest don’t know what the difference is–if there is any.

I don’t want to put everything they uttered here. You can go check it out for yourself.  It’s mind of scary though!

Wikipedia says this about it: “Arginine may boost the fruit of growth hormone[18], although this has not been proven.[official call needed]” (Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginine)

Okay, I didn’t defectiveness to put this, but Wikipedia also says this about arginine, exactly like the other website did. It’s just flat deficient in scary!

Here’s a couple of scary side-effects of L-arginine…  The title reads: “Possible increased risk of death after supplementation following inner part attack” - Um,…that can’t be good!  It continues to judge: “A clinical trial found that patients taking an L-arginine add to following a heart attack didn’t improve in their vascular tone or their hearts’ ability to pump. In fact, six patients who were pique L-arginine died than those taking a placebo and the study was stopped in good season with the recommendation the supplement not be used by heart storm patients.[14][15][16] The supplement is still widely marketed. … The Mayo Clinic web page on L-arginine reports that inhalation of L-arginine be able to increase lung inflammation and worsen asthma.[17]”

(Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginine)

CARNITINE – Okay, boys and girls, this is deserved gone from scary to a little humorous.  This is what Wikipedia says near carnitine:  “‘Although L-carnitine has been marketed as a load-loss supplement, there is no scientific evidence to date to elucidate that it improves weight loss, however some studies show that vocal carnitine reduces fat mass, increases muscle mass, and reduces fatigue. All of these effects may contribute to weight loss.’” [18] … Other sources may subsist found in over-the-counter vitamins, energy drinks and various other products. Products containing L-carnitine cannot subsist marketed as “natural health products” in Canada. L-Carnitine products and supplements are not allowed to have ~ing imported into Canada (Health Canada).[23]

(Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine)

Okay, SERIOUSLY!? Canada won’t calm let anything with this synthesized ingredient into their country; and thus far, here in the States, we can’t get enough of it??? Really??

Okay, well, this is definitely not fabrication me feel very good about these new drops I have purchased.  So, suppose that you are on HCG drops and are not taking pure HCG, you potency want to discontinue them if you have heart problems, have had  a heart attack, or have asthma. Or, AT LEAST go see your instructor! I mean, stopping a clinical trial after 6 patients have died IS NOT exactly what I would deem as “early.” Maybe it’s proper me!? I don’t know.  I mean,…yes, you–we–chouse want to be thinner; but if you die, DOES IT REALLY MATTER???  Maybe I’m normal making a mountain out of a molehill. I don’t be aware of anything about supplements. I only know enough to make me unsafe.

You know, the bottom line is with anything concerning supplements, is that everything we be in want of to be healthy is in the food that God gave us. (Notice, I didn’t ~ing “the food that “we” made. Big difference. Huge dissension.) That’s how God intended for us to get everything we needed to live long, healthy lives.

And, I know I am sounding really hypocritical unswerving now–sucking down my Splenda-sweetened tea and taking my HCG drops–no more than with all the synthetic ingredients we put into our bodies, it’s none wonder we’re all jacked up! Honestly, the whole wholesome-eating scene is REALLY confusing for me. There is so a great deal of information out there–and everybody thinks they are “proper.” I guess we all have to do what the Bible says here and “work out our own salvation with fear and trepidation” (Philippians 2:12) And, yes, that is taken out of context, but the same principle remains relevant. We all have to decide the sort of we will eat, what we put into our bodies, and that which we do to our bodies, etc. I guess that’s where wisdom, self-control, discipline,…and a whole lot of truth constancy…come in!

It’s a tough call. But, in the wanting and long run, it is OURS to make.
