Chad's moved on to Day 8 of the homeopathic HCG weight loss plan. He loves that the weight loss they advertise is actually happening. Average weight loss for homeopathic HCG weight loss plan dieters is weight per day. And Chad has so far been able to meet those weight loss averages.

Day 3 marked the beginning of the low calorie diet. Chad's been getting a good bit of experience limiting his food intake since he's already finished with Day 7 and moved on to Day 8. He's just barely noticed that the persistent thoughts about eating are not distracting him throughout the day as they did in the  beginning of the diet. He makes it through the day without feeling hungry or distracted by eating (or not eating).

His trouble time period falls between dinner and bedtime. He identified it early on. To make it easier he saves his fruit servings for this time period. He thinks that it seems to be working. 

The scale told Chad he was at 232 pounds on Day 8.

Chad's been reading up on the diet and the industry. He finds the info on unhealthy diets and the way the body reacts to them most telling. It's especially telling because most Americans have an unhealthy diet. Most Americans eat way too much; servings sizes are much smaller than most people realize.

He learned that everyone who knows anything agrees that fast food is horrible. It doesn't taste horrible (at least not to Chad), but it's horrible for the health of the body. The best choice for anyone who wants to be healthy is to prepare their own meals at home. 

He's also noticed (for the umpteenth time) that there is no workout required on the homeopathic HCG weight loss plan. There's actually not supposed to be any working out. And Chad finds that part of the diet requirements to be fantastic. 

He didn't want to question the workout rule because he likes it, but he did want to know the reasoning behind it so he called the HCG Diet Direct Support Center. They told him that the low calorie diet is limiting dieters to 600-700 calories per day and that's not enough to support a workout. It sounded perfectly reasonable.

Day 8 is complete. Chad made it through and he feels great. He's no longer feeling hungry. The first few days were tough. It's always difficult to break an old habit. But Chad feels as if he's got it under control and he's comfortable.
