Chad is a pretty normal kind of guy. And this particular normal kind of guy is sick and tired of "wanting" to lose weight. He just wants to do it and stop thinking about it. So he's decided to undergo a homeopathic HCG diet weight loss program.

And he has kindly agreed to let us spy on him as he goes through the weight loss diet plan. That way we'll be able to see how effective it is and gather some tips from his experience. Watch for daily updates of his weight loss and progress as he navigates the homeopathic HCG weight loss diet plan. Here's the first day.

Chad woke up on Day 1 and immediately weighed himself. He was at 241.5 pounds.

Day 1 is a loading day (as is Day 2). Chad knew this ahead of time so he was prepared to eat as he was supposed to. Protocol requires that dieters eat as much high calorie, high fat foods on their first day as possible. In addition they are to start taking their oral HCG drops 3 times per day.

First thing after weighing himself on Day One Chad took his .4 units of homeopathic HCG drops weight loss remedy. Then he tried to choose fatty, high calorie foods for all his meals. He ate as much as he could; he didn't limit his serving sizes. Chad said he had, "...never felt so full before in his entire life even when he was in the Vegas buffet lines!" Come bedtime he thought he couldn't eat another bite so he made himself a bowl of ice cream and finished it off with a glass of whole milk.

During the normal course of events...Chad doesn't stuff himself to the verge of popping so he felt a bit uncomfortable throughout the day. But that's a normal reaction to the loading days.

Chad started off feeling that there really couldn't be an easier way to start a diet than "loading." He finished it with a different opinion. It was tougher than he had expected, but he did feel that he had done a good job. It was harder for him to fall asleep that night than normal because he was so abnormally full, but he slept like the dead once he drifted off.

To make sure that he remembered to weigh himself first thing in the morning Chad set a notebook out on his nightstand to record his daily weight.
