It's Day 16 for Chad on the homeopathic HCG weight loss plan. He's been trying to keep himself on his toes by re-reading the protocol frequently to remind himself of the rules. He'd hate to break one of them because he simply forgot something. The program is basic and simple. It isn't confusing or difficult to follow. This makes it easy to get a "dieting buddy." Even if you don't have a dieting buddy nearby (down the street or even in your same town or region). The HCG diet program in the Lynnwood WA region is the same as the HCG diet program in the Provo UT region so it's easy to pair up with someone for motivation even if it's someone you just found online.

On day 16 Chad got out of bed and immediately got on the scale. He was at 226 lbs. He's up half a pound from yesterday.

He checked back through yesterday's journal entry to see if there was something he needed to avoid or change for Day 16. He's been getting plenty of water by keeping track and drinking the remainder of the required water before bed if he didn't get enough in throughout the day. 

After today's slight gain he's come to the conclusion that it may not be a great habit. Drinking all that water right before bed means that the body hasn't had enough time to process it by morning. He's got water weight messing up his weight numbers in the morning. He's decided to "catch up" on his water a few hours before bedtime to be safe.

Chad's gain was only 1/2 a pound. Most wouldn't call that a lot. Many wouldn't even take notice of it as a gain. And when you think about how much water Chad drank right before bed it's likely that most of it was probably water weight.

Chad's newly adjusted plan to avoid this problem is to schedule his "water catch up" at a certain time earlier in the day. He's going to do it right before he heads out walking after work. It's something he does every day so it should work just as well as "bedtime" as a reminder to drink his water. He'll "catch up" and save just a bit for his evening hours.

Even though Chad went up on the scale this morning...he is happy with his progress. He is feeling quite energetic and more healthy than ever. He says, "I can't even tell you how good this feels. I used to feel sluggish, tired and hungry all the time. Now I never feel that way."

The homeopathic HCG weight loss plan is in line with the protocol introduced as the cure for obesity by Dr. Simeons over 50 years ago. It doesn't matter if you are in Lynnwood WA or Provo UT...the diet is the same. So there's not excuse for falling off the diet...you're not confused. You didn't misunderstand. And diet buddies abound online!
