there has been lots of debate of the HCG Diet!

some doctors called it a dubious scam and some others support it with dear life. you have got to read the notes from the person who invented this diet: • Dr. Simeon's Protocol.

anyway, i have come to the end of sticking my body with syringe needles and i have lost a  little more than 10 kg, which was wonderful, considering Dr Simeon targeted result of only 7 kg in 30 days.
and owh, before it slips my mind, i have to thank my doctor Dr Nurdiyayana Ihsan who has been monitoring my weight loss and was there to assists me when i reach the plateau, or when my weight wont budge! thanks doc! i owe you my dignity and self respect.

i have been following the link http://www.hcgplan.net/ for more info and Valarie has almost complete articles about HCG. big thank you to Valarie too for unselfishly share almost everything you need to know about this wonderful diet.

in three days from now i wont be a "pregnant women" anymore, now that the hormone will be fully purge out of my system, that's a relief - and you know what? i still haven't grow breasts and my facial hair is still intact, sumpah! I swear

on the contrary, now that i won't be assisted by the hormone to burn the fat, will i gain weight for phase 3, where i could introduce slowly dairy products like cheese and a little oil into the menu. the food intake could be increase to 1500 gm and i m afraid all those hard dieting would go down the drain with weight gain. gulp!!!!

there are some truth in what the skeptical doctors says: any one who eats only 500 gm of food each day with or without the help of the hormone would loose weight. so what happens if you eat more food? would i gain weight?  takotnyer!

Dr Simeon in his protocol explains "Here too, the explanation is quite simple. During treatment the patient has been only just above the verge of protein deficiency and has had the advantage of protein being fed back into his system from the breakdown of fatty tissue. Once the treatment is over there is no more HCG in the body and this process no longer takes place. Unless an adequate amount of protein is eaten as soon as the treatment is over, protein deficiency is bound to develop, and this inevitably causes the marked retention of water known as hunger- edema. The treatment is very simple. The patient is told to eat two eggs for breakfast and a huge steak for lunch and dinner followed by a large helping of cheese and to phone through the weight the next morning. When these instructions are followed a stunned voice is heard to report that two lbs. have vanished overnight, that the ankles are normal but that sleep was disturbed, owing to an extraordinary need to pass large quantities of water. The patient having learned this lesson usually has no further trouble.

there is no turning back! i will have to persevere and see what happens next. owh my body!

seriously!

i just can't believe it!

i am only one shot away to complete the session of sticking foreign hormone into my montel, comel cute tummy. 

come sunday i am done with syringe and hormone - owh what a relief! sumpah i swear! 

nevertheless, already by now i felt like a junkie, serious! but the good thing is that the injection into the fatty layer of the gut just below the belly button, leaves no marks at all due to the size of the needle. there was no blood blotch as well. immediately after taking the shot, i could just put on my shirt over the jabbed area and the shirt stays sparkling clean.

having said that, for the following 3 days the existing diet resume while the body detoxs from the HCG. but this is still not the end of the story. so what happens next?

i will have to shift gear to Atkins Diet for the next 3 weeks - just when i began to think that the suffering would finally be over. it is not.

while the good thing is that, the portion of meat and vege doubles to 200gm for lunch and dinner, and i could introduce a little oil into the cooking, just tiny, puny oil - no more! but the bad thing - strictly still no sugar (i use stevia drops into my coffee or ice lemon tea so i am ok) but no carbo and no starch, outch!!! that hurts like hell very much. already there are tears in eyes just thinking of the appetizing char koew tiew or mee mamak or pizza that i missed so very much at this point in time.

to make matters worst, there is an instruction from above for me to be part of the Team Building Workforce which will be carried out in a jungle somewhere in kuala kubu baru next week. "sudah jatuh di timpa tangga, pasu bunga pula menghempap kepala".

Oh my goodness, i just have to carry my entire kitchen to that goddamn place now don't i?

after you get a new body, what do you do?

shopping for new clothing of course. you deserve to change the skin after you have shed 10 kilos. its a celebration. 

call it Narcissism (the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's own attributes), if you want. i dont give a damn!

anyway, few days ago i went to adidas boutique in Alamanda and there was this one  t-shirt that i fall in love with. it has just the right soft material, colour and design that i have been looking for, but alas, they don't have my size! bloody hell, what so special about this t-shirt is that it uses zipper instead of ordinary button from the neck to the chest. 

i was exasperated, no way am i going to accept the fate without giving it a tenacious fight.

for the past couple of days it has been nagging at me and today immediately after work, i went on a crusade of searching for the much desired outfit. first i went to alikhsan warehouse at the bangi sentral they have the right shirt but shit unfortunately the only one left is under size. i am more determined by now to hunt for it if i have to go to all their outlets and eventually to the supplier. i got the sale person to give me the code number of the item.

without wasting much precious time i race like hooligan to ioi city mall at putrajaya and showed them the code number while crossing my fingers. they looked at the computer and "sir we have one left of your size, do you want it? i grabbed the outfit like it was kin. boy was i lucky cause it was a 30% sale item. the salesman showed me the latest arrival section to somewhat similar pattern in white only slicker! and i wanted that as well for sure.

i went home beaming from ear to ear and felt all the running-around was all worth it!
