HCG Failure?

Today is the second day of the diet and fourth day of the drops for me. I HAVE indeed lost weight - so far a total of 5.5 pounds, although my scale indicates that my body fat percentage has not changed.

But, I feel sooooooooooo tired and quite a bit headachey. I went to bed at 7:00 last night! The B-12 drops haven't seemed to help - and I don't love the taste. : ) I believe the book says that the first three days can render such results. However, it seems that those of you on the Blog have had only positive results. I feel discouraged. It will be hard to maintain this if I am going to be tired and have a headache every day - so I am holding out hope that this will only be for three days.

So. . .
Positive: Lost weight! Not physically hungry. Like that we're eating healthy foods.
Con: Feel icky. Body fat percentage remains unchanged. AND, have to get through Easter with my Big Fat Greek Family without eating!

That is a bummer! I do have a question for you.. are you getting the same amount of caffeine your body is used to? If not, that could cause tiredness and headaches. Just a thought/suggestion, and hope in any event, things do improve for you, and you enjoy your Easter in spite of the diet!

Heather,

Had some of the same issues first and second day. It lessens and QUICKLY is gone. It really helped to be sure and get a bit more sleep and also to keep my caffeine intake up. I found a place close to work where I can buy unsweetened tea and put over ice... Maybe something like that would help.

If you normally drink caffeine be sure to keep that up to at least the same levels - I actually doubled mine the first few days.

Also amp up your usage of the B-12 and make it your BFF. There is no need to be shy about taking that multiple times a day.

But man five pounds? YOU ROCK!
