I woke up very depressed this morning. I stepped on the scale, and…. BAM!! A 1.4 pound weight gain. I posted a YouTube video this morning on Miracle Noodles and my weight gain . I believe it was the miracle noodles. I haven’t had them before, and I ate too much to start. I paid for it today. I felt bloated all day long and decided to drink some Dieter’s Tea. I don’t think I’m going to make that mistake again. I’ll wait a while before trying them again, and then I’ll experiment with just a little bit at a time… maybe at lunchtime, too. Oh well, live and learn.

I just started my real HCG yesterday, and I was pretty worn out today. At times, I felt nauseous. I’m not sure if the nausea was due to the miracle noodles or the real HCG hormone. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. I didn’t sleep well last night. My sleep was interrupted twice. When I woke up this morning, I didn’t feel refreshed. I would really like to get some much needed sleep tonight.

Starting Weight: 201.6

Today’s Weight: 178.4

Overnight Gain/Loss: +1.4 (UGH!!)

REAL HCG: 133 IU 2x daily under the tongue (Switched over from homeopathic on VLCD 44)

For lunch, I ate cheesy mock apple pie. I didn’t feel like eating anything else. I ate some extra apple in hopes that it will help my digestion of those miracle noodles.

Pan Seared Tilapia with Grilled Asparagus, Strawberries, and Breadstick

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to handle eating dinner tonight. The bloating of the miracle noodles lasted all day. I finally started to feel better around 6pm, so I went ahead and ate dinner. I found a sugar-free cajun seasoning and sprinkled it on my tilapia. I used just a little bit of coconut oil, and pan seared the fish. It was so good! I made grilled asparagus to go along with it. Delicious!

Lunch:

113 grams of Daisy 2% cottage cheese (90 calories)

243 grams of apple (126 calories)

I posted a video on YouTube today regarding my dinner with miracle noodles last night. I had a huge 1.4 lb weight gain overnight! yuck! I think I just ate too much too soon. I will wait a while and try again another day. I will also use just a little bit to see if I can handle them next time!

My real HCG came in today, so I started sublingual HCG! Yay! Now, I can compare real HCG vs. homeopathic HCG and see if there is a difference in my body, so stay tuned!

I was busy today, so I threw together my wonderful cheesy mock apple pie YET AGAIN. LOL. I think this is day number 4 that I have been eating this stuff for at least one meal. With a combination of needing to go to the store and just wanting to eat this for a meal, I must be plain crazy! lol

Ground Beef, Onions, Miracle Noodles, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos

I finally went to the store this afternoon, so I ate a normal meal! I decided to try out my first meal with Miracle Noodles. They are made of fiber and contain no calories. They are also very filling. Many HCG dieters seem to use them. This was my first try. I cooked chopped onions in 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Then, I added 100 grams of 96% lean ground beef, 1/2 Tablespoon of minced garlic, and 2 Tbl. of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. After rinsing and drying my miracle noodles, I added them to the mixture along with another 2 Tbl. of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Miracle Noodles do not really need to be cooked, so I simply flipped them around in the beef and onion mixture for 1-2 minutes. I have to say that they were actually pretty good! It’s a different texture than a regular noodle and a little gel-like, but I could definitely get used to them! I didn’t even eat my bread or fruit for dinner because I was very full! They did a wonderful job of picking up the flavor of the Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Next time, I will post a recipe for this gem of an item!

Here’s my breakdown for the day-

Lunch:

113 grams of Daisy 2% cottage cheese (90 calories)

139 grams of apple (72 calories)

1 Wasa cracker (35 calories)

Lunch Total: 197 calories

206 grams of onion (82 calories)

100 grams of 96% lean ground beef (130 calories)

1/2 cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth (7.5 calories)*not on protocol

Miracle Noodles (ZERO calories!)

Dinner Total: 219.5 calories

GRAND TOTAL: 416.5 calories
