Many of you have been “following” Chad for some time now. You have been returning to read the next day’s notes and see if Chad did a good job. You enjoy seeing when he drops a lb. or so. You like to listen to what he did in a rough spot. You enjoy hearing how he discovered why he did not lose a lb. or so. But there’s something that some of you should know.

Chad’s weight loss adventure is also available by video. Articles aren’t the only way to “watch” Chad. There are people all over the place interested in Chad’s prgress. People are watching Chad’s progress on the HCG diet in Seattle, Wa. There are more people doing the same thing in San Antonio. And still more in San Diego. Chad’s more accessible now than he has ever been.

Some of us still prefer an article, but there are definitely those who really just want a quick video blip. But for you readers out there..no worries! Chad’s HCG diet progress is still available here. Today, on Day 20, he weighed 225.5 pounds. He’s down another half a pound. Yeah! He’s on track and headed in the right direction.

And do you know why I say that he’s back on track? It’s because Chad has now officially dropped back below his “pre-move” weight. If you missed that part of Chad’s HCG dieting journey I’ll fill you in. Chad was doing great. And then he had a big disruption…he and his family packed up and moved! That’s a rough one to handle on the HCG diet even if you’re ultra prepared. And Chad did not prepare. And he reaped the consequences. He gained weight. And that’s a harsh punishment after all the hard work that has gone into the diet.

Chad is not back on the diet and doing what he needs to be doing. Chad said, “Well it’s not a full pound but I’ll take half a pound.” His pre-move weight was 226 pounds and he’s below that. (He’s started using it as a benchmark in the last few days). He feels good. He also feels like he is starting to show the weight loss that he’s been showing on paper. His clothes are bit loser and his belt has definiely had to see some adjustments.

Chad said, “The food part of the diet is critical. The pocket guide is the HCG dieter’s food bible and you have to follow it exactly.”

Chad’s weight loss success has caught the attention of 2 of his work asssociates on the diet. And they’ve just started. So now Chad has HCG lunch buddies. Chad checks in with the reps at HCG Diet Direct each day so that they can ensure that he is documenting all his dieting movements adequately.

And if you haven’t checked out the videos…do it! You might get a kick out of them after getting to know Chad in writing. So watch Chad on the HCG diet in Seattle, WA or San Antonio, TX or Amarillo! It doesn’t matter where you are…Chad will come to you via text or video; your choice!

Are you on the HCG Diet? Have you heard about it at least? Most people have. It’s one of the most effective means of drastic weight loss available. It’s very beneficial in many instances because weight is so closely related to so many aspects of an individual’s health.

Many people are aware of the possibilities advantages of weight loss and they are turning to the HCG diet for help. Programers are kept to a 500 calorie program. It is tough. No one will argue that point. The list of approved foods is extremely short. And many find the 500 calorie limit shocking. Portion sizes are regulated exactly as well.

So how to dieters make it “easier” to complete the program? Many are coming up with HCG diet cheats. This, of course, will lower your weight loss potential. The program was designed for weight loss and making exceptions to the rules will decrease the weight loss potential. There are basically two things to remember when it comes to cheating on the HCG diet:

1. If you don’t cheat you’ll lose more weight.

2. If you are going to cheat…be smart about it.

Some of the smarter HCG diet cheats that have been tossed about and discussed are listed below:

1. Jello (Sugar Free)

2. Sugar free whipped cream (or fat free/sugar free)

3. Popsicles (sugar free)

4. Crystal Light

5. Diet sodapop

We do not support cheating. I, myself, actually believe in the old phrase, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.” It is only logical. But the thing with dieting is that cheating only hurts the dieter. So it’s your decision. You will absolutely drop more weight if you do not cheat at all; never forget that.

Now that we’re clear on that…if you ARE going to go ahead and cheat then choose one of the HCG diet cheats that is the least intrusive to the protocol. If you are trying to decide between a 10 calorie Jello cup and a piece of lava filled chocolate cake that is probably 1500 calories…go for the Jello. It will have less of a negative effect on your program.

Today’s entry is dedicated to Chad’s brother, Seth. Chad just wanted to make sure Seth got a mention by name because Seth was so adamant in his insistence that Chad wouldn’t be able to lose any weight using the homeopathic HCG diet. He actualy went so far as to make a bet with Chad that before the end of the diet Chad would resort to the HCG shot for weight loss in order to make his VLCD dieting worth the effort.

And, again, Chad’s little brother was just….oh…so wrong! Chad says it happens ALL the time. And in less than a week Seth will owe Chad $50. That’s what happens when you put your money where you mouth is and you’re a big, BIG talker like Chad’s brother.

Chad has not turned to the HCG shot for weight loss. He hasn’t even thought about it. There’s been no need! So far he is meeting the average weight loss numbers that are promoted by the majority of HCG-shot-for-weight-loss providers simply by sticking to the protocol for his chosen homeopathic program.

On the mornign of day 21 Chad got on the scale like normal. And he was down to 224 pounds. He’s excited about his continued weight loss.

Chad’s feeling good. He said, “I only all of you coudl feel how I feel today…you’d be amazed. I’m at 224 pounds and I am so excited about it. This diet is the bomb!”

Chad’s eating habits have changed drastically. He’s accustomeed to the more healthy eating options that the diet taught him to stick to. He’s accustomed to eating a lot less as well. He really learned to enjoy trying new recipes from the recipe guide. They offer a lot of variety as well as being a healthy option. His clothes are starting to fall off, too. That’s what happens when you lose drastic weight. You have to go shopping! Chad’s gearing up for a shopping trip when he’s finished dieting.

There are just a few days left on the VLCD. Then Chad will move on to the maintenance phase. He’ll get to add a lot more calories to the day, but he’ll still have to follow the rules. He’s feeling great and confident in his ability to eat right and stick to the rules.

When asked which part of the diet was the hardest Chad said that it was the cold turkey lack of food. It took him a few days to get used to. He thinks that most dieters will find it difficult to cut their portion sizes down so drastically all at once. But he also thinks that most dieters will find that they are fine with the calorie limitations/portion sizes after only a few days.
