Eat to Live

Hello Everyone!

I just want to give an update.  I have lost a total of 15 lbs and I feel great!  I completed one round on the HCG diet and after 4 weeks I lost a total of 10 lbs.  While there is a lot of controversy over only eating 500 calories, diet consist of only eating whole foods, nothing processed:  Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and lean protein.  All of these foods offer your body great nutrients, and lots of energy.  Prior to starting the HCG diet I would have massive food cravings for starches, sweets, and chips; I was hitting the vendor machine every afternoon and on occasion, I went twice a day.  However, after I completed the 4 weeks of the HCG diet and 4 weeks of the maintenance phase I was finally able to kick all of those cravings.  I thought that the cravings was just part of life and that I needed to strengthen my will power.   Well, come to find out, all that I needed to do was to rid myself of all of those toxins in my system.  The biggest part of eating healthy is being prepared and have healthy food on had at all times, and plan ahead.  After completing the maintenance phase of the HCG diet, I moved on to creating a permanent healthy eating life style by following the book "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
