Day 4 Food Log

AM Weight: 230 lb.

8:20 AM HCG drops.

Note: I got thrown off schedule by my late night encounter with the medical establishment. I woke up around eleven, drank black coffee, swallowed my potassium and magnesium and headed to the hospital to see my lady. Because I was rushed and slightly out of kilter, I forgot to take my AM phenylalanine.

The quaint town where I diet is in the process of repairing a water main within the heart of the metropolis and the city fathers have created a maze of detours. What would usually have been a five-minute drive turned into a much longer and slower process. I stopped off at Walgreens to get my lady some cookies. The delays would have put me behind schedule had I been on a schedule. Instead, it just put me behind.

The patient in question would be sleeping when I returned so I went to a shop and killed some time. Not growing up with a cell phone in my hand, I still marvel at the convenience the gadget provides, Google Latitude notwithstanding. Ms. D. called me and I hiked back to her hospital room.

I was finally able to eat at 4;30 PM. I consumed 16 oz. of  Nasoya Pasta Zero Shirataki Spaghetti. I will probably discuss this food item at a later date though I am still unsure if I will ever eat it again. 1 lb. serving provides 60 calories and 16 grams of carbohydrate.
With the spaghetti, I had a cup of Market Basket Tomato and Basil sauce. 26 grams of carbohydrate, 4 grams of fat.
Still feeling hungry, I ate 4.5 oz. roasted turkey breast with mustard.
I took garcinia cambogia, berberine and hoodia with dinner. The hoodia is working well. As of 10:27 PM, I am experiencing zero hunger, albeit I keep thinking about food.

PM: In the evening I sipped cold black coffee.

12 Midnight: Garcinia cambogia

12:30 AM: 11 oz. roasted turkey breast, 7 oz. radishes, 5 oz. celery
                    Caralluma fimbriata, berberine,
                    Magnesium, multivitamin, melatonin, dephenhydramine.

1:45 AM: HCG drops. (Almost forgot the cornerstone of this diet.)

I failed to schedule my arginine. Also, I skipped on cinnamon and cocoa, two appetite suppressants because I was not hungry.

Recorded steps for April 22: 4212. 1.5 miles.

A food I will consume shortly after the conclusion of the 30 day diet: A big bag of Fritos.

Day 4 Weight Log:

Day 0....April 18, 2017...237 lb.

Day 3....April 21, 2017...230 lb. !
Day 4....April 22, 2017...230 lb. Actually, the needle did repeatedly go to the left of 230 but not every single time I restepped onto the scales. Also, I could twist and wiggle and get it below 230 but that's not really sporting.

Day 3 Food Log:

AM Weight: 230 lb.

9:45 AM: HCG drops.


AM: Black coffee, two teaspoons of l-phenylalanine, magnesium, potassium

1 PM: 11 oz. smoked turkey breast with mustard. Garcinia cambogia, berberine, hoodia.

Diet soda throughout AM for caffeine.

10 PM: 10 oz. Black Forest ham. Garcinia cambogia, caralluma fimbriata, berberine,

Note: Work was aunusually busy and I did not eat dinner until 10 PM and I delayed taking my arginine supplement until I arrived home (Of course that would later be missed once again due to our visit to the ER. So I missed out on arginine for the day.)

12 Midnight: HCG drops.

Note: shortly after midnight I took my significant other to the emergency department. They would admit her to their snazzy, attached hospital. Serious but not life threatening. I returned home around 3:30 AM and ate 5 oz. smoked turkey breast with mustard at 3:45 AM.

I took magnesium and a Walgreen's multivitamin. Due to poor planning, I have run out of my preferred brand, Radical Shield from Life Enhancement.

Due to the fact that I was excessively sleepy, I skipped the melatonin and diphenhydramine.

Lesson: Emergencies do not take a holiday and they do not respect your weight loss programs.

Also, due to the change of schedule, I missed my arginine supplement that is supposed to be taken on an empty stomach.

Recorded steps for April 21: 5275. 1.5 miles.

What I would like to eat shortly after I conclude the 30 day diet: A steak dinner from Texas Roadhouse. We have a gift card we have not used.

Poor planning on my part. I exceeded the carb limit for the day. Realizing my mistake, I decided to treat myself to an oz. of pretzels.
