You're in luck. I'm volunteering myself for your online analysis while I subject myself to one of the most stringent (and effective) diets on the market. The diet that I'm talking about is the HCG diet. Some dieters opt for the HCG diet Weight Loss Clinics. I, myself, decided to go for the online (so very convenient) options offered by HCG Diet Direct.
I started off with research. It's the perfect place to begin. You should always know as much as possible about a diet before you jump in! I googled HCG. I read what came up: articles, press releases, testimonials, everything. It's very enlightening!
Then I got a bit more in depth. I looked into the actual requirements of the diet. I found out that I didn't need a prescription. (I saw this as a HUGE bonus as I don't have health insurance that would cover visits to any HCG diet weight loss clinics). I also discovered that the diet program as outlined at HCG Diet Direct is all natural and homeopathic. Their formula is called the homeopathic HCG weight loss formula.
There was plenty of detailed information on their site about the diet: its origins, its recent popularity surge, its effects (and lack of side effects). I appreciated that the site was well laid out and easy to navigate. (I also appreciated the "immediacy" of the entire process. I really dislike waiting and I think I'd dislike waiting even more if it was in one of the many HCG diet weight loss clinics I've heard about).
After reading and reading and reading...I felt like I had a pretty good grasp of the diet in general. And I have to say that I was really excited about the weight loss possibilities that it seemed I'll have access to...1 to 2 pounds per day? That's absolutely amazing. It definitely makes me intensely dedicated to sticking to the rules so I'll get the best possible results.
I felt pretty ready at this point. But then I had the same old, same old problem of nervous lack of motivation and procrastination. So I made a bet with a friend. It works wonders. I suggested we do it together and whoever breaks the diet has to buy the other one a new pair of jeans (since we're going to lose all this weight...it seemed pretty logical).
So as soon as she decides she's in (she used the excuse that she had to pass it by her husband) we'll set a date and get going. And once we get going...you'll be able to watch my progress online through daily articles that outline all my fabulously successful weight loss results (my fingers are crossed for luck right now). I'm a positive thinker. So watch for the upcoming play by play. You don't want to miss it!
