Just got back from Rome, Italy, the home of the HcG Diet research by Dr. ATW Simeons, the man who made my middle-aged body svelte again. Almost needless to say, I ate my way through the city, and came back 4 pounds heavier than before…and it was worth every sugar-filled, carb-loaded bite!
But it brings me to the question…how did those original test subjects live in Rome on only 500 calories a day? Two grissini? Who are they kidding? Even with the HcG, and the strict supervision, it had to be a real challenge.
To me, this shows the power of HcG. If they could live in Italy and not eat bread or cheese, surely you and I can follow this diet for a few weeks, in our own homes, with access to good organic ingredients and a plethora of recipes to keep us on track.
Me, personally, I don’t really enjoy cooking. I do love eating though, and saving money. So back from holiday, off to the supermarket I go. It’s surely not the same as visiting a small mercato with cheeses and meats hanging off the ceilings and the lilting language of amore in the background…but when I am on HcG, I honestly don’t care. I keep my eyes on the prize — a slim, attractive and HEALTHY body — grab my recipes, and honestly, sometimes, I surprise myself, and my hubby, by creating a delicious meal that stays within my HcG diet plan and feeds the family too.

Excellent post, I live in the UK and visit Europe often and it is the same in France as well, there are so many cheeses, breads and pastries to take your eye of the ball! But these countries also have low rates of cancer and heart disease so they must be doing something right! I have plenty of HCG recipes on my blog, check them out!
Sounds like you really did enjoy your vacation. And that’s what vacations are for. And it’s good you are able to bring back your focus on your weight goals. Good luck!
Thanks. I’m actually eating poorly again — all that bread set me off — but determined to stay active and and eat well.
