Focus Focus Focus

I've just gotten through eating my 1 fruit snack (only 2 fruits are allowed). I ate an apple. I had tea for breakfast (skipped breakfast). I have to admit that every time I get a hunger cramp I get a little bit woozy. I'm about to go to my physical fitness boot camp and I'm really hoping that I"ll be able to maintain a high level of exercise on such little calories. All I can do is attempt it. I'm tempted to wear my roller derby helmet just in case I faint, I don't want to hit my head... oh wait, that might actually knock some sense into me!

I know anybody who is on a 500 calorie diet is going to lose weight. Unless you have so medical issue that is totally unheard of then it's just simple math. I understand that the HCG makes you burn about 2000 calories and I think it takes something crazy like -3000 to lose a pound. The problem I've always had in the past is that I couldn't do a low calorie diet, even a 1200 calorie diet, because it would lower my blood sugar too much due to my hypoglycemia issues. I took diet pills and wasn't hungry but quickly got dizzy, shaky, blurred vision, angry, and finally just dropped. Since the HCG is helping my body keep fueled with long term fat reserves I think it's keeping me from having those huge drops in sugar. My body is weird, the more I exercise the more I gain weight even if I keep my caloric intake low. I might be consuming more calories to off set the blood sugar and not really notice maybe. Who knows. But it's not muscle. People say it's muscle but muscle doesn't jiggle and make you not fit into your pants. The more cardio I did the more weight I would gain. I would let off exercising and then would lose it without dieting. If I dieted and exercised with out the HCG I noticed I was dropping my sugar levels, feeling ill and had a huge headache. And I still gained the weight. My theory is that I'm one of those people that have a screwed up hypothalamus and "it" tends to panic when I'm stressing my body and it goes into FAMINE MODE. Store, store, store the fat. That's my theory any way. The HCG has mad e a real different these last few days and I hope I don't go crazy and attack a cow as I'm driving to boot camp.
