500 Calorie Protocol

I started the 500 Calorie Protocol on June 6, 2010 and was so excited to start as I felt so sick and bloated from the two Loading days. As I weighed in on that morning, I knew I gained and they say you want to gain between 4 to 10 lbs on your loading day. So, I did pretty good. My weigh in weight was 268.2. Wow, I can't believe I said it yet hopefully with me telling all, it will help someone else. On the VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) you do not eat breakfast. You only eat lunch and dinner. You are to drink 1/2 your weight in water. There is a strict diet for this and you can only have these foods and nothing else. Some people "cheat" on this diet, yet if you are serious about becoming healthy and loosing weight then you should stick to Dr. Simeon's protocol. I was not hungry at all and noticed my craving went away. I was able to cook and bake for others and not tempted one bit. I wanted to loose the weight and knew I could on this protocol.
