Hi everyone, my name is Jacob and I am on day 3 of loading for the hCG diet plan. So far so good! This seems like the easiest part of the diet. I basically just continue with my bad eating habits, throw in some extra junk food and chocolate, and take the hCG drops.

As I am writing this it is 5pm here in sunny Arizona and I am just 7 hours away from going on the low calorie diet. Being a true procrastinator, I have yet to buy a single item on the hCG shopping list. It seems a little strange to be munching on junk food while preparing a grocery list of food that would make any health doctor proud, but it is all part of the “Simeons protocol”. I am really excited about some of the foods like shrimp, crab, and chicken which I love, and a little nervous about what is not on the list like fettuccine alfredo, mashed potatoes, and dark chocolate. One of the advantages of this diet not being “fresh off the shelf” though is that there is a plethora of recipes that sound delicious.

I actually found a recipe for grissini a few days ago and decided to give it a try before I start the diet since I had never heard of grissini before and it turns out they are pretty good. A little too good since my family managed to eat them all up, so I will have to make some more now!

I have asked Jacob to share the Grissini recipe with us and will update this post with it when I receive it.
