Hey all, I just decided to keep a record of my daily food intake and any notes I have about the day on here instead of in excel, which is what I was using before. So I have been on the HCG diet for about a week now, I have lost 7lbs so far! YAY! :)

Weight - 151 lbs

This morning I had a stall though, and I am thinking it is because I ate 2 pickles yesterday for the first time on this diet. Also maybe water retention?

Hershey's pure cocoa powder
1tbs skim milk (since we can have 1 tsp milk per day, and this sauce always comes out to be many many servings, the milk ends up being far less than the daily allowed amount)
a little water
stevia

I mix everything together in a small sauce pot, boil down, and let cool just a bit. Then refrigerate the rest, microwave when I want to use it. Its awesome on strawberries!
