Alright…this is article 6 in the series that will chronicle my progress through the HCG diet. So far I’ve done the research. I’ve decided what to order and I’ve challenged my friend, Lisa, to do the diet with me. She was really enthusiastic (except for grumbling about the limited foods on the diet) but then I didn’t hear back from her for several days.

So, of course, I called to harass her! Come to find out her husband’s cousin’s fiance’s sister (I think I got that right) did a similar diet and did not like it. Dang it! So I picked at her until I got the name of the actual HCG formula she used. It was called Mediral HCG Detox. So I pulled info on it. It sounds similar to HCG Diet Direct’s homeopathic HCG weight loss formula so I got in touch with HCG Diet Direct to ask them about it.

And they said that’s a product made by a different manufacturer. They have no connection to HCG Diet Direct. Mediral HCG Detox is not even the most current product made by that particular manufacturer; although some distributors still stock it. Regardless…HCG Diet Direct never provided any Mediral HCG Detox or related products created by the same manufacturer. So the reviews based off Mediral HCG Detox really didn’t relate to the diet as outlined by HCG Diet Direct.

Doesn’t life just turn out perfectly sometimes? I got to call Lisa back with this information which she relayed to her husband who called out, “Fine. She’ll never leave you alone unless you do it anyway!” I heard him say that; it’s a direct quote. I’m not embarrassed Lisa and Jay know me pretty well. And they love me anyway.

So it’s set. I’m ordering my products tonight. We’re still discussing exactly when we should start. We need to put our calendars together to figure out the perfect stretch of time. We’d like to avoid any big parties or required “out to eat” functions if possible. We’ll have to see how it works out. I’m thinking that it just might be possible. It’s only 25 days after all. But Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the fun holiday stuff if creeping up so we’ll have to keep that in mind!

Whenever the start date is…we should have our products soon since the orders will go through this evening. We’re both getting the HCG Diet Direct Homeopathic HCG Weight Loss Formula and I’m getting the cookbook and the B-Total Sublingual. (I told her to get some, but she didn’t want to so I feel totally guilt free even though it’s probably an unfair advantage when it comes to our side bet). In case you missed the earlier article detailing the “bet” we agreed that the first to “fall off” the diet will buy the other a new pair of jeans. I can’t wait!

Amelia Handley studied exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition. Yet she still found herself veering from diet to diet in order to control her weight. With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
