Loading should be a fat person's dream come true. It is eat as much as you want, of whatever you want, whenever you want to eat it. Then once you have done all that, you are supposed to eat some more. Sounds easy - yeah, not so much.
I worked for starters and it is extremely hard to just stuff your mouth when you are trying to see patients at the same time, so needless to say the majority of my loading came after I got off work. I basically ransacked Taco Bell. I think the guy at the drive through window thought I was ordering for a party.
- 4 bean burritos
- 3 soft tacos
- 1 half pound cheesy potato burrito
- large Pepsi
For breakfast I had an egg, chicken (Fried) and cheese bagel from Chick-fil-a with a large sweet tea. So I know I got WAY more fat in me than I would have had on a normal day, but still I know it was not the type of "Loading day" this diet calls for. Day 2 loading will have to pick up the slack I am afraid.
So you may be wondering how the injection went. I was surprised at how easy it was and how little trouble I had doing the injection on myself. The needle is small and I had more than enough skin to pinch to administer the subcutaneous (SQ) injection to, so there was no pain. After the HCG was injected there was a brief time of itching, but that resolved on its own within 1-2 minutes. Since I did not allow the HCG to warm before I injected it, I did have the sensation of cold around the injection site, but that was quickly resolved with my own body temperature taking over.
Day two will need to be filled with more fat and calories and this will also be the day that I head to the grocery store to prepare for Monday - the first day of the 500 calories restriction.
