I don’t know what it has done to my body (I didn’t have blood tests done prior to starting) but I felt a little better while on HL.  Starved, yep, but better.  Unfortunately, I need to eat and with HL you are only “allowed” to eat once per day.  I tried very very hard to stick to it, but it’s a no go.  Even when I was doing the diet very strictly, I was gaining weight.  I’m up 5 pounds now from my start point. 

I know there are posts/blogs, etc out there that deal with what HL does to your body (hence my opening statement).  I’m not involved with that and I don’t feel any change other than I felt a bit better.  HL did NOT give me enough staying power to continue with my nursing clinicals, though, and I found I had to supplement my supplement with real food or I was dead on my feet by 2 p.m.

As such, HL is being kicked out.  I’m checking on South Beach Diet and SmartDiet.com.  I’ll start a new blog with updated stats, etc. when I figure out what I’m going to do!
