I have a couple of weeks before my hCG arrives and have been thinking about the loading days. Has anyone ever PLANNED for loading?

I don’t want to just eat everything in sight, only to find I don’t have enough rich foods over carbs and end up not loading properly. (Its the fats we want right?) I’m feeling like I want to make a list or a meal plan for those days and be more structured about the whole thing. I think about making sure to include a banana split or an A1 Steakhouse burger from BK, or some treat I rarely indulge in.

I know that sounds very “Last Supper”-ish but it occurs to me that after this experience I may not care to eat some things ever again. (Like some folks have mentioned regarding soda/diet soda) I mean aren’t we also, in addition to losing weight, resetting our metabolism and what our bodies interpret as fuel? I can see myself getting four days in and remembering some food that I wish I would have eaten before beginning the protocol when I had the chance and still enjoyed eating it.

I think I read here somewhere that someone thought that one of the benefits of loading was that you actually CRAVE lighter, simple, more natural foods. This is what I'm anticipating. That I won't miss being stuffed after two days of loading, and that the allowed foods will be much needed reprieve from such richness.

People always think of the one person, or CD, or food they would take with them on a deserted island if they could…

What is the one thing you made sure you ate while loading… or wished you had? (either for "last chance" purposes or in terms of insuring a successful round.)
