HCG Day 9, Phase I, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought for the day

 You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction. -George Lorimer

--- Tip --- Your determination is starting to show.  You should be feeling good now.  Toxins should be leaving your body and you should be feeling a bit better if you haven’t in the past.  Keep me posted on your progress.  I'm anxious to hear how you are feeling. 
I feel it imperative to repeat what is written in your manual too.  Some clients may begin to slow in their weight loss number and they need to be clear on what is happening during this process.  Refer to your manual for a list of Tips for Plateaus.  It is best to be prepared should you reach this stage.  Being negative doesn’t help the process and knowledge is power so read on…..

“The weight registered by the scale is determined by two processes not necessarily synchronized.  Under the influence of hCG, fat is being extracted from the cells, in which it is stored in the fatty tissue. When these cells are empty and therefore serve no purpose, the body breaks down the cellular structure and absorbs it, but breaking up of useless cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, etc., may lag behind the process of fat-extraction. When this happens the body appears to replace..."

HCG Day 5, Phase I, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought for the day -- The past has no power over you unless you allow it to.  Give yourself a gift and live in the present.  Each moment has a new beginning that's just waiting to emerge!  - Donna Appel

-- Tip -- Keep your HCG routine going.  Are you hungry? Are you taking anything to help with appetite control? Many times, in the beginning the detoxification is major and can yield some unpleasantness.  Hang in there; drink plenty of fluids; rest.  It will get better.

If you must have a bite at breakfast, hold off as long as you can without discomfort and then eat a Kavli cracker (plain variety only) and/or some of your apple slices and a bottle of water or cup of tea.  Then around 11:00 take an herb appetite control capsule, if you have them, with a bottle of water and that should hold you over nicely.  Or just drink a cup of tea and a little more apple and get ready for lunch @ noon.

Experiment and do what feels good to your body.  The cracker and the fruit are terrific if used for those moments when hunger might creep in.  Then again, you may not experience hunger.  We are all different.  Celebrate those differences and adjust.  Just don't eat anything that isn't on the protocol.  That would be disastrous and would only hurt your effort.

A Tasty Idea!

Shrimp & Spinach Salad

As taken from Caroline Sutherland's The Body "Knows" Cookbook:

1 bunch of washed and trimmed spinach
1/2 pound hand-peeled shrimp
Juice of one lemon or lime (may be omitted if sensitive to citrus)
1 teaspoon of fresh grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (may be omitted)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon grainy mustard
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Wash & pat dry trimmed spinach. In a small bowl, combine lemon or lime juice, lemon rind, olive oil, vinegar, mayonnaise & grainy mustard. Toss 1/2 of dressing with spinach just before serving. Sprinkle shrimp over salad, add remaining dressing and sprinkle w sesame seeds.

Enjoy!

HCG Day 17, Phase II, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought for the day -- The values we live by are worth more when we pass them on.  -Author Unknown

--TIP-- Now that you have discovered something that works like nothing else you have ever tired before, pass it along.   Don't forget about getting your hormones checked out.  Physical imbalances can cause weight gain and addictive behaviors.  Don't let eating get out of hand again.  Contact your coach for further direction beyond weight loss.  This is critical for long term success.  When you are done with Phase II, check out our website under weight loss for everyday healthy recipes and other ideas for maintaining control and great health.

HCG Day 12, Phase I, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought for the day -- Lessons can be learned through awareness.  Be aware, open and grateful for the opportunities.  -Author Unknown

--Tip -- Are you getting a little bored with the food?  Try this recipe to help spice things up a bit.  Remember too,  rotate your food choices.  Variety is the spice of life and will help get that weight off just a tad bit quicker.  Don’t make this or any meal a habit.  Experiment with things that are different and new. 

Shrimp & Tomatoes - Season cleaned, peeled shrimp with sea salt and red pepper flakes (to your taste).  Heat a non-stick pan and add cherry tomatoes (or a large tomato cut into small pieces - whatever your weight allotment is for this meal).  Sauté until they just start to break down.  Add shrimp and cook until they just start to turn pink (about 2 minutes).  Flip shrimp over and cook another 2 minutes.  Also works with other fish choices. 

Every day is a opportunity to try something new.  Enjoy!

HCG Day 2, Phase I, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought For The Day

Thinking about where you’ve been or what you did wrong in the past are not productive in leading an inspired life.  Be totally engaged in the now.  Enjoy the journey.  -Donna Appel

Today is day two. Get up and weigh in, record your weight and take your hCG.   Enjoy the last day of your "pig out"!

Remember, lay off the sugar - you are aiming for increasing fat consumption, not a sugar spike. AND get ready to begin your 500 calorie per day eating tomorrow. Shop, weigh, wrap - get prepared for the next few days. Read your book. Whatever you do, have fun eating - bulk up on the fat - and get ready for the weight loss phase to begin tomorrow!

HCG Day 3, Phase II, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought for the Day

Man cannot discover new oceans
unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.  -Andre Gide

You are into day three of Phase II.  You may be feeling a little discouraged if you see the scale go up even though you have not broken the rules of the protocol.  DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED.  What you are experiencing is normal.  It is part of the process.  Remember if you gain more than two pounds, do a STEAK DAY.  Yes, it works.  Take an Ener-G cap around 11:00am in the morning and it will help you get through the day.  Have that big steak for dinner with an apple or cucumber.  Nothing else.  You will be lighter the next day. 

Keep up the pace until the end of 21 days.  As you near the end, you will notice your weight begin to stabilize.  You won't need steak days.  If you gain a pound or two it easily comes off if you tone down your food intake for the day.  You will notice the changes from your old eating habits to your new eating habits.   The new you is beginning to emerge.   Treat that new you well and in a healthy manner and it will serve you for many many many years to come.

HCG Day 8, Phase 1, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Thought for the Day

"Our problems cannot be resolved in the same state of consciousness in which we’ve created them” - Einstein

You are into week 2 already.  Your body will start changing now.  Don't forget to work on your mind.  Changing habits is best begun by being aware.  If you accustom to eating in front of the TV, stop doing that.  Start being a conscious eater.  Start working on changes that will stay with you the rest of your life.  Start working on changes that will keep you healthy and lean the rest of your life.  You are on your way to great success. 

Congrats to you for taking the first steps.  Enjoy your day.

Thought for the Day: 
"We live our lives in chains, never knowing we have the key"  -The Eagles

Get ready, get set ….. the end is near.  There is light at the end of the tunnel.  You are doing an awesome job.  Contact your coach if you have questions and remember, once Phase I is completed, you’ll move into Phase II.  No more calorie counting in phase II either.  You’ll be letting the scale guide you along the way.

HCG Day 1, Phase 1, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Nothing we ever imagined is beyond our power, only beyond our present self-knowledge. -Theodore Rozak

Today is day one. You get to "pig out" today.  Get up and weigh in, record your weight and take your hCG.  Bulk up on the fat more than the sugar.  It is the fat you need not the sugar rush.   Remember, the more you fatten up today and tomorrow, the easier it will be hunger wise, when day three rolls around.

HCG Day 12 Phase II, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.   - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Trust that you are on the right path.  Trust that you are able to maintain the weight loss you have worked so hard to attain.  You are on the home stretch and with a little more commitment to healthy eating, no starch and no sugar, you will celebrate your accomplishment.

Keep improving on the foods you eat.  Greens, veggies and protein, that you are consuming should be making up the majority of the food that you ingest.  Getting on the scale in the morning will be as normal as brushing your teeth.  Very soon, your weight will normalize and you'll be back in the saddle, a much wiser human being.


Now you know (NYK)!

HCG Day 6 Phase II, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

You won't realize the distance you've walked
until you take a look around and realize
how far you've come.  

- Author Unknown

Now is the time to look back and realize what it took to get you to the point of being unhealthy.  Take that knowledge along with what you are learning now and use it to create a new reality of good health, good body, good mind and ultimately good spirit.  Life is an adventure, look forward and start creating the life that you want to explore. 

Continue on Phase II.  I can't stress enough - NO CHEATING.  You will only be cheating yourself in the end.  You have come this far are realize how precise and exact this regime is.  Continue with that realization.  Phase II is not different than Phase I in terms of following the instructions to the letter.  You will reap the rewards at the end of the 21 day cycle that you are currently in.

HCG Day 25 Phase 1, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

People are doing the very best they can given their level of awareness. 
- Depak Chopra

Tip:  If others have been making negative comments, try to ignore them.  I know it is hard but it is only in their ignorance that they speak.  Teach them.  Show them.  Prove them incorrect.  I was once where you are.  Look at where I am now.  You can do this.  You can rid yourself of the weight and keep it off.  Forever!  All you need to do is start taking better care of yourself in the future.  Start thinking about ways you can do this.  Rid your pantry of those killer foods.  Start focusing on eating real food; natural proteins, vegetables and fruits.  Listen to your body.  When day 41 rolls around, you'll want to be prepared to feed your body the foods that it will crave and desire and it won't be starch and sugar. 

Got a sugar craving?  Eat some sweet fruit and savor the experience.  Save the cheats for when you are out and about.  When you are home, treat it as your sanctuary, keeping it pure and simple.  You have two sanctuaries now, your physical abode and your physical body.  Honor them both.

Now you know (NYK) to seize the day!

HCG Day 24 Phase 1, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

A new way of thinking - When I reach for things that I know are not good for me, I step back, take a deep breath and choose differently.

I feel it imperative to repeat what is written in your manual once again to avoid frustration mode.  When your weight loss number slows, you really need to be clear on what is happening during this process.  This information can be referenced in your manual.  The idea is to keep you prepared and ready should a plateau occur.  Remember your thoughts create your reality and knowledge is power!

If you are hitting a plateau, email or fax me your food intake sheets and let me review them.  Many times I can spot something that is amiss and with a little adjusting, we can get you back on track.  Don’t delay sending them though.  Every day counts.  You want to realize the maximum loss as your days for losing are numbered in Phase I only.

HCG Day 23, Phase 1, Hints, Tips and Inspiration

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. 
- Martin Luther King Jr.

Your determination is starting to show.  You should be feeling good now.  Toxins should be leaving your body and you should be feeling a bit better if you haven’t in the past.  Keep me posted on your progress.  I'm anxious to hear how you are feeling.

I feel it imperative to repeat what is written in my book.  Some clients may begin to slow in their weight loss number and they need to be clear on what is happening during this process.  Refer to your book for a list of Tips for Plateaus.  It is best to be prepared should you reach this stage.  Being negative doesn’t help the process and knowledge is power so read on…..

“The weight registered by the scale is determined by two processes not necessarily synchronized.  Under the influence of hCG, fat is being extracted from the cells, in which it is stored in the fatty tissue. When these cells are empty and therefore serve no purpose, the body breaks down the cellular structure and absorbs it, but breaking up of useless cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, etc., may lag behind the process of fat-extraction. When this happens the body appears to replace some of the extracted fat with water which is retained for this purpose. As water is heavier than fat the scales may show no loss of weight, although sufficient fat has actually been consumed to make up for the deficit in the 500-Calorie diet. When then such tissue is finally broken down, the water is liberated and there is a sudden flood of urine and a marked loss of weight.”

“After the fourth or fifth day of dieting the daily loss of weight begins to decrease to one pound or somewhat less per day, and there is a smaller urinary output. Men often continue to lose regularly at that rate, but women are more irregular in spite of faultless dieting. There may be no drop at all for two or three days and then a sudden loss which reestablishes the normal average. These fluctuations are entirely due to variations in the retention and elimination of water, which are more marked in women than in men.”

“A plateau lasts 4-6 days and frequently occurs during the second half of a full course, particularly in patients that have been doing well and whose overall average of nearly a pound per effective injection has been maintained. Those who are losing more than the average all have a plateau sooner or later. A plateau always corrects itself, but many patients who have become accustomed to a regular daily loss get unnecessarily worried and begin to fret.  No amount of explanation convinces them that a plateau does not mean that they are no longer responding normally to treatment.”

A plateau can also occur a few days before and during a woman’s menstrual period and again during ovulation. As with the above mentioned plateau, it will always correct itself and should not be a reason for concern.

Now get out there and enjoy your day and know that you are worthy of change and commitment to yourself.

Donna
