Guilty Pleasure

Lets face it each and every one of us has that one special food related 

guilty pleasure.

It could be chocolate.

Maybe a slice of apple pie.

Or maybe a big bowl of pasta?

It makes you feel good to eat it.

And we all know that indulging in these guilty pleasure

usually goes straight to our hips or thighs 

and stays there.

But it is okay!

It is not the end of the world.

And shouldn't be the end of your weight loss journey.

In fact, it could be a good thing to indulge 

in a bite or two.

Take a bite, 

Get it out of your system 

And then jump back on the horse.

You can do it! 

Don't let it consume you with guilt.

Food Hangover

Have you ever woken up feeling bloated, irritable, foggy, tired, fat and just all around not feel good?

If so you may be suffering from a Food Hangover!

I woke up this way this morning.

Yes, I had a "cheat" weekend.

I consciously made the decision that I was going to eat whatever I felt like.

Mostly it wasn't food that was "bad" for my diet,

it was the amount that I ate.

And yes, the scales reflected it this morning!

Up 2 whole pounds!  

I don't feel bad about gaining the 2 lbs

But I do feel bad that I have to lose them again.

Its so hard to lose them in the first place!

So today I am doing a yogurt day. 

I previously posted about this for those of you that do not know what it is. 

You can find that post here:

"FAGE" Day

On my "FAGE" Day 

I lost 2.6 lbs!

13.4 lbs

It does appear to work.

"Fage" Day

Today I making a guinea pig of myself and trying something new to see what kind of results I get.

What is a "Fage" Day?

If you are familiar with the HCG Diet Protocol,

then you have probably heard of the "Apple" or "Steak" day to correct a stall in weight loss (Phase2)

or a weight gain (Phase 3)

The newest rage is called a "Fage" Day

Fage is a brand of Greek yogurt

that comes in 0%, 2% and full fat varieties.

"Fage" Day guidelines for Phase 2 are as follows:

If you are having a stall or need to correct a cheat,

Eat 24 ozs of 0% Fage along with 8 ozs of any of the allowed fruits.

Using stevia to sweeten (if desired)

I am on my second bowl at the moment.

Personally I feel this is a LOT of yogurt to eat in one day

Ahh the life of a guinea pig....

Will Report Results tomorrow!

on my current round of HCG!!

Be back soon I hope.

Dieting and Sickness

According to all the news reports,

 the reported cases of the flu are on the rise and running rampant across the entire nation.

I seem to have caught some type of bug myself

although I am not sure if it is the flu at this point.

My stomach is a mess.

My temperature is slightly elevated.

I just plain don't feel well.

I have never experienced these type of symptoms while doing the HCG protocol. 

Which leads me to believe it is something more.

I did not gain nor lose on today's weigh in.

I remained the same as yesterday.

I am going to take it easy today and see things go.

I will continue with the Phase 2 protocol

until I know for sure if this is the flu.

Apple Cinnamon Water

Apple Cinnamon Water

Drop the apple slices in the bottom of the pitcher

Does Anyone Read This?

I had to laugh when I saw this!

Since starting this blog a couple of weeks ago I have as of yet no followers and no comments!

Makes me wonder if I am spinning my wheels?

But I will keep posting!

Maybe one thing I post will make a  difference in one persons journey!

Results, Stress and Alcohol

Day 3 Results... the good news is that I am down another pound.

That is a total of 8 pounds in 3 days!

The bad news is that I drank a glass of wine last night before going to bed.

Which leads me to examine why I felt the need to sabotage myself and my goals.

If you are trying to lose weight and are dealing with too much stress in your life, your body may be going through processes that sabotage your weight loss efforts.

Stress causes your body to release cortisol, which is a stress hormone.

When you body releases an excess of cortisol it interferes with your metabolic processes.

 On New Years Eve, my daughter (age 31) suffered a minor stroke. 

She is in good health, not overweight and this was totally unexpected.

As a Mom, I have worried myself sick.

As a Mom when your child, no matter what age, is hurt or sick you stress over what you can do to help. 

It a natural instinct.

My sleep for the past week has not been good.

I thought maybe having a glass of wine would help me to sleep better even if just for one night.

It didn't help.

I tossed an turned all night long. 

Some good news is that she seems to be doing okay

 and at this point has somewhat recovered from her ordeal.

A bit more good news is that I can keep going on my weight loss journey 

and learn from my mistake.

Vitamin Supplements

They are essential for our bodies to function properly, for growth, energy and for our general well-being. With very few exceptions the human body cannot manufacture or synthesize vitamins. They must be supplied in our diet or in man-made dietary supplements.

While it is recommended that you get as many as possible from your daily intake of food, 

when following a low calorie diet it is essential that you take a daily supplement to achieve the recommended daily allowance.

Vitamins can help with your metabolism and actively increase your wight loss.

If you are not already taking daily supplements and are not sure which ones you should take, please check with your physician. 

I personally take a multi-vitamin, calcium supplement, and Vitamin B-12.

I can often tell if I have forgotten to take my vitamins due to the lethargy I feel during the day.

The list of  all vitamins is long and varied. 

Here is a list of the most essential vitamins and the recommended daily allowance.

***This information is for educational purposes only.

Please check with your physician before starting any vitamin regime***

Boredom and Late Night Snacking

Do you turn to food to alleviate boredom?

I know I used to!

A great way to tell is when you feel hungry instead of eating try first drinking a glass of water.

Water is a dieters best friend. 

It will fill you up without all the calories of eating a snack. 

Often times you will find that one you have drunk some water the hunger pains will disappear!

Are you a late night snacker?

This has always been one of my greatest problems. 

In the past few days I have finally come to understand why!
 If you're eating in the middle of the night, you're more likely to overeat and make poor food choices.

During the day, your brain and muscles use some of the calories you eat for fuel, and the rest gets stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. At night, your body converts that glycogen into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream to keep your blood-sugar levels steady while you sleep. Once the stored glycogen is gone, your liver starts burning fat cells for energy. Yes, you read that right—you burn fat while you sleep.

If you get those night time cravings its your brain telling you its time to go to bed.

You body needs adequate rest to burn those stores of fat.
A body needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night.

A Change in Focus

As I have stated before I started this blog to keep myself accountable and to let you know that there are products that are out there to help you in YOUR weight loss journey.

I have tried to keep it simple and to the point.

But let's face it... weight loss in any form is not simple and not straight to the point.

It is a journey that is different for everyone.

Not everything works the same on each body.

It is a trial and error process that each individual must preform to see what works best for them.

The internet is clogged with information and products to help you. 

It could take a person years to sort through it all.

I have decided that I am going to post for you the information that I find to be relevant and the products that have worked well for me so that you can find the right path for you.  

I foresee that my post count will go up as there is so much information available.

I hope you continue to follow along with me on my journey and 

find some useful things for yourself along the way!

Day 3 of the Gorge and Shopping Day

Day 3 of gorging and its been tough!  

It amazes me how hard it it to do the gorging phase when obviously 

overeating is what got me here in the first place!

Time to make a shopping list and head off to the grocery store!

Tomorrow will be day number 1 of the very low calorie diet and I want to be prepared.

Below is Dr Simeons' Protocol.

The dos and dont's. 

As with any weight loss regime,

I have learned on my previous rounds that you have to experiment and find what works for you.

There are some great recipes that I will be sharing that work well with the VLCD.

Stay tuned!

PROTOCOL DIET 

1. Liquids: You must drink at least two quarts of water, but up to a 

gallon is preferred. This amount of fluid should be spaced throughout 

the day. It is best to use filtered water instead of tap. (1 rule of thumb is 

to divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces of water 

minimum per day). 

2. Breakfast: Tea (herbal, green black etc.) in any quantity. You may 

drink tea or coffee throughout the day if desired. You may sweeten your 

tea or coffee with stevia. 

3. Lunch and Dinner: Your choice of 3.5 ounces (measured raw) of 

super lean beef, veal, chicken breast, turkey breast, white fish, lobster, 

crab, shrimp. 

Ensure that the meat is very lean with no marbling. All visible fat must 

be removed before cooking. The meat can be cooked by broiling, 

grilling, or boiling with no additional fat or oils. Again, all meat is to be 

carefully weighed in the uncooked state. 

Vegetables, from the following list can be chosen per meal: (calories 

shown are for ½ cup) You may mix your vegetables, however, if you 

stall on weight loss one of the first tricks to stop a stall is to stop mixing 

your vegetables. 

Cauliflower (32) Lettuce, chard, bok choy, beet (13) 

Broccoli (32) Asparagus (26) 

Celery, fennel (8) ½ cup eggplant 

Cabbage (24) 1 tomato (18) 

Cucumbers (10) Radishes (13) 

Green or red pepper (18) Zucchini 

Spinach (23) Mushrooms (15) 

Onions (49) 

It is best to eat the vegetables raw if possible. You can eat celery, 

lettuce or cucumbers in any reasonable portion if you are hungry. 

1 Fruit, from the following list, may be chosen per meal or you may 

use it as a snack (fruits should be eaten at least 6 hours apart): 

10 Strawberries 

½ Grapefruit 

1 Orange 

1 Apple 

½ cup cherries, raspberries or blueberries 

MISC. 

You may have the juice of one lemon per day as well as one tablespoon 

of milk per day. 

With each meal you may choose a fat free or very low fat cracker 

serving that is around 50 calories per serving. Ryvita, stoned wheat 

thins, Melba toast, or grissini’s are great choices. 

Make a $2 Investment to Change Your Life

One of the best things you can do for yourself on any weight loss journey to to invest in a $2 Tape Measure.

(or you may find them at the Dollar Store)

We all want to see the numbers on the scale go down.

But there is more to becoming healthy than pounds lost.

Inches make a huge difference too.

Paying attention to the way your clothes are fitting is a great tool to tell if your weight loss plan is working.

Try taking measurements once a week. 

It is a great feeling to see those inches disappearing ! 

Let the Gorging Commence!

Change is difficult, yet as hard as it is, everyone had the ability to make and keep meaningful changes in their life, regardless of their age.

The beginning is always the hardest. Life rewards those who work hard at it.

Let the Gorging Commence!

Days 1-3

Take the drops and GORGE. Eat as much as you can and focus on fatty, oily, greasy fried foods.

Like peanut butter, French Fries, McDonalds would be a great choice.

You can eat whatever you want but sometimes carbs and sugars will make you gain more that you want.

The idea is to get the HCG into your system while you flood your body with fat.

This way you will not be hungry com day four which is the first day on VLCD (very low calorie diet) 

This has always been the hardest part for me. 

You would think that eating, and eating a LOT would not be hard to do but it is!
