admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:25:57 +0000

Protein Shake

P3 and P4 Protein Shake

1 scoop of Protein Powder, I use Jay Robb
Ice
Water
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar or more to taste
1/4 cup Blueberries (substitute any fruit on the list)
Blend the above ingredients together, I use the Magic Bullet.

It is Outrageously delicious!

25 grams protein per serving!

Easy to mix!

Made with Stevia!

Made with rBGH-free whey protein It contains no sugar at all.

Sometimes I don’t feel like making a meal, so I turn to my Whey Protein Isolate powder. The one that I absolutely love is Jay Robb Vanilla. It is recommended on P3 and P4 that we consume about 60-75 grams of protein.

PROTEIN need not be watched carefully, while dairy and higher carbohydrate fruits and vegetables should be watched very carefully. Unless an adequate amount of protein is eaten as soon as the Phase 2 treatment is over, protein deficiency is bound to develop, and this inevitably causes the marked retention of water known as hunger-edema. A protein deficient diet makes the body retain water.

BEWARE of most protein powders on the market! Many of these formulas contain cheaper proteins, as well as tons of SUGAR, and refined carbohydrates in the form of: FRUCTOSE, GLUCOSE, GLUCOSE POLYMERS, MALTODEXTRIN as well as fake sugars chemically developed such as ASPARTAME, SUCRALOSE, ACESULFAME-K, and POLYDEXTROSE just to name a few.

Do you use the George Forman grill?

One of the best tools I have found while on the diet has been the George Foreman grill. The goal of the diet and Pounds and Inches is to reduce the amount of fat intake from your meats. I pulled the grease from a recent skinless chicken breast cooked on the grill and wanted to show you how much fat was collected just by using this handy little device. If you are looking to reduce your fat intake while on the diet try this grill. It makes cooking your meal faster and healthier.

Muscular Weakness

Have you experienced any weakness on or after hCG? I can remember a few instances where I could not believe how weak my legs were when walking up stairs or even holding my arms up for a period of time. Now that I am in P4 and its been over 2 months since I completed my last dose I am happy to say I walked 3 miles last night with no ill side effects or fatigue. Dr. Simeons explains this weakness in Pounds and Inches.

Muscular Fatigue

“Towards the end-of a full course when a good deal of fat has been rapidly lost, some patients complain that lifting a weight or climbing stairs requires a greater muscular effort than before. They feel neither breathlessness nor exhaustion but simply that their muscles have to work harder. This phenomenon, which disappears soon after the end of the treatment, is caused by the removal of abnormal fat deposited between, in and around the muscles. The removal of this fat makes the muscles too long, and so in order to achieve a certain skeletal movement – say the bending of an arm – the muscles have to perform greater con traction than before. Within a short while the muscle adjusts itself perfectly to the new situation, but under HCG the loss of fat is so rapid that this adjustment cannot keep up with it. Patients often have to be reassured that this does not mean that they are “getting weak”. This phenomenon does not occur in patients who regularly take vigorous exercise and continue to do so during treatment.”
