Support: Create Positive Mental Health

When you begin the Protocol, you will spend a lot of time thinking about dieting. In fact, I bet you will think about the Protocol all day long. Some of you may even dream about it.

And that’s ok. When something is new, it’s normal to want to learn about it so you can do your best.

But, one of our goals in the program is to put your focus beyond just the weight loss. In truth, we believe that maintenance is the true goal. And to successfully reach that goal, we have found that focusing on more than dieting and food […]

Recipe: Avocado Peach Salsa

Who would have thunk that avocados and peaches would just naturally fit together to make an incredible taste?

Salsa’s a perfect accompaniment to almost any meal, however this sweet and spicy concoction goes best with fish (salmon) or chicken, and grilled preferred.  Quick, there is only a few days left of summer!

Did you know that salsa is Spanish for sauce, usually based in tomatoes.  This however doesn’t have any tomatoes to be found!  I don’t care.  HA!  It’s delish no matter what you call it.

2 servings

10 minutes prep

Support: Panera’s Hidden Menu

Hidden menus are nothing new.

In the old days, if you were a regular at some diner in your town, you knew you could order things that were not on the regular menu.  We just didn’t call it hidden menus back then.  Actually, I don’t remember what we called it, we just knew.

Nowadays many chain restaurants offer hidden menus to those patrons that are in the know.

I am probably one of the few on earth that never really liked Panera Bread.  Breads are not my weakness, so going to a restaurant that specializes in breads just wasn’t my thing.  However, with […]

hCG Success: Diane

[Biz] is Superwoman to me!

I first discovered Coach Biz and the HTA forums several years ago when I first started using hCG. I lost quite a bit of weight in a short amount of time, then drifted away, stopped checking in on the forums, and the weight quickly came back with a vengeance (and more). I thought I could handle everything myself, but without direction or accountability, I was lost.

When I finally decided enough was enough, I didn’t think of going anywhere other than Coach Biz for guidance, but this time I did it right: I signed up for one […]

Friends, you and me
You brought another friend
And then there were three
We started our group
Our circle of friends
And like that circle
There is no beginning or end.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Back on September 3, 2013 I hosted a Live Interview with a Bod Squad client, Melody.  “Balance” was the call’s focus word and by the response I have received since that time, this was a much needed topic to consider.

I know that “Balance” seems to be difficult to achieve, especially when you try to do it on your own.  I have tried the whole isolation strategy […]

Support: Maintaining

Maintaining your weight is the most important part of the protocol because it’s the part that will be there for the rest of your life.

Dr. Simeons recommends maintaining your weight during every break you take until you reach your goal. In fact, he says to stay within two pounds of our last injection weight (LIW) during breaks. This window serves as your boundary during both phase 3 of the protocol (three weeks during which we refrain from eating sugars and starches) and phase 4 (without specific dietary restrictions).

Regardless of whether you are on a break or have reached your […]
