Support: Go Back to the Beginning

A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor’s cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. “It’s overfull! No more will go in!” the professor blurted. “You are like this cup,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.” ~ Zen Story

Today is May 1, 2013.

Last week in my newsletter The Biz Buzz, I discussed how I was going to Go […]

Support: 5 Reasons That Might Surprise You On Why You Gain Weight (Despite Doing Everything RIGHT!)

It’s not the weight you lost that matters, it’s the weight you keep off. ~ Biz

It’s about time I started quoting myself.

::giggle::

We are going to talk about maintenance for a bit. As wonderful and as much a miracle as The hCG Protocol is, it’s nothing without maintenance.

For some, eating the way you do on P2 is just penance for being able to eat the way you REALLY want to on P3.

Many feel that after a round of P2, they can go back to the way they were eating before that round and by some miracle, their body is ok with […]

Support: The Importance of Fruits and Veggies on The hCG Protocol

It’s bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children’s health than the pediatrician.   ~ Meryl Streep

Ain’t it the truth?

I am reminded of the quote from Hippocrates:

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

That is true on our weight control journey and in our day-to-day lifetime maintenance, but no less the truth for how we should eat while on The hCG Protocol.

There is a sentence in Pounds and Inches that sometimes people feel gives them carte blanche in regards to what you MUST eat (or rather NOT eat) while on P2 (found More

Support: Going Rogue with The hCG Protocol

Effective leaders help others to understand the necessity of change and to accept a common vision of the desired outcome. ~ John Kotter

When I was first introduced to this miracle that is The hCG Protocol and I started my first round, I was a purist.  I wanted to follow Dr. Simeons’ instructions to a “T”, not deviating from it in the least.

Well … I have to add a caveat … I did my first round under a clinics care so I did do some things a little differently.  HOWEVER, the food was as written in Pounds and Inches.

In […]

Support: What is a Course of Treatment on The hCG Protocol?

Everyone has a ‘risk muscle.’ You keep it in shape by trying new things. If you don’t, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day. ~ Roger Von Oech

Way back when in early 2007 there was a man that decided to try something new.  In essence, it wasn’t really “new”, but it was a new way of looking at an old thing.  He took a risk.  This man was Kevin Trudeau.  Now before you all go way off on a tangent about this guy, let me explain why I am mentioning him.

Kevin Trudeau took a […]

Support: Starches on P2 of The hCG Protocol

When I learn something new – and it happens every day – I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest. ~ Bill Moyers

Wanna learn something new?  I always do!

The subject of starches on Phase 2 of The hCG Protocol came up in some journals this week over at Happily Thinner After*, and that is what sparked this article.

First, let’s unpack a bit what Dr. Simeons says about starches on The hCG Protocol:

Support: How to Load, or How Not to Load – That is the Question

Change is the only constant. ~ Proverb

I hope your sitting down, this is going to be long.

::giggle::

I am going to ask only that you consider a change in view.  Let me explain.

But first, let me offer a caveat to explain my position.  I believe with all my inner being that if you follow The hCG Protocol exactly as written in Pounds and Inches by Dr. Simeons, you are guaranteed success.  I also believe that there have been a few acceptable changes that have proven successful in the six-plus decades since he wrote his manuscript … so consider […]
