Hi Sara,

The diet is going well. I am not hungry on the 500 calorie diet. Any desire to

eat is out of the habit of snacking or boredom. There have been a few days that

I could only get 360 calories in. My arm muscles did ache a little the day after

those days so I assumed that I wasn't getting enough protein. (I was also quite

active cleaning house so my arms could have been sore from that). So, I make

sure that I eat my daily ration of protein as per the diet.

This 500 day diet can ONLY be done while taking the injections otherwise you

lose the good fat and put yourself at serious risk. At the end of this post is

an excerpt from his manuscript that describes the three different kinds of fat.

Dr. Simeons' diet forces the body to lose the abnormal fat first and only. You

MUST stop when you start losing the good fat.

I have also found that my pancreatitis that I have is resolving itself and that

reduces my discomfort greatly. I used a nutrition website to convert his diet

to foods that I eat (I am gluten free) and in doing so I learned alot about

nutrition. The diet breaks down to 65gm of protein, 45 gms of carbs and 7 gms

of fat per day. When I have chronic pancreatitis or edging toward an acute

attack, I cannot even eat the 7gms of fat - I go on a liquid diet with no fat

for about 3 days and I keep myself from being hospitalized. So this low amount

of fat is common for me anyway.

I am hoping that several rounds of this diet will reset my hypothalamus. I have

no idea if this is possible but that is my primary goal. The weight loss is

wonderful as well as the detox. I have had a few days where something must have

been coming out of the fat. A little charcoal and some caffeine cleanses and

that resolved itself. It has happened a couple of times.

This website might have some advertisements but I have not found a website with

his original manuscript that doesn't sell HCG on the site. I purchased mine from

a different pharmacy in India for $33 for three 5000 IU bottles. This would be

three months worth. I do not have that much weight to lose but my goal is to

cycle this protocol to perhaps reset my hypothalamus.

You can only stay on the injections for 40 days or 34 pounds or when you feel

really hungry (that means you are now burning the good fat so you must stop.)

Then you follow the diet for 3 days after stopping the injections as the HCG is

still pulling out fat. Then for 3 weeks, you increase your caloric intake but

still limit fat and carbs a bit. Then 6 weeks later, you can begin the process

again.

I just want to stress that this must be done correctly as it is a very complex

protocol and should be done under the guidance of a physician. I do not feel

that I am the most sick among us and feel that my body could handle the

injections and the diet (due to my occasional pancreatitis.) While I am not

working with a doctor, I read and studied his original manuscript and spent a

week exploring the nutrition data website and creating an Excel spreadsheet

tracking my intake, my symptoms and my progress.

I have not read Trudeau's book so I do not know what he has to say about

this. To be honest, when I ordered this, I thought I was ordering HGH, Human

Growth Hormone! The difference became apparent as I did some internet research.

" Three Kinds of Fat

In the human body we can distinguish three kinds of fat. The first is the

structural fat which fills the gaps between various organs, a sort of packing

material. Structural fat also performs such important functions as bedding the

kidneys in soft elastic tissue, protecting the coronary arteries and keeping the

skin smooth and taut. It also provides the springy cushion of hard fat under the

bones of the feet, without which we would be unable to walk.

The second type of fat is a normal reserve of fuel upon which the body can

freely draw when the nutritional income from the intestinal tract is

insufficient to meet the demand. Such normal reserves are localized all over the

body. Fat is a substance which packs the highest caloric value into the smallest

space so that normal reserves of fuel for muscular activity and the maintenance

of body temperature can be most economically stored in this form. Both these

types of fat, structural and reserve, are normal, and even if the body stocks

them to capacity this can never be called obesity.

But there is a third type of fat which is entirely abnormal. It is the

accumulation of such fat, and of such fat only, from which the overweight

patient suffers. This abnormal fat is also a potential reserve of fuel, but

unlike the normal reserves it is not available to the body in a nutritional

emergency. It is, so to speak, locked away in a fixed deposit and is not kept in

a current account[2], as are the normal reserves.

When an obese patient tries to reduce by starving himself, he will first lose

his normal fat reserves. When these are exhausted he begins to burn up

structural fat, and only as a last resort will the body yield its abnormal

reserves, though by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that

the diet is abandoned. It is just for this reason that obese patients complain

that when they diet they lose the wrong fat. They feel famished and tired and

their face becomes drawn and haggard, but their belly, hips, thighs and upper

arms show little improvement. The fat they have come to detest stays on and the

fat they need to cover their bones gets less and less. Their skin wrinkles and

they look old and miserable. And that is one of the most frustrating and

depressing experiences a human being can have. " Dr. A. T. W. Simeons

Hi Marti,

Thanks for the info.

My dr. tells me we will use HCG but not now. He says you can't work on repairing

your adrenals, immune system and fight viral and bacterial infections while you

withhold your body the nutrients it needs. So I will need to wait probably other

year or so before I will be strong enough (if ever) to start.

How do you manage that?

Will store your info along with all the other wonderful stuff you have send over

time. Just wanted to say thanks.
