Re: Question about weight and low T

[Guest guest]

They use them in there posting but it's from a book by Trudeau's called

phases. He also named the phases which they use for reference.

But the site follows Dr. Simeon's protocol so P1 is a loading stage you start

the HCG shot and eat like this.

==================================================

P1)You start the HCG shots and for 3 days you eat like this.

What loading is supposed to do is fill up your normal fat cells full of fat, so

that when you start the 500 calorie diet, the fat you start losing is the

abnormal, excess fat. It will also help to keep you from being hungry the first

week.

So loading is more effective if you try to eat more fat, and less sugar or

carbs. So concentrate on things like butter, oils, fried foods, cheese, fatty

meats, etc.

I loaded with cheesecake without the crust, bacon and eggs, chocolate,

cheeseburgers without the buns, pork roast, veggies with butter.

P2) Is the 500 cal. diet you eat for the next 40 days. You even eat this for 3

days after you stop the HCG shots.

P3) You stop the 500 cal. diet. You aim to get 2000 plus calories if we can.

This is harder than one might think when you aren't eating any processed foods

or starches or sugars

P4)Is your maintenance this is when you can add sugars and starches back in and

again, see how you do. Steak days are for life so if you spike in P4, do a steak

day.

In P4 people usually discover they don't have to eat as many calories as they

were in P3, but they aren't restricting.

And, in P3, people absolutely do gain weight back if they they eat too few

calories or not enough protein.

This is because on hcg, your body thinks it is consuming at least 2000 calories

a day, the 500 you are eating plus the 1500+ your body is dumping. So once you

get to P3 if you were consuming less than that 2000 it would suddenly think you

aren't feeding it and start holding onto it.

If you have more weight to lose you don't go into P4 you go back on the HCG and

500 cals this is cycled not sure yet how this is done and how long the time in

P3 is before starting P2 again.

At this site if you click on HCG Protocal you can read all about it. And the

Dr.'s paper in the Download PDF.
