http://ta-sciences.com/robcarlson/-    Check out this new site about how to manage the aging process by controlling your telomeres. Your what?  Telomeres are like the little plastic caps on the end of a shoe lace. But telomeres are at the end of your DNA and maintain the health and longevity of your DNA , its structure, and its ability to reproduce cells without making mistakes ( ie cancer) . Aging has been associated with the disruption of your telomeres and the loss of integrity of your DNA structures. So when that little plastic end on your shoe laces falls off...what happens. The shoelaces unravel and they no longer work correctly. The same thing happens to your DNA when the teleomeres are disrupted and our DNA unravels, causing aging, disease, and cancer, So take a moment an look at my site on using TA-65 to help control the aging process.

One reason why your diet and exercise plan might not be working is because of an imbalance in hormones, more specifically perimenopause and menopause. The more complete response to why women gain weight is depicted in the diagram below. There are three types of Estrogen in women, Estrone or E1( the Estrogen of menopause), Estradiol or E2, the Estrogen of a healthy women, and Estriol or E3, which is the Estrogen of a young healthy women , and markedly improves memory and is protective against cancer. When a woman is in her 20’s and 30’s, her Estradiol and Estriol levels are often 5-7 times higher than the Estrone levels. Estradiol and Estriol are produced in the ovary, and Estrone is primarily produced in fat tissue. As a woman approaches perimenopause in approximately her mid forties, the Estrone levels and the Estradiol levels become similar, with the Estradiol lowering and the Estrone increasing. And that is because the ovaries are no longer effectively producing Estradiol and Estriol, and instead the brain is signaling the fat tissue and the ovaries to make more Estrogen. Unfortunately the ovaries are becoming tired, and not really listening, so the only place Estrogen can be made is in fat tissue, and that causes an elevation of the Estrogen, Estrone or E1. Well now when menopause starts to rear its ugly head, the Estradiol and Estriol levels are plummeting and the Estrone levels are continuing to increase. Your brain is screaming to make more Estrogen, reflected by spiraling FSH levels, hot flashes, and night sweats. The only feasible way for your body to increase the Estrone levels, is if there is more fat. And that is why the body now becomes dedicated to making more fat, so that it will then be able to make more Estrogen.

I take care of a large number of women who while going through menopause have or are experiencing unpleasant weight gain. Often this weight gain is tied with a commitment towards exercise and careful eating. So why do women struggling with menopause and/or hot flashes and night sweats, experiencing weight gain?The bottom line is that you aren't responsible! It is your body that is dedicating itself to gaining weight and building its fat stores. So why is that?

One reason why your diet and exercise plan might not be working is because of an imbalance in hormones, more specifically perimenopause and menopause. So why do women in menopause gain on the average 20-30 pounds? The simple response is that your body needs estrogen. And when a woman enters menopause, her estrogens plummet to levels lower than when she was nine years old. Her body is now dedicated to make more estrogen, and the primary estrogen of menopause is Estrone. Estrone is made primarily in fat tissue. So the only way to make more Estrone, is to make more fat. It’s very simple. Your body becomes absolutely dedicated to making more estrogen, and therefore dedicated to making more fat. It doesn’t care if you eat properly or exercise. It just demands more estrogen, and the signal to tell the body to make more fat is the same signal that results in hot flashes and night sweats. Balancing your hormones during menopause with Bio-identical hormones has been shown to cause a 15 pound weight loss in one year. So if you are having hot flashes, balancing your hormones will get rid of the night sweats and hot flashes, nurture your sleep, improve your memory and lose weight.

HCG AND THE "SARASOTA DIET" Day 24, An Appetite Reducing Food that Benefits Your Health ..part 2 . ROBERT G CARLSON, MD,FACS

HCG AND THE "SARASOTA DIET" Day 24, An Appetite Reducing Food that Benefits Your Health ..part 2 . ROBERT G CARLSON, MD,FACS



Day 24: 214.6
HCG Dose: 300 units (.3 cc or the "30" mark on the syringe)
Day 15-25 : 300 units


Had a long run yesterday , going about 9.5 miles at 2:00 in the afternoon. Yes it was warm, around 80 degrees, but I did well, and despite consuming no carbohydrates before or during the run, and maintaining my Sarasota Lifestyle approach keeping carbohydrates to 20 grams a day, I never hit the wall. I drank a lot of water but nothing else. This morning I had a chocolate whey milk shake, mixed with ice and topped with whip cream...sounds like dessert! I had a few cups of coffee and for lunch went to brunch with my mother. I ate a ham,cheese, and bacon omelet, and endured the chants and callings from a cinnamon roll. I went running in the later afternoon, when the temperature snuck below 85. My run was shorter, but still about six miles, along the white beaches of siesta key. For dinner I had a steak, and dessert I took on three containers of cherry sugar-free jello smothered in whip cream. And that dessert has absolutely no carbohydrates!

Continuing with my review of the amazing appetite suppressing benefits of the egg...

The study titled: Short-term effect of eggs on satiety in overweight and obese subjects, was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.

This 2005 study from Saint Louis University shows that eating eggs for breakfast can effectively promote more satisfaction from cravings during the day.

Researchers compared two groups of women who for breakfast ate either a low carbohydrate egg meal or a high carbohydrate bagel with cream cheese and yogurt. Degrees of satisfaction and additional food consumption were measured throughout the day.

The results were stunning. The women eating the eggs for breakfast felt more satisfied during the day and spontaneously ate significantly less food at their next meal. The appetite suppression actually continued for another 36 hours with a significant reduction in calorie consumption. The other group, with their high carbohydrate meal, developed a sustained cravings and an increased appetite throughout the day.

Eggs have really gotten a bad rap from all the low fat promoters. Instead, they want you to fill your plate with bread laced with fructose, and margarine made from some chemically derived source. Eggs are pure natural food. Each egg is packed with 6 grams of protein, which not only helps stabilize blood sugar and rising insulin levels, thus reducing one of the causes for sugar cravings, but also produces greater satiety (feelings of fullness) than the typical low-fat (high sugar)breakfast of highly processed carbohydrates.

Egg yolks are one of the most significant sources of lutein and choline. Choline, an important nutrient that converts into acetylcholine and is critically necessary for proper brain function and memory. The Journal of Nutrition has shown that the lutein from eggs is more readily absorbed into the bloodstream than lutein from other sources because of components in the egg's yolk, such as lecithin. Low lutein intake has been implicated in age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss among older Americans.

Choline in eggs has recently been shown to be beneficial in lowering harmful homocysteine levels, a causative risk factor for inflammation and heart disease. Numerous studies have repeatedly proven that the cholesterol in eggs has an insignificant effect on blood cholesterol.

Can you imagine the demand for a drug without side effects that provided natural appetite suppression, stable blood sugar, protein, healthy fats and cholesterol, as well as nutrients that support eye and brain health? This “new” drug must be very expensive. But no. You can find all these benefits in those Styrofoam containers that contain the perfect egg. So next grocery store trip invite some eggs home with you.

An Appetite Reducing Food that Benefits Your Health


Day 23: 215.2
HCG Dose 30o units (.3 or the "30" mark)
Day 15-25: 300 units

Ahh its finally Saturday. I am planning on running this afternoon. Using HCG has allowed me to run further than I have previously when using a low carbohydrate approach. I like to think of it as my low carbohydrate lifestyle....The Sarasota Lifestyle Plan. This morning I had two cups of coffee and boiled 6 hard-boiled eggs to eat over the weekend. I ate two for breakfast and was thinking about the study I read about how well eggs reduce your appetite. I will share that study with you below. My lunch consisted of a few pieces of roast beef and cheddar, and I ate a few hard-boiled eggs and some of the bonne bell gouda cheese. For dinner i put some... a pound of bay scallops into a frying pan with olive oil and lightly browned each side fo 4 minutes. Finally I covered them with shredded Parmesan and Romano cheese and set them in the oven on broil for a minute. I love bay scallops and they filled me up for the rest of the night. My son, Steele, even liked eating them and we were able to quickly eat a pound of the bay scallops.

I believe that one of the mainstay food products of the Low carbohydrate approach is the egg. Yes the egg. It has been vilified by the press and the low fat diet supporters as a food that is guaranteed to increase you cholesterol. But the truth is that there have been multitudes of studies that have shown that egg consumption does not increase your cholesterol. And now a study out of St Louis University has shown that not only will eating eggs reduce your appetite, but that it has so many other health benefits by stabilizing blood sugar and controlling rising insulin levels.

The study titled: Short-term effect of eggs on satiety in overweight and obese subjects, was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.

This 2005 study from Saint Louis University shows that eating eggs for breakfast can effectively promote more satisfaction from cravings during the day. More to follow.....
