HCG AND THE "SARASOTA DIET" Day 19, So Are You Overweight Because You're Not Sleeping Enough? ROBERT G CARLSON, MD,FACS

Day 19: 215.6

Continuing to exercise and went to bed early last night...and lost more weight. Gotta Love it! I begin the morning with my coffee and had two hard-boiled eggs. Also took a three hard boiled eggs with me to work and ate those through the course of the day. they really suppressed my appetite. I only ate two Turkey and smoked Gouda roll-ups today and had a steak and salad with lots of Blue Cheese dressing for my dinner. I mixed a vanilla Atkins drink with ice and a handful of blueberries for dessert. I will continue with comments on weight loss and a good nights sleep.

Are You Overweight Because You're Not Sleeping Enough?

Everyone knows the importance of exercise and how it helps us with weight loss, but on some days don't you just wish you could have stayed in bed sleeping and lose weight at the same time?

Well, maybe you can. Because sleep is actually a critical part of your weight loss program!

This is a little-known fact, but did you know that sleep can affect your weight? Rather, it's the lack of sleep that can make you put on unnecessary weight. One may actually lose more weight if only they were to sleep more every day. Rather intriguing thought, but the facts are in and sleep is critical to weight loss....

In a review of several studies at the University of Chicago the impact of sleep on the regulation of metabolism and the secretion of growth hormone during the early phase of sleep was performed. In addition research has also identified the deleterious effects of sleep loss on the endocrine system and glucose modulation. One study examined the effect of sleep debt and sleep recovery on hormone concentrations. Sleep deprivation raised the 24-hour cortisol levels, and dramatically impaired glucose metabolism. A more recent study looked at the effect of 10 vs. 4 hours of sleep on appetite. Individuals who slept 4 hours were always hungry and craved starchy, sweet, and salty foods. These results suggest that sleep deprivation produces a signal supporting a negative energy balance and causing people to eat and thereby predisposing to obesity. Sleep deprivation also affected glucose metabolism and leptin levels and caused increase the appetite for unhealthy foods. Unfortunately this sleep deprivation had a greater impact on obese individuals and older adults. Research has also shown that sleep restriction might have worse effects in women than in men as well. So individuals that may be more severely affected by sleep deprivation are: (1) obese individuals, (2) older adults, and (3) women.

That's really crucial if you're a woman over 40,who is experiencing sleep deprivation from plummeting progesterone levels and not getting enough sleep. This will undoubtedly make you feel hungry constantly and crave for all the unhealthy foods even more as compared to other people. And the more overweight you are, the more you may be affected by the lack of sleep. So a recent study that identified women who do not sleep enough tend to be more overweight than women who get sufficient sleep really shouldn’t be of much surprise to you? So go to bed early tonight and lose more weight!

Day 18: 216.4

Got up early this morning and ran 5 miles. Had my coffee before I left, but waited to get home before I drank my chocolate whey milkshake. I am experiencing no significant sweet craving and feel confident I can complete this 28 day cycle, and you should feel like you can as well. Over the course of the day I ate a bag of almonds and focused on drinking at least 100 ounces of water today. For lunch had a ceasar salad with chicken in it. A big salad and without the croutons there was only about 4 grams of carbohydrates. I had some more bay scallops and a mixture of Romano and Parmesan cheese melted over it. After reading this segment though i think I will try to go to sleep a little earlier and take my progesterone ( will talk about this later in another blog).

So Are You Overweight Because You're Not Sleeping Enough?

I wanted to review different reasons why we may not lose the anticipated weight we want to lose. It may not be our fault. And, reasons once identified, may catapult you into successful weight loss, not only achieving your goals but maintaining the weight loss you have achieved .

Day 16: 217.6

I went for a run after getting home from work and that seemed to pay off when I weighed-in the next morning. Even running a few miles, i feel confident that I am burning fat for my primary energy source and I have proven that I am in ketosis. This morning for breakfast I had my coffee, but also two hard boiled eggs,. Eggs have been know to suppress appetite and give you a full feeling. And all for zero calories. For lunch I munched on roll-ups though the day. I believe I actually ate 5 separate roll-ups, but again using only meats and cheese, there are absolutely zero carbohydrates. For dinner I stopped by Publix and grapped a lemon Pepper chicken, and ate most of that. Dessert was an Atkins vanilla shake blended in the blender with a half dozen blueberries and crushed ice. Topped with a whole bunch of low carb whip cream. This has been very easy, and my appetite for sweets has been totally blocked with the use of HCG. Only 12 days left, and these have always been the tough pounds to get rid of. Last section on the weight loss injections to follow. I wanted to summarize again what is in the injection and will finally talk about all the B-vitamins and Chromium.

Dr. Rob’s Fat Burning Accelerator Formula contains:

Methionine, Inositol, Choline, L-Carnitine, Pyridoxine, Riboflavin, , Thiamine, Niacinamide, B-12, Chromium, Dexpanthenol

Vitamin B6 is added to the vitamin B12 with Lipotropic injections as a coenzyme that stimulates the metabolism. Patients tend to feel more sustained energy levels when combined with B12 and the key amino acids.

Chromium is known to enhance the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the body. It is beneficial in preventing age-related decline in the ability to maintain normal levels of sugar (glucose) in their blood. Absorption of chromium from the intestinal tract is very low, so providing it as an injection bypasses the absorption issues and speeds the chromium to the blood stream to help control glucose levels, correct glucose intolerance and insulin resistance , two indicators that the body is failing to properly control blood-sugar levels, a precursors to type 2 diabetes .

Chromium supplements have been shown to reduce body fat and increase lean (muscle) mass, as well as improve lipid metabolism, reducing LDL’s and triglycerides

Effective and successful weight loss requires multiple approaches, not just reduced diet and exercise. Optimizing your metabolism is an absolute requirement; otherwise your weight loss plan will be destined for failure.

B-Complex vitamins are a mixture of multiple essential B-vitamins that our bodies require on a daily basis.

Active Ingredients:

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HCL) 50mg
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5 phosphate sodium) 7.5mg
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 75mg
Vitamin B5 (D-Pantothenic Acid) 10mg
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL) 2mg

Researches and studies have proved that Vitamin B complex injections are more efficient than tablets, gels or liquids.

Vitamin B-complex injections are most useful for fatigue caused due to nerve damage, diabetes, sciatica, tinnitus, effects of stress, chronic disease, B12 deficiency and a number of other conditions.

Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) injections are critical for protein metabolism, energy production and normal nervous system function. Vitamin B-6 is involved in nearly 60 enzyme systems in the body, necessary for normal growth, red blood cell synthesis and vitamin B-12 absorption. Pyridoxine is an indispensable member of the vitamin B-complex because it supports many vital functions which makes our body perform at its optimal level. Probably the most important among the functions that Pyridoxine performs is its being a coenzyme in the metabolism of our proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Vitamin B₆ plays a major role in making proteins, hormones, and neurotransmitters (chemicals that carry signals between nerve cells).

Pantothenic acid is a B vitamin also known as Vitamin B5. It is a water soluble vitamin that is a necessary requirement of the human body. Pantothenic acid is needed by the body in order to from coenzyme A and is also crucial in metabolizing proteins, carbohydrates and fats inside the body. Coenzyme A is required for generating energy from foods. It causes chemical reactions in the body that makes the energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins that we eat.

Vitamin B-1 or thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin needed to process carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Usually found in wheat, fish, and meat.

Niacinamide is also known to enhance insulin production and protects insulin sensitivity and secretion by helping in cell function and metabolism. Niacinamide or nicotinamide, comes from vitamin B3 or niacin. A vitamin important in carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of testosterone and other hormones, the formation of red blood cells and maintaining the integrity of all cells. Niacinamide helps your body to utilize protein, fats and carbohydrates. It is necessary for a healthy nervous system and digestive system.

Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin metabolism, better digestion, and an in-sync melody of the vitamins and minerals within can help the dieter reach their weight loss goals a bit quicker and safer. Keep in mind that vitamins should be obtained from natural food sources and vitamin supplements are just that - a safety net to help the body meet the daily requirements. Because dieters generally restrict calories, vitamin supplements may help ensure better nutrition and a more efficient metabolism.

A healthy diet incorporates essential vitamins and minerals which can assist the dieter with better weight loss results. Because dieters generally restrict calories, vitamin supplements may help ensure better nutrition and a more efficient metabolism.

A co-enzyme that coverts protein, sugars and fat into energy. Good for repairing tissues and membranes.

Fad dieting, fasting, liquid dieting and yo yo dieting may affect your body's balance and leave the dieter deficient in certain vitamins and minerals. In that event, it will be more difficult to drop pounds and to feel like exercising due to fatigue. If you have been dieting for a long period of time and feel under the weather, or like you are locked in a mental fog, get with your doctor for a professional evaluation.

So how do I do it?

The Fat burning formula injections are given 2-3 times each week, preferably in the morning. Each vial has approximately either contains 10 cc , or 30 cc. All you need to do is draw up 1 cc into a 1 cc TB syringe. Injections are given in the tummy area next to your navel.(subcutaneously, not intramuscular). I often have patients “pinch and inch” , hold it for a count of three, and then give the injection. (no need to draw back in the syringe). This is also shown on the videos about various injections on the website.

Day 15: 218

WEIGHT LOSS SEEMS TO HAVE STABILIZED. MY SCHEDULE DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO RUN AND EXERCISE AS MUCH DURING THE WEEK. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE WEEKEND TO INCREASE MY EXERCISE AND THAT SEEMS TO ACCELERATE THE WEIGHT LOSS. TODAY I INCREASED MY HCG INJECTION FROM 200 UNITS TO 300. MY APPROACH TO THIS IS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A TENDENCY TOWARDS DEVELOPING SOME RESISTANCE TO THE HCG BENEFITS OF CAUSING APPETITE SUPPRESSION IF I LEAVE THE DOSE THE SAME FOR THE ENTIRE TIME. I WILL REDUCE IT TOWARDS THE END, AND THEN REMOVE ALL HCG INJECTIONS FOR TWO WEEKS TO ALLOW RESOLUTION OF ANY TOLERANCE TO THE HCG. SOME TALK ABOUT WAITING A MONTH OR TWO, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT TWO WEEKS IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY BEFORE RESUMING THE PROTOCOL AGAIN.

I WILL CONTINUE DESCRIBING THE CONTENTS OF THE INJECTIONS AND THE BENEFITS FROM THE USE OF THE FAT BURNING ACCELERATOR INJECTIONS.

The addition of Carnitine to the Fat Burning Accelerator Injections has provided a increase in loss of abdominal fat in my patients.

Supplementing your diet with L-carnitine can actually help you become slimmer, faster than almost anything else you do! Here’s why...

Lean muscle tissue burns approximately five times as many calories as fatty tissue. When you exercise you put a demand on your muscles to work — consume stored body energy. Supplementing your diet with L-carnitine can release the stored energy your body needs to build new muscle tissue, boost your energy levels and accelerate natural weight loss.

L-Carnitine is really not an amino acid in the strict sense; however L-Carnitine bears many resemblances to amino acids and is usually grouped under this heading.

L-Carnitine is used by the body to transport long chain fatty acids to the "power sources" in your cells called mitochondria, which are where your calories get "burned" or oxidized for energy. Since this fat burning is such a major source of muscular energy, deficiencies in L-Carnitine are manifested as low energy levels and muscular weakness.

L-carnitine is a health supplement that when used as an injection, with higher amounts absorbed, will boost weight loss and energy. We all need carnitine to metabolize fat and it’s already a natural component of your body. It is already inside you — metabolizing the fat in your cells, to be turned into energy, which will keep you feeling energetic and alert throughout the day.

But when our L-carnitine levels dwindle, we lose that edge , the edge that burns fat and uses it for energy. So supplementing your body with L-carnitine will not only give you more energy — and so you’ll feel much better — and losing those excess pounds and inches, becomes a lot easier.

The fact is many people have a serious deficiency of Carnitine in their bodies. It’s probably one of the major reasons so many of us have trouble metabolizing fat. Unfortunately some people won’t absorb the carnitine taken as a capsule, because it is destroyed in the acid environment of the stomach, and beat up by the enzymes in the liver. So giving that as an injection will provide excellent reliable absorption and blood levels will be higher, thus optimizing your metabolism.

And that is one of the reasons we end up being so overweight. A lot of overweight people don’t necessarily over eat; they just don’t eat the right types of foods at the right time of day. And when they do eat, their body metabolism is running so slow, almost every excess calorie becomes stored fat.

What else is so great about L-carnitine?

Well, when you start supplementing your diet with Carnitine, the fat you have stored up, as excess weight, gets burned (converted) to pure energy. Unlike many other weight loss supplements that include artificial stimulants, Carnitine generates pure natural energy. With an L-carnitine supplement, your body metabolism can start operating at optimum efficiency again.

Ultimately, your ability to control your weight is determined by...

How effectively your body converts food to ENERGY!

You may NOT be overweight because of overeating... A slow and sluggish body metabolism could be your real enemy. For many people, taking an L-carnitine supplement is their secret to achieving lasting weight loss that was impossible before!

You need to jump-start your body's metabolism... And an L-carnitine metabolic weight loss supplement is the perfect way to do this!

Without harmful drugs or using restrictive diets!

L-carnitine is the natural, effective weight loss solution people spent years and thousands of dollars searching for. Now you can lose all the excess weight and keep it off... Permanently! No wonder there’s so much excitement about the benefits of L-carnitine and the potential for permanent weight loss!

What does L-carnitine actually do?

L-carnitine transfers fat into the mitochondria — Mitochondria are the fat-burning chambers within your body's cells — where they are burned for energy. But if you have an L-carnitine deficiency, the fat cannot enter the inner cell to be metabolized. As a result, the un-metabolized fat will become stored fat (excess weight) in places you don’t want it!

Supplementing L-carnitine into your diet helps stimulate your metabolism naturally and also helps:

1. Promote stored fat burning for increased energy.

2. To give you a heightened sense of well-being.

3. As a mild appetite suppressant to control your food intake.

4. As a non-surgically way to reduce unsightly collected fat.

5. Increases your energy level and desire for physical activity.

6. helps your cells to burn fat (making it excellent addition to a weight loss program)

7. increases energy

8. improves heart and liver health all at the same time

9. reduces post-exercise muscle damage, pain and tenderness

L-carnitine is not just a powerful fat-burner and energy booster, but it’s also a natural appetite suppressant that can help regulate blood sugar levels.

If you aren't burning fat effectively, the fat will build up and get stored in your body. This then leads to a variety of health problems caused by fatty build-ups. L-Carnitine supplementation can help prevent fatty build-ups in the heart and liver (especially likely if you are a regular consumer of alcoholic beverages).

And, if you're among those people avoiding exercise because of the pain and exhaustion that often comes afterward -- and especially when you don't workout regularly -- getting enough L-Carnitine may make it easier for you to work exercise into your schedule. I like giving myself an injection before a long run, and about halfway through feel a second burst of energy.

Research has shown that adequate intakes of the L-Carnitine may not only lengthen and optimize workouts but also reduce pain in the days following for all types of athletes, including "weekend warriors".

Several studies have confirmed L-Carnitine's relationship to exercise. Researchers have tested people at all athletic levels, with and without adequate L-Carnitine, for indicators of recovery. They found that people had significantly less post-workout pain and tenderness and less post-exercise muscle damage with L-Carnitine supplementation than with placebo. In one study, 75 percent of participants saw a 20 percent improved ability to exert energy within 25 minutes after exercising.

Putting it all together, L-Carnitine emerges as a great supplement as it.
