Day 9: 218.4
I have been very dedicated to maintaining my diet approach, and why not? It is really easy, especially for those people who would never be able to tolerate the 500 calorie diet of the “classic” HCG approach. I would never be able to run 5 miles and eat only 500 calories. Incorporating exercise into your weight loss program is important, but timing is critical. The first few days on the low carbohydrate approach may make exercising difficult as you have depleting sugar levels in your blood stream and we begin teaching our body to burn fats for energy, not sugar. I really enjoy running and went for a 7 mile run this weekend, tolerating it amazingly well because of the addition of the HCG to the Low Carbohydrate approach. My morning weight was 218.4, but my post run weight was 214.2. I know it is mostly water weight, but I still enjoy seeing those decreasing numbers on my scales. For those who can walk, that is an excellent way to start burning that fat. If walking isn’t enough, jump into the T-Tapp mode. This exercise, nothing to do with tap dancing, is absolutely incredible, dousing the inflammation that is persecuting your body, and helping you melt the fat away and experience a disappearing waistline. Please try it! You can go onto the T-Tapp website, and the amazing Teresa Tapp has provided all kinds of FREE exercises, that she has devoted years developing. You will find the exercises easy to do, and the results amazing. So tie your low carb /HCG diet with an exercise program that burns the fat away.

ReplyDeleteWhat I do to help stop carb cravings
Well…. in addition to taking a shot of 1/2 dropper of PG, /1/2 dropper of B12+, 1 tsp of lemon juice, in 2 oz of water I do the following T-Tapp sequence:
1. assume T-Tapp stance in preparation for T-Tapp Twist Stretch
2. inhale big (4 counts), then twist during exhale until shoulders are square to side wall
3. inhale big again (4 counts), then during exhale lift ribs/set lats, tuck a little deeper, push your opposite knee out more while you twist back as far as you can….looking at back wall.
4. hold this position for 4 counts, then push/pulse 4x and finish with a strong tuck as you return your upper body back to front wall
5. repeat steps 1-4 to other side
6. then do one set of butterflies
This little sequence helps me just as good, if not better than Hoe Downs. Sometimes I do a one set of Hoe Downs afterwards just to make sure to keep those carb cravings away.
I also like to consume 10 almonds along with 4 oz of water mixed with Emergen-C "Immune Defense" (I like the Ruby Lemon Honey flavor) …. sometimes with 1/2 dropper of PG, sometimes not….there's something about this combination of protein, fat and carbs that zaps cravings away….maybe the 1,000 of vitamin C empowers the combination….tastes good too!
After my weekend, carbs are calling my name. Lifting a glass of Emergen-C to you…Cheers!
