CG injections or drops with the h. CG diet protocol to lose between 2. You can see the current episodes available here.——————————–I OFTEN get asked if the h. CG diet protocol is just for men or women with 5. If this approach can be used for those with only 1. You will see today, that while Debbie has in the past dealt with a heavier load of weight to lose, in recent years it’s just been that pesky 1. As you will see, the h. CG protocol CERTAINLY has done a great job of getting her where she wants. So basically, it works for us all whether you have 1. More to follow. One thing is for sure about Debbie, she isn’t dry! She feels like a friend when you watch her. Show Note Links: Bodyfat Testing: DEXA or DXA scan for body composition – scans your body, fully clothed (different than for bone density DEXA- you MUST specify- requires different calibration of machine to be accurate – hear my personal story on that lol in the interview when it’s not calibrated right #almostfainted #gladitwaswrong)Hydrostatic Bodyfat Test – done in water. Bodpod – uses air displacement. You can google “your area” + “dexa scan” or “hydrostatic body fat test” or “bodpod” to find a location in your area that does these sorts of tests.

A Note About “Bodyfat Percent” on Home Scales. I would not trust these. They are frequently inaccurate. I’d like to give you a real example of this below, at the end of Debbie’s story. Debbie’s Experience with: the P3to. Life Program During Phase 3 of the h. CG Protocol. QUICK NOTE: If you’re like uh. Women are doing swimmingly well on it! Honestly even better than I could have hoped for. It’s not a list of foods or tips for doing well. It’s fully structured and you can just follow it to the letter if you like or tweak it to fit your life, but the point is! No more guessing or wondering or having a million decisions to make about what you should make or eat or add when. Let’s hear Debbie’s experience. If you were to explain to an h. CGer in just a few sentences why the P3tolife program for Phase 3 of the h. CG Diet Protocol has been valuable to you, what would you tell them? The P3tolife program offers structure rather than the ambiguous “no sugar/no starch” guideline. I also like that it provides guidance for the amount of calories and the macronutrient breakdown week by week so that, when followed, you gradually ease into increasing calories and fat. I really like the flexibility of the various meal plan options. I also appreciated all of the coaching videos with helpful information. How did you end up following the program – did you do the original plan, the simplified, or build your own meal plan or just tweaks to one of these? Can you give a few details of how you utilized the program and tailored it to yourself and your circumstances? At first I thought that I would use the build your own meal program, but I wound up really sticking pretty close to the original plan! I did adjust the days on which I would prepare certain meals but would stay with the items for the week. The one exception I made for the duration of the program was to have a Rocket Fuel Latte (Leanne Vogel of Healthful Pursuit recipe) every morning for breakfast in lieu of what was on the meal plan. The calories and macros were similar so I was comfortable with that change. I actually really, really loved doing Phase 3 that way!! Can you share your results – how your weight has been, while following the P3 program? Sure! This is the most successful P3 I have ever had, so I am happy to share! My LIW (3/3. 1/1. I was 1. 30. 6 and 2. P3 (4/2. 3/1. 7) I am 1. So I lost weight and body fat!! As an example of the difference with this P3 as opposed to my last round in 2. That was quite a roller coaster!! With this current round, and following the P3to. Life program, my weight fluctuation was 1. How did you feel about the portion sizes of the P3 meals? I thought the portion sizes were very generous!! In fact, sometimes I felt like it was too much food! Lol! Can you share a little about your personal life- ie work full time/part time, kids or hubby or school? Would love to hear how you made the logistics work of cooking the program with whatever time constraints you deal with. I am a consultant, working through my own company. At home is just my hubby and myself. I was able to be very flexible with my schedule due to running my own business so I did not feel any time constraints, which was nice. The only challenging thing was that I would eat lunch late, therefore wanted to eat dinner later than my husband did. That was the only conflict. I did have to navigate one business trip that involved a couple of meals that I could not prepare myself. For the breakfast I just had coffee (per usual on HCG) and for lunch I just chose what would align with the protocol. It worked out okay thankfully! Have you struggled on past p. Oh my goodness! My failure in prior P3’s were the reason why I had to do 4 rounds of HCG to lose the same 2. Ugh! The problem was twofold. I fell back into my prior habit of eating clean Sunday through Thursday and then being way too loose with my eating over the weekend. Slowly but surely the weight crept back on, every single time. Let’s take a quick commercial break to be like,Wow, look at those guns Debbie!! She obviously works out. Having muscle that SHOWS is a combination of BOTH working out with weights to build the muscle in the first place, and losing enough fat for that muscle to show. And honestly, when someone is responsible enough to work hard to have muscles like that, she’s a person to listen to! Which you can do of course ? Have you learned anything new from the program? Yes, for sure!! Weight stability!! I really never experience a stable Phase 3 and absolutely zero steak (correction) days! It was so awesome! On top of the great feeling of stability, I also felt completely satisfied the whole time! Satiety was not an issue at all! One of the things I really appreciate also was that when I felt like I wanted a treat at the end of the night, the smoothie was right there at my fingertips to take the munchies edge off, while still being on plan! I also enjoyed how easy and delicious the recipes were! I actually cooked dinners! My hubby easily augmented his dinners with additional carbs! Now that’s saying a lot!! If I had to pick two, I would probably say the Lean and Hearty Turkey Chili from week one, the Chili Lime Shrimp with Miracle Noodles for week two, and the Fish Taco Bowl from week three. Any other closing thoughts that you want to share about your experience with the program, or that might help others considering whether or not to give it a try? I would say that anyone who struggles with the ambiguity of the “no sugar no starch” guideline would definitely benefit from the structure and information that this program offers. I also think that the way the calories and macros are structured to gradually increase is critical. It can be such a mystery as to how much to eat and what macro combo that it is nice to have it already established for you. You find yourself with a definitive plan and feeling completely satiated. It’s awesome. I would also advice to abstain from alcohol during the P3 of the h. CG protocol. Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroid disease, but that may now be reduced to only hypothyroidism because I take a very low dose of thyroid medication. Height: 5’4. I went down to 1. P3! Note: I count my weight lost from my preload weight because I feel like the load weight is inflamed due to loading and not representative of my reality. How long have you currently been maintaining (or where are you currently at in your h. CG journey)? I have never successfully maintained until this last round. I finally did it!!! I have now successfully finished my P3 with the P3tolife program and will continue to maintain my loss using more of a Keto lifestyle going forward. Tell us how you came to be overweight and your struggles with that? I was a thin child, didn’t think much about weight or my body. By the time I was in HS I started noticing other girls thinking/talking about their bodies and I too started thinking perhaps mine was not okay. I was 1. 10 lbs and thought that I needed to go on a diet! By the time I graduated from HS I had started to eat more junk food and also overeat. I would seek opportunities where I could get my hands on junk food that we didn’t normally have in the house. That caused me to gain weight, resulting in weighing 1. I graduated HS. I was pear shaped, carrying my weight in my hips, butt and thighs. Both family members and friends definitely teased me. I remember that some of my friends gave me a t- shirt that said, “thunder thighs”. I laughed along, but it did hurt. When I would be proud of losing 5 lbs, my Dad would mock me by saying “turn around. I succeeded. By September I was down to 1. But it still wasn’t enough, as I kept feeling like I still needed to lose weight and was very afraid of gaining back what I had already lost. Soon thereafter I met and started dating a man who would wind up being my fianc. He would tell me that if I ever got fat, he’d have a hard time loving me. It was not with malintention. I was thin, but I was incredibly unhealthy both physically and emotionally. Eventually I wound up breaking up with my fianc. I really struggled with accepting my body and knowing how to eat in moderation. It was always an extreme. Eventually my weight climbed to 1. I remained for the majority of the decade of my 2. I was miserable. I felt uncomfortable, insecure, and unattractive. I definitely suffered under comments from friends, boyfriends, and family.
