HCG AND THE "SARASOTA DIET" DAY 9. Adding exercise to melt the fat ROBERT G CARLSON, MD,FACS

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.

Day 8: 219.4

I continue to tolerate the 20 grams of carbohydrates without too much fatigue. Saw patients in my office and performed a three hour liposuction, then ran to football practice. I continue with a cup of coffee in the morning, but moved from Coffee Mate to half and half or whipping cream, since they are lower in carbohydrates. Continue to enjoy my morning and late afternoon chocolate whey milkshake. Roll-ups for lunch with roast beef and horseradish cheddar cheese. For dinner I ate a steak after football practice as well as a salad with romaine lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes, olives, cheddar cheese and Blue cheese dressing.

I enjoyed meeting my new patient in the morning Friday. He is a very intelligent business man, struggling with weight issues. He felt he was eating well, consuming oatmeal (19 grams carbs) for breakfast and lunch, subway sandwiches (12 inch roasted chicken sandwich-96 carbs) for lunch and dinner while working out of town, but was really feeding his increasing abdominal fat with carbs. He also demonstrated high amount of visceral fat, percent body fat exceeding 36% and a percent muscle of only 29% . This gentleman was not only overweight, but severely sarcopenic…or lacking muscle. He has all the signs and symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, increased blood pressure, increased abdominal fat, increased cholesterol, and glucose intolerance with elevated sugars. The metabolic syndrome dramatically increases your risks of developing heart disease. It is the high sugars in his blood stream and his diet that were driving his whole body inflammation, causing his belly to grow even bigger, and his muscles to waste away. Balancing his hormones, optimizing his thyroid function and using the Sarasota Diet will lead to significant weight loss and restoration of his energy levels and youthfulness. I believe that “we spend the first 50 years of our lives sacrificing our health to make money, and the second 50 years of our lives spending our money regaining our health.” Don’t wait until it’s too late. Start now regaining your health and youthfulness.
