HCG AND THE "SARASOTA DIET" DAY 5

weight 220.6

I continued to feel good and today I went for a five mile run. Previously running over 30 marathons. I know what "hitting the wall" was like. On previous attempts at the Atkins diet, I recall experiencing the feeling of "hitting the wall" when i ran more than 5 miles. Exercise is critical to achieving your weight loss goals, and when you restrict your carbohydrate intake, and exercise, your body is forced to burn fat for its energy source. That's really good for losing weight, but also for losing that persistent belly fat. I found that using the HCG, and eating less than 20 grams of carbohydrates, I didn't experience the fatigue when running 6 miles. So time to increase my mileage and enjoy a nice long run.
Today for breakfast I drank 12 ounces of chocolate flavored whey milk shake and for a midday snack repeated that with a large portion of whip cream...no carbs. For lunch. I had three of the roll-ups with turkey and Gouda cheese. For dinner I had my favorite salad with Romaine lettuce, green olives, cheddar cheese and a few slices of cucumber, cover with blue cheese dressing.

OBESITY

In the first two hours after a meal, blood glucose and insulin levels rise higher after a high glycemic load meal than they do after a low-glycemic load meal containing equal calories. However, in response to the excess insulin secretion, blood glucose levels drop lower over the next few hours after a high-glycemic load meal than they do after a low-glycemic load meal. This may explain why 15 out of 16 published studies found that the consumption of low glycemic index foods delayed the return of hunger, decreased subsequent food intake, and increased satiety (feeling full) when compared to high-glycemic index foods. Although long-term randomized controlled trials of low-glycemic load diets in the treatment of obesity are lacking, the results of short-term studies on appetite regulation and weight-loss suggest that low glycemic-load diets may be useful in promoting long-term weight-loss and decreasing the prevalence of obesity.
