    Wow! :lol:

    Thank you so much for the information on the supplements. You made it so easy for me to decide where to get started on my way to better wellness. I understand why I need them all and don't have to worry about whether I can take all of them together or not. Thank You, Thank You!

    I'm getting a list of recommended items to send out today.

    1.You need a kitchen scale to weigh your food. (I will have suggestions in the list)

    2. Herbal teas are supposed to be caffiene free

    3. Yes you can substitute the equivalent of a breadstick. I do not recommend eating wheat anyway.

  • Supplements   15 years 27 weeks ago

    1. If you have to choose one supplement I would suggest a multi-vitamin.

    2nd choice: it depends on your needs:

    Fiber-to help with hunger and constipation

    Probiotics-if you are not eating cultured foods daily

    Enzymes-if you have gas, bloating, need help with digestion, eat a lot of
    cooked food

    They all have different functions.

    2. Use all on a regular basis.

    Hi! does anyone know what approx. 100 grams of meat would be equivalent to in cup measurements? I could go searching on the net but thought you 2 might already know. I'm quessing it's not much...maybe 1/2 C?

    ALso..can one drink an herbal tea if you are highly sensitive to caffeine?

    AND.....can one substitute a rice cracker for the melba toast/breadstick if you are allergic to wheat? (I'm thinking +ly that my PCP will give the go-ahead once she sees more information about HCG)

    HI! THere used to be a recipe for "Crock Pot Italian Beef" where you take a small roast 3#; place it in the crock-pot and pour in 1 bottle of Italian dressing. NOT HAVING A HEALTHY DRESSING...I made my own from:
    1/2C EVOO (extra virgin olive oil as coinned by Racheal Ray)
    1/4C flax seed oil
    1/4C apple cider vinegar(Bragg's)
    2 LG. cloves garlic minced (Love garlic!)
    1 TBS. crushed dried Italian Herb Mix
    Touch of cruched parsley
    SHake well. Take 1/2 of this amt w/1/2C H2O and shake again. Pour this last mix over the roast in a 4qt. crock pot. [Save the first half dressing mix for future salads] Cook on HIGH for 12 hours.
    WHen beef is tender...shred the beef w/ 2 forks. YOu may cook a bit longer if needed.

    Makes a large amount! Rather tasty, though I wouldn't mind even more flavor. THere might be a healthy Italian dressing to buy....COULDN"T BE EASIER....maybe Annie's or Newmans possibly; but you would have to check the label.

    As for Sylvie looking for food containners...in the STates, KMart sells glass oval "bowls" w/ heavy plastic lids by Martha Stuart. You can go to her website and she if she still has a store...or try other websites.

    AAHHH! the ever dependable and supportive LeAnn. YOu brought a smile to my face. Of course it would be you to notice the new thread!! I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE. IN the 21/2 weeks of my membership, you have been the most patient and supportive person getting me thru the site. THANKS SO MUCH!

    I started at 208.5#, actually went up to 211 by the start of my second week as some soy icecream got me into a carb. binge. It was Patrice's family story that set me on track. Yesterday I fought.....ALL DAY....not to have a Tootsie Roll Pop...my only sugar source in my place(other than a lil' fruit) THere are 2 left and I don't want to throw them out! SIGN OF A REAL SUGAR ADDICT! HAppy to say that I won out and did not have it. But I would love to feel more relaxed and not have the craving at all. THink I could use some help nutritionally here..so I'm going to review the brain chemistry lesson. Any suggestions?

    OK.....now I'm down to 206.5; "Water weight" I assume as my body fat has increased 3% points!!!Yikes!!! This happens to me all the time. FOr 10+ years my weight keeps going up yet the body fat % stays the same...47% :cry: EXCEPT when I start a diet...then I lose some pounds and the fat% goes up. I'm assuming that this is "Water weight" but why can't I get to losing fat? DOes anyone else have a body fat scale and have noticed the same event??

    HAs there been a teleclass on using EFT for sugar cravings? I've used EFT before but don't know what to say, etc. and usually end up "tapping for general health." So if not; I would like a telecall on actually going thru the steps.

    I had started following the ALCAT diet a month ago and started this adventure at 213#. SO I'm overall down 6.5#. CAn't do much exercise d/t bad knees so I'm looking for alternative movement ideas. FOr now I'm bowling,batting,and playing tennis on the Wi..whick is at least arm movement. Bought a gym ball and DVD..so I want to try that.

    It's a beautiful day here.....clear blue skies and sunny. HAve a great weekend everyone!

    I'll hold on to that thought!

  • Who has received their HCG?   15 years 27 weeks ago

    Dr. Pearsall,

    I think most are still waiting for it in the mail.

  • NEWBIEDOBEES   15 years 27 weeks ago

    I feel the same way. It would be great to get this going.

    I am excited about my HCG blog too!

  • e cookbook   15 years 27 weeks ago

    The e-cookbook can now be found in the "My Downloads" section of your account.

  • Reading??   15 years 27 weeks ago

    Yeah, customs can be a pain these days.

    I think it is still worth the wait.

  • DETOXIFICATION class one   15 years 27 weeks ago

    1) You could mix it the night before. All you need to do with GI Detox is put a scoop in a cup, add water or juice, mix with a spoon and drink quickly.

    2) Fiber Fill will mix if you put it in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously or you can put it in a blender.

    Hi All! Looks like the threads for support are fairly old, so I wondering if there are any newbies or sucessful Enlita members who would like to chat and give support and wisdom to each other?
    Looks like Dawn and Patrice have tried hard to get a chat going....so here goes another try.
    WONDERING how Sylvie is doing on the program? You joinned just before I did.
    Have tried to reply to Patrice's comment re: the free ebook for members...but it would never accept my submit.....Patrice your family's effort in doing the eating plan together is VERY INSPIRING!! I was struggling w/ settling down into the 2 week Elimination Diet( yes, even that is hard when you are a total carb. addict) but your story had helped me. Kudos to you & your family!!!
    Dawn...you've contributed to the Forums. alot...I caught you on one of the pre-recorded telecalls and we may have similar experiences w/ allergies and chemical sensitivities.

    SO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES HERE as we can learn from/support each other!
    I've lost 1.5#'s in 2 days...I'll need support when the water weight is gone and the weight drop slows!!! Got quite a-ways to go!
    Excitedly awaiting LeAnn's HCG blog and the HCG Teleclasses. jotales

  • HCG and HIV   15 years 27 weeks ago

    The detox isn't really necessary before the HCG protocol. I think you can pay extra to get your HCG overnight. I believe Simeons suggests avoiding supplements and fiber during the 500 cal phase but we'll discuss that with Dr. Cage.

  • HCG and HIV   15 years 27 weeks ago

    THanks Dr. Scott for your reply. I went to the Minnesota Aids Project online to review transmission routes. I plan to attend all of the HCG teleclasses and hopefully give some more info. to my PCP. DIssappointed that I couldn't start w/ LeAnn and the group but I hadn't ordered yet so I wouldn't have been ready. Have read Dr. Simeon's manuscript and want to share that w/ my PCP.
    One more question: I get the detox. weeks before HCG. But knowing that some health practioners like to support the liver and colon(w/ fiber) during weight loss so you don't reabsorb the toxins held in fat; what do you think about that? I have not read K.T.'s book so I don't know if he discusses this or rx. supplements for this while doing HCG. THanks. Looking forward to the classes and LeAnn's blog.

    Re:

    "All hormones extracted are done so by GMP certified pharmacies, which involves quality control testing for purity of the products, contaminants and other disease causing organisms." --Dr. Cage

    "There is no documented case of HIV transmission through urine. If there was a risk of disease transmission with HCG it wouldn’t be sold around the world in such large quantities. There are many drugs and personal care products that use urine extractions as an ingredient and it poses no risk. Our source is HCG from the urine of pregnant women." --Dr. Pearsall

    Hi LeAnn,

    I ordered on the 19th of September, they shipped it on the 25th, and it is has been untraceable ever since. The tracking info doesn't come into play until it has passed customs. According to DrugDelivery, that is 7-18 days. I won't know anything about my order for another 4-6 days, and it could be that I will have waited all this time just to find out that my order did not pass through customs.

    I sure hope you have better luck in getting yours in a timely manner. I think I am going to miss the start with everyone else because my hCG won't be here yet.

    Looking forward to reading about your experience as well as any comments from others as they go through this protocol.

    Have a happy day!

  • Reading??   15 years 27 weeks ago

    Dawn,

    Yes, my blog will be on Enlita, and comments will always be welcome.

    We got our HCG from the same place. Have you logged into your account with them to track the status?

    I called and asked about it, then a day later received an email saying it was in the mail.

    I am not sure how long it is going to take, but I will let everyone know. :)

    When did you order yours?

    Dawn, I wanted to let you know that I will begin my HCG doses soon. I will have a blog up with everything going on.

    LeAnn,

    You are getting your order a lot faster than I am! Did we order from the same place? (Drugdelivery.ca) I am glad you are doing this and BLOGGING about it! How cool is that? Will your blog be on the Enlita website or elsewhere?

    I am looking forward to the fellowship and support from folks doing this protocol and from the Drs. Pearsall and Cage.

    Warm regards,

    Dawn, I found a wonderful free resource. A Yahoo group called HCG Dieters.

    Tina-you rock! THANK YOU for the heads up of this great Yahoo group! I still haven't received my hCG yet, but in the mean time, I have a great place to do some reading and research :).

    It is good to know that you are doing well on the protocol so far! Congratulations on just jumping in and GOING FOR IT!

  • What do we eat between the time of detox and HCG?   15 years 27 weeks ago

    No don't load until we cover that in class one. we'll help you load in a healthy way. Loading requires eating alot of food but it will not nullify your detox efforts.
