My Stories: Video Ramblings and more from July 2017

This is a monthly series of my IG stories put together to show you both what I’m up to on a more personal level, as well as answers to things related to the hCG protocol and maintaining weight loss. Please note that the writing below may seem a little funky at times because it’s just taken from my verbal IG stories but I know ya’ll might not want to watch but you still might like to know the basics of what’s goin’ on.

“Our natural impulse is to think wishfully that is favor the optimal, discount the negative, rather than realistically”

-Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith

When I made a switch over to realistic thinking instead of wishful thinking- that is when I start to maintain my weight loss longer.

“Posing big picture questions to ourselves crowd out the distracting voices and shuffles the issues and daily nuisances that upset us to the back of the line where they belong.”

What I am trying to do lately is basically ask myself bigger questions and that makes me stop and do something different or make a different decision that I would have made.

Q&A:

Why do you fast? How that does help on hCG? Can you give info on fasting day?

First, I want to clarify that I am no longer with hCG. I finished my hCG over 4 1/2 years ago. So I utilized this intermittent fasting today as part of my maintenance.

I use intermittent fasting because it’s a very effective way of leaning out. Even maybe if I am eating well, if I’m in the mood to lose a little fat, you know, lean out – I may choose to do that on occasion. So for me, I only use intermittent fasting occasionally.

and by that I mean once or twice a month, on occasion I do it once a week. So it is very infrequent.

For me it’s an 18-24 hour fast. What this means is that I will not eat all day until dinner.

for fasting to really work and be effective, you need to make sure that you both drink enough water & get enough sleep. If you don’t do that, I found out that it’s gonna backfire.

If you want more info on fasting days, I have about 15 videos in my p3tolife program – a structured program for phase 3 of hCG.

As far as some do wonder about fasting while on hCG, to be honest, I did do it a couple of days in the past. I don’t think I would recommend that. I think you may lose some excess muscles if you fast on hCG. I could be wrong about that. Just to be honest, don’t know. Seems like a little more extreme. If you want to do it, proceed with caution.
