Shorten Phase 3 &/or Skip P4? 

 

Q: Is it okay to only do Phase 3 for 2 weeks and then go back on to Phase 2?

Not recommended!

 

I do NOT recommend skipping Phase 4.  I have tried that and found that for myself, as well as many of my clients, this can really cause problems.  You need that time psychologically, for one thing, to adjust to the new, lower calorie intake while eating relatively normally, and to prevent feeling deprived if you have multiple rounds to perform in order to reach goal.  It also seems to help to stabilize the body's weight so that future rounds' maintenance is simplified.

There is one exception.  If one is morbidly obese and truly has a serious health requirement for rapid weight reduction, then this may be considered.

 

Tuna Noodle Casserole for P2 RECIPE

Phase 2: Tuna Noodle Casserole

1/2 Jar Rising Moon Garlic/Basil Pasta Sauce (any pasta sauce with NO Oil will do, but this stuff is yummy)
1/2 t Dehydrated Onion

1/2 12 oz Can Wild Caught Tuna, drained (it will be about 3.5 oz drained)

Dash Cayenne
1/8 t Celtic Sea Salt
1/2 Bag Miracle Noodles (The Angel Hair Pasta is really great for this recipe)
Place all ingredients in oven safe bowl.  Cover with oven safe lid (I use a plate, but careful cuz it is tricky to not burn yourself when removing).  Bake 350 F for 1/2 hour. Chow!

Yes, I know, it isn't raw and it isn't vegan.  But I do occasionally get wild and splurge, and this is a nice way to do it.

Tip of the Day: Diet Soda Substitute

  

Yup, sodas are generally a major NO-NO on the Protocol.  Even the ones with artificial sweeteners have been clearly proven to cause cravings, one of the things that got us into obesity to begin with.  I know that sodas do not contain fat, but that High Fructose Corn Syrup sure does facilitate the production of fat in the body using those extra calories, which is how these statistics were evaluated.

 I don't recommend anything with artificial sweeteners (e.g., Splenda, Aspartame, SweetnLow, etc.) on or off the Protocol.  Those toxins are likely factors in causing the hypothalamus to do the crazy things we are trying to re-set it from!  Although there are folks who have used those products and still had success on the Protocol, I feel that we are trying to optimize our results and will accomplish that more readily by avoiding toxins.  
Sooo, if you want to have sodas, I highly recommend that you consider getting

- The Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker

A great way to make your own healthy, Protocol Legal sodas! I use purified water and then one of the delicious flavored stevias you can find in the Stevia page. My favorite is Mango! The Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker from Soda-Club lets you make your favorite carbonated beverages for less than half the price of cans.

Stevia is an excellent sweetener.  You may want to try the unadulterated powdered leaf (which some folks say doesn't have the bitter aftertaste) HERE.

You may also find that the

organic, vegan, Kosher, gluten-free, alcohol-free

Flavorings

at the site below combine well with stevia to come up with even more options, including

• 
  
  S'Mores,
• 
  
  Cheesecake,
• 
  
  Irish Cream,
• 
  
  Cream Soda,
• 
  
  Caramel,
• 
  
  Butter Pecan, and
• 
  
  Bananas Foster!

 

<----click

Then there is also Zevia!  It is the new stevia sweetened soda that is showing up in all the health food groceries, and even in some standard grocery store.  Try the Black Cherry for a real treat (my fave), but avoid the couple containing caffeine as that also can produce cravings!

 

Tip Of The Day: Sheepra's Booster Toddy

 

There is a new way to boost metabolism and enhance results on the Protocol that is very similar to the old Master Cleanse Diet.  Of course one is not allowed to have maple syrup on Phase 2 or 3, so that ingredient is nixed.  However, some folks have been having some success just doing the lemon juice, cayenne and water.  I tried this out myself the last time I did a round to get a bit off that I had gained. My recipe is a little different than the one going around, but this one sure did work for me.  I had the best round ever! 

Here is the recipe:

8 oz Purified Water, warm

1/2 Organic Lemon (Myer's) Fresh Squeezed Juice - from MasterCleanse

      Detoxifies the liver

1/8 dropper full Cayenne Pepper Extract - from MasterCleanse

      Boosts metabolism & regulates BP (Note: you may also simply use Cayenne Powder, but  I suspect the extract is more effective)

2 Capsules Cayenne Pepper

     Just to ensure there was enough to have significant effect

1 dropper full each Cinnamon Stevita & Peppermint Stevita - substituted for MasterCleanse Maple Syrup

      Makes the Toddy drinkable! & Cinnamon helps with cravings & metabolism while Peppermint soothes that cayenne burn so it doesn't hurt your tummy/exit;)

1 t L-Glutamine 

     Helps reduce cravings immensely!

1 t BarleyMax

     Overall health and immunity

I took this concoction twice daily.  This can also be used on Phases 3 & 4 on days when you may be consuming a bit too much carbohydrate/calories, or on a Steak Day to help boost the correction.  I don't know if omitting the Cayenne caps, Glutamine or BarleyMax is just as effective as that is not how I did it, though I have heard that some folks are getting results that way, except they don't use Stevita, they are using artificial sweeteners, which have been proven to increase cravings and I recommend against.

You can find all of the linked products in the above recipe here:

Do I Have to Eat the Whole Thing?

Q: I had a question about phase II. Sometimes I only eat a couple of apples a day and not the rest of the food, will this hurt me, or stop me from losing weight as fast?

Hakuna Matata!

 

No, according to Dr. Simeons in his treatise 'Pounds & Inches': "Those not uncommon patients who feel that even so little food is too much for them, can omit anything they wish." You can find this by reading a few paragraphs down after the actual menu on this page: Menu  

Since your body is enabled by the hCG to draw upon your abnormal/'brown' fat stores in the form of approximately 2000 calories/day, you are still getting many needed nutrients. If you find that you are having difficulty with stalls, I have some tips here to help: Stall

Enter the following code --> 2203212253681 Did you know that Yahushua/Jesus celebrated Chanukkah?!  Here is an excellent discussion from a lady on Yahoo!Answers: Many people mistakenly believe that Hanukkah is a "Jewish Christmas" because of both holidays falling within the same time frame each winter. Actually, both holidays are known for their display of LIGHTS. Hanukkah is also called, "Festival of Lights" or "Feast of Dedication" and I will explain why. Hanukkah begins tonight at sundown and lasts eight nights. This is NOT an empty, legalistic religious ritual as many mistakenly believe. Sure, it could be, just as some Christians religiously take communion and pray but have no relationship with the Father. If you know Him, Hanukkah is a beautiful picture of the MESSIAH! Salvation has come to us through the Jews. Through them, we were given the Word in writing and the Word in flesh. Christians, study your Hebraic roots and you'll see such depth emerge from the scriptures you'll marvel at God's vastness. If it were not for Israel, there would be no church. We are to provoke Israel, Yahweh's wife, to jealousy, and a wonderful way to do that is by keeping days set aside for remembrance. Hanukkah is also called "Feast of Dedication" and the Word shows Jesus/Yeshua participated in this post-biblical feast - it is not listed in the Hebrew scriptures with the holy-days in Leviticus. We can read about this in John 10:22-25. The scripture says: "At that time the Feast of the Hanukkah (Dedication) took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Yeshua was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, tell us plainly." Yeshua answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me. " If Jesus was born during Tabernacles/Sukkot (do a study on that - Bible teachers are divided on that theory but it's a fascinating study anyway) then He must have been CONCEIVED around Hanukkah! What a poignant prophetic picture of the LIGHT OF THE WORLD whose human form began to take shape when His Chosen People were commemorating the rededication of the temple and the Festival of LIGHTS! We as believers in Him are a temple for Him and He dwells in us. After the revolt against the pagan Greeks, the Jews, led by Judah Macabee, rededicated the (second) temple which had been desecrated during a years-long battle that left many Jews dead from Greek persecution. The Maccabees' fight was one against assimilation. They were determined, upon pain of death, to keep the commandments of Yahweh and not worship pagan gods, or even bow to them as was the decree from the ruler at that time, Antiochus IV. The special lampstand used for this holy-day is called a 'hanukkiah' which is a nine-branched candlebra, similar to the menorah described in Exodus and Revelation. The hanukkiah has one candle a bit taller than the others. It is used to light the others. This candle is called a SERVANT candle, or a chumash. Jesus is a SERVANT (Isaiah 53) and brought LIGHT to men. He humbled Himself, as a servant candle bows to light the others, to being us eternal life and restore us to the Father! Remember when Jesus preached about being the Light of the World? Remember when He said the light would be with the people for a little while? This was His prophetic Hanukkah message, so to speak. He spoke about being the Light during the celebration of Hanukkah. The miracle of Hanukkah is one of God providing LIGHT in the DARKNESS of the TEMPLE. Ponder that symbolism awhile! So after the Maccabees had regained control and had spiritually and physically cleaned house and run the Greeks off, they had insufficient oil to light the lamps (menorah). They had some, but only enough for a day. They used what they had, and God multiplied it. He kept the lamps burning for eight days; hence, the eight-day celebration of Hanukkah. If life begins at conception, Jesus lit up the world when He was conceived at this time of year (again, I will readily admit this is not a clear biblical teaching ... just a conclusion many Bible teachers have reached from 'doing the math' so to speak). His light grew brighter as He bent low to serve others, like the chumash/servant candle on the Hanukkiah. The light is still drawing people all these years later. The oil that lights us inside our temples is the Holy Spirit. So what about us? Have we ourselves been assimilated into a 'pagan culture' like believers in times past? Have we let our temples be defiled? Do you need rededication? Let the oil of the Holy Spirit light your lamp and burn supernaturally. Like the Maccabees, you don't have enough oil to do this on your own. You need a miracle to do it!Until next time: Blessed, healthy, prosperous & FREE be, B'Shem Yahushua (in the Name of Jesus), with love & shalom from                                                                 Matt 19:26       Shalom Serene Shick, BSChE, Health Minister, Student ND CLICK Donation Link (even $1 helps me to continue offering email help & answers!
