My First Fat Release Protocol Started on May 21, 2011 at 272.2 Pounds. Ending this first 40 day program, on June 30, 2011, my weight was 237 My total fat loss was 35.2 pounds!
Shrinking Chef Blog of Saturday Aug 13
Back on my HCG fat releasing journey…for the second part to release the balance of the 60 pound of fat that I promised myself at the beginning.
The five + weeks of ‘coasting, on the maintenance phase of round one went fairly well. I ate and enjoyed pretty much as I pleased, with some (not lots of) restraint. Pasta is generally a ‘no no’ on this phase however, it is something I enjoy making and eating and I did at least one pasta oink out, each week, as well as my share of Aussie Shiraz!
My kids, and a well meaning friend on the support team, cluck clucked but, hey…I am human, love good food and have imperfect discipline when it comes to same. Bottom line is I regained eight lbs of the 35 lost. No idea what portion of this was water retention or fat or? No matter ‘round two’ began with a weigh in of 245.2. It is what it is.
Saturday morning of day three…Weight in was 238.6!
Guess the gain was water retention from too much sodium and daily ‘rations’ of wine with dinner. No matter, onward and upward! (Perhaps that should be ‘downward!’)
Goal is to reach 212 on this shorter round ending on Sept 8th. Another 26.6 lbs to go in 27 days. Difficult? Not really, piece of cake. (Oops, maybe that should be piece of broccoli!)
Any special rewards waiting 4 me? A 90 minute massage and a dinner featuring a fresh, whole, boned duck… happily swimming & simmering… slow cooking in a pool of really good Gewurtztramier and duck stock. The duck insisted on good Gewurtz so who am I to argue? No I won’t be eating the ‘whole’ duck. Of course, I will be sharing. I love this program!
Thank you Dr. Keith, Jan, Lisa and Andrew for this wonderful program and all of your great support! I will toast you all I reach the 212 lb mark which is mission accomplished…60 pounds of fat loss in 81 days…far ahead of the original target timing of 105 days…even with some cheats (well more than a few) along the way!
Chef David 30 days after
I have known David Chapman since 2004 as a bright, inquisitive and generally fun person. As a friend, to know David is to love and admire the guy.
However, I have made no secret of my frustration over his often cavalier, smart-ass attitude towards his over indulgences that had been slowly destroying his health. As a doctor he has, at times, tried my patience!
Now, to see him committed to a solid path, with a goal of releasing 60 lbs of fat in 105 days, is a happy thing indeed. If a character such as my friend, Chef David, can take the actions required to re-take charge of his health and his life, anyone can!
