1/2 a grapefruit changes insulin for 2 hours

Eat a grapefruit before your meals.

In a recent California study, doctors discovered that eating half a grapefruit before meals helped patients reduce their insulin levels for 2 hours after eating. The patients who ate the grapefruit before meals lost 1.6kg on average, compared to 0.3kg lost by the patients who were not given the grapefruit, making grapefruit 433% more effective at burning fat compared with dieting alone.

Step 2 HCG diet next 40 days

Well starting back after a three week break from my first 40 days on the HCG protocol diet. I thought it was pretty easy.

I went from 280 to 255 and then after two weeks of vacation where I was eating and drinking alot, I gained a total of 7 lbs back. Considering what I was eating, mash potatoes, pastas, loads of Italian food and drinking wine and beer.....Not bad at all.

Today I took my first shot for the protocol and am eating everything in site. I will say that I don't have the desire to just cram my face full of food. I know that doesn't sound very attractive but my pattern previously is to just grab something on the run and eat.

I guess it was because of all the Apples I ate on the diet, but I am hooked on them. I eat two or three organic apples a day. when we were up in wine country, central coast, I kept stopping buy these little organic Veggie and Fruit stands. Was really good how I was able to buy a couple pounds of apples and pears and really enjoy them.

Also when I was drinking the wines and doing tastings the crackers were a real turn off. Tasteless carbs are now really annoying.
