The HCG diet isn't magic. In order to be successful on the HCG diet you MUST eat the right things. No one needs help with the "stuff-your-face" action of Phase 1. It's Phase 2that's the toughest. This article should answer some of the questions associated with maintaining the HCG VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet).
In general, Phase 2 consists of 500 calories per day made up of 8 oz of protein, 2 fruit servings, 2 vegetable servings and 2 bread sticks or Melba toasts. Normally all the food is eaten during the lunch and dinner periods with breakfast only being coffee or herbal tea.
HCG does a wonderful job of maintaining our blood sugar levels so that we don't experience the hunger we normally would while ingesting so few calories. It is up to us, however, to keep those calories low so the HCG can concentrate on burning those extra pounds of fat out of our bodies.
First off, the cleaner the food the better. If you have the means, always opt for organic foods as opposed to conventional. We want our bodies operating as sleek fat burning machines. The last thing we need is our liver working hard at disposing of chemicals and pesticides that it truly has no idea how it should deal with as opposed to joining in the fat metabolism game. Also, with so few calories ingested, you are going to want as much nutrition as you can squeeze out of every bite.
Organic foods on average will have significantly better nutritional profiles. NO PROCESSED FOODS; There really isn't room for processed foods on this diet. Generally the foods you want to eat don't contain several ingredients, they are the ingredient.
If you buy a bag of broccoli, it should say "Ingredients: Broccoli. The end. If after "Broccoli" you see a string of words you can't pronounce, step away from the bag slowly. Your Grissini bread sticks and Melba toasts will obviously have multiple ingredients, but they should be all natural.
Lean proteins – the emphasis is on LEAN. Do not go and get 80/20 ground beef and think if you throw it on a Foreman grill all the fat melts away like in the commercial. Your best bet is to stay with chicken or fish. Chicken is great because there is very little fat when its boneless/skinless. Fish has an amazing amount of nutrition including selenium, iron, and zinc plus Omega 3's which are great for the heart.
Try to stick with fish like flounder, cod, tilapia, halibut and red snapper. You can also have crab, shrimp and lobster. If you are going to eat beef, try veal or lean cut steaks. Again, your goal is to not introduce more fat into your system than you have to. You'll eat 100 grams or roughly 4oz of protein twice per day. Use plenty of seasonings as many have health benefits and contain vitamins and minerals.
Vegetables – Pick green vegetables like spinach, broccoli, kale, lettuce, chard, celery, cabbage, cucumbers and asparagus. These have very low calories and plenty of nutrition and fiber. You can also eat onions, fennel, tomatoes, beet greens, radishes and the like. Avoid starchy vegetables. That's right, there are vegetables besides potatoes that are starchy like corn, green peas and carrots.
Fruits – think low sugar and plenty of fiber. The best choice for fruit is an apple. You can have a handful of strawberries, half a grapefruit or even an orange. Do not eat fruits like bananas and pineapples as they are higher in sugar. You are allowed 2 servings of fruit per day.
Bread – Either one Melba toast or Grissini bread stick 2 times per day.
Find yourself a good multi-vitamin and drink a lot of water. Try to get through a gallon a day. Ice water actually requires calories for your body to heat it up. That's a fat burning bonus! Staying hydrated is key to weight loss, so make sure keep water available at all times and drink even if your not the least bit thirsty.
Embrace these food choices and you'll enter Phase 3 as a lean, mean, good lookin' machine! Good luck.

Iraq strike takes out 25 rebels
BAGHDAD — A government airstrike on Tuesday killed 25 al-Qaida-linked militants in a besieged province west of Baghdad amid fierce clashes between Iraqi special forces and insurgents battling for control of the key cities of Fallujah and Ramadi, said Iraqi officials.
The al-Qaida gains in the Sunni-dominated province of Anbar — once bloody battlegrounds for U.S. troops — pose the most serious challenge to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Shiite-led government since the departure of American forces in late 2011.
Iraqi forces and fighters from government-allied Sunni tribes have been battling militants to try recapturing the strategic territory It was seized last week by the al-Qaida-linked group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
Iraq military spokesman Gen. Mohammed al-Askari said the air force struck an operations center of the militants on the outskirts of Ramadi, the provincial capital. The assault killed 25 fighters who were holed up inside.
He didn't give more details about how the death toll was confirmed but cited intelligence reports. It was not possible to independently verify the military's claim.
The airstrike occurred when clashes erupted about 12 miles west of Fallujah after the capture of an army officer and four soldiers in the area on Monday, said provincial spokesman Dhari al-Rishawi.
The attacks continued when a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden truck into a police station in the northern city of Kirkuk, killing two people there and wounding 55, some critically, according to Maj. Raid Emad Rasheed.
A roadside bomb struck an army patrol southeast of Baghdad, in the Madain area, killing one soldier and wounding another, a police official said. Another bomb hit a patrol of pro-government Sunni militiamen in Baghdad's southeastern suburb of Jisr Diyala, killing one fighter and wounding four, he added.
A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they are not authorized to talk to the media.
The death toll in 2013 was the highest in Iraq since the worst of the sectarian bloodletting began to subside in 2007, according to United Nations figures. The U.N. said violence killed 8,868 last year.

EEG Band Power values: Units, Amplitudes, and Meaning
The ASIC_EEG_POWER_INT values are indications of relative amplitudes of the individual EEG bands.
Typically, power spectrum band powers would be reported in units such as Volts-squared per Hz (V^2/Hz), but since our values have undergone a number of complicated transforms and rescale operations from the original voltage measurements, there is no longer a simple linear correlation to units of Volts. Hence, we do not try to label them with any conventional unit. You can think of them as ASIC_EEG_POWER units, if you must.
The reason we say they are only meaningful compared to each other and to themselves is primarily due to the fact they have their own units as described above. It would not necessarily be meaningful nor correct to directly compare them to, say, values output by another EEG system. In their currently output form, they are useful as an indication of whether each particular band is increasing or decreasing over time, and how strong each band is relative to the other bands.
Because the EEG wave bands represent a power spectrum, their values will vary exponentially, meaning the lower-frequency bands (such as delta and theta) will be exponentially larger values than the higher-frequency bands (alpha and beta). For analysis purposes, note the comparison warning above. For display purposes, if you would like to remove the exponential gaps between the bands to make them appear closer to each other, you could display the logarithm of each value, instead of the exponential values themselves.

The Biochemical Society is committed to fostering diversity and equal opportunities for entry and progression in the molecular biosciences. To support individuals, groups, charities and address issues relating to diversity in science we offer Diversity in Science Grants.
The government is considering damaging cuts to research funding.
Have your say by attending the Science: As Vital As Ever rally on Monday 26 October at Conway Hall, London.
Alternatively, send a message to George Osborne telling him why science is vital to you.
The Biochemical Society wants to reaffirm its commitment to the promotion of equality and diversity in the life science sector. It is especially concerned about the promotion of careers for women in science, but also believes in full integration and opportunities, irrespective of a person's race, class, sexuality, beliefs or innate ability. The Society believes that science, and indeed all human efforts, benefit from diverse inputs, and that everyone loses by disfavouring specific groups. Hence, the Society dissociates itself from the reported recent comments of Sir Tim Hunt, during his visit to South Korea. The Society recognises and espouses the right to free speech and the expression of diverse points of view, but this right comes with the proviso of responsible use, and the ensuing right to free debate.
New look for Portland Press journals
Portland Press, the wholly-owned trading subsidiary of the Biochemical Society has launched its journals on a new website.
The new websites have been designed to adapt to the latest advances in online publishing and will offer improved services to authors, readers and subscribers, including Biochemical Society members. Authors will enjoy greater visibility for their articles and readers will see an improved experience when searching for work published in the journals.
The journals enjoying a new look are:
Clinical Science
Biochemical Journal
Bioscience Reports
Biochemical Society Transactions
Essays in Biochemistry
Biochemical Society members enjoy free full-text access to Biochemical Journal and Biochemical Society Transactions - members should visit the Members' Area to access
As part of its commitment to advance biochemistry for the benefit of science and society, the Biochemical Society makes available via its publisher Portland Press, two resources, Cell Signalling Biology and Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology entirely free of charge to the community and both of these also have a new look as part of the move.

The History of Our Name
The metaphor of our name refers to the early days of the harbor, when lumber schooners from the Pacific Northwest arrived frequently to offload their cargoes. The timbers they carried came rough cut in what was commonly termed "random lengths and widths," a term that is still used in the lumber trade. Our name, Random Lengths, comes from this heritage of the harbor and building communities.
Since 1979

RLn publishes every other Thursday, reaching 63,000 readers in the seven cities of the Harbor Area; San Pedro, Long Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Wilmington, Carson, Lomita, Harbor City. RLn is proud of the readership and support from the Harbor Area labor unions, who allow us exclusive distribution inside most of their union halls.
"A newspaper is not just for reporting the news as it is, but to make people mad enough to do something about it." -Mark Twain

Sarah Copley
- Filed Under
An investigation that began when school officials allegedly saw a Henry County woman repeatedly hit her 5-year-old son in the face has resulted in her arrest.
Sarah E. Copley, 30, was charged Friday with neglect of a dependent resulting in bodily injury, a Class C felony carrying a standard four-year prison term, and battery resulting in bodily injury to a person under the age of 14, a Class D felony with a standard 18-month sentence.
According to a report by the Henry County sheriff's department, Copley picked her son up at New Castle's Parker Elementary School, 1819 Roosevelt Ave., on Sept. ...

I have disc protrusions at L5 S1 and L4 L5. Since I started my treatment in June 2008, I have been doing back extension exercises to strengthen and stretch back muscles which (among other exercises). In October 2009, I was also diagnosed with Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis where the slippage is backwards and not forwards. Hence, it is technically called retrolisthesis.
In the last 2-3 months, my back pain has improved somewhat but I definitely have more pain now while driving than I did before. My doctor thinks that this is because driving (especially on bad roads) moves the back in a way that affects the unstable vertebra which is slipping. Therefore, he thinks that the main problem with my spine now is the retrolisthesis and not the disc protrusion by itself.
My concern is that the back extension exercises I have been doing may have caused my retrolisthesis, or / and have made it worse. I have read that repeated back extension causes spondylolisthesis, but I am not sure about the following:
when the slippage is backwards and not forwards, is it bending backwards that is to be avoided or bending forwards, or both?
The exercises I do are a) lying on my back with my hands clasped behind me, lifting my torso up and holding it for 10 seconds, for 10 repetitions (for strengthening) and b ) doing the same exercise while propped up on my hands so that I get a stretch in my lower back (for stretching).
I forgot to ask my doctor this question and don't want to go to him again just for this. In another context, some months ago, he had said that as long as I bend mildly, it will not cause problems. I do do these backward bends mildly, not going too far back.
I look forward to reading people's views on this.

World Tarot Card Meanings
Introduction to the World Tarot Card Meanings:
The World is the last card in the Major Arcana. As such, it embodies the completion of a long, sometimes difficult journey. The World represents all elements coming together in order for us to receive the satisfaction and success for which we've been striving.
It goes beyond getting the car we want or getting that promotion at work. The World is an indication of such heady success that we could win the lottery and give it away because we've achieved a level of joy much higher and greater than the lottery. We've achieved enrichment and soul-fulfillment. Absolute contentment.
The figures in the four corners of the card represent the four fixed signs of the zodiac, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius. This is symbolic of all the stars coming into alignment on our behalf and all things coinciding for our ultimate reward.
When we look closely at this rendition of the card, we can see the symbol of the yin yang (note the formation of the purple ribbon around the female figure). This is an ancient symbol for balance and unity. It indicates that we can work our opposites and differences to their advantage and all things can come to work together as one.
Further observation of the card shows us a lemniscate, or an infinity symbol (the red ribbon at the crown of the female figure). This assures us that we are infinately rewarded for the positive efforts we take to improve ourselves and those around us. The two batons in the female's hand are another symbol of balance. They've also been noted as sacred scrolls of knowledge. Within the laurel wreath are stars of light indicating attainment of enlightement or cosmic consciousness.
In a reading this card is highly auspicious. It means that the project you've been working on will receieve the highest acclaim. The counseling you've been undergoing with your lover will lead to a happy conclusion. The rehabilitation you've been going through will have a profound and healthy outcome. The World is a promise of success, and a reminder that the highest value in life is the condition of your own soul.

Courage Has No Color, the True Story of the Triple Nickles:
America's First Black Paratroopers
by Tanya Lee Stone
Middle School, High School Candlewick 148 pp.
1/13 978-0-7636-5117-6 $24.99
e-book ed. 978-0-7636-6405-3 $24.99
"How does one survive and outlast the racism that was our daily fare at that time?" asks artist Ashley Bryan in the foreword to this fine work about the treatment of black soldiers during World War II. With the spectacular success of the Air Force's Tuskegee Airmen, President Roosevelt ordered the formation of an all-black Army paratrooper unit, the 555th Parachute Infantry Company, nicknamed the Triple Nickles. But the Triple Nickles didn't actually fight anywhere, as white soldiers didn't want to fight alongside black soldiers. They weren't allowed into restaurants and movie theaters, their housing was substandard, and they weren't even given access to ammunition. Eventually, they put their training to use as smokejumpers in the forests of the western United States. Though they did help to pave the way for a more integrated military in later wars, their story in World War II was one of frustration. The book's focus is wide: there are excellent sections on segregation and stereotypes in American history, Japanese American internment camps, Japanese balloon bombs, the Battle of the Bulge, and Operation Firefly, brought to life with archival photographs and Stone's always clear prose. Readers may not find an exciting tale of wartime heroics here, but they will find a story of subtle forms of courage and unexpected ways soldiers can serve their country. Backmatter includes a timeline, chapter-by-chapter source notes, a bibliography, and an index.

Arlington, VA – Americans for Prosperity, the nation's largest grassroots advocate for economic freedom, issued a statement following passage in the Senate and House of a budget deal.
AFP President Tim Phillips said, "AFP has said all along that government spending must be set at levels previously agreed to in the Budget Control Act. We've also been clear that any increase in the debt limit must be tied to dollar-for-dollar spending cuts. The deal passed last night accomplishes neither of those. Instead, it allows the government to spend well beyond its means, and increases our borrowing limit without scrutinizing the wasteful spending that is putting us further into debt."
For the past several years, AFP has consistently engaged citizens across the nation on the dangers of overspending. In the past week alone, tens of thousands of those activists have contacted their lawmaker to tell them to rein in government spending.
"Washington politicians are being poor stewards of our tax dollars," continued Phillips. "Our activists are more engaged than ever in this fight, and we intend to hold politicians accountable for their promise to stop overspending."

OC Weekly Intern Lunch! Extremely Student-Friendly Fare at Mitsuwa Market
Categories: Bargains, Local Eats

|Spicy Miso Pork Ramen and Curry Rice + Soba Noodle Combo: Both for Under $20
I have always been guilty of buying a chunk of good cheese and heirloom veggies over a pair of new shoes any day. But these days, I have actually found myself questioning my (phantom) disposable-income-driven chosen career that once seemed so bright.
Which is why this last intern lunch at Mitsuwa Marketplace was particularly comforting.
It was a "must-have-Indian-lunch-buffet" kind of day at the Weekly world headquarters but the cubicle-mate Mi Tran
Thank you, Mimi! It was my first time at Mitsuwa Market (hey, don't hate on an Eastlos guy--have you been to Al and Bea's? Thought so) so I was pretty much swept off my feet just by walking inside. The food court hosts a handful of busy stands, of course, all displaying their delicious specialties through those notorious deceptive, plastic renditions that we all still drool over.
Mimi satiated her ramen fix in the form of some spicy pork ramen ($9) from the popular Santouka stand. I still acted on my curry urges, ended up at the cheapskate-favorite Miyabi-Tei right next door with a zaru soba plus curry rice plus salad combo set (for under $7!).

Talk about a balancing meal.
Stay tuned to see where the next OC Weekly Intern Lunch takes us!
