				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/HCG-Shake-Nutrition.png"><img src="http://www.hcgshake.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/HCG-Shake-Nutrition.png" alt="HCG Shake Nutritional Facts" title="HCG-Shake-Nutrition" width="250" height="480" class="alignright size-full wp-image-287" /></a>The most asked question we get in our email is what&#8217;s in your <a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/the-hcg-shake/" title="The HCG Shake">HCG Shake</a>? To save us lots of time, I&#8217;ve decided to post our HCG Shake&#8217;s Nutritional Fact right here in the blog.  <span id="more-286"></span>As you can see, we are very heavy on vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber, but still very light on calories at only 122.  </p>
<p>Our ingredient list is:  Proprietary Protein Blend (Whey Protein Concentrate, Yellow Pea Protein Concentrate) Hi-Oleic Sunflower Oil, Cocoa Powder, Guar Gum, Calcium Citrate, Creafibe SC 40 (vegetable dietary fiber), Potassium Citrate, Soy Fiber, Oat Fiber, Hoodia, Sucralose, Xylitol, and a Trace Mineral Complex.</p>
<p>Why is the <a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/the-hcg-shake/" title="The HCG Shake">HCG Shake</a> so effective? Our protein blend and the various types of fibers in the shake keep the body feeling satisfied much longer than the cheaper ingredients others use. The fiber also helps the body digest and use the nutrients in the shake over a longer period of time again keeping the body satisfied longer. The high quality Hoodia in the shake also helps suppress your body&#8217;s hunger reflexes keeping you satisfied longer.</p>
<p>The end result is a rich creamy chocolate shake that keeps you feeling satisfied longer and gives your body the nutrients it needs to keep you going.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Hey, let me tell you my story.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Being Fat sucks.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">People treat you different, they joke about you behind your back and they seem to think that you have no will power. We know that’s not the case, fat people are some of the most determined people I know. After all, whatever we do, we get it done with the handicap of being fat. Anyway, I have tried to lose weight my entire life, but until I had the right tools, it just didn’t work. What finally worked was using the <a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/the-hcg-shake/">HCG Shake</a> along with <a title="Vital Fiber" href="http://www.hcgshake.com/all-our-products/vital-fiber/">Vital Fiber</a> . Of course I had to be careful what went into my mouth and a moderate exercise program helped to speed things up. What I ‘m saying is that using the right tools in my case, the <a title="The HCG Shake" href="http://www.hcgshake.com/the-hcg-shake/">HCG Shake</a> along with <a title="Vital Fiber" href="http://www.hcgshake.com/all-our-products/vital-fiber/">Vital Fiber</a> jump started and helped me to maintain my consistent weight loss for more than a year. You need these tools, they really help. Look at me now. I am healthier, happier and in control of the way I look and feel.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I like to tell my friends, “Have you seen my new body, because it is AWESOME!”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been asked this question a few times now, so having used the HCG shake for over a year, I decided to pass on my experience.  I use the shake not just as part of an HCG diet regimen, but also to help maintain a healthy weight after the HCG diet.</p>
<p>First, I love the shake as cold<span id="more-47"></span> as I can make it.  Once, on a whim, I decided to try the shake with hot water &#8211; I was thinking hot chocolate yummy!  But that didn&#8217;t work out very well.  For some reason the flavor that I love cold just didn&#8217;t work for me hot.  Because of this, I always use ice whenever I make the shake.</p>
<p>My preferred method of making the HCG Shake is to have my 5th grade daughter do it for me every morning.  Hey its so easy even a 5th grader can do it!  You can call me lazy, but she loves to make things in the kitchen, and she seem to enjoy making a shake for me and my wife every morning.  I&#8217;ll try to video her making the shake and post it here so you can see it.  She puts a couple of cubes of ice into the blender with just enough cold water to fill the blender up to the 12 ounce mark.  Then she blends the ice and water together.  Once the ice and water are being blended together, she taps in two scoops of the <a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/shop-buy-hcg-shake/">HCG Shake</a> powder and about 30 seconds later I have an ice cold shake ready to get me through another morning.</p>
<p>I also often use the shake for lunch.  I really believe that planning ahead and making your diet convenient are some of the key components of making any diet work.  Sadly, I haven&#8217;t found a way take my daughter and a blender to work with me every day <img src='http://www.hcgshake.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> .  So I had to come up with a solution that would work well for me and be convenient as well.  I tried taking a bottle of the HCG Shake powder to work and keeping it in my desk.  Then I&#8217;d just stirring the shake powder into a glass of water with ice.  The result was ok, but not even close to as good as what my daughter was making for me every morning.  The powder doesn&#8217;t dissolve as well, and tended to clump around the ice.  I didn&#8217;t want to get rid of the ice because I love the HCG Shake even better when it is ice cold.   I went to the big box retailer down the road from my office, and found a solutions.   Oddly enough, the solution was both simple and cheap.  Here is a picture of my solution:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ziploc.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-48" title="ziploc" src="http://www.hcgshake.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ziploc-300x300.jpg" alt="Ziploc Twist n' Loc Containers" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I got a three pack of Ziploc(r) Twist n&#8217; Loc(r) just like this for less than $4.  Now when I&#8217;m planning my meals for the next day, I have a great way to take the HCG Shake on the road with me.  before I used these containers, I measured out 12 ounces of water into the container and used a permanent marker to make a mark on the side.  It already has a mark for 1 cup, but I like more than one cup of water in my shake.  I honestly don&#8217;t use the mark anymore because I&#8217;m familiar enough with the container to know when it has the right amount of water in it.  When I&#8217;m planning my meals, and I know I need a shake at work or anywhere on the go, I just put two scoops of powder into one of these cups, screw the lid on, and I&#8217;m ready to go.  At work (or I&#8217;ve even just walked into a service station while traveling) I get a few pieces of ice out of the ice machine, put them in the container and then fill it with water until the mark is covered.  Then I put the lid back on and shake the container (I can even shake it upside down!) to mix the powder into the water.  Shaking the container (especially with ice in it), works very well.  I get a smooth, evenly mixed, ice-cold shake.  When I&#8217;m done, I just rinse the container with water and take it home to run through the dishwasher.  Its perfect for taking a serving of the HCG Shake on the go.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This method of taking the shake on the go works so well for me, that I also keep one of these containers in my car all the time just in case I end up working late or having some other type of emergency.  For me, that is when my diets breakdown.  I don&#8217;t have an emergency plan and it is easy to justify running through that fast-food drive through &#8211; its an emergency after all &#8211; instead of sticking to my plan.  Now when some emergency hits, I have a backup shake to get me through it until I can get back home and prepare the right kind of food.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve included a link to <a href="http://www.hcgshake.com/Pounds-and-Inches.pdf">Dr. Simeon’s Protocol</a>. A very brilliant piece, but as stated before it is somewhat dated. If you look carefully at the diet, it is based on the 4 food groups—as if you must have a piece of dry tasteless bread from the grain group before the program will work. The 4 food groups are long gone. Even though the weight loss diet is still sound, based on the recommendation for protein and vegetables, it does make it a hard program to follow when there is no breakfast other than liquid.<span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve found that when someone has a 122 calorie Ultimate Weight Loss Shake (specially formulated for the HCG diet) they are much more energized and able to function normally. Most of the time when people skip the breakfast as recommended, they drag through the day (this is personal experience talking here!) </p>
<p>To hit his 500 calories Kurt D. will on some days take a shake in the morning, eat a Simeon’s lunch and then do a shake for dinner. He says he feels good and the weight loss is still consistent. We&#8217;ve all seen many people drop out of HCG because they are unable to function on the old-fashioned diet with very limited meal options.</p>
<p>Get with the program! HCG is a great diet tool but Simeon’s Protocol isn’t scripture. Try adding the Ultimate Weight Loss Shake to your day and see how much easier HCG can be.</p>

<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Kurt D.</p>
<p>Welcome to NutraSmart&#8217;s HCG blog. This site is designed to help make anyone who is interested in the HCG diet protocol to have a more enjoyable and successful experience. I have been on the protocol twice with great success; once following the protocol exactly, and the other throwing in a couple of variables that took into consideration that Simeon’s protocol is over 50 years old and could benefit from some modern food sources.<span id="more-1"></span></p>
<p>Above are two pictures of me, one at 285 lbs. (I would later hit 320) and one at my current weight of 200. After losing 70 lbs. on a very good program called Vital Behaviors Diet and Health I tried two sessions of HCG, losing an additional 50 lbs.</p>
<p>I will admit that the lifestyle changes I made on the Vital Behaviors program really helped with the HCG. I can’t imagine going in cold. On my second round of HCG I tried a variation with the HCG Shake that I asked my friend to develop especially around the HCG protocol (he is in the health shake business). What he came up with is phenomenal! Not only is it a really tasty chocolate shake, (It is so good, I sip it) it only has 2 fats, 1 net carb, 7 grams of fiber, 22 grams of protein and 50% of 23 vitamins and minerals. And for you women, 165% of Folic Acid. Adding this to my diet did not slow down my weight loss at all; in fact I think it helped. It made the program so much easier. Plus I felt that I was getting all of my vitamins and fiber this way.</p>
<p>I am now beginning another round of HCG. I am going to make the HCG Shake an even bigger part of my regimen this time and let you know how it goes. Why don’t you pick up one or two shakes and join me.</p>
<p>Kurt D.</p>
