Frequently Asked Questions About Loading Days | hCG Diet | hCG ...

The HGC Diet has three phases:?? the Loading Phase, Maintenance Phase and Stabilization Phase.?? The first phase, the Loading Phase, is also referred as the ?Loading Days? because it is a 2-3 day period at the start of the HCG Diet when the goal is to eat 1500-2000 calories of high fat foods. While it may seem odd to load up on fat when you are trying to diet and lose weight, loading days are important to the success of the HCG Diet as they provide fat reserves that will prepare the body for the low calorie diet days.? Here are answers to frequently asked questions about Loading Days.

What foods should I avoid during the Loading Days?

During Loading Days you should eat fatty foods such as bacon, pork, lamb and cheese.? Avoid low fat, low calorie foods such as diet drinks, fruits and vegetables.? The key is to eat as much fatty food as you can.?

Should I start taking the HCG drops or injections during the Loading Days?

Yes.? You should start taking the HCG the first Loading Day.? The point of eating the fatty food is to use the HCG along with it to signal to your body that it has fat to burn.

During the Loading Days, should I really eat as much fatty foods as I want?

Absolutely.? This is the only way for the HCG Diet to work as intended.? Gorging on fatty foods during the Loading Days will jump start the diet.? Then, starting on the third day of the diet you will start to quickly burn off fat.

What is the difference between loading for 2 and 3 days?
Whether your Load Phase is 2 or 3 days depends on the length of the diet you selected? 21 days or 40 days.? If you elect a 21 day diet, then you should load for 2 days. If you chose to do the 40 day diet, then you will need to load for 3 days.

Food Photography & Food Styling workshop w/ Sangria Recipe

It?s funny how this recipe came to mind. We were in teaching our food photography/food styling workshop this weekend and the students were tackling the subject of photographing drinks. Drinks can often be challenging, especially when it comes to reflections, styling drinks and how to add interest to simple liquids.

Diane was quickly setting up to style a drink scene for the students to practice photographing and someone yelled out ?Sangria?. Yes! the thought of having a sangria sounded so perfect at the time too. But the visual thoughts of styling chunks of fresh fruit in a fizzy drink was the perfect subject for the scene.

In about 4 minutes, a sangria set was made and propped ready for the waiting cameras and photographers.

After going home and looking at the image again, it made us thirsty just looking at the photo, so we decided to re-create the exact same looking drink with a recipe to share with you all! Enjoy!

This workshop at our studio this weekend was so much fun and the amazing gathering of students from around the country blew us away. We had students come from Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego and of course, our beloved local people too. What made this gathering so amazing was all the stories we shared with one another about our family heritage, food stories and personal family recipes.

So many of us were from different parts of the world and though we all grew up with different family food traditions, we all shared so many things in common. The laughing didn?t stop. And neither did the food, we ate and photographed till we dropped.

This workshop was sold out, but we added new dates and we still have a few spots left. Register for classes here. Thank you to those who came and look forward to meeting all new students.

Tropical?Sangria Recipe
This recipe is based off of what we had at the workshop (apples, mango, and mint) and came together in a delicious sangria. To compliment the mango and mint, we used a touch of white rum and lime to fortify the sangria. This gets even better if made in large batches and allowed to combined flavors over a couple hours before serving.

2 oz. White Wine (Sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, or other crisp white)
1 oz. White Rum
1/2 oz. fresh Lime Juice
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon diced Apples
1 Tablespoon diced Mango
2 lrg Mint leaves, chopped
2 oz. Club Soda

Combine all ingredients except club soda and mix until sugar is completely dissolved.
When ready to serve, pour over ice and finish with club soda.

herbert - Port Gamble S'Klallam now governs its own adoption

LITTLE BOSTON ? The Port Gamble S?Klallam Tribe is the first tribal nation to have a federal agreement enabling it to govern its own adoption, foster care and guardianship programs.

Adoption, foster care and guardianship ? known as Title IV-E programs ? whether under the control of states or tribes, are overseen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

At a signing ceremony Thursday in the S?Klallam House of Knowledge, Port Gamble S?Klallam Chairman Jeromy Sullivan thanked officials from Health and Human Services, the Department of Social and Health Services and the Administration for Children and Families for their part in making the transition happen. But many of those people in turn thanked Sullivan and the S?Klallam government.

?This tribute is really to you, it?s a tremendous moment in government to government relations,? said George Sheldon, assistant secretary of Administration for Children and Families. ?It?s the first of its kind.?

At the ceremony, Sullivan also thanked the previous years of tribal leadership for their work getting the Tribe to this point.

?We?re proud that our Tribe has qualified to administer its own foster care and adoption program,? Sullivan said previously. ?The real winners here will be Tribal families that choose to open their homes for fostering or adopting children. With our own program, we?ll be able to provide dedicated staff and grow services that support these families.?

In 2008, federal legislation was passed allowing the nation?s tribes to run their own Title IV-E programs with reimbursement from Health and Human Services. Up until this time, tribes collaborated with states on adoption and foster care.

Port Gamble S?Klallam now internally administers all Health and Human Services social services, including those related to Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, other child welfare services, and child support assistance.

Jolene George, Port Gamble S?Klallam?s director of Children and Family Services, said with the return to a federal partnership, the Tribe will now see a full reimbursement for services claims, rather than partial reimbursement from the state system.

?It means we can provide [foster children and families] better support services,? she said. ?The children stay within our program, in our own tribally licensed homes. We don?t see them drifting.? The program provides weekly mental health therapy to those in out-of-home placement, as well as assistance at school and the youth center.

S?Klallam culture provides much of the support structure, George said, as even those in guardianship are often placed with community members they consider family. There are currently 28 children in Port Gamble S?Klallam?s foster care system.

Juanita Holtyn has taken care of her granddaughter, Aaliyah Sullivan, 4, since she was a year old.

?I?m all she?s ever known,? she said. ?She calls me Grandma-Mommy.? Holtyn said leaving the decisions of guardianship and foster care up to the Tribe is very important.

As defined by Health and Human Services, foster care programs run by states or tribes ?provide safe and stable out-of-home care for children until the children are safely returned home, placed permanently with an adoptive families or placed in other arrangements for permanency.?

According to DHHS, in 2007, 496,000 children were in foster care throughout the United States, while in 2008, 381,000 children per month were receiving assistance through IV-E programs.

daily sun | education | ?We all are writers here

?I was waiting excitedly for the day as it was a different sort of a day altogether. On that day was held Brine Pickles? workshop on ?Creative Writing and Performance?. Brine Pickles is a group of Bangladeshi creative writers who write in English, and I had a chance to work with them. No doubt, I relished their performance. Seeing a poster of the workshop, I managed to submit a write-up. The instructions of Tanvir Hasan Malik, an Assistant Professor of the Department of English, Eastern University, helped me a lot in submitting my write-up.

I did not expect what I experienced on the day of the workshop. Though it was a hectic day for me but I learned and was privileged to be with the talented people. The workshop was at Omni Music in Dhanmondi. It was conducted by Professor Razia Sultana, Head of the Department of English, Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB).

Reaching there I caught sight of the notice in the downstairs. I moved to the lift and saw two girls approaching it. Both of them were speaking in English and it continued. So, English was in the air. On reaching the ?Omni Music?, I found Sabrina Apu of BRAC University, doing the job of registration for the participants.

There were 18 participants. Susmita, a student of the Department of English, University of Dhaka, was found busy. The participants were coming one by one. Hasan Ameen, the Coordinator, and Munasir Kamal, the Assistant Coordinator of the workshop, were busy contacting Professor Razia Sultana Khan. I was observing the activities quietly. Everybody was talking to each other lightly. There were students from North South University, Independent University, East West University and Dhaka University, and a student of O? Level. I was the only person from Eastern University.

What had increased my numbness were the deliveries from the participants. Their thoughtful write-ups and poems were simply astonishing. My one was only a description. The inspiring line from Professor Razia Sultana Khan was ?We all are writers here?. She was speaking without sitting for long hours. It was an interactive workshop and not boring.

At first, Prof. Khan drew a map of the names of the participants in her mind so that she could call us by name. ?Take a minute to write!? was the first sheet to work with. Then, each of us was asked to pick a photo and describe it. I took the photo of an African woman wearing a yellow ?sari?. I took it as she seemed akin to the conventional women of our country.

The most interesting part of the workshop was the segment called ?Showing vs. Telling?. The speaker advised us to avoid using unnecessary adjectives which kill a write-up. For instance, I chose two topics???I love my mother? and ?The food was bad?. The speaker?s point was putting emphasis on the description so that readers can see what a writer?s intention is. As a result, it will not be a mere ?telling? but ?showing?.

The final part was ?Writing Prompt; Creating a Character?. It deals with understanding of oneself. It should begin with getting positive and negative comments about him/her. And to know oneself thoroughly one should pick the negative comment (s) received from others. He/she has to spend a little time dealing with them.

In addition, Prof. Khan put emphasis on maintaining a journal. It is essential for a creative writer. She also suggested keeping a small notebook to jot down something new, for example, a word or a quotation. It does not matter where you are and what situation you are in. She said, ?You might be in a transport where you can?t sit steady. People may think of you as a freak. But don?t think about that. Do your job?. Writers can be freaky ?an echo of zeal filled the room.

Though the camera was clicking throughout the workshop, we had to pose for a group photo at the end of the workshop. We left the Omni Music with obvious relish.
