Hello Friends!So we are half way through our 3rd week and it has been great!!! Some of you have been talking to me about your diet and how hard it is to follow the meal plan rules.
Well losing weight is NOT easy. You will never heat me say that it is. It takes dedication , motivation, and hard work. You are already doing the hard part by getting up and working out-NOW you have to make those few changes in your diet plan to really start losing weight!
If you are serious about changing your lifestyle and serious about losing the weight the tools that I gave you in the meal will get you to your goal! The key is to dedicate yourself to these changes and do them consistently.
- Eat 3 servings ( 1 serving= cupped hand) 5 -6 times a day! This may sound crazy to some of you that only eat twice a day, but you have to do it! You have to eat to lose weight! If your body does not get food every few hours it goes into starvation mode and begins to store fat to protect you!
- Drink 1/2 of your body weight in oz of water! (if you are 200lbs then drink 100oz of water)
- Drink non calorie drinks. Lay of the alcohol--sorry friends! Binge drinking can stop weigh loss up to 6 days!
- Stay away from all breads, cookies, cereals, pastas --All the 'bad' carbs! BE CREATIVE!!I can give you some fun recipies if you would like!!!
- Eat a fruit and or veggie in each meal (this is where you get your 'good' carbs from)!
- Eat lean protein in every meal!
- Get lots of sleep at night!
- Try not to stress! Figure out those triggers and find ways to de stress-working out is always good!
If you really want to lose weight and keep it off--use these tools! I am living proof that it works!
YOU CAN DO IT--YOU JUST HAVE TO REALLY WANT IT FOR YOU!!!
Exercise at least 3 times a week! The more you come the better!!!
*PS
There are always going to be holidays, get togethers, parties, etc... If you don't change your bad habits now, you won't be around to even celebrate those things later! It is about now and getting YOU healthy! It is weeks out of your life! once you lose the weight you can bring SOME of those things back in MODERATION!!! I KNOW you can do this!
I know this works too! I am been following the diet plan pretty close (but not exactly) and I have had to make adjustments. I have not felt deprived by doing this!! For instance, our family went to Pizza Ranch last week for the buffet. I asked for a one time through charge (cheaper than the regular buffet price) and I had lots of salad and a chicken breast that I took the skin off. When I left I felt satisfied and delighted that I didn't cheat! Last night, my husband made nachos for supper. YUM! Instead of having chips, I put my nacho fixings on a big bed of lettuce and skipped the sour cream. It WAS yummy and I felt like I was eating like everyone else. You can do it too!
