Up to 70% of your overall results come down to nutrition and fueling your body.
Step 1 – Choose Your Plan
Lose weight, cleanse and tone muscle more effectively with our eating plans.
Your goal will dictate which type of program you follow. Losing weight,
cleansing and toning muscle have their own guidelines to ensure your success.
Step Two – 3 – Day Food Log
I like having a 3 day snap shot of what I’m doing each day that needs to change.
One of the reasons I like it is it immediately makes you more conscious of your moment by moment decisions.
I find it easier on our clients to make simple changes to what they are already
doing rather than do a complete overhaul of everything because it’s highly likely
there are some healthy choices they are already making that they enjoy and will
want to keep.
Step Three – Try a Cleanse
Our bodies seem to be bombarded by toxic overload from stress, the foods
we eat, the air we breathe, cleaning chemicals and the bodies natural toxin
creating system that comes from creating energy for your body. Whether
they come from something positive like exercise or destructive like second
hand smoke, this toxic overload isn’t good for the 3 primary filters of the
body which are the liver, colon and small intestine. When these 3 become
overloaded, the body can try to neutralize the potential damaging results
by neutralizing the toxins & trapping them in water and fat causing the body
to go into a state of water and fat retention.
How does it work?
The goal of cleansing is to give these 3 filters a break and free them up to do
the work they are intended to do. Cleaning up your eating without focussing
on freeing up these toxin removing systems is kind of like changing the oil in
your car without changing the oil filter.
I’ve watched our clients get amazing results from one week of cleansing by
following our simple cleansing regimen of eating and using our cleansing
system of vitamins, herbs and probiotics to populate the body with healthy
bacteria while purging it of excess junk.
The liver is the primary fat burner of the body. Freeing it up helps you
burn more fat. Clearing excess toxins also frees up the surface area of your
small intestine for maximum absorption of vital nutrients that keeps the
immune system strong, your metabolism up and the body nourished which
is beneficial for weight loss, muscle gain and optimal health.
What type of results can I expect to see?
Like anything, results vary from person to person. My experience has been
the more weight you have to lose and the more out of shape you are, the more
you will probably lose. Listen to the Success Stories. The first three women
listed there did the 7 day cleanse.
The biggest and in my opinion most powerful result is breaking any carb
addictions you may have. This alone will help you see measurable results
the first week and after. It typically only takes 3 days to break the cravings.
Once you introduce them to your eating again, you’ll notice you are satisfied
with far less starchy, sugary carbs and don’t feel like you’re eating them out
of control which is one of the main habits that leads to weight gain.
Get your mind right!
Contrary to popular belief and what seems logical, restricting your calories
as much as possible and exercising like a maniac won’t lead to automatic
weight loss. Too little food for the amount of activity you do and your RMR,
Resting Metabolic Rate which is how many calories you burn on a non –
exercising day, can put your body in starvation mode. This response can
cause the body to hoard fat, burn carbs and protein leaving you hungry,
tired and frustrated with your program.
Another misconception is that carbs are bad but carbs are a necessary fuel
of the body. Without them you can’t think straight, your energy is terrible
and exercise is almost impossible. Carbs convert to the primary fuel for
muscle contraction, glycogen. Think about a marathon runner flailing
across the finish line and collapsing at the end. What happened? They
“hit the wall”, also known as glycogen depletion. If you don’t have the
energy to do a good workout and recover then it’s almost as bad as not
working out at all.
It’s important to understand not all carbs are created equal. We have
“good carbs” and “bad carbs”. Good carbs are high fiber grain sources,
vegetables and fruits while Bad carbs are sodas, sweets and starchy
foods that burn off very quickly after we eat them. They spike blood sugar
levels and cause the body to store and gain fat. They don’t have to be
eliminated from your eating plan but limited and eaten at strategic times.
