Let’s talk about fast tips to strip the fat quickly when you want to drop body fat! Here’s what we do initially with our “cleaning house” strategies as we get ready to start out with a new client in our In Home Celebrity Training program. The things that we want to focus on is begin to eliminate all of the foods that didn’t exist 3,000 years ago and then break it down into 10 real simple steps.
First, you want to eat 30 to 60 minutes after you get out of bed. This will jump start your metabolism, get your body going, kind of put a little fuel in the tank, sort of speak. From this point, you want to eat every two to three hours to keep blood sugar stable.
The 2nd step would be to eat protein with every meal. Basically anything that has eyes, had a heartbeat, walked on land, flew in the air or swam in the water-- get it, eat it. Sorry vegans, you can do your thing with your beans and sprouts.
The other thing is we have some low fat dairy choices and eggs. I’m not so wild about dairy, but some people really have to have it. There are a lot of us that have allergies with it. But we will go into that a little bit more. Low fat cottage cheese would be my choice and then some of the low fat plain vanilla yogurts. You can find those at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, basically any health food supermarket.
You can also augment your menu plan with some whey protein powders. Not everybody’s favorite, and hold off on the soy based products as well. Plenty of research indicates that it may not be the best for a fat loss strategy. Let’s first try to eat whole foods first without a whole lot of those supplements unless needed to keep calories lower.
Third, the next item would be eating vegetables and/or fruit with every meal. The idea would be to eliminate the fruit, if you are interested in losing weight or body fat; if you’re a huge fruit eater, there's a need cut back on that and mainly focus on our vegetables. Mostly the green ones... great big, green leafy salads are very good. And again, we will talk about this some more in our show and tell video and audio series.
And the 4th item, “when” to eat “other” carbs. These would be those carbs consumed only post workout... mainly brown rice, dry oats, potatoes, yams, items of that sort. General rule of thumb for us, is if a guy didn’t bring it in a bushel or in a basket to the market, don’t eat it. If it came out of a machine and it was mixed with chemicals, additives, flavoring and it was churned up and out comes a pretzel, out comes a bagel, or bun-- you get the idea? If it is not coming out of the ground, if it is man made then it’s not really a quality carb that we want to include in our menu plans folks.
And 5th, we want to focus on our essential fats... omega 3, 6 and 9 basically nut butters, fish oil and vegetable oil. Nut butter is real simple. We go for peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter, macadamia nut butter and maybe some sunflower seed butter, but basically the butters that you find in the store that have the oil in them. Not the Jiffy, not the Skippy, not the hydrogenated fats but the stuff that has the oil flowing on the top...when you open the lid, you'll see it. Don’t throw the out the oil, mix it! You got to have it, it’s the best part and plenty good for you.
The other item would be the fish oils, a lot of us don’t eat a lot of salmon every day so let’s go with a fish oil supplement. We use a product on our sites you can look for the Pro Grade insignia, just click on the link. We have something called krill oil which is actually a superior type of oil other than the fish oil. It is actually a better quality, a lot of research on it is discussed by Dr. Mercola on his websites. You might want to check into that if you are not familiar with it. We have tons and tons of research behind it. But krill oil is good. Omega 3 oils salmon oil, fish oil capsules about a gram. You want to look for a combined EPH and DHA that gives you something in the neighborhood of 300 epa/dha combined strength or more. So look for that on the back of package label.
Water is 6th. That is probably the only liquid that we really encourage. A lot of people want to drink sodas and what about java juices and all those other drinks? Anything man made-- just get rid of it, plain and simple. If you want to have it on your cheat day, that is up to you. If you are looking as lean as you possible want to be, hey, you deserve a break. I don’t really consider that a break. I consider that kind of like suicide, eating that kind of stuff that is. That is still your choice, you deserve it, and you worked hard. Otherwise, for those of you who haven’t hit your mark yet let’s get rid of all the other stuff other than the water. Shoot for about a half a gallon to a gallon a day. Basically take your weight and divide it in half and drink that in ounces minimum.
Then 7th, we look at adding a variety of food, which will be the next step. Try not to eat the same things every day. So many people like to have chicken breast and vegetables every day. Boring, absolutely boring. Try to have a little variety. Have your meats, have your fishes, different combinations of vegetables. Have different kinds of carbs, starches, when you do eat them. Just try to break the monotony up a bit. A full rotation of different whole foods is a really good idea.
Next item, 8th, you want to plan your meals. Plan today what you are going to eat tomorrow. Plan this week what you are going to eat next week. So that you are not just kind of flying through the day on a see food diet, you see food, you eat it. No, no, no. Focus on planning what it is you are going to do before you do it. So, take a few minutes on a Sunday cook up all your meals, get all your proteins set up. Maybe do it again on a Wednesday so you have your week in control. Get yourself a nice supply of Tupperware, a couple of small coolers. We discussed that in one of the other videos. Really great strategy for travelers and weekend events if you have meals, you are in control instead of just eating by the seat of your pants. You can see what the rest of America looks like by eating by the seat of their pants.
And then we have the 9th item, which is to incorporate what we call a cheat day. I don’t want to call it a repeat day. I like cheat day, people like that term, it’s really great because it makes them feel like they are being bad. Have things you don’t normally have on the seventh day. You can’t work seven days a week so you need to take a break from eating super clean from time to time. Try that strategy so you can keep yourself sane. We will be a little more specific on the quantities of things when you become an online client. We will discuss it in some of the videos and we will also discuss it in the e-book scheduled for release Jan 09 which will go into a little bit more detail.
And 10th is to be consistent long enough to see change. Most people have an unrealistic idea of hard work and just how long it actually took to put the fat on in the first place. Be steady, follow the guide lines and in enough time, you’ll have a body that you can be proud of and that you’ll cherish enough to not treat so badly in the future. Thanks for staying healthy…M24LIFE!
