How to burn off those Thanksgiving calories

I will share my fool proof weight-loss regimen to burn off that Thanksgiving weight gain:
 
I use the one third approach. I eat 1/3 protein, 1/3 fats, and 1/3 carbs. Limit your daily consumption to around 3 ounces of protein, 3 ounces of fats and 3 ounces of carbohydrates per day. You can eat as many meals throughout the day as long as you stick to these guidelines. I personally eat 4 to 5 meals per day. Exercise at least 20 minutes a day by doing simple house chores, walking your dog or bicycling. This will increase your metabolism for several hours even after your workout. Remember to take these supplements: Multivitamin, Calcium Citrate, Fish Oil Extract. Stay hydrated. Expect to lose at least 1.5 pounds per week on average. Cheers!

The secret to losing 6 to 8 pounds per month without the guesswork!




Okay,
I have discovered a simply way to lose weight faster than ever before! Are you ready? If so, then let’s begin. There are 3 rules you must follow to burn fat:
Rule#1) Avoid refined carbohydrates as much as possible. I recommend no more than 56 grams per day.
Rule#2) Buy a smaller bowl/dinner plate and only eat Half the amount you normally eat. I recommend to eat no more than 1750 calories per day.
Rule#3) Move your body for at least 20 minutes per day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re probably thinking that you will be hungry all time, right? Wrong. I will share with you the #1 cause of hunger - refined sugar! Don’t believe me? Then try this: eat 2 Krispy Kreme doughnuts with your favorite sweet beverage. I guarantee your sugar cravings will have your stomach growling in less than 3 hrs. Why? It is fact that sugar is the most addictive drug on the planet...even more than nicotine. Don’t believe me? Google it.
Now try this: eat a quarter pound cheeseburger with a beverage that contains no sugar(such as coffee or ice tea with Stevia as a no calorie sweetener). Did you notice that you felt much more satisfied 3 hrs later compared to the Krispy Kreme doughnuts that you ate before? Of course you did!
But why? The #1 reason we overeat is because the more refined carbohydrates we eat - the more hungry we get! So here’s the caveat: You can get away with eating 50% less than usual without hunger pains only by avoiding excessive sugar intake! Personally, I only drink coffee, tea with Stevia or lots of water. I only drink soda once in a blue moon because it causes sugar cravings/hunger pains. And it’s okay to eat 5 or 6 times a day as long as you don’t go over 1750 calories within a 24 hour period.
What about exercise? Yes. It’s necessary to be active, but you’ll be surprised how little your body requires. Merely 20 minutes per day walking your dog is all you need to boost your metabolism! I personally do calisthenics or ride my bike for 40 minutes per day without fail.
Movement(a.k.a.,"exercise") boosts your metabolism via cortisol production. Cortisol is a hormone your body makes to burn fat. This is known as lipolysis. Sugar interferes with lipolysis! So if you want to burn fat - avoid refined carbohydrates!
The hardest part of this regimen is the first 3 days. That’s because it takes 3 days to ween the body from sugar addiction(hunger pains). You will experience withdrawals, feel weird and horrible - I know I did. You must trust me. After 3 days it will be all downhill from then on.
Did you know that we burn about 500 calories every night in our sleep? That’s 1 pound per week! So we were fasting all this time without ever realizing it! That’s why your 1st meal of the day is called,”Break-Fast”.
Keep in mind: I’m not saying that you can’t have your cake and eat it too as long as it’s done in moderation. So Cheers. Enjoy buying a new wardrobe for the healthier you. Live long & prosper!
