60-second weight loss

60-second weight loss

Losing weight can take no time at all…

And in today’s email I want to give you 7 60-second weight loss tricks that can help shrink your waistline and firm up your body in less than a minute.

1. Do Jumping Jacks

Studies show that you get better results from exercise when you do them in short, all-out bursts than if you were to spend 30-minutes on a treadmill. Set a timer on your phone for 60-seconds and do as many jumping jacks as you can to get a fat-burning boost whenever you want one.

2. Drink A Glass of Water

Staying hydrated helps keep you satisfied and energized between meals. It also keeps you from getting hungry… because a lot of times when you’re thirsty your body confuses it with hunger… which leads to pesky cravings. Every hour or two, stop by the sink and drink 8 ounces of water.

3. Use A Mirror

Put a mirror near your table when you eat. Scientists found that when you eat unhealthy foods (like chocolate chip cookies or kids’ cereal) in front of a mirror, it causes foods to be “less tasty.” The less tasty they are, the less you’ll want to eat them. I suggest only using the mirror trick when you don’t have company over.

4. Chew Gum

Chewing gum burns a few calories but the biggest benefit is that it curbs your appetite. The action of chewing helps distract your mouth and your brain from thinking about food, which helps to keep you from mindless snacking.

5. Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a wildly underrated vitamin for weight loss. Not only will it help protect your bones, strengthen your muscles, and lower your risk for cancer; but studies show that one pill a day can help block the effects of cortisol, a stress hormone that leads to excess tummy fat.

6. Light A Candle

When you’re finished with dinner, light a scented candle in your home. But not just any scented candle. Studies show the aroma of vanilla can help to reduce sugar cravings.

7. Ginger Tea Before Bed

Ginger root plays a key role in weight loss by reducing your body’s production of insulin, the hormone responsible for raising blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar is balanced, you’re less likely to snack. Ginger also helps you feel full and helps burn fat by turning up your metabolism.

More effective than keto for weight loss?

More effective than keto for weight loss?

There’s a strange new diet that studies show may be more effective for weight loss than keto…

And that’s a big deal because keto works FAST (if you can stick to it)…

And some say this diet is way easier than keto, too.

It’s called the Carnivore Diet…

And it’s a surprising strategy…

That delivers a good mix of nutrients that have been shown in studies to shut down hunger…

And boost fat burning in every cell in the body. In fact…

One doctor from the University of Washington who dedicated his life to the study of the carnivore diet, says…

“I’d estimate it works about 40 percent more quickly than a traditional keto diet — and it blows other diets out of the water.”

So what’s the Carnivore Diet all about?

You’ll Eat Lots of Protein

The major component of the Carnivore Diet is that you’re going to eat a lot of protein.

Protein contains something called stearic acid…

Which is really the turnkey of fat loss in this diet.

Studies show that if you don’t get enough stearic acid…

Then it basically “switches off” fat burning in your body. BUT…

By eating a lot of protein and getting plenty of stearic acid on the Carnivore Diet…

You’ll reactivate those little fat burning engines in your cells and that will cause a fat burning spike.

You’re also going to get other important nutrients in animal foods like coenzyme Q10, riboflavin, zinc and vitamins B6, B12, and K…

Which have also been shown to enhance the body’s calorie-burning abilities.

And on top of that…

Eating a high protein diet helps you maintain muscle…

And the more muscle you have…

The faster your metabolism runs…

So even if you have the slowest metabolism right now…

This diet will give it the kick it needs to start running again for fat loss.

You’ll Cut Out Veggies

The Carnivore Diet does NOT include vegetables at first…

Which I know sounds strange. BUT…

The reason it eliminates plants is because plants contain inflammatory chemicals…

That when they’re eaten by people, causes inflammation in our GI tract.

Now you might wonder if not eating vegetables is healthy…

But studies show you can get all of your essential vitamins and minerals from protein sources…

And by lowering inflammation in your stomach…

You’ll have a much easier time losing fat…

Because your body doesn’t like losing weight when there’s inflammation brewing under the surface.

Here’s Your Grocery List

Alright… so you CAN have protein but you CAN’T have plants…

So what does your Carnivore Diet grocery list look like?

Here you go:

… Dairy

… Eggs

… Fish

… Poultry

… Beef

(try to keep them all organic)

… Olives

… Dark Berries

… Squash

Here’s what I recommend…

Try this out for 4-7 days…

And then re-introduce some veggies, nuts, and low sugar fruit back into your diet.

But before you get started, it’s definitely something you want to check with your doctor about.

If you’re interested, here are a few recipes to try:

WAFFLE SANDWICH: Cook two beaten eggs and one ounce of shredded mozzarella in a waffle maker or on a griddle. Instead of bread for the sandwich, layer the outside with turkey or ham… and add mayo if you want some more kick.

CHICKEN FINGERS: Pat dry two pounds of chicken tenders. Dip the chicken tenders in beaten egg, then crushed pork rinds and layer the pork rinds on top of the chicken. Bake the “breaded” chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until done, which is about 20 minutes. You can dip the chicken fingers in a zero-carb honey mustard or BBQ sauce.

BACON MEATBALLS: Mix one pound of ground meat with one egg and a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese. Form 18 meatballs, then wrap each one with half a slice of bacon. Bake the meatballs at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

Quickie keto

Quickie keto

If you’ve ever tried the keto diet before…

But crashed and burned a few days or weeks into it…

Then I want you to know you’re not alone.

The keto diet has been ranked in polls as the hardest diet in the world to stick to…

And that’s because trying to limit your carbs to less than 25 grams a day…

And eliminate all your favorite foods forever…

Like steamy cheese pizza

Gooey chocolate fudge brownies…

Buttery dinner rolls…

And whatever else you fancy…

Is really hard.

You can’t even eat a banana without going overboard!

In my opinion, not eating my favorite foods for the rest of my life…

Sounds silly and impractical.

But guess what…

There’s a new way that you can get all the benefits of keto without cutting out all your favorite carbs forever.

I call it “Quickie Keto”…

And all that means is that when you want to lose weight…

You follow the ketogenic diet.

When you don’t really want to think about it…

Or you want to give yourself a break from dieting…

Then great! Eat your favorite carbs without regrets.

A breakthrough study from Yale University…

Found that doing short “keto spurts” can help you lose MORE weight than if you were to try to stay consistent…

According to their studies when you go keto for a week or so…

It releases a surge of special gamma-delta cells…

And these cells boost your metabolism. However…

After a week, the levels of these cells reach their baseline again…

And that diminishes the effects of the diet.

That’s why doctors from Yale believe it could be best to do short keto spurts…

Because every time you “restart”…

You set yourself up for another wave of the special slimming cells that ramp up your metabolism!

Plus, this is so much more sustainable.

So here’s what I recommend…

Go keto for 6 days…

That’s 6 days of eating less than 20 grams of carbs and eating plenty of dietary fat and veggies.

Then for the next 3 days…

Have your favorite entrees and/or desserts for just one meal a day…

After the 3 days are up…

Go back to doing keto for 6 days.

By doing these keto spurts you’ll notice some really amazing changes to your waistline…

And you’ll still keep your tastebuds happy!

That’s all for today 🙂

Hottest diet trend so far in 2021 (is it worth a try?)

Hottest diet trend so far in 2021 (is it worth a try?)

Dr. Oz is raving about the hottest diet trend of 2021… a technique called time-restricted eating. How does it work?

First, you eat all your food during the same 8-hour window each day… which, according to Dr Oz. is a strategy so good at transforming body chemistry, that he claims it’s, “the best way to lose weight, prevent disease and even live longer.”

And here’s why it’s really starting to ramp up in 2021…

Because we’re finding that to make it even more effective and easy… all you have to do is pair it with soup.

“No other meal is better at controlling hunger and crazy cravings,” says Philadelphia mom Carolyn Wilson, 50, who has appeared on Dr. Oz’s show twice… and has lost 70-pounds with this weight loss trick.

Since homemade soup floods the body with slimming nutrients, it really helps you burn fat and elevate your metabolism. With that in mind, Dr Oz. says it’s no wonder folks are suddenly dropping 1-3 lbs per day on average.

One big reason time-restricted eating, combined with eating more soup helps to speed off excess pounds… is first, because only eating inside an 8 hour window, means you’re not eating for 16 hours each day like most people.

It’s basically a mini fast that’s long enough for your body to use up all its blood sugar and start burning your stored fat for fuel, Dr. Oz explains.

Basically, it’s the body’s way of quickly turbo-charging health. And as a bonus, a number of the compounds released during your fast are known to specifically target tummy fat. Which means you’ll notice those stubborn inches around the midsection shrink away

“Your waist will shrink like crazy,” promises Carolyn, one of Dr. Oz’s show participants. “I lost 14 inches from mine!”

According to Penn State, if you combine one soup-based meal every day with your fast, you’ll lose weight even faster… partly because soup gives the body a break from sugar and processed foods while flooding it with easy-to-absorb nutrients.

For example, soup helps you soak up more thylakoids, compounds in spinach and kale that act as fat blockers. And you’ll get more flavonoid antioxidants from foods like onions and broccoli which also helps to speed metabolism and activate “skinny genes.”

On top of that, soup makes it really easy to cash in on the magic of time-restricted eating. Studies show this soup broth “hack” turns off hunger, so you can stay full much longer than you would eating the same ingredients in any other form. So I guess you could say soup is Mother Nature’s appetite suppressant!

So if you want to try the time-restricted feeding and soup plan… here’s what you can do:

Dr. Oz suggests eating all meals and snacks between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Your soup should include 1 serving of a protein like chicken, ½ cup of beans, and 1 cup of greens. Add natural seasonings, veggies, and small amounts of healthy flavor boosters like olive oil, cheese, and nuts.

To boost the results, eat soup at least once a day. When you aren’t in your eating window, sip water or coffee/tea with an optional shot of hunger-killing MCT oil.

And because it’s such a big change to what you’re probably used to… get a doctor’s okay to try this new plan.

The ONE superfood you need for weight loss

The ONE superfood you need for weight loss

Protein used to be the “golden child” of weight loss foods. Not anymore. Now health experts are focused on two food groups… and if you can get them both in one superfood, then you’ve hit the jackpot. These two food groups are dietary fat and dietary fiber. And when eaten together they’re a powerhouse for weight loss! Which is why today’s email is all about the healthiest 1-2 punch fat-fiber superfood we know of today. Chia seeds. These tiny seeds are loaded with both omega-3 fatty acids as well as insoluble fiber. And for the icing on the cake, they’re also packed with antioxidants, iron, phosphorus, manganese and calcium. According to the Mayo Clinic, dietary fiber in chia seeds can support the digestive system to keep everything “moving” like it should in your gut. It also feeds the good bacteria in your gut, which protects your gut lining and helps eliminate toxins and keep them from entering your bloodstream and making you sick. Chia seeds also control blood sugar levels so extra glucose doesn’t get stored as body fat… And increasing satiety, which means they keep you fuller for longer. (which helps keep pesky cravings at bay, too.) The omega-3s in chia seeds help you to burn fat by reducing belly inflammation… supporting healthy blood sugar levels (giving you a double-defense system against erratic blood glucose)… and supporting healthy metabolism function, so you burn more calories even while you’re resting. So it’s really this simple… Get more chia seeds… just this one superfood… into your diet, and you’ll unlock the incredible benefits of dietary fat and fiber. Now one of MY favorite ways to eat chia seeds is in chia pudding. Chia pudding is typically made by soaking the seeds in water or a plant milk of your choice… It’s important to soak chia seeds before consuming them because they absorb a lot of water and can expand in your system. (Which is a great way to stay hydrated, too). You can also sprinkle chia seeds onto cereal and add them to yogurt. Here’s my favorite chia seed pudding recipe that’s been a go-to dessert whenever I have a sweet tooth but want to make sure I don’t expand the ol’ waistline.
