Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks #weightloss #diet
Start the day: I weigh in
every morning before the day begins to keep an accurate, stable analysis. After
I get up, I assess if I’m even hungry. Sometimes I’m not, and I’ll wait to eat
for an hour, but not longer. I have taken to only drinking about a ¼ cup of
coffee, because of the acid content. I like a little caffeine, but not enough
to make my stomach sour, which acid does. I eat only ½-3/4 of a cup of steel
cut oats in the morning. I make them myself once a week and freeze 7 portions
in the freezer. I defrost them in the morning. Eat them with just a little 2%
milk and no sweetener. If you need a little sweet, use agave nectar. Sometimes,
like today, I didn’t feel as if I wanted the entire portion, so I put it back in
the plastic container for another day. Oats don’t go bad for a while if they
are refrigerated.
A note: I have found that weaning off
of agave nectar and salt on food has added an ingredient to dieting I hadn’t
thought of: the less savory or sweet something is, the less desire you have to
eat beyond your hunger. So, without sugar, I’m able to gauge when I’m simply
full without the added ingredient of desiring the rest because it just tastes
so good and sweet or savory. Also,
I have taken to using ionizing and alkaline drops (Ion Boost) in my first glass
of water in the morning to keep my stomach neutral instead of acidy. Recent
tests have proven that an acidic body will create pain and produce hunger,
especially for sweet food and carbohydrates.
Work Out: With less
food in my stomach, I am more apt to want to work out before lunch. I have been
doing the Step Machine or a yoga workout focusing on my abdominal muscles
almost everyday. If I wait to workout until the evening, I find it harder to
get motivated. You have to try and get at least 30-40 minutes of exercise in
each day, or the food portion of the diet will be minimized, at best. “If you
put energy in, use that energy.” Also, make sure that when you do abdominal
work (which you must do to lose from the midsection of the body and gain core
strength), then you must contract the muscles in the abdomen tightly while
working those muscles. If you can’t get to the gym or do a yoga work out,
bounce on a fitness ball while pulling in the abs while you watch television at
night.
For lunch, eat only
steamed broccoli, carrots, onion, and kale with a teaspoon of melted, real
butter. If on week two, you want to add 2-3 oz. of lean protein, that’s fine.
Add the protein only when you feel depleted of energy. One boiled egg or a few
ounces of lean turkey, chicken or fish would be best. With this meal, you may
want to add a bit of salt (using different kinds of salt from various parts of
the world is very good for your body—of course, you have to buy these various
salts at Whole Foods or a specialty store), because you actually want to eat
the entire portion of vegetables, even though it appears to be a lot of food. I
have an entire cereal bowl of veggies, parboiled, and not cooked to death. Make
sure they are still a bit crunchy. Honestly, I had no idea how much I enjoyed
vegetables until now. I have been craving them every day. I actually look
forward to the part of my meal I usually would save for last.
Snack:
I have a
piece of fruit or a low fat yogurt for a snack between dinner and lunch.
At dinner, eat about
a palm-sized portion of some kind of protein, tender and not so fatty. Also, I
may eat a very small portion of a carb, such as rice or potato or gluten free
pasta (I am totally gluten free now, which I believe has helped, as well) and a
salad—everyday a salad.
For
dessert, if I’m still hungry and want that
little something extra, I eat a dessert-sized ramekin of Jello (sugar free).
At night, for a snack I
have a couple of different things. I have been rolling up a piece of lowfat
cheese in a piece of ham. I may eat a small bag of fat-free popcorn (this tends
to be my go-to, because it’s crunchy and fills me up). Eating the protein and
popcorn together is okay. I have done both and still lose weight. Also, in
times of great desire (especially at the beginning of the diet), I had one,
gluten free cookie.
I guarantee
you that, if you stay on this diet and do the exercise, you will lose weight! I
have put some of my clients on this same diet, and we are all kicking
butt! Get healthy. Bo. If you are on my blog, I’m
attaching before and after pictures of my abdominal area to show the
difference.
