Learn How to Lose Weight for Improving Metabolism for the Long Term

How would you like to lose 10 or more holiday pounds for good?  We all know fad diets don’t work, but we want to try them anyway.  They offer the lure of a quick-fix to a long-term problem.

Most people have messed up their metabolism so badly, they find it almost impossible to lose weight.  When they turn to fad diets, they either don’t lose or the weight comes right back on, along with even more pounds! 

We need to fix our metabolism for long-term weight management & hormonal balance.  Plus we want results now! 

My weight loss plan offers the best of both – we fix the metabolism and lose the weight for good!  Let’s enjoy the Holidays and start January off on the right foot, losing weight for good this time.

A Broken Metabolism
  • Poor lifestyle & nutrition choices lead to a broken metabolism.  Fad diets, skipping meals, poor nutrition and no exercise all add up to a damaged metabolism.  You can heal it by following this simple plan.  It’s easy to do with a little planning, but it does take time to see the benefits.  You don’t need to count calories, but be sensible about portion sizes.  It’s the mix of protein, carbohydrate and fat that makes it work.  The next section will tell you how to speed it up so you can lose weight now.  But first, to heal your metabolism, there are only two rules…..
Rule Number 1 –  NEVER SKIP ANOTHER MEAL.
(Did you know that Sumo wrestlers only eat one big meal per day?  Yes, that’s how they get so fat!)

Rule Number 2 –  Every meal or snack needs to contain realistic portions of lean protein, healthy fat, real carbohydrates and a non starchy vegetable.

What to Eat

Quality Protein:
  •  lean meats & chicken (avoid meats with nitrates, hormones, chemicals, preservatives)
  • eggs
  • lamb
  • fish
  • tofu, tempeh, miso

Healthy Fats:  (Yes, FAT is very important to hormonal balance & a healthy metabolism.  That’s why the low fat diets never worked.)  Find additional information about healthy fats on my web site.
  •     flax oil
  •     flax seeds (freshly ground only)
  •    walnuts, almonds
  •     olive oil
  •     butter
  •     coconut oil
  •     fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, albacore tuna

Real Carbohydrates

  •     squash, potatoes, corn
  •     legumes, beans, lentils
  •     Sweet potatoes or yams
  •     Peas
  •     Any fruit
Non Starchy Vegetables
  •     Lettuce & other leafy greens
  •     Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower

These are just a few food ideas.  I’m purposely focusing on the positive here…. what to eat… versus what NOT to eat.  If you focus on what good things to eat, there  won’t be much time or energy to worry about the negative.  If you need more direction or ideas, please feel free to contact me directly.  Or check out the book by Diana Schwarzbein MD, “The Program.”  Also, visit my web site often for more information that will support your weight loss efforts.  I will provide weekly updates throughout January and February, to include more food ideas, snack ideas and other topics that may help your weight loss and keep you focused.

Add Ultra Meal Plus 360 to your diet for weight loss NOW!

Ultra Meal Plus360, by Metagenics is a “medical food” that is proven to help people lose weight, improve cholesterol, triglyceride & insulin levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.  Simply replace 1-2 meals or a meal and a snack each day with one of the delicious shakes.  It has the correct balance of protein, carbohydrate and fat to work well with the program to heal your metabolism, while speeding up your weight loss.  If you need a little more, just ad a handful of walnuts or almonds on the side.  Only a handful though!

The health benefits are tremendous because Metagenics uses PharmaSoy, plant sterols, SKRMs (selective kinase response modulators, which are clinically shown to improve fasting insulin and triglyceride levels) and body-ready folate to promote healthy homocysteine levels and cardiovascular helath.  Ultra Meal Plus 360 is a great low glycemic meal option.

Add Fish Oil to your diet to speed up weight loss
The fatty acids in fish have been shown to turn on fat-burning genes and turn off fat-storing genes.   There are many other health benefits to these fatty acids (EPA & DHA) including brain health, heart health & more.  Most people don’t eat enough fish or the right type of fish to satisfy the requirements for EFAs.  Metagenics offers a high quality supplement, free of mercury and other toxins from cold-water fish – EPA-DHA 720
