Female Fat Loss Over 40 © 2014 FEMALE FAT LOSS OVER 40 How do you feel about dragging those extra pounds around? Are you motivated enough to take action? If losing that extra weight was easy, then everyone would have the body of their dreams. You’re going to have to make some extra effort with your nutritional plan in order to see those extra pounds fall off to reveal your beautifully developed muscles underneath. Remember: You cannot out train poor nutrition. So if you’re planning on doing the workouts that go with this program, be sure to follow up with supportive eating. In short, to achieve something that you’ve never done before, you have to do something that you’ve never done before. You’ll have to stick to the plan that is laid out in the program. Understanding the reasons why you should be eating certain foods and avoiding others is very helpful in motivating you to ‘stay the course’. For the last two decades or more we’ve been told that a diet high in carbohydrates and low in fat is the best way to eat for health and a slim waistline. But the truth is that fat is where the flavor is, so in an effort to add flavor to products that had the fat artificially reduced, manufacturers added sugar. But far worse than sugar, they added artificial sweeteners in the form (most commonly) of phenylalanine. Along with this increase of processed sugar products to practically every packaged food, the western world has seen an unprecedented leap in obesity, Type 2 diabetes, food intolerances, depression, skin disorders, cancers and other diseases that were hardly known 50 years ago. Our modern diet comprises staggeringly high amounts of sugar, transfats, overly processed foods and shockingly low levels of nutritious, fibre rich whole foods.

FEMALE FAT LOSS OVER 40 How  do  you  feel  about  dragging  those  extra  pounds  around?  Are  you  motivated  enough  to  take  action?  If  losing  that  extra  weight  was  easy,  then  everyone  would  have  the  body  of  their  dreams.  You’re  going  to  have  to  make  some  extra  effort  with  your  nutritional  plan  in  order  to  see  those  extra  pounds  fall  off  to  reveal  your  beautifully  developed  muscles  underneath.  

 Remember:  You  cannot  out  train  poor  nutrition.  So  if  you’re  planning  on  doing  the  workouts  that  go  with  this  program,  be  sure  to  follow  up  with  supportive  eating.  

 In  short,  to  achieve  something  that  you’ve  never  done  before,  you  have  to  do  something  that  you’ve  never  done  before.  You’ll  have  to  stick  to  the  plan  that  is  laid  out  in  the  program.  Understanding  the  reasons  why  you  should  be  eating  certain  foods  and  avoiding  others  is  very  helpful  in  motivating  you  to  ‘stay  the  course’.  

 For  the  last  two  decades  or  more  we’ve  been  told  that  a  diet  high  in  carbohydrates  and  low  in  fat  is  the  best  way  to  eat  for  health  and  a  slim  waistline.    But  the  truth  is  that  fat  is  where  the  flavor  is,  so  in  an  effort  to  add  flavor  to  products  that  had  the  fat  artificially  reduced,  manufacturers  added  sugar.    But  far  worse  than  sugar,  they  added  artificial  sweeteners  in  the  form  (most  commonly)  of  phenylalanine.    Along  with  this  increase  of  processed  sugar  products  to  practically  every  packaged  food,  the  western  world  has  seen  an  unprecedented  leap  in  obesity,  Type  2  diabetes,  food  intolerances,  depression,  skin  disorders,  cancers  and  other  diseases  that  were  hardly  known  50  years  ago.  

 Our  modern  diet  comprises  staggeringly  high  amounts  of  sugar,  trans-­‐fats,  overly  processed  foods  and  shockingly  low  levels  of  nutritious,  fibre  rich  whole  foods.

A  paleo-­‐style  diet  is  a  return  to  the  diet  of  our  forebears  with  a  focus  on  lean  proteins,  and  a  diet  full  of  nutrient  rich  fruits  and  veggies.    The  health  benefits  of  a  paleo-­‐style  diet  include:  

• Increased  energy  • Stable  blood  sugar  • Reduced  body  fat  • Reduced  allergies  • Clearer,  healthier  skin  • Anti-­‐inflammatory  • Improved  sleep  • More  efficient  workouts  

 

With  a  very  simple  adjustment  we  remove  foods  that  are  at  odds  with  our  health  including  grains,  dairy  and  legumes.  

 

Once  we  return  to  whole  foods  we  see  a  dramatic  drop  in  sugar  and  sodium  intakes  with  all  the  health  and  weight  loss  benefits  that  come  along  with  eating  natural  foods.    Cravings  will  be  a  thing  of  the  past  and  you’ll  find  your  tastebuds  actually  look  forward  to  real  foods.  

 

You  will  be  provided  with  a  mix  and  match  meal  plan  that  you  will  use  for  21  days.    

 

This  program  tells  you  when  and  basically  what  to  eat.  We  prefer  to  allow  some  choice  in  the  menu,  as  this  is  more  applicable  to  real  life.  For  now,  you’ll  choose  between  7  breakfasts,  7  lunches,  7  dinners  and  7  snacks.    It’s  not  practical  to  live  your  life  carrying  around  a  piece  of  paper  with  your  prescribed  foods/meals  on  it  day  in  and  day  out.    

 

This  is  an  educational  process.  You’re  expected  to  PAY  ATTENTION  to  what  you’re  eating,  HOW  YOU  FEEL  eating  it  and  how  your  body  reacts  to  it.

Practise  mindfulness  in  your  eating.    Try  and  avoid  technology  while  you  eat,  for  at  least  these  21  days.    How  often  have  you  watched  TV  while  eating  and  looked  down  in  surprise  to  find  you’ve  cleared  your  plate  and  don’t  even  remember  doing  so?    Eat  slowly,  put  your  knife  and  fork  down  in  between  bites;  try  and  stop  eating  when  you’re  80%  full;  listen  to  the  cues  your  body  gives  you  and  you’re  on  your  way  to  permanent  changes  in  managing  your  nutrition.  

 

The  simplest  mantra  you  can  adopt  in  your  mindful  eating  plan  is  “Never  starved,  never  stuffed”.    Don’t  leave  it  too  long  in  between  eating  so  that  you  fall  on  your  food  in  ravenous  hunger  –  and  neither  leave  the  table  so  full  you  can’t  move.      

 

A  recent  study  in  the  International  Journal  of  Obesity  showed  that  people  that  had  lost  the  most  weight  in  the  early  stages  of  their  diet  maintained  their  weight  loss  far  better  2-­‐5  years  later.    In  simple  terms,  it’s  motivating  to  get  rapid  fat  loss!  

 

You’ll  want  to  be  drinking  plenty  of  water  on  this  meal  plan  so  if  you’re  not  used  to  drinking  water,  now  is  the  time  to  start.    You  should  be  aiming  for  at  least  6-­‐8  glasses  a  day.    Soft  drink,  caffeinated  beverages  and  iced  tea  are  not  water  and  are  not  interchangeable.    Your  goal  is  to  give  your  body  a  break  from  sugary  drinks  and  chemically  processed  beverages.    Drink  water,  green  or  herbal  teas  and  exclude  alcohol  for  these  21  days.  

 

To  keep  your  motivation  high  and  provide  a  psychological  break  in  the  week,  we  encourage  you  to  indulge  in  a  “treat  meal”  once  every  7  days.  It’s  not  a  cheat-­‐day  or  a  binge  session  –  plan  it  carefully  to  make  sure  you  enjoy  it  –  have  your  favourite  foods,  enjoy  them  guilt  free  and  get  straight  back  to  the  program  at  your  next  meal.

FEMALE FAT LOSS OVER 40 The  reasons  for  this  cheat  meal  are:  

• It  provides  a  mental  break  from  measuring  foods.    • It  gives  you  something  to  look  forward  to  so  that  adherence  to  the  

program  is    easier  for  the  rest  of  the  week.    • It  helps  to  keep  leptin  levels  high  so  that  the  metabolism  doesn’t  fall  off.  

It  can  take  about  a  week  of  severe  dieting  to  lower  leptin  levels  (thus  lowering  metabolism),  but  it  only  takes  one  meal  of  higher  calorie  eating  for  leptin  levels  to  recover  to  baseline  levels.  (Leptin  is  a  hormone  that  goes  to  the  satiety  center  of  the  brain  to  make  you  feel  full  and  satisfied.)    

 If  you  can’t  stick  to  the  exact  plan  there  are  some  basic  principles  you  need  to  be  aware  of.    There  are  three  meals  with  one  snack  (ideally  this  snack  will  be  an  afternoon  one)  spaced  out  throughout  the  day,  your  source  of  carbohydrates  will  come  from  quality  veggies  and  fruits.      

 Planning  is  required  to  ensure  that  meals  are  balanced.  There  are  no  empty  calories,  that  is  every  food  item  packs  a  nutritional  punch.  There  is  a  higher  protein  ratio.  Protein  helps  stabilize  blood  sugar  and  reduces  cravings.  

 Now  this  is  a  fairly  strict  regime,  but  if  you  are  serious  about  looking  your  best  in  21  days,  if  you  follow  it  to  the  letter,  then  you’ll  not  be  disappointed.  Remember  to  put  all  your  energy  into  the  short  video  workouts  and  high  intensity  interval  workouts  for  maximum  results.  

 Experts  say  that  it  takes  21  days  to  develop  a  habit.  It  is  my  hope  that  over  the  course  of  the  next  21  days,  that  you  will  begin  to  change  your  eating  habits  so  that  even  after  your  21  Day  Rapid  Fat  Loss  program,  you  will  continue  to  re-­‐composition  your  body,  slowly  losing  fat  and  replacing  it  with  muscle.  This  is  just  the  start  of  a  lifestyle  change  that  will  see  to  it  that  your  health  and  wellness  improves  as  well  as  how  you  look  in  your  jeans.
