Welcome to your Pre-Metabolism Makeover Quick Start Meal Plan! This quick start meal plan is designed specifically to give you a little pre-challenge jump-start in the right direction and give you some momentum so that you can start seeing results and continue through the entire 6 weeks and beyond successfully. Below you will find a basic outline of the core components to this quick start plan. And get ready because this is JUST the Beginning… We will be digging into all things metabolism and our exact Craving Elimination Meal Planning Formula to keep you lean as soon as the challenge starts! This formula will help you decrease belly bloating, tone your muscles and blasting your metabolism through the roof. Until then, enjoy your quick start plan and I will talk to you soon! Here we go: 1. Exercise. Exercise alone does not guarantee weight loss! I have worked with countless clients in the exercise realm for literally years, and their weight never budged. Then why, you might be asking yourself, is exercise a core component of this program? Because it’s going to be a huge helper in facilitating your energy level, your caloric expenditure, your lean Muscle Toning and your mood! The most important reason, however, might be because you want to at least preserve your muscle mass while you are losing fat weight. I have read studies where the subjects lost weight only through dieting, but the weight they lost was around 50% fat, and 50% muscle. That is a huge problem. The less muscle you have, the slower your metabolism runs. If you lose a lot of muscle mass, you are decreasing your basal metabolic rate, which essentially means you will have to eat even less to maintain your lower weight. By exercising throughout this program, it will ensure that you keep the muscle and lose the fat. It will help regulate and balance your hormones, keeping your emotions level and your fat loss steady. It will help blast excess calories off and get you leaner faster! I Luv My Body Fitness Quick Start Meal Planning System 2. Long Term Consistency The first week is a little challenging and takes more time and effort on your part. Stay consistent! By the second week, you’ll feel as if you are on a roll. And by the third week on, you will have had many opportunities to stray from the plan. Above all else...stay consistent. By eating the foods Iʼm recommending and by staying on a schedule that I recommend, you will be boosting your metabolic rate and burning fat more rapidly. So instead of seeing the plan as boring or daunting, make the choice to commit and you will soon reap the rewards! 3. Eat when you are Hungry, Stop When you Are Full You will be eating 4-6 meals throughout the day of nutritious whole foods. But even whole, clean foods can make you gain weight if you over-do it. To see the best results, youʼll need to pay close attention to the foods you eat when you eat them. This plan was designed to expedite your metabolic burn and works best if you do not over stuff yourself. Make sure that you chew your food completely and eat without distractions. 4. Sticking to the right foods When it comes to food, science has shown that the right balance of clean protein, carbs from fruits and healthy fat sources help to expedite fat loss. So stick to the basic food sources in the plan. 5. Major Keys to success: • If at all possible, do what you can to have a reasonably low-stress, chilled-out life. If you are in the middle of a move, a job change, or a very stressful situation, it will negatively impact your ability to get through this program. • Get rid of temptations, The more tempting the snacks you have around, the more you will want to fall off the wagon. Rid your pantry of processed foods asap. • With that said, try to get your spouse/significant other involved. Itʼs funny, but whatever I cook, my husband will eat it! • If you are busy, Prepare your meals ahead of time. For example, make enough chicken to last you a couple of days. Cook a ton of veggies and eat them throughout the week. Chop up all your celery and put them in individual baggies. I have provided sample quick and easy recipes to make this fast for you. 6.
