ADVOCARE’S PRODUCTS + EATING RIGHT = MASSIVE RESULTS! By: Emily Daley, Advocare Nutritional Advisor: www.joinemily.com – (509) 406-5515 Below you will learn how to lose a lot of weight and get energized! The secret to shrinkage through diet is two-fold: Plants and Protein! Plants mean vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. Eat everything that grows out of the ground, and you’ll have permanent weight loss. The key is eating lots of fruits, vegetables, and grains that are in their natural state. . . not processed. Protein means stuff like poultry, seafood and more importantly, plant-based proteins that grow, like brown rice etc. Protein is a body-fat incinerator with new fat-burning powers being revealed all the time. Let me tell you why it works: A little bit of body fat is designed for use when there’s a famine and food is scarce. But most of us are storing way too much fat. We all have a gene that activates an enzyme called lipoproteinlipase (LPL). LPL is produced by fat cells to store calories as fat. If there’s too much LPL hanging around, fat stockpiles in the body. What’s really interesting is that LPL is activated by dietary fat! The way to weaken LPL is to give your body very little dietary fat to work with! The secret is cutting back on added fat in your diet. For example, have oatmeal with fresh berries instead of buttered toast. Try a plantbased bean burrito with salsa instead of a beef taco. These fat savings add up over the course of a day and much more over weeks and months. Soon, these substitutions encourage unwanted pounds to vanish effortlessly. Why? Because you’re not only cutting calories, you’re also putting LPL out of business. Thus, to slow LPL, I will teach you how to base each meal around plant foods. The plant sources you’ll be enjoying are “slow carbs and fruits.” “Slow” simply means they are lower on the Glycemic Index (GI). The GI is a scale that ranks carbohydrates by the effect they have on your blood sugar (glucose). Foods on the index are rated numerically, with glucose at 100. The higher the number assigned to a food, the faster it converts to glucose. Foods with a rating of 70 or higher are considered high-glycemic index foods; a rating of 50-69, moderate-glycemic index foods; and below 50, low-glycemic index foods. But you won’t have to worry about numbers. Just understand that if a carbohydrate sends your blood sugar soaring (high on the glycemic index), it sets off a hormonal reaction that can lead to weight gain, as well as hunger pangs! Here is a closer look at what happens; after you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into glucose, or blood sugar. Some carbs (those known as high-GI foods) are dismantled more quickly than others; this causes a huge run-up in your blood glucose. Other carbs (low GI foods) are slow to break down. There’s no glucose spike. Consequently, blood glucose stays relatively steady during the digestion process. When glucose shoots upward in response to high-GI foods, so does the hormone insulin. Insulin is a fatforming hormone; it activates fat cell enzymes. These enzymes push fat from the bloodstream into fat cells for storage and trigger your body to create more fat cells! High-GI foods promote fat storage; Low GI foods do not. Choosing low-GI foods – or as we will call them “slow foods,” makes it possible to lose weight rapidly and safely. Protein is the repairman in your body. It helps carry nutrients through your body, builds muscle, burns fat and boosts your metabolism. You will find a list of protein options including plant-based proteins like nuts, seeds and, brown rice. The weight loss from eating these “slow foods” is pure FAT loss, not water or muscle loss! You will drop countless inches and pounds! You’ll be eating light proteins, lots of fruits and veggies. Slow foods and veggies supply short-range energy. They quickly metabolize from a food state to a usable fuel source. Light protein provides midrange fuel (eggs, legumes, beans, peas, quinoa, brown rice, nuts, seeds, fish, seafood, chicken, turkey). You’ll be eating many foods in their natural state, which is enzymatically rich and has lots of oxygen, which your cells need, and lots of fibers sweeping out your colon. The very first week you switch to this way of eating, you’ll feel a natural high. Your digestion will be so much better. You’ll feel naturally lighter. Everything will begin to function on a higher level. You’ll be removing toxins and fat will drip off your body! This eating plan is designed to get you dropping weight fast. You’ll kick your fat-burning capacity into overdrive. This eating plan, combined with Advocare’s products are based on sound science to be on the bestknown “diet tricks” ever. On this program, you’ll enjoy a special “Veggie Soup,” a high-nutrient soup that is extremely satisfying. You won’t get hungry or feel weak or sluggish. What’s more, your metabolism will stay on “high” because of Advocare’s Products. Soup is an incredible weight-loss tool, one that has been shown in research to help people lose significant amounts of weight by controlling their caloric intake and hunger. The reasons: soup is a “low, energy-dense” food, which means that it provides more food for fewer calories, so you ultimately feel fuller. Soup is high in water too, which can help you feel satisfied on fewer calories. As your body responds to this diet quickly, and you keep seeing results, you’ll stay motivated. Why eat this special Vegetable Soup every day during the cleanse? Here’s a rundown of the key fat-burning ingredients in the soup and how they work to help you drop pounds: OLIVE OIL: revs up fat-burning and keeps your body from packing on fat pounds. Decreases appetite by stimulating certain nerves that tell your brain you’re full. GARLIC: strengthens immune system, your body develops muscle with the help of a strong and effective immune system. ONION: helps create “good” bacteria in your digestive tract = better absorption of nutrients from food. Reduces chronic inflammation, which causes muscle to break down so it can’t grow and develop. SPINACH: has muscle building compounds, also contains a compound that fools our bodies into feeling full by slowing down digestion of fat and giving us that “full” feeling. Also rich in a mineral that’s crucial; for making serotonin, a feel-good brain chemical helping you feel mentally “up” and less likely to spin off your diet. GINGER: turns up your body heat, boosting your metabolism, keeps blood-sugar stable and creates new muscle protein –both great attributes for weight loss. LENTILS: loaded with protein = fat burner! Loaded with fiber, giving you that “enough” feeling, and escorts fat out of the body. POTATOES: contain resistant starch which encourages weight loss. It travels through your digestive system intact, stimulating fat-melting enzymes, encouraging your liver to switch to a fat-burning state, preserves lean muscle mass, fires up your metabolism, boosts the activity of “fullness” hormones in your body. TOMATOES: oxidizes body fat, helps burn fat, ushers fat into cells where it is burned for fuel. THE 10 DAY CLEANSE MENU TEMPLATE Make a large pot of this VEGGIE SOUP, and incorporate that into every day’s menus! BREAKFAST EVERY DAY Advocare’s Meal Replacement Shake – 3 flavors to choose from (Chocolate, Berry or Vanilla.) It can increase your metabolism by 30%. The best way to prepare it is to use a blender; blend 1 cup water plus the packet of Meal Replacement Powder, and some ice cubes to desired consistency. LUNCH EVERY DAY-1 large bowl of VEGGIE SOUP Each & every ingredient in Shred Soup is serving a purpose: the ingredients burn fat, curb appetite, boost immune system, tone muscle, reduce chronic inflammation that causes weight gain, releases “feel good” brain chemicals, & stimulates fat-melting enzymes! VEGGIE SOUP 3 Tbs olive oil 2 cups chopped onion 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp fresh ginger 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp dried basil 4 pinches salt 1 cup chopped carrots 1 ½ cup chopped potatoes 6 large tomatoes chopped + 2 cans Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes 6 cups vegetable broth 2 cups water ¼ cup lentils 1 can Kidney Beans 1 can drained corn or 1 cup frozen corn 1 cup finely chopped cabbage (optional) Pepper to taste In a pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot add the onions and garlic. Once the onions are slightly transparent and tender, add the ginger and stir well for 1 minute. Add in the cumin, dried basil, and salt, and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. Add in carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, broth, water, and lentils and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the lentils and carrots are soft. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot. Note: you may want to double, or even triple this recipe to make sure it lasts long enough. Add chopped spinach leaves to each individual bowl as you are heating it up for lunch. That way, it will be slightly wilted as you heat up your bowl of Shred Soup. DINNER EVERY DAY 1 light protein (4oz. – palm sized): chicken breast, turkey breast, fish, or seafood; plant-based protein, such as ½ cup of beans, legumes, peas, or quinoa; or 1 handful of seeds or nuts; or 4 Tbs of hemp, rice, or pea protein powder in a shake. 1 large bowl of veggie soup, steamed veggies, roasted veggies, or large salad with 2 Tbs low-calorie salad dressing. Prepare the salad with a variety of dark leafy salad greens, and salad vegetables, such as onions, cucumber, celery, broccoli or cauliflower, and tomatoes. GUIDELINES FOR YOUR SUCCESS: 1. Weigh and Take measurements on day 1 and day 24 of your 24 Day Challenge: Neck, Right Arm, Chest, Waist, Hips, Right Thigh, Right Calf. Start a “journal” to keep track of progress, successes, thoughts, etc 2. Look for at least one friend who will take the 24 Day Challenge with you, and will be in communication with you every day! It will keep you accountable. 3. Prepare your 10 day menu for your cleanse, buy the food and also prepare the soup ahead of time. Have vegetables pre-cut for salads and snacks. 4. Stick to the above food plan. . . it’s only for 10 days, while you’re on the cleanse. . . you can do it! When you need a snack, ladle out some Veggie Soup. Or if you’re craving crunch, fill up on as many crunchy vegetables as possible. (carrot sticks, celery sticks, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, cucumbers, sweet peppers, etc) Any raw vegetable will do! 5. Drink plenty of water. Have an ice-cold water bottle ready, drink before you eat. Dehydration causes “false” hunger. Divide your weight by 2. The resulting number is the number of ounces of water you need each day. Get a jug that holds that amount of water, keep it handy with ice to keep it cold, and drink it during the day until it’s gone! Your tissues and organs need water to function. If dehydrated, your body can’t break down fat. With enough water, your blood flow slows down, which means your body can’t obtain the nutrients and energy needs. Water your body!!! 6. Don’t eat after 8PM – after your “bedtime snack,” use mouthwash or brush your teeth to “end” your eating for the night. BELOW, YOU WILL FIND MENU OPTIONS FOR DINNER (breakfast will be Meal Replacement Shake & lunch will be Veggie Soup for all 10 days).
