Stop Starving Yourself

imageOn this program you are eating a meal replacement every 3 hours.  That’s right, every 3 hours.  When you go longer than 3 hours between meals your body actually begins to store fat.  Think back to the caveman days.  Back then there were no supermarkets to get whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted.  The caveman didn’t know when his next meal was coming.  He only ate when he was able to kill something and then would stuff himself.  Why?  Because he didn’t know when he might eat again.  Could be days or weeks. Our bodies were taught to revert to Survival Mode  which our bodies still do today.  Of course this is to protect us from starvation the best way the body can.  So how do we turn our bodies into fat burning machines?  By eating every 3 hours.  Because you are eating frequently, you’ll never feel hungry and your metabolism stays revved up.

Water Water and more Water

imageIn order to have the best weight loss results you should drink 64 oz’s of water a day.  That seems daunting but here is the reason why.  Drinking Water Revs Up Your Metabolism.  Dehydration is your body’s enemy.  It slows bodily functions and metabolism.  As a mater of fact, your metabolism will slow to conserve energy when you haven’t had enough water to drink as your organs can’t and won’t function efficiently.  Scientifically speaking, drinking water has been proven to contribute to your body’s ability to burn calories more efficiently.  Dehydration prohibits the fat burning process.

Buy yourself a 16 oz water bottle and first thing in the morning drink that entire bottle of water. Cold water is even better because your body will have to warm up the water entering your system which increases your metabolism.  Have another 16 oz bottle around lunch time, that will help fill you up also.  Have another 16 oz bottle around 3:00 in the afternoon, that will also increase energy for that afternoon slump and a final 16 oz before dinner.  There you have it, your 64 oz’s for the day.  Drink Up!
