How to shed body fat in just six weeks
Let me first set the tone. If you do this properly, we guarantee you shed multiple kilos of body fat. Every single one of our clients who have done this below have been blown away by the results. We've had one client who lost 7.6kg, and an average of 3.5kg across 50 clients.
It's almost like it's magic.
And you know what the secret sauce is?
Clean out the stuff that gets you in trouble.
Most of us aren't cyborgs, we are being influenced by our environment on a minute by minute basis.
The first step to a successful lean-out is optimising your environment.
For example, as this is getting written I am sitting with a big glass of water right next to the computer to remind me to drink more...and guess what? I drink more water when I have a glass next to me. I bet you take a sip of your water right now ;)
That's the power of the environment.
How many times have you mindlessly grabbed something to eat because you saw food lying on the table or some 'goodies' in the staff break room? You weren't hungry at all, but you saw the food and you unconsciously grabbed a small handful.
This happens all the time. Unfortunately, we can't always control our environment when we are at the office or out and about -- in those instances, we will have to rely on willpower -- but, the one place you do have COMPLETE control over is your home.
Our environment has a strong effect on our food decisions.
By simply fixing our environment we can 'nudge' ourselves into making better decisions with food.
It is pretty cool and doesn't even take any willpower.
So, your task for today is a Kitchen Klean-Up.
You're cleaning EVERYTHING other than REAL FOOD.
Unpackaged, fresh, clean food is the goal.
Now, you have two options for this:
Option 1: Throw out (or donate) any and all processed food that is not going to support your journey over the next six weeks. We will get to the details later.
Option 2: Take all the food that is not going to support your journey over the next six weeks and put it in ONE specific cupboard. Preferably out of the kitchen, maybe even in the hallway cupboard.
Option 1 is going to be the best because if it's out of the house you won't have to worry about temptation. If, however, you have children or stubborn significant others that still need 'their' food in your household, it might be better to opt for Option 2.
Now, what needs to get the boot?
DRINKS
Any calorie-containing beverages need to go. This is not an exhaustive list but...
Soft drinks
Juices
Flavoured Milks
Full cream milks
Oat milk (dense calories)
Replace with:
Water (still or sparkling)
Unflavoured coffee, tea or herbal tea
Low fat milks
Almond Milk
PACKAGED FOODS
This is going to be most things that are in a package. Get rid of things like...
Crackers, biscuits or cookies
Crisps
Snack bars, granola bars, cereal bars
Replace with...
Fruits and vegetables
Whole grains (quinoa, steel-cut oats, millet, buckwheat, brown rice)
Legumes
SWEETS
This category is pretty straightforward. LOSE THESE:
Sweets and chocolate
Ice cream, sorbets and frozen yoghurt
Cakes and treats
Replace with...
Fruits and berries
Non fat greek yoghurt
CONDIMENTS
(my personal achilles heel)
Get rid of these...
Jam and marmalade
Ketchup and mayonnaise
BBQ sauce
Commercial salad dressings
Replace with...
Homemade salad dressing (olive oil, vinegar, spices)
Mustard (check the back label for sugar free ones)
Hot sauce (Tabasco, Frank's Red Hot)
If you want the 'easy button' here it is:
Remove all packaged, processed foods and replace them with whole foods.
Replace the foods with labels with the foods that do not have any labels.
This isn't an exhaustive list. If you are unsure whether a food is 'acceptable' or not, ask yourself whether you could find that food in nature. If the answer is yes, it's probably real food.
If something has a label and lots of ingredients, it's probably packaged and processed.
You don't see spaghetti growing in fields but you can see tomatoes.
If you want to blow away body fat, eating real food is the easiest and quickest way to do so. Every one of our 6 week challenge folk crush their body fat goals with this one easy task.
Because, well, sometimes willpower isn't around when you need it.
And by doing this we remove the need for willpower.
