Lose 10 pounds by Valentines Day with BonVie Weight Loss Santa Monica / Portland

How would you like to lose 10 pounds by Valentine's Day? After the over indulgences of the season you may be thinking of how to lose weight for the New Year I'm Sharon Lacroix at BonVie Weight loss and Nutritional Wellness and I'm here to help you lose 10 pounds by Valentine's Day, and if you want some coaching support and accountability to make your effort even more successful, then give me a call and set up an appointment.

But if you want to lose weight on your own here are the top ways to reach your goal.

First, during fat loss, eliminate carbs completely.

Think of how many times each day you eat carbs now.

Carbs at breakfast, lunch, carbs for snacks, dinner, cocktail carbs, desert, and also watch out for hidden carbs.

Remember, sugar is carbohydrate, carbs are sugar.

For example, fruit and yogurt are carbs.

Second, eat more protein, a lot more protein.

Most of us get so filled up on carbs that we don't eat way enough.

Aim for 12 to 16 ounces of lean protein a day.

What happens with insufficient protein is that we burn down muscle.

Muscle uses fat for fuel so we want to spear muscle.

Most diets do not provide enough protein, causing us to burn muscle for fuel, then at the end of the diet, the person puts all the weight and maybe more, back on as they have less muscle to burn fat than they did prior to the diet.

And do limit red meat and fatty fish like salmon to two times per week to keep your total fat content down.

While you're in a weight-loss mode, you do need some healthy fat in your diet though, so have a total of two teaspoons of olive or grape seed extract each day.

Third strategy for weight loss, take a break from alcohol.

Interestingly, it is not the carbs in drinks that keep us from burning fat provided you stay away from mixed cocktails, dark alcohols, and beer.

It is what happens to your metabolism, alcohol is metabolized in the liver, not the gut, and while the liver is busy processing the toxins in alcohol, the body is not metabolising fat.

If you do decide to drink while trying to lose weight, it will greatly slow down or eliminate reaching your goal.

It helps us know we are on the right track.

Next tip, fill up on vegetables but make them the low glycemic kind, that means veggies with low sugar content, in addition to keeping full, the micronutrients and vegetables are essential for energy, metabolism, and glowing skin.

Speaking of glowing skin, drink between 64 to 80 ounces of water each and everyday.

Proper hydration promotes fat burning and that's what you're after, right? Water is free and it makes a big difference in fat burning.

Commit to writing it down.

That means keeping a food journal.

The NIH did a study showing people who kept a food diary while dieting lost fifty percent more weight.

That's like fifty percent faster or fifty percent cheaper, however you want to look at it.

Finally, reduce your exercise, that's right, reduce the intensity of your workout while you are in a serious fat loss mode.

The adage eat less, exercise more, can be countered to burning fat.

You may lose weight on the scale, but likely a good amount of that is muscle and remember, muscle uses fat for fuel.

The reason to reduce aggressive activity and it makes sense, is that the more you exercise, the more fuel you need, but on a weight loss program, calories are reduced, right? If you don't eat enough calories to satisfy your workout, the body will burn its muscle stores and preserve its fat stores.

Well, all this takes a lot of discipline and if you think you could use some great coaching support, along with lots more tools like these ones, give me a call right now, we'd love to help you get back into your preferred clothes size, have more energy, and better health for the new year.
