Tip Of the Week!

Good day!

I want to give a few good tips each week to help you out in your weight loss journey! So without further ado….

Tip #1

Get Rid of Limiting Beliefs!

Well what’s a belief? A belief is nothing more then a thought that is repeated enough times in your head with enough emotional intensity, that it is accepted as the truth.

Limiting beliefs have power over you only because you treat them as the truth

Your beliefs control your actions. Let’s quickly look at some common limiting beliefs that people draw around “exercise”

1) I can never get myself up at 6am to workout
2) I can’t do it!
3) I am not disciplined enough!
4) I don’t want to look like that
5) It can never happen for me
6) I am not athletic enough
7) I am a woman, and I don’t want “muscles”
8 - I don’t want to be big.
9) I am a woman and women do not lift heavy weights
10) I just don’t think that’s possible to do

In these ten examples we see that those beliefs are really stopping us from achieving what we truly want!

ACTION PLAN

Take five minutes and write down your own 10 limiting beliefs that you have around exercise. Next, write down the opposite of that belief

Example:
1) I am not athletic enough to work out. (I do not need to be athletic to have a great body!)

YOU’RE TURN! Do it now!!

Tip #2 - Eat Every Three Hours!

As a culture we have been programmed to think that eating less will help us lose weight.
Many fad diets have taught us to reduce your calories that you eat in a day and you will lose weight! Heck, even Oprah preaches about this: “Eat less and Move more”

However our bodies are not designed like this. You see by decreasing the amount of food that you eat during the day; you actually decrease the metabolism in the body

There is a fancy word: “metabolism” what does that mean? Metabolism refers to all chemical reactions that happen in the body.

This could refer to hair growth, nail growth, skin regeneration, digestion, elimination, and a hundred million different other reactions including the process of “fat burning”

Our cells depend on us to give them the proper fuel to fulfill these chemical reactions. If for some reason the cells do not get the proper fuel they automatically slow down and stop doing there job properly.

The point is that you need to be fueling you body every three hours. This will keep your metabolic rate humming along, and it will also keep your blood sugar levels from crashing and you feeling miserable!

ACTION PLAN

Look at your daily schedule: Pencil in the times that you can have a quick snack. Ideally you would like to have the following:

6am – wake-up
7 am Breakfast
10 am Mid-Morning snack
12:30 lunch
3:00 pm Mid-afternoon snack
6:00 small dinner
9:00 small snack

Note: These meals are very small and are not the traditional three square meals a day! For further information please email myself directly.
