8 pounds and 5 inches

In Health and Fitness on June 24, 2009 at 1:18 pm

8 pounds and 5 inches….

One of my clients just lost 8 pounds of fat and 5 inches off her waistline!

Well, it didn’t “just happen”

She’s been working on it for a while now….

How long has she been working on it?

How long do you think it should take?

How long should you have to work to lose 8 pounds of fat and 5 inches off your waistline?

8 pounds of fat contains 28,000 calories….whoa! ~ 28,000!

“How long does it take to burn 28,000 calories anyway? Yeesh! She must have been a marathon runner!”

Nope…

She works in an office environment…she’s a busy lady, no doubt. But I know for a fact that she’s no marathon runner….not even close!

So what did she do to burn off 28,000 calories of fat from her body and drop 5 pant sizes?

Not much really….

She tried to keep up with her grandchildren.
She worked very hard at her job.
She tried to walk and take the stairs as much as possible and just generally move her body as much as she could –whenever she could.

But she didn’t do anything all that strenuous or extreme.

She did greatly improve her nutrition…..she did do that.

But she didn’t starve herself –no way. Not with me she didn’t.
I don’t advocate “hungry” –we don’t do “hungry” –no need for it.

She ate all the lean meat, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables she cared to eat.
She drank at least 8-10 eight ounce glasses of fresh, clean water every day.
She made a point to eat full, protein-based breakfast every day…(no excuses!)
And she stopped eating at least three hours before bed (this was the hard part –but she worked at it and she was successful)

That’s all she did to burn 28,000 calories of fat (8lbs) and drop 5 pant sizes…..

And she did all that in just one month….One Month!

Does losing 8 pounds of fat and dropping 5 pant sizes in one month sound like slow progress to you?

Not to me it doesn’t!
That’s the kind of progress I like to see!
A person could safely and effectively lose 96 pounds of fat in one year with that kind of slow and steady progress….that’s good stuff!

So….how long does it take to lose the fat you want to lose?

Not as long as you think.

It may seem like it’s taking f o r e v e r while it’s happening….but keep working ….it’s happening!

Won’t it feel great to reach your goal?

It does!

It will!…..keep working

It’s happening!

To your good health,

Here’s Another Tip:

Add strength training to your weekly routine and watch your health and fitness improve dramatically!

Don’t have a gym membership?

You don’t need one!!

Home exercise has been shown to be far more fun and effective.

For less than $50 -you can perform all the strength training exercises you would have access to in an expensive health club
~only you’re working out in the privacy of your own home!

In a rut? -Stressed out? -Let’s Make a Change!

Have your weight loss or fitness goals reached a plateau?

Are you feeling stressed lately or unusually overwhelmed?

Having headaches, backaches, stomach aches or difficulty being ‘regular’ and going to the bathroom?

Maybe you just have some weird aches and pains…

“no big deal,” you think.

Perhaps it’s not a ‘big deal’ –but then again….what if it is?  What if it becomes a ‘Big Deal’?

Let’s make a change and try something new…

Not sure what to try?

Try this….

For one week, beginning THIS SUNDAY….

Eat only raw foods!

Okay, not raw meat silly –you can still cook your eggs, meat, poultry and seafood….

But I want you to focus on eating more raw fruits and vegetables –and much, much more of them too!

Go raid the produce section of your local grocer and stock up on all the fresh fruits and vegetables you can!

Then, beginning this Sunday….strip it all down and eat as much and as many raw fruits and vegetables as your appetite will allow.

No Limits!

No sauces, dips or spreads allowed however.

To really make this effective….

During the week, pack yourself a new and different nutritious and delicious lunch each and every day of the week

–but no eating out**!

**Did you know?

In a recent study by the University of Memphis, researchers found that people who eat out an average of three times a week or more are twice as likely to be obese, have high blood pressure and are at an increased risk for both heart attack and stroke.

Restaurant diners consume 300+ more calories per day on average –than people who dine out less frequently.

So eat smart!

Eat healthy!

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables!

The added vitamins, minerals, fiber and stress-fighting antioxidants all those delicious, raw, fresh fruits and vegetables provide, will make you feel better and better as the week progresses. I promise.

Heck, I guarantee it!

If after one week of increasing your fresh, raw fruit and vegetable intake –you do not feel noticeably better, healthier more relieved, stress-free and more ‘regular’ …..

I will refund 150% of your former misery.

That’s 50% more misery for your troubles!

You just can’t beat that offer!!

Okay, the last part was a joke…

But seriously….the stress and fatigue our busy lifestyles produce….compound and attack our immune systems.

The very best way to fight this stress and relieve this fatigue is with improved sleep (another article altogether) and increased antioxidant intake. The best place to get these essential antioxidants is from delicious, raw, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Do yourself a favor and make a change!

Help your body feel better and perform better.  Renew your immune system and renew your health!

How can I help?

Remember, I am here to serve you.

To your good health!
