It takes a lot of time and work to burn fat, and it may be extremely daunting at times to design a plan, food prep, and calculate calories. People frequently abandon their efforts halfway through because they either set unreasonable goals or just lack motivation. People leave whatever they are doing in pursuit of their goal and revert to their prior habit, which was the same cause of the excess weight in the first place due to unrealistic promises and vague deadlines. With our 30-day fat loss challenge, we’ve made the process simple!
This 30-day fat loss challenge is precisely that. This program gives you immediate results and recognizes that anything you achieve in life is entirely up to you.
Tryour 4 Step Weight Loss Challenge for 30 days and transform your body for a lifetime. These steps areeasy to understand, free of charge and accessibleto all ages & fitness levels.
Step 1 – Water
1. Drink approximately 2liters, or 8 eight ounce glasses, of water each day. Feel free to add sliced fruit to your water for added flavor.
2.Flush The Fat Away Drinkrecipesare great alternativesto plain water. Since processed fruit drinks are high in sugar content, it’s recommended that this type of drinks be limited or avoided completely over the next 30 days. If you do choose to drink fruit-flavored drinks, read the ingredients label and avoid any beverages that containsugar or other added sweeteners.
3. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs and carries nutrients to your cells. Even mild dehydration can zap energy. Water is vital for optimal health!
Step 2 – Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners
1. Avoid all refined sugar and artificial sweeteners.
2. Readingredient labels on packaged foods to eliminate any foods thatcontain these. Almost all processed foods have some form of added sugar. This means that whole foods will be the biggest part of your diet over the next 30 days. To understand in full what is meant by no added sugar, read our 30-Day No Sugar Challenge.
3. Limit unrefined sweeteners to less than four teaspoons, per day. Read our list of 10 Alternatives to Refined Sugarwhich can count toward the 4 teaspoons. In addition to the 4 daily teaspoons of unrefined sweetener, stevia is also permitted duringthis weight loss challenge.
4. If there is a food product with an unrefined sugar in the ingredients label, i.e. honey, maple syrup, etc., there is no way to know how much has been added. Therefore, these food items should not be consumed during this weight loss challenge. The only way to know that you have had the allotted 4 teaspoons of unrefined sweetener in one day is to measure them yourself.
5. Review Other Names for Sugarwhich will help you to become betterinformed when reading ingredient labels.
Step 3 – Portion Control
1. All meals should be eaten on salad size plates instead of traditional dinner plates. These plates are approximately 7-inches in diameter.
2. When eating at a restaurant, ask that your meal be served on a salad plate.
3. When eating soups or stews, follow the 1 serving size, which is typically 1 to 1 1/2 cups.
4. Read the Skinny Plate Challenge for more information on portion sizes.
5. Portion sizes of foods must be no larger than the palm of your hand. That means that ‘normal’ restaurant portions have to be cut down in size in order to fit on your salad plate. (This is one of my best tips for losing weight.)
Step 4 – Exercise
1.Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes, six days per week.
2. Exercise can be broken into increments of 15 minute blocks or completed at one time.
3. Exercise can consist ofweight training or cardio, or a combination of the two.
4. Find workouts that are appropriate foryour fitness level, while still challenging yourself.
