Seven Ways to Love Shedding Pounds (yes, I did just say “love”)
1.Make sure to indulge in decadent rich chocolate. Our THM Skinny Chocolate on page 371 is a bloated fat cell assassin and metabolism revver!!!!!
2.Enjoy real cream in your coffee or chai tea and give yourself some BUTTTAAAHHH today. While enjoying a THM S meal, healthy real food fats like these help slide your body into fat burning mode. Use fat for fuel and your own adipose fat tissue will be served up for dinner!
3.Don't go hungry! Enjoy life and eat a protein centered snack like our Fat stripping Frappa (page 241) or choose another yummy mid-morning or midafternoon snack from our huge list from pages 407-409.
Note - If it hasn’t been two and a half to three hours after a meal and you think you are hungry - always test for your true hunger levels by drinking a refreshing glass of water or guzzle some "Good Girl Moonshine". Sometimes our bodies can signal a false sense of the munchies when we are not hydrated properly or when we are tired. A revitalizing liquid litmus test will re-set your bodies true cues and if you are still super hungry afterward, then you are cleared for a yummy snack.
4.Don't deny yourself God given food groups. Make sure to change your body’s fuel burning source to glucose by switching up to a THM E meal. Eat these healthy carbs at the very least 3-4 times a week, preferably more than that. Or go by how you feel and if you need energy lift – think E and celebrate carbohydrates the tummy trimming way.
Switching your bodies metabolic fuel sources in what we call “freestyling” will throw off your body’s ability to adapt. You will literally scotch the fat off your bum bum by making your metabolism do the rumba...a dietary shimmy from fuel to fuel!
5.If you do not get perfectly satiated during dinner tonight then by all means eat cake!! Choose one of our THM tweaked mouthwatering desserts and melt the pounds away with your "melt in the mouth" moments. Change up between fuel pull and S and E desserts, heavy cream is on plan but don’t guzzle it after every S meal.
6.Stop your long drawn out exercise! Short bursts of movement that leave you breathless and make you want a little rest to gasp for air are profoundly productive. Just give me 10 minutes of intense interval training then you can call it quits and allow your body to obliterate excess fat.
With that said I want you to realize that I am not sanctioning any pregnant or postpartum Mama to exert herself in this intense training method. I have covered pregnancy exercise issues in our THM book but I need to reiterate that in no way is the postpartum period a time for intensity. It is a time for zipping up your abdominals by strengthening your girdle muscle called the Transverse Abdominus. Gentle exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles and the Transverse are the focus of this season. In proverbs 31 it says "…she girdeth her loins with strength". Of course that has a spiritual application but we should take the physical too. Let your body heal and strengthen your deepest layers first before any other fitness aspiration. Our Trim Healthy Mama Workin DVD will be coming soon (before the end of the year) and focuses on safe female fitness.
7.If you are hungry before bed and you can't sleep without the comfort of a snack reach for our "slick tricks" that are made with the help of our friend "glucci". Any of these snacks like the THM puddings or nighty night custards, or even a small serving of a Fuel Pull version of Tummy Tucking Ice Cream (page 369), are fabulous night caps.
If you are a pregnant or a nursing Mama make sure there is some protein in your before bed snack. A small cup of stevia sweetened Greek yogurt with berries or our Cottage Berry Whip recipe (page 379) are good sweet ideas. Or go simpler and have a hardboiled egg or even a little egg white scramble with some Parmesan cheese and a little nutritional yeast - its delish!
Protein before bed stabilizes your blood sugar and makes sure you will not fall into a catabolic state during the nighttime fast. This is especially important for Mamas who nurse a lot through the night. A little protein snack before retiring will also help your body pulse its human growth hormone which aids in fat loss and keeps you feeling youthful and in your prime.
Seven tips – all done. Let the extra weight slip away while exuberantly celebrating the gift of each day. True Health is never achieved in misery. Learn The THM tools of understanding the way your body works. Let truth set you free. Crack a big smile and let happiness spread its wings. Take to the hopeful sky of "feelin good" fat loss.
Love Serene, your THM sis
