Three Fave Ways to Lose T-Day Weight & Look Your Best for Holiday Party Season

I have a lot of weight loss recos. These are a few of the newer ones mixed with some of my time-tested advice. 

1.  TRY GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT

There’s been a lot of well-deserved buzz about this new weight loss supplement. After doing some research and seeing the results of Dr. Oz’s experiment, I decided to give it a try. I lost a surprising 2% body fat in 5 days. Other people have reported weight loss of up to several pounds in the first couple weeks. I believe this supplement works and recco you give it a try. This supplement is NOT for children, anyone who pregnant or nursing, is allergic to coffee or caffeine and or has any major medical problems including diabetes or a history of heart attack or stroke. Results vary so keep that and these other key points in mind:

• Quality and content matters. You need to get Pure Coffee Bean Extract no fillers or additives. Experts say the it must contain 45% chlorogenic acid extract, which can be listed as GCA (green coffee antioxidant) OR SVETOL.   I recco Future Biotics brand.*

• How much and when you take it is key. Dr. Oz’s recco. is one 400mg capsule three times a day – 30 minutes before each meal

• To have the healthiest, most effective weight loss you still need to eat right and exercise!

• Stay hydrated. In the first couple days I was taking the supplement I noticed I got dehydrated. Drink one, six ounce glass of water every hour you’re awake up until 8PM. Add a glass for every caffeinated drink or hour of exercise/sauna.

2.  DO A MINI CLEANSE

1. Eliminate the following from your diet for 10 days: flour, sugar, dairy, all processed and fried foods. Have a protein shake for breakfast. My clients and I use Biogenesis Whey Protein.* Both chocolate and vanilla taste great. Eat only whole foods: lean proteins, green veggies, avoid beans and grains.
2. Drink 2 green juices daily. 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. Can’t get or make juices? Try my new fave alternative and detox tool: Chlorella tablets* Take 3-8 up to 3x per day on an empty stomach, 30minutes before meals.
3. Go to bed by 11PM or earlier. Take a high quality melatonin* 30 minutes to one hour before you want to go to sleep if you have trouble going to or staying asleep. Many people I know are sleep deprived. And unfortunately you can’t “catch up” over the weekend. So make your best effort to get to bed by 10PM. Those two hours before midnight are valuable. A more rested body will keep your unhealthy food cravings at bay

3.  TURN YOUR IPHONE/IPAD INTO A PERSONAL TRAINER-TRY AN EXERCISE APP

Getting your exercise in around the holidays is not easy. If you cannot get to the gym or your fave fitness class try this user friendly iPhone Gorilla Workout app.

With 3 different levels it provides short, equipment- free, easy to follow workouts that will get your heart rate up and keep your waistline down. And it’s only 1.99 If you have time, combine one of these workouts with only 30 minutes of interval training: elliptical, jog, stationary bike. If you have the money and more time, get the P90X App. It is in a class of its own.
