Right well I went to bed at 8pm, had a long day today so thought i was tired, but alas, all this extra energy i find i now have, plus the lack of night time fluids ie a nice cold beer, Im still awake, and because my other half sleeps early and up even earlier, well long story short there is no point me staying in bed.. hehe
Okay Ive had some pretty shitty things happen to me in my life, met some pretty shitty people who have said some pretty shitty things to me and made me feel,... well, you know, shitty! I mean where did that fun loving confident girl Moe go??
Lets find her...
So first you should know some facts about weight loss. (if you didnt already know)
*wherever you put weight on first, is the last place you will lose it
*walking is the best exercise if you want to lose weight, because it is sustainable long term. FYI walking also promotes the development of mitochondria, your body's fat burning furnaces
*sleep plays an important role in weight loss and maintenance, lack of sleep boosts the concentration of a hormone that increases hunger, therefore you are more likely to eat and the quality of what you eat is more likely to be high in sugar and high in carbohydrates
*Caffine has actually been shown to increase lipolysis (the use of fat stores for energy) it stimulates your metabolism and is a appetite suppressant (ps dont drink too much, no more than 5 cups a day, unless you want to spend more time than not on the toilet)
are you bored of the facts yet?
Your metabolic rate is without question the most important factor in weight loss and should be the number 1 priority in any weight loss system, and, if you are like me when i had kids, i lost my metabolism (along with my dignity and privacy) i mean do you remember the days when you could just eat whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted and NEVER did you put on an inch of fat?
Eating every 2-3 waking hours is the most powerful weapon you have when it comes to weight loss and ramping up your metabolism. This equates to 6 servings a day and ensures that your body will never go into starvation mode.
Our bodies are designed to store fat for survival. At any given moment the body is looking for a reason to store fat for a coming famine. YOUR job is not to give it a reason too... Simple huh?
the solution = small meals every 2-3 hours!
the 3 hour rule : eat at least every 3 hours and up to every hour (shit youll never go hungry again)
oh and you better drink 2-3 litres of water a day.. just to help with the bladder problems that seem to be just waiting for me around that big 3 0 corner
For a weight loss program to be effective it MUST do 2 things
1 you must see fast results
2 it must be sustainable long term
I was going to write more about carb detox but im sorry guys i will leave that until tomorrow because its a WHOLE lot of typing for me to do!!!
To motivate you more to want to do this ill let you in on some weights and goals of mine
Ive been about 69kg for about 6 years now. I am 167cm tall! my BMI for this is in the healthy range (only just) and that wasnt really my cup of tea.
When I started the system my weight was up to 71kg, now this takes me into the overweight range, I tell you -I threw my book down when it told me that I was overweight! stupid friggen book, what would you know!
I myself am now into day 6 (sounds all spoofy aye, shouldve just said doing this diet for 6 days) and today I weighed in at 67kg! I am yet to take measurements to see if they have changed!
oh and I asked my other half tonight (all excitedly about how much id lost) how much HE thought i had lost... and he informs me that i have lost 4.5kg! How did he know that? I guess he does lift me up every now and then.. Or did he somehow in the course of 1 day learn to read minds? Or telepathically go through my cellphone to see what I had text a few people today? I never thought it was noticeable,.. Those scales wouldnt lie to me... would they?!!?!?!?!?
