Cross Country Bike Ride


Sunday afternoon, we decided to go for a carvery meal.  Now there are alot of calories in a carvery meal approximately 800 to be exact. However, in order to couteract the number of calories about to be eaten, we went on our bikes.  


The Carvery is about 2 miles away, so it was a lovely ride there as Sunday was lovely and warm, just a bit windy. 


The carvery meal itself was delicious and worth every bit of the 800 calories.  So on the way back home, I decided we should do a detour and go another way home. 


Turns out we got lost, and ended up doing a 7 mile round trip home!  

Calories lost = 728, so great news, lost nearly all the calories from the carvery meal!  

Result!


The great thing is that if you do decide to have a naughty meal, make sure you also have a way to get rid of the calories you are about to eat, this means exercising.  


Unfortunately, the only way to lose weight is to use up more calories than you eat!


We all know this, but why do we chose not to follow it. 


My challenge to you is to plan your activity each day that will lose you the same amount of calories that you will have eaten for the day!





 

To your dieting success!

Detox Preparation - Getting The Most Out Of Detoxing

Now is the time of year to start thinking about detoxing. All the rich creamy and fatty foods eaten during the festive season have left many of us feeling bloated and overweight.  To get your body prepared for the January weight loss we normally go through, it is best to start with a gentle detox first.

Benefits of Detoxing:
1. Cleanses the colon of fatty foods that have stuck to the insides
2. Gets rid of toxins within the body
3. Improves digestion within the gut
4. Energises the body leaving you feeling refreshed
5.Increases blood flow and absorbtion of nutrients into the body
6. Helps to keep you 'regular'.

There are many more benefits too numerous to mention, but above are some really beneficial ones.

So, what does detoxing involve:
Well, first of all the point of detoxing is to get rid of toxins inthe body, therefore in order to aid the expulsion of these toxins, we need to eat foods that do not take long to digest, and foods that the body can digest quicker and easier.  Therefore no process foods, red meats, cakes, biscuits or pastas,rice or takeaways, rich creamy sauces etc.

Cave Man Dieting Method - what to eat!
We are going to take it back to 'cave man diet'.  What is this you may ask, well its about eating fresh fruit, raw vegetables or lightly steamed vegetables, nuts and grains.  Back in the days of the cave man, it was a simple diet, and meat was rarely eaten, if they did, they had to hunt for possibly days to find the meat and this would have involved a chase so plenty of exercise!

By cleansing the body of complex processed foods can help to get your digestive system running at its optimum best. Think of your body as a Ferrari, it needs the highest grade fuel in order for it to run at its optimum best, if you but diesel oil into a Ferrari, it will run sluggishly and slow and possibly blow up the engine!  So, having fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and nuts are the high grade fuel our body needs to run at its optimised best.  However, the way in which are foods are grown today do not give us as much vitamins and nutrients as they did say 20 or 30 years ago.  Food is grown amongst pesticides, chemicals and pollution,along with the fact that they are then 'processed' in some what to preserve their longevity in the stores from the place where they are harvested.  That is why it is important that we also supplement our diet with vitamins.

I will go into supplementation in another blog post, but for now the main vitamins we will need for our detox is as follows:
Aloe Vera Drink- this is good for cleansing and aiding digestion inthe gut
Flora Fibre - this contains good bacteria that the gut needs, because when we detox good and bad bacteria can be depleted from the body.
Fibre & Herbs - Fibre & Herb is high in soluble fibre which helps to optimise your digestive health by supporting the body’s natural elimination of waste and toxins.

All of the above vitamins can be purchased from my Herbalife shop http://healthyweightloss.herbalcoach.com and if you purchase through my shop you will get a 10% discount applicable for members who sign up for our 10 day detox programme today.

The Party Season Has Begun

 It is now D Day minus 5 to go to the big Xmas Festivities.  This is the time of year when you want to look hot for the office party.  But, did you prepare for this?  So often than not we intend to but some of us cant seem to get over the temptation of snacks, buffets and extra Christmas foods during the weeks running up to Christmas.

Over the last 6 weeks I had been running a detox and weight loss challenge which has been very successful. Over 120pounds have been lost by a group of ladies and gentlemen who wanted to get in shape before Christmas.

Now what can you achieve in the next 5 days? Not very much I am afraid, unless your going to run a half marathon and burn up more than 5000calories for the day...
No,I didn't think any of you would go that far.  So for now, reduce your carbs in the evening time, no bread, cakes or anything with flour. Only have 1 meal a day and replace the other two meals with a shake supplement. 

Dr David Heber has a great book out which looks at a 14 day total weight loss plan using Herbalife Products and low GI foods.  Check this out now and don't forget to order your products using the link below. All orders complete before the 31st December will get a 10% discount as well as two free consultation sessions with me to put together your personalised plan.
