Here’s a few typical yet misleading weight-loss headlines that pop into my Inbox regularly:
- Lie #1: “Walk off your Belly by August 2!” – Prevention magazine
- Lie #2: “To maintain a healthy weight, get more exercise and worry less about cutting calories” – Coca-Cola, cited in the NY Times
- Lie #3: “Nothing is off limits, as long as it fits within your daily target” (daily target = starving yourself to death eating tiny portions and counting points) – Weight Watchers
The grisly reality is, people do believe that doing crunches or working on an ‘ab-flex machine’ is the fastest way to lose weight. They think that cutting their calories and feeling “hangry” (e.g. so hungry they’re angry), cranky and irritated is the only way to lose that muffin top. That’s exactly why we see SO many women following fad diets and working their asses off on the treadmill and elliptical in the gym DAY AFTER DAY. Even if they don’t have the time, energy or fitness level to do that.
And what happens next?
They keep working up a sweat, sacrificing their time, energy and other commitments…only to end up stepping on the scales and realizing they haven’t shed more than few ounces in MONTHS.
All their efforts, hopes, and dreams seem to be evaporating in the air…and they’re left with nothing but ultimate disappointment. When they look in the mirror, it further reminds them of all what they did and how they couldn’t get any results, so they feel like a FAILURE.
Can you relate?
Looking into the mirror: What are you like?
Happy with what you see? Or secretly craving to shed those extra pounds off and look damn hot in your denim jeans?
If you said YES to the latter, then what are you doing to change your reality? When did it become OKAY to not be happy with yourself? Why shouldn’t you have what you want out of life?
Are you letting the chorus of sad voices in your head heckle your desires? Picking apart your dreams of looking sexy…and telling you all the reasons that you SHOULD look better but you can’t?
Or maybe you’re making this #1 weight-loss mistake?
Following the “No Pain, No Gain” strategy and thinking you need to work out hours a day in the hope of finally seeing some results…
Most of the time, you can’t even imagine going to the gym or creating an exercise ritual, because…well frankly you don’t have time. You’re a busy working woman, already putting your nose to the grindstone to make things work in life & business.
So what do you do instead? What are the other options to lose weight without losing your sanity?
Well, let me tell you something!
YES! It all starts (and ends) with food. It’s as simple as that!
Research states that eating to lose weight is far more important than exercising and it’s been proven that diet matters to weight-loss more than exercise.
“In the last 30 years, exercise has stayed about the same, while overweight and obesity have skyrocketed. So something else must be at play – like the type of food we’re eating.”
These aren’t some half-truths declared by self-proclaimed “gurus” or “experts”, these are clear and definitive facts put together after decades of research.
So when it comes down to losing weight, the “magical” pill you’ve been looking for is certainly not magical and is fairly simple.
WEIGHT-LOSS TRUTH: Eating MORE of the right FOODS will rapidly drop your weight – and it’s the easiest way for it to STAY OFF.
Can you believe that it took me less than 9 months to lose 40 POUNDS? All while eating extremely delicious and energy-dense foods.
Check out my quick 2-minute video about how I lost an incredible amount of weight after a lifetime of struggle – and how my life changed when I lost it.
After trying various exercise plans, fad diets, and ‘Get your skinny up’ challenges, I finally discovered that FOOD was so much more powerful to rapidly drop my weight and KEEP it off.
A vast majority of us think we can lose weight by sweating MORE on the elliptical – when it hasn’t ever really worked for us in the past. Have you told yourself that you’re not losing weight because you’re not sweating HARD ENOUGH or aren’t CONSISTENT ENOUGH – and you just have to try harder?
Do you think that you should get up at 5am and make it to the gym before a packed day of work, daily routines and also family time if you’re a mom?
“I try so hard to get up, but I keep snoozing my alarm! I have to TRY HARDER! Why am I so lazy????”
If it sounds like you, then here’s the thing. You can’t blame yourself for wanting to sleep a little longer. No, you just cannot. You have a lot going on! You’re a busy woman with lots on your plate! So, stuffing another “to-do” in your list just isn’t realistic.
The grave injustice you’re doing to your body and yourself is by focusing on the wrong thing to lose weight.
Yup! Exercise is important – but it’s not the main driver to lose weight.
FOOD IS.
“Food is 80% of weight-loss. Exercising is only 20%.”
Once you eat the foods that nourish & nurture your body, your weight falls off in a FRACTION of the time it takes to go to the gym to lose it.
It literally took me 1 HOUR PER WEEK to make my easy weight-loss recipes with the fat-burning spices and I lost 40 pounds from it.
Compare this 1 HOUR A WEEK TO MAKE THE RIGHT MEALS to 1.5 HOURS (MINIMUM) EVERY SINGLE GYM TRIP MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK (each trip to the gym includes changing into workout clothes, traveling to the gym, working out, and then showering and changing after).
Now, I can wear clothes that I once dreamed of, have off-the-charts energy to spend with my kids and my husband can’t stop staring at me & admiring me.
If you want to get rid of your wobbly arms, fat on your belly, and get your sexy back, keep your eyes peeled for my next email.
