Most people know to lose weight we have to eat less and exercise more – but somehow something always seems to get in the way – LIFE! Here are a few questions for you to think about:
1. Do you experience frustration at seeing your weight go up and down on the scales?
a. yes
b. no
2. Are you a seasoned dieter who tries every diet available and yet you still don’t seem able to shift those extra pounds?
a. yes
b. no
3. Do your diet attempts leave you a diet hermit rather than living life to the full?
a. yes
b. no
4. Do you want a diet and fitness plan that fits in with your lifestyle – that lets you go out to dinner and socialize with friends, while still achieving your weight and fat loss goals?
a. yes
b. no
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions then Body Blitz is for you. The Body Blitz diet and fitness plan shows you the five steps you need take to lose weight and body fat – and keep it off for good!
WHAT IS THE BODY BLITZ PLAN?
Losing weight and body fat is a subject that provokes an array of discussions and fad slimming products and diets. Unfortunately, while some people may claim spectacular results with tablets, potions and ‘miracle’ foods, the real truth is that long-term weight management requires a little effort and know-how to be able to make it work for you not just for today, but for the future too.
The two keys to successful weight and body fat loss are simple – good nutrition and regular exercise. The challenge comes when we try to fit a healthy diet and exercise into our busy lives – maybe you’re running around after your kids all day, or working long hours, or simply leading a jam-packed social life and it feels as though you don’t even have time to think about eating well and exercising – let alone do it! This is where Body Blitz steps in. Body Blitz will help you design a diet and fitness plan that fits in with your life – just the way it is. This way you can make your own realistic goals, you don’t have to make any radical changes to your lifestyle and most importantly, you will achieve your weight and fat loss goals. Body Blitz is about being the best you can be whilst still living the life you wish to live.
HOW DOES BODY BLITZ WORK?
Body Blitz contains five steps to help you achieve your weight and body fat goals. The nutritional and exercise strategies contained in these steps have been tried and tested by my weight management clients over the last six years – they have worked for them and they will work for you. Each strategy plays a different role in helping you lose weight and body fat in different lifestyle situations. The five steps are:
1. USE THE STARCH CURFEW
By not eating certain carbohydrates after five p.m. you will lose weight and boost your energy levels. It is a strategy that allows you to cut your overall calorie intake and get the right balance of nutrients at the right time of the day. By eating starch with protein at lunchtime instead of in your evening meal, you will beat your mid-afternoon sugar cravings (the dieter’s downfall!) and fuel yourself with energy and brainpower for the rest of the day.
