Getting Back On Track With Your Weight Loss



When it comes to weight loss, "tomorrow" is the most dangerous word in the English language. If you're serious about losing weight, and not seeing the results you'd like, it's time to stop living the way you've been living. The price you pay is very high for the cheap thrill that food gives you. In the end, it might even cost you your health. How you're living today directly affects your tomorrow. So, what will you do differently?

I receive emails seeking advice, all too often, from people with a habit of doing a week or two of strict, metabolic boosting eating and then falling off the weight loss wagon into a pile of cookies or store-bought protein bars. They want to know what they can do to stick to the plan, or should they even try. The first thing I tell them is the reason most people fall is that they think they need to be perfect with their eating. It's important to understand that perfection does not exist. 

Most of us fall because we become too legalistic about our diets. Rather, our diets should be treated as a habit of making better choices, requiring us to decide what our actions will be. This makes us responsible for our actions, and the outcomes.

You know the old saying; "If you keep doing what you've always done you'll just keep getting the same results. To expect anything different is the very definition of insanity." Quite honestly, there is a lot of insanity surrounding the foods that will keep you from reaching your goals. 

Have you ever told yourself; "I'll just have a little"? Sorry to say it, but that little bit is what's stopping you from reaching your goals. 

It's at these very times to remind yourself that perfection does not exist. Focus on daily progress, not daily perfection. You have more control than you think when it comes to making food choices. But if you keep falling off the wagon, it's possible you may need a few tools to help keep you on track.

These tools make losing weight faster and easier because they:

    • Help kill hunger and cravings that cause you to fall off-plan
    • Boost metabolism by 25 percent, so you burn more calories all day long, even while asleep. This is especially important when you decide to go off-plan because it will help keep you from gaining weight.
    • Block cortisol (stress hormones) levels from rising, which helps prevent weight gain in the belly, hips, and thighs. Blocking cortisol is more important than you think. Stress causes your body to produce excess cortisol levels, and the only way to melt belly fat is by reducing these levels. It's not an easy job and the very reason you need to attack belly fat with a 1, 2, 3 punch.

STEP #1: BOOST METABOLISM AND BLOCK CORTISOL LEVELS

Drink a LynFit Complete Protein Shake 12 hours after your last meal. Do not add fruit or any type of milk if you're trying to lose a pound a day. Remember, it's all about replacements and better choices, so swap out your high-sugar juice or yogurt for this instead. 

Looking for a delicious shake recipe that will not only tantalize your taste buds but rev up your metabolism as well? Look no further — here's my Melt Belly Fat Birthday Cake Smoothie:

(3 scoops) LynFit Vanilla Complete Whey Protein Powder
(½ cup) Water
(3–4) Ice cubes

Throw it all in the blender and mix until smooth and then drink yourself thin. The extra protein used will help keep you feeling fuller longer and won't spike blood sugar levels the way fruit and milk will.

STEP #2: KILL HUNGER AND CRAVINGS

Belly fat makes you hungrier, so the faster you lose it; the faster you'll be able to lose overall weight. You need to flip the hunger switch off and trick your body into acting like a thin person by teaching and encouraging it to burn fat for fuel instead of overwhelming you with hunger pangs. 

This is where the smart use of safe supplements comes in. If you don't struggle with hunger and cravings, you may not need supplements. But if you've been trying to lose weight, and no matter what you do you can't seem to stay on track because of hunger pangs and cravings, then you may need a little outside help.

Taking a supplement stack is the best way to keep your metabolism from slowing down while killing cravings and hunger pangs. This makes it easier to stay on track with your weight loss. The secret is they balance blood sugar levels while providing natural energy. 

This particular stack teaches your body how to burn fat as fuel when it needs energy vs. sending you hunger signals. Your metabolism will become a high-efficiency fat burning machine. Trust me, if you skip them, you'll see and feel the difference. 

The best time to take this stack is three hours after your last meal, when your body starts yelling, "I'm hungry!"

Sip green tea instead of indulging yourself in your usual snack and take your supplements to balance blood sugar levels instead. 

One note — This step is not good for people with less than 10 percent body fat because they will burn muscle for fuel instead of fat. But if you have body fat to lose you have energy stored that can be used instead.

Here is your supplement stack:
  • LynFit Accelerator with Raspberry Ketones to accelerate the process and trick your body into acting like a thin person. A lean person will burn fat more efficiently. (If you're highly sensitive to caffeine you may want to skip the Accelerator. The stack will still give you what you need, so follow the steps without Accelerator.)
  • LynFit Carb Edge with Forskolin to help enhance thyroid function and balance blood sugar levels, which is the secret to killing your cravings and managing hunger.
  • LynFit Cutting Edge to force your body to burn off that stubborn body fat for fuel.

    STEP #3: AVOID THE AFTERNOON ENERGY CRASH TO ESCAPE CRAVINGS BEFORE THEY BEGIN

    This step is critical because it will not only boost your metabolism, it will also help fight off those emotional cravings that we all battle in the afternoon when we start to get tired and our blood sugar levels begin to rise.

    This is actually where most people fall off the weight loss wagon. But, it's also where your weight loss battle can be won. I call this the "Emo Meal" — meaning emotional, when you're hungry, tired, and craving food.

    PREVENTION is the cure, so grab a LynFit Lean Bar to defeat the afternoon energy crash.

    The LynFit Lean Bar has 10 grams of prebiotic fiber and 15 grams of protein to kill cravings before they begin while helping to keep you feeling full. LynFit Lean Bars are guaranteed to be the best tasting protein bar you've ever tried and #1 in its class when it comes to weight loss and melting belly fat. Try one; you'll see.

    Most store-bought bars are full of sugar and don't supply your body with the right type or amount of protein. They spike blood sugar levels and prevent you from losing weight, despite what their labels may claim.

    Make LynFit Lean Bars your go-to comfort food from now on when trying to lose weight. Comfort in knowing you're making a smart, nutrient-dense food choice that doesn't sacrifice delicious taste and texture.  LynFit Lean Bars are the best of both worlds — they don't leave you with any guilt, only satisfaction that you'll begin to crave. You can eat your new comfort meal food with pride and get on with your day.

    This will be especially important if you're an emotional eater. Choosing the wrong kinds of snack foods can increase hunger and cravings and turn the weight gain switch on. Swap out those store-bought protein bars with a LynFit Lean Bar instead.

    Should you find yourself unable to suppress the urge to eat junk food, adopt the 80/20 rule. You're already following it; you just don't know it. 

    For the most part, you're eating your favorite foods every couple of weeks — it's inevitable. It's going to happen, and you should expect it. So, the best solution is to plan it ahead of time. If you plan for it ahead of time, you can cheat and still lose weight. Have a little pep talk with yourself. Sit down and tell yourself to try the 80/20 plan. 

    On the Advanced Metabolic Boosting Meal Plan, you can eat on plan 80 percent of the time and go off the plan 20 percent of the time and still lose weight. That's the beauty of this plan. In fact, this is the only plan that takes into consideration that you live in the real world, you're human, and that you cheat once in a while.

    Planning in advance when you cheat also puts you in control of the binge vs. the binge controlling you. It also changes how you emotionally respond to a binge—no guilt, because it's all a part of your weight loss plan. You'll accept the situation, not struggle in vain against it. You'll eat less and know exactly what to eat, and how much. The scale will go up slightly, but you'll be back on track in no time. 

    Although there are physiological consequences to binging on junk food, I'd wager that most of the damage comes from the stress we inflict on ourselves—the internal fight and refusal, which only causes us to binge more. The refusal to accept the inevitable situation, combined with the guilt and shame you're piling on yourself for losing that fight.

    Here's what the 80/20 plan get you: Acceptance! You learn to accept things you cannot change. You're no longer fighting a battle you most likely cannot win. 

    I can't think of anything harder or more stressful than struggling with food. I've struggled with it my entire life until I learned about the 80/20 rule. 

    You can live guilt-free. Guilt about eating junk food can actually cause you to gain weight and depress your immune system. By making a plan to "go off" for a meal as an occasional (1–2 times weekly) deviation from your regular schedule, rather than betraying your body, you remove the guilt. Make a plan, if you plan on losing.

    I would encourage you to read this article I wrote previously about how to cheat and still lose weight to keep your metabolism in full swing, and how if you don't, it can alter the physiological effect it has on you. 

    As Kelly Clarkson says in her song: "Think Before You Cheat" so you don't hurt your health or destroy a month's worth of dieting. Most of the time it's not worth it anyway. 

    So, eat happily, just don't' forget to boost first! 

    Teach Your Body To Burn More Calories All Day Long

    LynFit Fat Burning ComboRight now your metabolism is busy, working to burn calories and melt fat. Every time you eat, enzymes in your body's cells break down the food and turn it into energy that keeps your heart beating, your mind functioning, and your legs walking. It's the sum of everything your body does. Your metabolism is busier than you might imagine.

    The process is quite simple; the faster your metabolism, the more calories your body burns doing everyday functions. The more calories you burn, the easier it is to lose weight. The good news is you can increase your metabolism, so it works harder all day, helping you lose weight faster and easier. You really can teach your body how to burn more calories all day long.

    For most of us, our metabolisms hum along at a preset rate /speed determined by age, gender, and genetics. The bad news is, if your over 35, have been overweight or have done your share of diet research (tried many diets), what you might not know could stop you from losing weight and severely affect your body’s ability to burn off excess fat now stored on your belly, hips, and thighs.

    The good news is you have a huge amount of control over your metabolic rate—more than you think. Making a few simple changes to your daily routine can boost your metabolism, turning that slow metabolism into overdrive, so you not only lose weight faster and easier, but your body also begins to melt fat.

    It can be as easy as eating the right foods vs. the wrong ones. The real secret sauce for building a red hot, sizzling metabolism is to start your day with whey protein. Whey protein not only builds your metabolism, but it also boosts it by 25 percent as well. Be aware; vegan and dairy proteins won't do. It must be high-quality whey protein. 

    Where can you find this high-quality whey protein? You can find it in both LynFit Complete Protein and LynFit Lean Bars. LynFit whey has the highest PER (Protein Efficiency Rating) due to it containing the amino acid, leucine. LynFit whey is fast-acting and preserves muscle tissue so you won't muscle waste, which slows metabolism. That's why drinking high-quality whey is called "building the metabolism."

    Now that you've got your metabolism built up and revving at a high rate, there are still additional issues to overcome to keep the fat burning at full throttle.

    If you have excess fat stored around your belly, hips, and thighs, you have enough evidence to point to your blood sugar levels being out of whack, making supplement usage a must if you're serious about melting off that fat and getting lean. 

    First things first: To get your body to burn fat you need to lower those blood sugar levels. In order to lower blood sugar levels, you need to be eating clean. This is where an effective supplement stack that attacks fat from every angle, starting with appetite suppression and reducing cravings is imperative.

    Supplement stacking has been used for decades and is the most efficient way to reach your weight loss and fitness goals, especially when it comes to leaning out and reshaping your body. This technique is highly effective with even the leanest athletes, so, as you can imagine, it's even more effective with people like me and you, because we have more fat to lose. But again, always remember—nothing works better than eating a clean, metabolic boosting diet (more information about thermogenic eating can be found in The Metabolism Solution).

    The goal is to teach your body to burn more calories all day long, even when at rest. However, this is almost impossible to do if you're eating excess fat and carbs (refer to The Metabolism Solution for how much fat you should be consuming daily). While you may only care about the end result, it's important that you understand how supplement stacking works. Today, we're going to examine supplement stacking with LynFit Carb Edge and LynFit Accelerator.

    LYNFIT CARB EDGE

    After getting your metabolism boosted, the next step is to lower your blood sugar levels while boosting thyroid production, which tends to slow when you decrease caloric intake. Slowing your thyroid production is exactly what you DON'T want to happen when you're trying to burn off excess fat. 

    It's natural for thyroid production to slow down as you age and reduce caloric intake, so stimulating it is essential.
    NOTE: This is especially critical if you suffer from hypothyroidism. Not to worry if you're currently taking medication for hypothyroidism—in fact, you need it, as thyroid medication doesn't cure the issue; it only treats the symptoms. That's why you didn't lose weight when you began taking it. And that's why this program is designed for you.

    The ingredients that work best for thyroid support are Coleus Forskohlii and Guggul extract, both of which are found in LynFit Carb Edge, in the exact amounts your body needs.

    LynFit Carb Edge is the best multi-stacker because it helps you manage carbs by killing your cravings for them and blocking them when you do eat them, so you absorb less of them. Even if you're not eating a lot of carbs, it's still important to take LynFit Carb Edge to help balance blood sugar levels and reduce insulin spikes that can occur even when eating healthy foods. White kidney bean extract is wonderful for controlling insulin spikes, and LynFit Carb Edge contains it. 

    Taking LynFit Carb Edge is the equivalent of taking over 15 of the best fat-burning supplements, all wrapped into one. While this does save you money, more importantly, LynFit Carb Edge is properly blended using the highest quality ingredients, so you'll see and feel results fast.

    Every time you take LynFit Carb Edge you get the exact amount of each nutrient, custom-blended for maximum results, saving you time and money. You won't need those other expensive extras that you never take.

    THE "B-LEAN TEAM": Your body's need for B vitamins is increased when you're dieting or stressed. The combined action of these B vitamins can be energized quickly and help promote weight loss. They help the body properly metabolize and process foods you eat — B1, B2, B5, B6, and B12. 

    Niacin, also part of the B Lean Team, also known as B3, has special properties when it comes to fat loss. Niacin helps to release stored toxins stored in fat cells, helping with the detox process and easing cravings when trying to kick bad eating habits.
    NOTE: Niacin can make you feel flushed, especially when you first begin taking it. Not to worry—it will pass quickly. The flush is attributable to the niacin working its way through the bloodstream, cleansing it, removing toxins.

    Chromium is a mineral that helps move carbohydrates into cells to be used for energy vs. being stored for fat. Chromium also helps balance blood sugar levels to help avoid low energy dips, helping to ease cravings and decrease hunger.

    Potassium is a mineral essential for good health and can assist with weight loss. Potassium can improve blood pressure, fatigue, stress, headaches, and glucose transfer, which affect weight. It also helps to maintain proper electrolyte balance in cells.

    White kidney bean extract blocks unwanted carbs from being absorbed (great for cheat meal days — you should take it right before your cheat meal, so you don't destroy your diet) and help balance blood sugar levels that being overweight can knock out of whack. It also helps to kill cravings and reduce hunger.

    Forskohlii helps heat up the area where fat is being stored while encouraging fat loss in troubling areas. It helps to keep your thyroid function at full capacity, so your metabolism doesn't slow down, even with a reduction in caloric intake. Can you say, "busting through plateaus?"

    Guggul extract has too many good things to list, but the main reason it's in LynFit Carb Edge is due to it stimulating thyroid function, so your body burns more fat, even at rest. Guggul also helps lower cholesterol and triglycerides.

    Banaba leaf is great for diabetics because it helps reduce and balance blood sugar levels, effectively reducing hunger and cravings while enhancing your metabolism and melting belly fat. Studies have shown that Banaba leaf can help lower blood sugar levels within 60 minutes of taking it.

    Black tea is better than green tea when it comes to reducing appetite and boosting weight loss. In European studies, black tea has been shown to reduce the urge to binge, making it the perfect team player when it comes fat burning.

    Suma root is an adaptogen that improves cellular health, increasing the body's ability to adapt to metabolic stress and response under stressful conditions.

    Tyrosine is an amino acid that helps nourish thyroid function and is also involved in manufacturing other helpful weight loss hormones that regulate metabolism. One of those is norepinephrine, which is one of the key hormones in the body that stimulates thermogenesis and the breakdown of stored body fat.

    Alpha lipoic acid breaks down carbohydrates (sugar) and speeds the removal from the bloodstream.

    LYNFIT ACCELERATOR

    When you restrict your diet to lose fat and combine that with a metabolic boosting workout you may start to feel your energy levels slump. This can cause your cravings to spike up. Supplementing with a thermogenic fat burner that targets your body's fat receptor sites and encourages it to release stored fat may boost energy while minimizing food cravings. 

    LynFit Accelerator with raspberry ketones and green tea tricks your body into acting like a thin person by raising the metabolic rate and reducing hunger hormones while lowering blood sugar levels. LynFit Accelerator forces your body to release stored fat to be used for fuel while helping to reduce cellulite, effectively breaking down fat and converting it to energy and naturally lowering cholesterol levels.

    LynFit Accelerator Nutritional Label

    Raspberry ketones have an anti-obesity effect, meaning they inhibit weight gain. Raspberry ketones do not work well alone; that's why LynFit Accelerator is stacked with the most effective fat loss ingredients such as green tea, chocolate bean powder, B6, and B12.

    Green tea boosts metabolism and promotes a feeling of well-being. The truth is when you feel better you eat better.

    Chocolate bean powder has been known to create a feeling of fullness and suppress appetite. Chocolate bean powder is loaded with health-protecting antioxidants.

    Chromium is a trace mineral that helps lower blood sugar levels, reduce cravings for carbohydrates, and decrease appetite.

    B6 and B12 boost energy you need when trying to lose weight. They promote fat loss by boosting metabolism, so you burn more calories all day long. B vitamins help your body metabolize carbs and fats, making them easier to be burned off vs. being stored.

    LynFit Accelerator does contain caffeine to ensure delivery of these helpful nutrients. There is no need to worry, however. LynFit Accelerator contains less caffeine than a small (the old-fashioned small) cup of coffee.

    For an even better boost, open the capsule and pour the contents into your LynFit Protein Shake. It gets absorbed and utilized by the body faster.
    NOTE: If you're prone to anxiety you may want to consider switching to decaf coffee or start slowly by taking ½ a capsule. Avoid caffeine while taking LynFit Accelerator until you see how you feel taking it.
