Green And Lean: The Metabolic Boosting System Works

I am blessed to receive hundreds of emails every week from people just like you who are right in the middle of a struggle to lose weight, regain self-confidence, or maybe just need a little boost to get over a metabolism hump. I take all of those emails very seriously. No one email is more important than another. I've learned through all my years of experience that what might seem small or trivial to one person is a giant albatross to someone else. In my world there is no such thing as a silly question or insignificant issue. They're all important. That's why I take the time to answer each one as quickly and honestly as I possibly can.

Every once in a while I will receive an email from someone that just really hits me where I live. It may be from someone who is going through, or has gone through, similar circumstances to what I had to overcome. Other times it may be an email from someone who feels completely alone in their weight loss journey and needs to know that they are not peculiar or weird. In fact, if the truth were known, those people are probably more like the majority of us than they'd ever know. And then there are those times when I receive a letter or email from someone who has come full circle - from searching for the right answers to finding and utilizing them to reach their personal goals. All of these; the ones searching, the ones needing assurance, the overcomers - That, is what I live for.

Today I'd like to share one with you that I recently received that really hit home. It reinforced to me that I am doing what is intended of me. I think when you read it you'll see a lot of points that will fit into your own life. Here's Leisa Hipsher's story.....  

Wouldn't You LOVE To Lose Weight Faster And Melt Belly Fat?

So, you've got the holiday weight gain still hanging around and now we've got Valentine's Day with all its chocolate coming up. Maybe you feel stuck. You feel like you're doing everything you can and you're just kind of stuck on that plateau. Wouldn't you LOVE to switch your fat cells from being stuck in "store" mode to "burn" mode? Your first step may not necessarily be making huge, drastic changes. It's the little things you start doing, one by one, and just doing them that will begin to make the difference you're looking for.

Fat cells do have a purpose. They release different hormones that play a role in everything from managing energy, controlling your weight, regulating mood to appetite. Believe it or not, fat cells are not your enemy. The trick is to get them to start acting like a thin person's fat cells in the "burn" mode rather than the "store" mode.

Here are 3 simple steps anyone can do to get their fat cells to go from "store" to "burn":

 

EAT THERMOGENICALLY: We all want fast, easy weight loss and it's guaranteed to happen if you eat thermogenically. I could dive   into great details about thermogenic eating, and do in my book The Metabolism Solution, but let's start with one of those "little" things that I talked about above - Drink a whey protein shake every day. My LynFit Completed Protein Advanced Non GMO Whey has the lowest fat and carbs you'll find in any high quality shake. It not only boosts your metabolism, it also re-calibrates your appetite. So while you're learning how to eat thermogenically you're losing weight at the same time. Sort of like getting paid for on the job training. 

EXERCISE METABOLICALLY: Put the brakes on weight gain and put the pedal to the metal on weight loss. There are weight loss workouts and then there are metabolic workouts. Metabolic workouts specifically boost your metabolism where others can actually cause weight gain. 3 days a week 30 minutes each is all you need and these can be done in the privacy of your own home. All of my LynFit metabolic workouts can be found in The Metabolism Solution.

MELT FAT WITH FUDGE: Yes, you read that correctly - Melt Fat with Fudge. But not just any fudge. It's all about swapping out the foods you can't live without with a better option. All you need is my protein powder, honey and just a bit of oatmeal. Mixed together, formed into balls and frozen, you've got the perfect substitute for when you're craving chocolate. Just thaw and pop in your mouth and you're out of that junk food funk. This recipe and other dessert favorites can be found in The Metabolism Solution.

So rather than trying to take giant leaps at one time, take it one step at a time and learn to do the little things that will help you lose weight faster and burn belly fat. Make sure and watch the video above with NBC CT for even more details on getting your fat cells into burn mode.

Slim Down Post-Super Bowl: The Morning After Diet

 

"Prepare to Overeat". Yes, I said "Prepare to Overeat". You cannot live life in a bubble so there will be times when you will have to face the reality of overeating. For many of you, this past weekend was a prime example.

Did you know that this past Sunday was the #2 biggest eating day of the year? According to recent statistics, Super Bowl and non-Super Bowl watchers alike consumed 1,200 calories in snacks alone this past Sunday. Not only that, drinkers clogged up their liver with excessive consumption of alcohol. The worst part - the foods we chose to consume; pizza, avocados, chips, chicken wings, soda and beer, are the worst when it comes to losing weight.

Super Bowl Sunday is just one of many examples we could use. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, job parties, holidays - there's just too many to name all of them. Did you know that the mental struggle of trying to figure out what you can and cannot do at these "life events" can be just as traumatic as the overeating itself? That's why you need to go ahead and enjoy this life that God provided for you, but do it in such a way that recovery from these overeating events is guaranteed and any weight gain is minimal.

Here are 3 Super Survivor Tricks to stop weight gain before it happens when you overeat.

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE EVENT: WEIGHT LOSS BOOST

Drink a tall glass of water to help your body detox and pop (1) LynFit Lean Sleep with melatonin (5mg) to help offset the oxidative stress caused by over indulging and boost calorie burn. 

Melatonin is an important brown fat regulator. Brown fat burns calories which is exactly what we need after a bad day of eating and drinking.

THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT: EAT THERMOGENICALLY

This can be as simple as drinking a clean whey LynFit Protein Shake to turn up the heat; boosting your metabolism and re-calibrating your appetite, which turns off cravings so your blood sugar level goes back to normal. Do not add juice or milk. Mix with ½ cup of berries for more antioxidant boosting power to help ease a morning after headache.

Bonus Boost: Open (1) capsule of LynFit Carb Edge and add it directly to your protein shake for faster absorption and better results. Carb Edge will help get those blood sugar levels back on track. And that hangover you're feeling - it's from excessive carbs and alcohol consumption which turns to sugar in our bodies when broken down. You can also take (1-2) Carb Edge before you cheat to block the absorption of unwanted carbs without nasty side effects. 

Eating more sugar and carbs prolongs things so balancing blood sugar is the secret. For extra prevention you can take (1) Carb Edge before you start eating. It contains white kidney bean extract that helps prevent carbs from being absorbed so you can eat more at your event but absorb less carbs. Not that I'm suggesting that you eat more, but realizing that you more than likely will.

AFTER THE EVENT: DON'T EAT IN BETWEEN MEALS - DRINK WATER INSTEAD

Drink water or tea instead to fuel your slow, damaged metabolism. If you really overdid it at your event you can have a green apple to help regulate your blood sugar levels, but that's it. Remember, you probably ate enough at your event to last a week so you won't starve.

Think About It:

• It takes roughly 3 hours of walking for the average person to burn off 12 calories
• Each beer sets you back 150 calories and takes 1 hour to clear your system
• 1 chip dunked into dip is 80 calories
• 6 wings = 990 calories
• 2 handfuls of Cheetos™ takes 1 hour of intense running to burn off
• 3 sodas = 57 minutes of running to burn off
• 3 beers = 3 hours of running to burn off

Bottom line, when you overeat - and you will, take measures beforehand to plan and prepare your body as much as possible. Then in the days following, get right back on the plan and take the extra steps outlined above to help your body recover as quickly as possible.

The Power Of Protein

Your weight loss just got easier and a whole lot faster with LynFit All Natural Complete Protein Advanced - Non GMO with metabolic boosting whey. Our unique "pure and clean" Complete Protein Advanced tastes irresistibly delicious and is the only whey protein of its kind that won't make you look like a bodybuilder.

The secret is in the quality and purity. While you preserve lean muscle you'll starve the fat so it leaves your system. This process makes the Complete Protein Advanced the first protein shake of its kind that is specifically geared for sluggish metabolisms or "hard losers". You cannot buy a better tasting, natural whey protein shake.

Are you ready to lose weight faster and easier without sacrificing taste? Now you can. If you are finally ready to lose 1 pound per day or break through that weight loss plateau and melt belly fat you can. LynFit's Complete Protein Advanced is proven to help burn off more calories and promote fat loss while making you feel fuller longer, while killing cravings before they begin.

Where do you start? You start by drinking a Complete Protein Advanced every day. It is the absolute best breakfast for your body because it feeds the muscle but starves the fat. Drinking a clean, pure, high quality protein shake acts like an imaginary meal that tricks your body into losing weight by jump starting your metabolism so your body has no choice but to shed weight.


WHY IT WORKS

LynFit's Research and Development Team and gurus perfected the new Complete Protein Advanced Shake. It does many critical things that other shakes cannot.

• It contains 24 grams of the highest quality non GMO without being genetically modified to safely boost your metabolism.
• It fills you up faster and keeps you feeling full longer while killing cravings before they begin.

WHAT MAKES LYNFIT'S COMPLETE PROTEIN ADVANCED - NON GMO DIFFERENT THAN COMMERCIALLY BOUGHT SHAKES?

LynFit uses only the very best in high quality whey isolate to start with. Unlike cheap powders we purify the whey which removes all impurities while preserving the amino acids that tell your brain you're full. It tells your body that if it wants more food it's going to have to burn fat in order to get it. You'll eat less and lose more.

We pay attention to the research and researchers agree that the role essential amino acids play is critical when it comes to preserving lean muscle which is what makes your metabolism work harder and encourage fat loss. That's why we use the very best whey protein isolate that's not genetically modified. Not to mention, it's hormone free.

WHY DO I FEEL HUNGRY 3 HOURS LATER?

That's the metabolic boost you're feeling and it's actually a good sign. It means your body is about to begin burning fat as fuel. Don't be afraid of being hungry. It's a good sign that your metabolism is beginning to work. We are not supposed to feel full all of the time.

WHY WHEY? CAN'T I JUST HAVE A YOGURT OR PRE-MADE SHAKE FROM THE LOCAL "JUICER" STORE?

While juicing might make it easier to get in your daily servings of veggies, juicing isn't the best for weight loss as it can raise blood sugar levels. Only whey has been proven to help with weight loss. Whey is the absolute best form of protein for your body because it contains the highest amounts of amino acids. It also has the highest per ration, which simply means it has the highest protein efficiency ratios, meaning it's utilized and absorbed better than any other source of protein.

Any other form of protein is 2nd best. Milk (all dairy), eggs, soy, pea are inferior forms of protein and that's why they do not work as well (if at all) when it comes to weight loss. Yogurts contain more sugars than doughnuts - sugars that slow your metabolism.

WHY CAN'T I FIND THE LYNFIT COMPLETE PROTEIN ADVANCED IN A STORE?

In one word - QUALITY. In order to sell products in stores successfully quality standards must go down in order for profits to go up. I drink these shakes myself every day, as well as my family, and I won't budge when it comes to quality. Selling them online only allows me to keep my hand on the high quality pulse without sacrifice. Most commercially purchased protein powders are not created with these high quality ingredients, so while you might save a few pennies, you won't get the results.

WHAT DOESN'T IT HAVE IN IT?

This is what really makes LynFit's non GMO Complete Protein Advanced different. You won't find any artificial sweeteners. Each batch is naturally sweetened with Stevia. You won't find any artificial colors. Complete Protein Advanced is made with pure raw unprocessed cacao and pure All Natural vanilla bean powder. You'll actually see flecks of these ingredients in the powder. You'll not only see the difference, you'll taste the fresh pure difference as well.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER AMAZING BENEFITS OF COMPLETE PROTEIN ADVANCED - NON GMO?

• You'll feel healthier
• You'll have more energy
• Your mood will improve
• Your hair, skin and nails become healthier
• Helps in slowing down the aging process
• Helps stabilize blood sugar levels
• You'll feel less bloated or constipated

You simply cannot buy better whey.

• Low calorie - only 132 calories per 2 scoop serving
• Only 7 carbs per serving - great for low carb diets, diabetics, and anyone who craves sugar
• 25 grams of lean, clean protein
• 30 servings per bag (only $1.96 per serving)
• Non GMO and hormone free
• Gluten free
• Ultra filtered for purity

LynFit's Complete Protein Advanced is changing the way America loses weight because - IT WORKS. It's made in small batches using the highest standards. It's like growing your own vegetables that you use in cooking. This is why you'll see and feel the difference the same day.

This process is very expensive and that's why LynFit may seem more costly. But quality counts when it comes to weight loss and health. That's the LynFit difference. At $1.96 per serving (when not on sale) how can you go wrong? Where else can you get such a nutritious meal for under $2.00? That is a small price to pay for optimal health and rapid weight loss.

Fasting For Spiritual Renewal - Not Just For Weight Loss

Wanna know the REAL LynFit difference? Unlike other weight loss programs, we deal with weight loss "from the inside out". That's where the biggest changes need to be made, and where the root of many problems are. Dealing with weight loss in this manner is the best for lasting weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try to focus on good and positive things all you can see is the bad. Seeing nothing but bad eventually leads us to focusing on self-centeredness, unable to hear our own inner voice. Fasting is more than just not eating meat on Fridays. Fasting is a way to leave behind that physical pain, those bad thoughts, that self-centeredness. Fasting removes our dependency from all things that block our sensitivity to the spiritual.

I want to take you on a little journey to give you a glimpse into my "why" when it comes to living a Leaner Lifestyle, even after I reached my goal weight. For me, and I'm guessing there are many others of you who would agree, reaching that goal weight was just the beginning. Weight loss was the physical renewal that was visible to everyone. The REAL renewal was what took place on the inside. Those deepest darkest places that no one else could see. That renewal was a spiritual renewal. No, not a religious renewal that was tied to a certain set of doctrinal beliefs or a religious denomination. Rather a true deep-rooted spiritual renewal that was directly tied to my personal relationship with a very personal God. A relationship that allows me to live a life of clean eating to honor my body rather than junking it up.

The Metabolic Boosting: Lose 1 Pound Per Day Plan (found in "The Metabolism Solution") fits perfectly with fasting lifestyles, making it easier to stick to your fast regardless of your religion. This in turn allows you to concentrate on the reason why you're fasting in the first place, keeping your body and mind healthy so you can focus on the more important things in life - renewing your spirit and not just focusing on your body.

For me, fasting brings deeper meaning to my life and helps me to hear God's voice more clearly, allowing me to live according to His will. In short, it brings clarity to my life. At my church, Northeast Community Church, we fast together as a community and as individuals. I would love for you to join with me this week spending time reading, reflecting and praying using this Daily Spiritual Renewal Guide (You may print the guide out directly from the link. Special thanks to Northeast Community Church for content).

Make sure you break your fast in as clean a way as possible by referring to the clean recipe in the Renewal Guide for the last day. Your system will have been purified and your spirit renewed. Let's not "junk" it right back up with heavy eating to only weigh you right back down again.

I am thrilled that you're taking this journey of spiritual renewal with me. I can't wait to hear your stories of how God worked in and through your life. I challenge all of us to dig deep and lose that excess baggage we've been carrying around. And not just of the unwanted physical weight variety.

For more information about fasting and weight loss refer to "The Metabolism Solution: God and Your Bod".

Note: During a time of fasting it's a good idea to decrease your workouts

7 Pounds Slimmer In 7 Days

Have you ever asked yourself: "Why is America getting heavier every year, but there is a gym on every street corner and a diet for every day of the week?" It's all about the speed of our metabolism, and most of us lack that speed. We're stuck in the slow lane.

Most of what we've been taught about weight loss is all wrong. We're watching TV shows that tell us to eat like cavemen, put butter into our coffee, and to eat avocados to slim our thighs. Not to mention, we actually believe we can eat too little and that slows weight loss. Really? We're living in a way that is damaging our metabolisms, and many of the so-called "healthy" things we do are to blame for our weight gain because they damage our metabolism, slowing it down and making it way too easy to gain weight.

Have you ever had a single bad day of eating and seemed to have gained 2 pounds overnight? The 5 simple slimming solutions below will help you to harness the power of your metabolism, making weight loss faster and easier no matter how slow your metabolism is or how old you are. Safely flip the switch on your metabolism into high gear so you lose weight just as quickly as you gained it. Do these 5 proven strategies and you'll lose 1 pound per day and melt belly fat fast.

ACCELERATE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS WITH THERMOGENIC EATING

Thermogenic eating is not only the best way to lose 1 pound per day but also bust through your weight loss plateaus. Thermogenic eating heats up your metabolism and recalibrates your appetite, switching your cravings to "off". This can be as simple as swapping your usual carb-filled or caveman breakfast for a clean, whey protein shake made with ice and coffee for a Slimming Lean Latte. Remember to wait 12 hours after your last meal to enjoy your smoothie. This one simple step can help you break through your weight loss plateau no matter what plan you're on.

Lean Latte Recipe

Mix the following items together in a shaker cup or blender. Be sure to look for whey that is low-calorie (150 calories or less), less than 5 grams of sugar, dairy free, soy free, and high-grade micro-filtered for the best results.

(2) scoops of whey - Vanilla or Chocolate
(5) ice cubes
(1) teaspoon granulated coffee
½ cup of water
*Do not add fruit or milk of any kind; including coconut or almond milk.

BOOST YOUR METABOLISM WITH METABOLIC BOOSTING WORKOUTS

Studies show that vigorous exercise isn't necessary. In fact, it may be your problem. Metabolic workouts are best at fat burning and fast weight loss; not to mention they reshape the body without bulking. You only have to do 3 metabolic workouts weekly to see results in that same week. Want to turbo charge that metabolic workout? Add 10,000 steps daily to blast that fat away.

EXPOSED: When it comes to boosting metabolism, metabolic workouts blow away other workouts such as Pilates, Yoga, and even extreme workouts such as boot camps and cross fit.

CRUSH CRAVINGS NATURALLY WHILE BOOSTING MOOD WITH THE SMART USE OF SAFE SUPPLEMENTS

The same way we use power tools to make tasks easier, specific nutrients can make losing weight easier by crushing cravings and boosting mood. Sometimes diet and exercise just aren't enough. Most of us already have these natural nutrients in our medicine cabinets. Smart use of these nutrients can stop cravings before they even begin. A few of my favorites are Vitamin D, Omega-3, and B-Complex. For really tough times I depend on Cocoa Bean Powder mixed with green tea for a quick pick-me-up.

The magic is in the timing of these specific nutrients. I suggest taking them 1-2 hours before cravings kick in, as a prevention. My motto has always been; take Omega-3 at 3pm.

SUPPLEMENT ALERT: If you don't see or feel results in 2 weeks using non-LynFit supplements - STOP. You most likely are not going to see results with that regimen. It's important that you only take high quality supplements. You might spend a little more but you'll use less with LynFit supplements, saving you money in the long run and you'll get faster results.

DO IT NOW!

Don't wait. If you're waiting for the perfect time to start losing weight you'll always be waiting. Start now and you can be 1 pound lighter by tomorrow. How much more motivation do you need? Set your default to "yes" and do it today.

EAT 3 MEALS (SMOOTHIES CAN COUNT AS A MEAL) AND 1 SNACK A DAY TO BOOST WEIGHT LOSS AND MELT FAT

Drink warm water with lemon, or hot tea (minus the milk and sugar) in between meals and grab a small green apple mid-afternoon to kill cravings and keep things regular. Most of us just "think" we're hungry. Often it's just thirst. When it comes to water, drink ½ your body weight in ounces daily to keep your metabolism running smoothly. Being dehydrated can slow your metabolism by 3%. Melt fat by drinking more water.
