We Need 1 Gram of Protein per Day

Did you know that our bodies need 1 gram of Protein per pound of Lean body mass every day? That means if your goal weight is 120, you only need 120 grams of protein so you feed the lean muscle tissue and starve the fat so it leaves!  Without drinking a high quality protein shake (made with water and ice), weight loss is virtually impossible as the proteins we normally eat are where all of the fat comes from in our diets, not to mention, it’s saturated fat versus good fat.  This is where most weight loss programs fail and we quit and give up.  Eating too much fat stops fat loss so remember to consume NO MORE THAN 20 grams of fat per day

Drinking a  shake or eating a Lean bar removes this problem and nourishes the body with the lean protein it needs without all of the fat, carbs and sugar other sources contain.  There's a catch..............In order for protein to fuel your metabolism and not add to fat storage, it needs to be clean, pure and COMPLETE! Complete Protein means that it contains all of the essential amino acids it needs to be a Complete Protein. You see, protein is made up of amino acids so, if it’s a good quality, it has all of them in exactly the right amount your body needs! No more, no less!   

IF you run out of shake and have to buy another brand, look for the following; 150 calories, 1 gram of fat, 3 grams of sugar or less.  Make sure they are soy, dairy and gluten free and use 80% grade whey.  Always stay away from pre-made (canned) shakes.

The reason you’ll never see my shakes and lean bars sold anywhere else except LYNFIT.com , is so I can keep my eye on the quality at all times!  As always, LynFit’s whey is soy free and always gluten free and is safe for all dairy sensitive people.

LynFit’s Complete protein is made from 80% pure whey which is THE highest grade whey you can buy, not to mention it tastes irresistibly delicious!  Quality is crucial as this is what determines whether you lose weight or not.  LynFit’s whey has been micro filtered, removing ALL traces of fat and lactose which is why my shake is good for weight loss.  Micro filtering is an expensive process that removes the unwanted ingredients and leaves the nutrients intact so it still contains all of the essential amino acids your body needs to boost your metabolism 25%!    Did you know that ONLY Complete Protein will

  • Boost your metabolism 25%
  • Kill cravings
  • Block cortisol (the stress hormone that causes fat to be stored around our belly hips and thighs and raises blood sugar and depresses our immune system!
  • Satisfy sweet cravings
  • Boost immunity
  • Boost your mood

Not all protein shakes and bars are created equal!  When it comes to Complete Protein they are not even close!  The bad news is that if you’re buying your whey from your local pharmacy or warehouse store, you’re buying the ingredients that have been removed from the higher quality whey's like LynFit’s Complete Protein. If your weight is stuck using a brand other than LynFit and you haven’t lost weight in 2 weeks, it usually isn't a high quality source and it’s loaded with fillers and inferior proteins like soy, pea, and dairy sources that don't work when it comes to losing weight and this may be why your weight loss has stopped!  Do your homework and compare ingredients in other protein shakes to LynFit Complete Protein Shake to see what I’m talking about.

I use the same high quality whey found in my Complete Protein shake in my lean bars to guarantee your weight loss success!  If the quality is not high enough, it won’t nourish your body the way it’s supposed to and you won’t lose weight! 

The second catch that no one talks about is that our bodies can only digest 25 grams of protein at a sitting (think of it as a 25 gallon gas tank…you can’t stuff 30 gallons in or it spills out of the tank! That's what excess body fat is........extra fuel our bodies couldn't use!  So, getting the right amount (of the right kind of protein) is the secret to fast, lasting AND healthy weight loss! 

How do you know?  You can tell by the results you see in the mirror as well as how you feel.  With LynFit Complete Protein Shakes and Lean Bars, there is nothing but the highest quality and YUMMY flavor !

Super Charge your Metabolism with Slimming Smoothies

Slimming smoothies boost your metabolism 25%, kill cravings and help shrink your hips and thighs by helping to lower your carbohydrate consumption. Slimming smoothies can also help flatten your stomach and banish the bloated feeling we all feel this time of year IF you drink the right kind of smoothie! BUT….buyer beware because not all smoothies are created equal! Smoothies are everywhere; in the mall, at fast-food restaurants, in coffee shops.  In fact smoothies even have their own store!  Almost all of the smoothies commercially purchased are best for weight gain! Store bought smoothies are loaded with sugar, and carbohydrates and they do more harm than good. If you’re not drinking the right kind of smoothie you may be stopping fat loss dead in its tracks and causing weight gain!

However................if you blend your smoothie using the right ingredients you can turn it into a FAT MELTING COCKTAIL!  In fact, smoothies are the #1 way to lose weight fast! People who drink smoothies for breakfast report losing 40% more weight.


Fat Melting Criteria


      1.  Should contain 155-200 calories or less.  Smoothies as a meal replacement offset calories or bad eating days.

           We all have bad eating days so we all need a safety net under us to keep our weight in check.
 
      

      2.   The main ingredient should be a high quality 80% pure Whey because it’s a "thermogenic"

            Compound that will help boost your metabolism so your body burn fat.

            TIP:  * High quality whey boosts your metabolism 25% and helps keep you feeling full which  

            helps curb snacking and overeating. Pure Whey will help to shrink cellulite and tighten skin! 


 
      3.   Under 5 grams of sugar per serving -no sugar is always best. Sugar inhibits fat loss!  

            Your body will not burn fat if you’re eating sugar!


      4.   Look for 1 gram of fat or less. FAT feeds fat!  

            You need to eliminate the fat in order to burn it even if it’s good fat!


 
      5.    DO NOT ADD EMPTY CALORIES they show up on your thighs and stomach!

             Ingredients that add empty calories are coconut water, fruit, milk, yogurt, juice and flax seed or any ingredients that add fat.

             Get creative and add ingredients like sugar free fat free jell-o and granulated coffee.

5 Rules for Losing Those Last 10 Stubborn Pounds

Losing those last five or 10 pounds can be downright impossible. The bottom line is … it is all about numbers! All you have to do is take your goal weight and multiply it by 10 – and that is the correct amount of calories that you should be taking in each day in order to reach your goal weight. The hard part is HOW do you decrease your calories without giving up even more?

In order to lose those last 10 stubborn pounds, you need to think beyond the fat you are burning in your workout and focus on the amount of fat you are eating or storing the other 23 hours of the day. The less fat and excess calories you eat the less you will have to work off! TRANSLATION: It is 80 percent diet and 20 percent sweat.
 
I could go on for days about this. So many people say, “I just have to exercise.” The reality is yes, you do need to exercise, but what you put in your mouth counts more than you think. Below are a few things that you NEED to be doing if you are serious about losing those last 10 stubborn pounds, especially if you want the weight that you lose to be from fat.
 
But before we get to that, there is a HUGE difference between being leaner and being lighter. Being leaner with a slimmer waistline should always be your goal. It is healthier and it looks much better! The key to a lean tight body that doesn’t jiggle is lifting weights three times a week and making sure you do your cardio every day for 45-60 minutes. This fitness formula is ALWAYS the recipe for success! It works every time even if you have the most stubborn metabolism.
 
The 5 things that you NEED to do to lose those last 10 STUBBORN pounds:

1. Eat only the white part of the egg. Yolks have 7 grams of fat per yolk. You should be eating no more than 20 grams of fat per day MAX if you want to lose body fat.
 
2. Eat your salads with fat-free dressings. Each tablespoon of oil that you use is 120 calories and 14 grams of fat! REMINDER: If you are eating too much fat, your body will not burn it.
 
3. Eat proper portion sizes. An extra 3 ounces of chicken means an extra 7 grams of fat or having an extra serving of rice or pasta can mean overeating by as much as 300 calories – and that’s more than you burn in your workouts most of the time.
 
4. Never eat carbs at night or past 3 p.m. for that matter. Think green and beige for dinner: a serving of protein and a large salad with fat-free dressing.
 
5. Pull out all of the stops. Fat is very stubborn, especially when you are down to the last 10 pounds. This is when you really need fat-burning supplements. Look for supplements that include L-carnitine or white kidney bean; if your metabolism is really stuck, you may need to use raspberry ketones to push your body into the fat-burning zone. The supplements will make sure that the excess fat gets pulled into the cell to be burned for fuel. One of the best weight-loss tricks of all time is to replace a meal with a complete protein shake; this is also one of the best ways to boost your metabolism by 25% as well as improve your health!
