The Best Way to Lose Weight for That Big Event


Prince William and Kate Middleton did it; cleansed in order to slim down before their wedding. Maybe you've got a big event coming up, like a wedding (yours or one you're attending), a class reunion, a vacation on the beach, or you just feel the need to jump-start your weight loss, and you need to drop some weight and shape up. Then this is specifically for you.

I hear it regularly, “I need to lose some weight for …" And then it is followed by a big sigh before it is followed with, “how can I get there quick?”

Well, one thing is certain, “quick” won’t happen if you have let yourself get too far away from the desired look you are trying to achieve. However, if you cleanse the right way, you can make a huge difference in how your clothes fit.

I suggest following the LynFit Metabolic Boosting Cleanse for as long as you can to lose weight, and more importantly, keep it off. Follow it for seven days, and you can Lose 7 pounds in 7 days, 10 pounds in 10 days, 30 in 30....... You get the picture :)

What About Exercising While Cleansing?

Remember that weight loss is 90 percent diet and 10 percent sweat equity, so focus on eating clean, getting enough sleep and rest, and be mindful not to overdo exercise or push too hard. Overzealous exercise can stop weight loss due to the stress it places on the body, which causes cortisol levels that block fat from being burned off - specifically stubborn belly fat. Easy does it, and the rule of thumb is that you should be able to have a conversation while exercising. If you can't, you're pushing too hard.

Keep in mind that walking should be a daily habit, just like brushing your teeth. Be sure to get in your 10,000 steps daily to help keep you fit and reduce stress.

For a total transformation, follow this exercise plan (all of these may be downloaded by clicking on the name):

More than anything else, get off the couch!

Remember too that transformation begins in your mind first. So be sure to spend some time cleansing and detoxing your mind too. Believe. Begin. Become.

Losing 10 percent of your body weight can deliver huge health benefits like reduced blood pressure and cholesterol, decreased blood sugar levels, and a boost in energy and mood. You'll not only look better; you'll feel better too. Brides, a 10-pound weight loss and you'll drop a dress/clothing size too!

One Or More Months Before The Big Event

Here are a few things you'll need to know to be well on your way to being slim, hard, and sexy for your future husband or wife, your old school mates, or that person you are trying to meet in paradise. Better yet, do it for you!

Eliminate any liquid calories like soda or fancy coffee drinks and replace them with water recipes. It’s absolutely the easiest way to shed pounds and inches.

Research shows that beverage calories tend not to be filling, and you may not think of drinks as food, but in 30 days time just one 20 oz. glass of cola, sweet tea or juice adds up to the equivalent of about 2,000 jelly beans worth of sugar.

Stick with water (take a look at these delicious, hydrating water recipes) and unsweetened hot or cold green or black tea. And if you must have your morning cup of Joe, doctor it up with melt fat out milk and add spices like cinnamon and nutmeg; they help add flavor so you won’t miss the sugar and they're both antioxidant rich (think glowing skin).

At dinner, make 50 percent of the bulk of your meals leafy green veggies (about 2 cups, the size of 2 baseballs), 3 oz. of white fish, preferably white fish. Include a small amount (1 tsp.) of a healthy plant-based fat, such as sautéing the veggies in 1 tsp. of sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil.

This nutritional balance helps decrease blood sugar levels, which sets up the body to burn fat and helps to curbs calories and hunger. It also helps to energize as you shrink your fat cells.

Make sure to measure your food. You may think your eyeballs are your biggest asset but don't use them to visualize your portions, get a food scale. 

The Week Before The Big Event

Get rid of the big bloaters/triggers: Alcohol, chewing gum, carbonated drinks, and artificial sweeteners. Drinking through a straw, eating too fast, skipping meals, and over-blending your protein shakes (adding air) can also cause bloating. All of these make you swallow or retain more air in your GI tract, which can swell like a balloon, giving you a pooch which can show in your dress or clothes.

On The Big Day

You don’t want to pass out on your way down the aisle or at your big event, and you want to feel really good, so be sure to pack a few extra LynFit Lean Bars; and if possible, a pre-blended protein shake to energize you and keep your blood sugar levels steady.

If you're nervous, nibble on some celery, or better yet, say a prayer and allow God's presence to enter and steady those nerves.

Make sure to eat before you take that first sip of champagne or alcohol, and have some lean protein such as shrimp or chicken to buffer your blood sugar. Take an additional LynFit Accelerator Advanced; it contains ingredients that block 75 percent of the absorption of carbohydrates and fat, without harmful side effects.

Without food in your belly, alcohol gets absorbed almost immediately, so your blood alcohol rises quickly.

Also, be sure to drink a glass of water between each alcoholic beverage, so you stay hydrated. I’ve heard of many brides passing out before consummating their marriage because of too many champagne toasts without enough food and fluid. Don’t let this happen to you!

You're now ready for your big event. If it's your wedding, I pray God's blessings upon it. If it's another type of big event, enjoy it to the fullest.

Whatever the occasion, I'd love to celebrate your journey with you by way of photos. Just send them along to Support@LynFit.com. Here are two examples of brides who, like you, needed a little extra "help" for their big day. And they found it through the LynFit Metabolic Boosting Cleanse.

This is Molly. I like to call her "Last-Minute Molly" because she did just that - waited to the absolute last minute! She lost about 15 pounds in two weeks, with not exercise. Due to the last minute nature, we focused entirely on food.
