I keep falling off this eating healthy wagon.

But like sex, you think that first orgasm was great until you have that second one :D oh yes, I did just go there 😀

All I'm saying is that I'm climbing on that healthy wagon again! but if I climb again, I expect better results the second time around, that's all 😅

Whose with me?

It's time!!!

Because we want to look damn good naked, no shame in that 😄

for our health, yeah of course. but

because summer is right around the corner

for that polka dot bikini

Because we want to be at our bests again, yeah, yeah

because we want energy for days,

But most importantly because

& So that when it comes down to it, you are so in balance that no challenge will ever be big enough for you!

So let's get started!

Join me!

How to lose weight with me with the

Tim Ferriss

Slow Carb Diet

Essentially the Time Ferris diet is consuming greens, protein, and legumes or beans and no white carbs. This diet allows for one cheat day a week and promises to help you lose 20 pounds in 30 days.

Let's get started.

What we'll be eating?

THE RULES

1. No white carbs: no bread, rice (white or brown), cereal, potatoes, pasta, tortillas, or fried foods with breading.

2. Eat the same meals over and over again.

3. Don't drink calories: no milk, juice, or soda. Unsweeten Coffee and tea are okay. If you must have any soft drinks, limit yourself to 16 ounces per day.

4. Don't eat fruit. Only tomatoes and avocados are okay, but with moderation, and no more than one cup or one meal per day.

5. Most importantly: Take one day off per week! On the seventh day of each week give yourself a cheat day: a day when you can eat and drink all you want.

THE HACKS!

MED: Losing the most weight with the least work possible through MED: Minimum Effective Those: the smallest dose that will produce the desired outcome.

Look I do not have one athletic gene in my body. I never liked PE, and I would get out of it every time I could, well as an adult things haven't changed much. I get out of working out every time I can. I tell myself I'll work out... after I clean... I'll workout of after I go to the store... I'll workout after... and after never ends. So Tim Ferris: The four guy, who is also responsible for the 6-minute abs guy, and my favorite the 15-minute female orgasm guide, was heaven sent. This man helps you produce results with concepts that are applicable and effective.

So for those like me who have "looking good" as a priority... that they can never get to, Meet MED: The Minimum Effective dose, doing 20% of the work and getting 80% of the results.

Let me explain:

The MED of boiling water is 212 *F (100*C) nothing less nothing more, boiled is boiled, and higher temperatures will not make it "more boiled."

The MED for tanning is 15 minutes. More than 15 minutes is redundant and will just result in burning.

Higher temperatures or longer periods of time do not always give you more results and can sometimes consume more resources. These resources can be used for something else, something more productive, or less productive, that is your prerogative 😉 The point here is that you are doing the least it takes to get the most amount of results, and that to me my friends is a win-win. You now have extra time to live and do what you please.

So without further do, let us get to the MEDs and 80/20's of weight loss: do the least necessary to trigger the most fat-loss:

1. Eat 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up:

eggs or an isolate protein shake will do. I use:

2. Drink only water, instead of other sugary alternatives. For hacks on how to drink more water check out my blog post, "How to actually stick to your New Year Resolution of Drinking more water"

3. Eat slow. Minimum 30 minutes per meal. This is really hard for me. Tim Ferris suggests that you divide your plate into 3 and wait 5 minutes between each portion.

4. Tablespoon of lemon juice before meals.

5. Cold showers: Take 5-10 minute cold showers before breakfast and before bed. Use hot water for 1-2 minutes over the entire body, then step out of the water, focusing the water on your lower neck and upper back. Maintain this position for 1*3 minutes as you acclimate and apply soap to all the important regions. Then turn around and rinse normally.

6. 20-30 minutes of ice pack on traps five days per week:

Place an ice pack on the back of your neck and upper trapezius area for 30 minutes, generally in the evening., when insulin is lower.

7. Add a tablespoon of Cinnamon (Saigon or Cassia as second best). No more than 4 grams (equivalent to 1 1/2 teaspoon) per day. Freshly ground is best and Do not use the cinnamon that has been in your spice racks for years now as polyphenols degrade over time.

8. Eat probiotics: sauerkraut is a good less expensive probiotic.

9. Consume 500 milliliters of ice water in an empty stomach immediately upon waking.

10. Eat your veggies. When time is of the essence I use:

I understand that life happens, and when "life happens", our diet is something that usually doesn't. Until now.

Periods, boyfriends, husbands, kids, school, work, and all those things that leave us with no willpower or ability to make good health decisions we will tackle them together!!!
