WHY YOU SHOULD DO ANYTHING BUT START THESE WEIGHTLOSS INJECTIONS

- they make you lose ‘weight’ not fat only.
Approximately 40% of your weight loss is not fat loss.
Losing muscle and bone affects your future health.
People with lower muscle mass die earlier.

- they only work as long as you are using them.
You will regain all the weight and fat you lost if you stop. It all comes back as fat.

- they are expensive.

You are worse off after stopping than if you never started.

If you lose 10 pounds, 4-5 pounds is muscle and bone loss.
After you stop, you gain back 10 pounds of fat.

You now have 4-5 pounds less muscle and bone, and 4-5 pounds more fat than when you started.

HOW TO USE IT SAFELY:
If you must use them, make lifestyle changes.
Do not depend on the drug only for a quick fix.
- Microdose or lowest dose
- Eat high protein.
- Choose above-the-ground veggies.
- Focus on building muscle.
- Eat real food, avoid junk, sugar and processed food.

METABOLIC BLOCKERS:
- Poor sleep
- Inflammation
- Food sensitivities
- Digestive problems including leaky gut
- Hormone imbalance
- Stress
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Inadequate protein
- Assuming all calories are equal
- Falling for the calorie counting myth
- Thinking you can exercise to make up for bad food choices

What else can you add to this list?

WHY CAN YOU NOT ‘LOSE WEIGHT’?

Dieting more than 3 times causes
- slower thyroid function
- lower basal metabolic rate

It’s time to stop dieting and start working on your metabolism.

Step one: remove the word ‘diet’ from your vocabulary.
Your subconscious mind links that to
- deprivation
- tasteless boring food
- something that is temporary.

No one ever starts a diet and thinks they will be on it forever!!!

Today is the day: you will choose real food, whole food and prioritize protein.
Tomorrow, you will start to notice your sugar intake, and what processed foods you choose.

Are you eating healthy and exercising but your belly fat is still there?

Metabolic blockers will thwart all your efforts, no matter what you do!

- Undiagnosed insulin resistance: when you have insulin resistance, you should never snack, and keep your carb intake below 50g a day if it is severe.
- Sleep: sleep sacrifice will block your metabolism. During sleep, your body heals and repairs itself, makes growth hormone and resets brain chemistry. Cravings appear and loss of discipline may be because you don’t sleep enough.
- Inflammation: when you have inflammation, it is very difficult, near impossible, to burn fat.

Belly fat, beyond how you fit your clothes… it’s your warning that you will die earlier, from heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disease, diabetes, arthritis, heart failure!!!

Do you really need that much veggies and fruit compared to meat to be healthy?
NO!!!

Nutrition science today no longer supports a plant based or ‘high plant based’ diet.
PROTEIN is the most inportant macronutrient. Eating inadequate protein is one of the largest reasons people fail to improve their lean (muscle) mass and decrease fat percentage.

Protein (animal protein) keeps you feeling full longer.
It does not affect your blood sugar levels. It does not give you cravings for sugar or carbs.
Animal protein comes along with fats, that help you feel saturated. You do not have to be afraid of eating protein.

Why not vegetarian protein?
It comes attached to a LOT of carbohydrates.
It is from legumes which contain lectins and anti nutrients increasing leaky gut and bloating.
Most people who struggle with belly fat and overall elevated fat mass, have insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance is corrected when you eat a low carb diet, increase muscle mass and improve cellular metabolism.

Do you have to go to the gym every day to manage your weight?

Studies show that “exercise snacking” is very useful. It means doing short bursts of exercise during the day.

You may have heard ‘Sitting disease is worse than smoking” because of the inflammatory markers released with prolonged sitting.

For this reason AND because you need muscle to ensure your healthy aging, exercise snacking is something you can easily add into any day.

5 minutes of brisk activity is what you need.
- jumping jacks
- squats
- on the spot marching
- countertop push ups
- water bottles as weights for arm exercises
- jumping rope
- dancing
- resistance bands

The goal is to elevate your heart rate.
Alternate exercises that promote muscle building with heart rate elevating exercises.

You need muscle to improve your metabolism.
You need it to live longer, too.

[never drink your calories]
Consume water, tea or coffee. Even zero calorie, artificially sweetened drinks raise your insulin levels which increase belly fat storage.

It’s easy to forget about sugar in what you drink.
For a Better Metabolism, drink water, black tea and black coffee.

Studies confirm that zero calorie drinks that are artificially sweetened affect insulin levels.
When your hormone insulin spikes, it takes sugar and stores it as fat. Belly fat.

This increases your risk for diabetes, heart disease amd dementia.

To maintain a lower body fat percentage, you need to keep insulin levels stable and low.
Frequent spikes increase fat storage.

Healthy drinks like fruit juice and veggie juice all contain sugar.

[avoid sugar and drinks that taste sweet for a better metabolism]

For a Better Metabolism, focusing on protein is the most important part of your plate.
The ideal amount of protein to consume is 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
*this is not a gram of the meat, but the protein in that serving of meat. For example, 200g of meat can contain 18-30 grams of protein, depending on what meat it is.

When choosing to follow a low carb foodstyle, you must increase fat and fibre to not feel hungry.
The biggest complaint people have when switching to low carb, high protein is hunger.
Eat enough protein first. Aim for a serving that provides 30-40g of protein.
Add good fats to your fibrous/ low carb veggies.
In this case it is butter added to the squash and veggies.

3 solid meals a day and no snacking will help you improve your muscle mass, burn fat and live healthier, longer.
Low carb eliminates processed food and sugar. Processed food is anything from a package.

Beyond burning fat, low carb, high protein meals help improve insulin resistance.
Insulin is the hormone that manages sugar levels and stores fat. Belly fat.
Decrease insulin surges by limiting foods that stimulate insulin release.
Sugar/ high starch food you may not think of as insulin provoking are
- whole grain breads and pastas, protein and meal bars, store bought protein shakes
- peas, corn, potatoes : yes these are vegetables but they are high in starch/ sugar
- fruit and veggie juices, diet soda, low fat foods like yogurt and baked goods

Eat meat! It’s great for your metabolism.

Meat Is Nutritionally Complete
There is no essential nutrient in plant products that cannot be obtained in an animal product. However, there are multiple essential nutrients that can only be obtained from animal products.
Additionally, all of the nutrients from animal products are present in the most bio available and most efficacious forms.
Vitamin B12: Plants do not have the need for vitamin B12, therefore vitamin B12 is not present within any plant products. Cows have the ability to synthesize cobalt using the bacteria present in their stomach. 100 grams of beef liver has over 3,000 of the RDI of B12 and 100 grams of muscle meat has 250% of the RDI.
Vitamin A: Vitamin A is found in two different forms: preformed or precursor. Preformed vitamin A is the retinol found in animal products such as meat and fish. The precursor form of Vitamin A carotenoids, or beta carotene, which are found in vegetable products such as carrots and sweet potatoes. The conversion rate of the precursor Vitamin A to the usable Vitamin A is about 8%. With that being said, extreme quantities of beta carotene have been demonstrated to cause hypercarotenemia, causing the skin to turn a yellow-orange color (38). It is also very important to note that vitamin A is fat soluble, thus it requires fat for absorption, which is a macronutrient not found in the majority of plant products to any reasonable degree.
Iron: There are also 2 forms of Iron: Heme iron and non heme Iron. Iron can only be absorbed when it is in the heme form, which is only found in meat products. Non heme iron found in plants and supplements must be reduced down to heme iron in the intestines. It is estimated that between
