This weekend was phe-nom. Anyone else feel that way? I got a lot of work done but also took some time off for a date with my boys. We went to the pool at the rec. centre. Plus I’m super happy because I re-arraged a whole bunch of furniture in my home and sold a bunch of stuff on Craigslist that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my obsession with Craigslist, but there you go… I have one. I’m consistently buying and selling E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G on there. I think I’ve mastered it so if you ever have any questions about that, let me know. 

Anyway, back to the subject at hand…

Who said it would be too hard to stay on your diet plans? Well, it is even easier than you thought, especially when you check out this 4 Different Eating Plan for Fast Weight Loss chart. Here, you will find a basic cheat sheet that will guide you through to help you make up your mind! I have already broken down the 4-Hour BODY into a cheat sheet in a different post and you can access it here. You will see that thanks to diet plans and an exercise schedule, getting slim and healthy will happen before you know it.

       Beef (without fat!)
         Fish in general (preferably grilled)

Detox Diet
The rules
        You can have lighter foods that will detox your body.
        Have light soups with a few vegetables; stews are also a very good idea!
         Eat a couple of fruits such as bananas and apples! They will help your body feel good!
         Drink green tea to detox your system.
        Drink fresh juices as well. The best fruits for detox diets are juices made out of watermelon, melon, coconut water and star fruit.
         Drink at least 2 liters of mineral water per day!
         Do Not:
        Forget to exercise or 
        forget your ATHLETIC GREENS IN THE MORNING.
       Eat fried foods of any sort.
        Have sweets such as chocolate.
        Eat processed foods of any sort.
        Drink any kind of processed beverage such as carton juices and carbonated drinks!
  ·    Eat meats, bad/ white carbohydrates and proteins in general.

        No dairy products such as cheese or milk.
        No soy, wheat, corn or sugar.
        No artificial juices, sweeteners.
        Have a fat free diet.

        Eat at least 4 ounces of meat
        Have 3 white eggs
        1 cup of cooked grains
      Take  Salad greens
        Natural juices and natural foods in general are good
        Have herbal teas!
        Drink as much water as you can. It is a good idea to drink half of your weight in ounces of water every single day.
        Avoid eating out!
 
Again, ATHLETIC GREENS is perfect for every diet. Drink this for more energy and to rev up your metabolism.

How Weight Loss Diets May Help You More Than You Think…

October 11, 2014 by
A lot of people are fed up by their excessive weight. So they are searching for a hasty weight loss methods that will trim down the fat and offer a slim body. A weight loss diet is often
considered an effective way to trim down and feel your best.
 
How could weight loss diets help you? Here is How Weight Loss Diets May Help You More Than You Think…
Lemon in water | www.4hourbodygirl.com
Quick weight loss diets are well-liked because they are a guarantee to rapid weight loss with small efforts. Weight loss procedures are
not appropriate for all people and may be dangerous sometime, because with any surgery there is a risk. The key is to
find a healthy diet plan that stresses on his/her healthy eating overall as compare to limitations on the quantity food. Here a small number of helpful hints will help you to choose a diet plan that will fit your lifestyle best. (Tweet This)

 
Being in good physical shape is most important – Weight loss diets are safe way to loose weight. A secure healthy diet should consist of all the daily recommended nutrients,
protein and fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals. If you are not following
nutritional guidelines or not eating proper nutrient food then malnourishment may
take place.
 
Get sufficient calories – Eat nutrient dense foods- that will provide you energy. Get enough calories for your body otherwise you have to face health hazards. If your calories are less
than 1,000 per day for woman and 1,600 per day for men, you will face
irreversible effects to your body. Cutting your calories too low can cause your
metabolism to malfunction amongst other things. Start thinking of your body as a machine that you need to fuel instead of just eating because you’re hungry. (Tweet This)
 
Eating vegetables
and fruits – your diet should include fruit and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide
numerous minerals, vitamins and fibre which are necessary for best health. Although, the 4-Hour BODY slow carb diet suggests not to include fruit in the initial quick weight loss, I still included berries in my protein shakes and an orange at night to cut fat. You will lose fat faster if you eliminate fruit during that phase and add it back into your diet once you’re in the maintenance phase. 
 
Low fat material – Low fat diets consist of eliminating most fats in the diet. The body needs fat every day to function properly. Choose good fats. Do not limit Omega 3 fats, if you are not eating proper fats, but eating unhealthy fats like deep fried foods, fatty processed meats, lots of margarine, etc., it may lead heart disease, blood pressure and some more undesirable outcomes. Some good fats are Omega 3 fatty acids, avocado, coconut, olive, nut oils, and pure butter, which has omega 6. Butter is the only one that should really be limited.
 
Take dairy products-
but should be in accurate amount:   It is not recommended in the slow carb diet  to eat any dairy to lose weight fast, except on your cheat day.  Many other healthy diet plans tell you that low fat dairy foods are really good to lose weight, but take in proper amount because
they provide necessary acids and nutrients to our body. Milk is calcium rich
product-used to make strong the bones. Researchers say that by eating foods
such as milk, cheese, and yogurt can slow the creation of fat cells and
increase the metabolism. I eat full fat dairy when I’m in the maintain phase but cut it out completely when I want to lose weight fast.
 
Eat meat in your diet – or take a
few proteins driven food. It (Protein) helps body to build and mend tissue and
strength, create hormones and other very important functions all over the body.
Remember although, too much animal protein can damage some of our very
important organs, plus the body can only absorb so much at one time. A easy way to measure how much lean meat/protein you need in each meal is to measure the size against the size of your palm. The circumference and thickness of your palm should match the circumference and thickness of the amount of protein you need in one meal.

Make sure to investigate the diet plan you prefer before deciding on any diet. When you are trying any of these extra fast weight loss diets, it is extremely essential to visit your physician before you start and regularly so that you can make a plan for healthy sufficient diet in your daily routine and to help keep you on point.
