I'm a MEAT EATER!

Protein!  

"I'm a meat eater, I get my protein from the meat I eat."

I used to think I was "good" in the protein department.  I eat chicken, steak, pork chops and ham, I get plenty of protein.  My metabolism seemed to be slowing down and I kept fluctuating in my weight and clothing sizes.

I have since learned otherwise.  While it is true, I do get protein from those sources, it is not an easily digested and assimilated (absorbed) protein.  There is more waste produced when I eat these sources and less absorbed into my system than when I get my protein from a plant source. When I began using these plant based proteins, my energy sky rocketed and I began losing the weight, easily.

"33% of Women are not getting enough protein"

 ~David Heber MD Director of UCLA center for Human Nutrition

(estimates are that 25% of men are the same)

Protein is important in muscle production and retention. When you don't get enough protein, you aren't getting enough Leucine, an amino acid building block of muscle. When you don't get enough Leucine you get a buildup of subcuteanous fat, that fat particularly in the abdomen.

(Deficiency in Leucine, in part, = Thick Middles)

Protein is important in regulating blood sugar,
hunger pangs & the cravings!

In studies, 

Leucine caused a 16% DECREASE in calorie intake -

81% in between meal snack

50% energy increase in less than 48 hours!

In the clinical studies of the Shakes I use, participants maintained 100% muscle mass while reducing their weight and their clothing size - this means they were BURNING FAT!

What I wear to work...or not.

Me, under the blazer during
engine rebuild.

When going to work, it is important to have your business face on and FEEL like you are going to work. When I'm not out under a vehicle or helping Tim rework something in the engine, I like to look the part. Proper framework for my attire assists me in looking and feeling the part.

Recently, I realized it was time to rework the wardrobe.  Having lost 55 pounds and toned, (Per Phil at Rotary, "you literally, walked your a$$ off")  I needed to look for a good framework for my business attire.  Since Silk Boxers won't cut it under my dresses, I've gone out to purchase my new business panties.

It’s nice to have hips, and energy, again!

It’s been almost 4 years since the last time I was over 200 pounds, but I can still remember what it felt like. More than 4 years ago, I remember what it felt like 12 years ago, when I was over 200 pounds. (Lifeless and useless)

I remember having no energy, being miserable and feeling as if I was always depriving myself when I tried to lose weight. I tried the grapefruit diet, the cabbage diet, the South Beach diet, and many others. I would lose a few pounds, or even 20, then gain it back. After a week or two, if I lasted that long, I would become frustrated and give up because I felt as if I was missing out on the things I loved!

Each time I began to lose weight, I noticed my energy levels dropping until I would give up on the “diet of the month” and would gain back what I had lost plus some. No FUN riding the yo-yo.

After my last jump to 200+ pounds and my daughter was born, I began using the Cinch program and was so surprised at my fast weight loss! I discovered I had more energy than ever! The weight began dropping off at a steady rate, but more than that my clothes began dropping off, literally. I needed a belt to hold up pants that had fit before the pregnancy!

Tonight, I was playing with my 4 year old in the living room. I was using the hula-hoop and she was bouncing a balloon of it while I twirled it around my waist. I kept that hoop going through the whole length of my favorite song, “I’ve Got a Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas.

My husband really enjoys my newly defined hips, but I was excited to be able to hula like I did when I was young!

If you would like to have hips and energy again, contact me, so we can get you staged & off and racing!
