Let’s start 2017 with a BANG!

– The FVT Team

FVT Total Body Cleanse and Weight Loss Plan (print this out!)

2017 is right around the corner!

Hope the Holiday season has been great for you and your loved ones.

If you got a little off track with your healthy eating and workout plan over this last month or so, I have the perfect article for you today. I’m going to outline my simple total body cleanse and weight loss plan to help you get 2017 started right.

Now my approach to this is a little different that others you may have seen. This is a reasonable approach that focuses simply on eating healthier and exercising more consistently. No weight loss pills or juice fasting or anything even remotely close ????

BUT – if you follow this to a “T” – I can assure you’ll see and feel some amazing improvements within days of starting!

FVT Total Body Cleanse and Weight Loss Plan – Diet

First, take your weight and multiply it by 10-12. This is the amount of calories you’re going to consume per day. If you are active and fairly lean already, shoot for the higher side of the range. If you are more sedentary and know your body fat is on the high side, go for the lower end.

Divide your calorie intake into four or five small meals, evenly spread throughout the day.

Your big focus is going to be LESS calories, MORE nutrients. Make sure every single thing that you eat has a purpose!

Example – soda, cookies, cake = lots of calories, few nutrients. Kale, almonds, an apple = few calories, lots of nutrients.

More points to focus on:

– Make sure you are including a lean protein source with each meal.
– Make veggies your #1 source of carbohydrate. You can also include some fruits but try not to go overboard.
– Cut out ALL of your processed carbohydrate. This includes things like crackers, cookies, etc.
– Have a small amount of good fat – like nuts, olive oil, avocado – with each meal.
– All non-naturally occurring sugar should also be eliminated. (Some fruit – fine. Soda – not fine.)

FVT Total Body Cleanse and Weight Loss Plan – Workout

The workouts you do during this time period are going to depend on your goals.

The main thing is to choose a intelligently designed plan that is geared towards what you are trying to do – fat loss, lean muscle gain, etc. – and be consistent with it.

I recommend four to five days of structured training per week, and two to three days of “easy”, fun activity – like hiking, biking, etc.

FVT Total Body Cleanse and Weight Loss Plan – Additional Considerations

A few other things that will help you lose weight and get you feeling great faster:

– Track your food intake using something like MyFitnessPal, so you can test and tweak as you go.
– Drink at least 1/2 of your body weight in oz of water per day.
– Cut out or greatly minimize alcohol and caffeine.
– Get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
– Get with a fitness pro in your area to put you on the fast track to success.

That’s it. Follow that plan to start 2017, and let me know about your results.

And really, this is the lifestyle you should be leading ALL the time … so who knows, develop some good habits through this, and maybe you’ll just want to keep going!

PS – Getting with a trainer really is THE way to fast track your results.

You get expert guidance, and someone to tell you right away if you are taking the correct approach.

Not only that, one of the biggest benefits about a place like FVT is being in a positive environment where there are other people trying to achieve the same goals you are.

It makes it easy to succeed and hard to fail!!

Our Underground Fat Destroyer Chalenge is kicking off next Tuesday – it’s the perfect way to get our help in reaching your goals.

“I know what to do, I’m just not doing it”

We recently did an email survey, and asked what people’s #1 obstacle was, in terms of reaching their fat loss goals.

The most common response by far was that diet was the thing holding them back.

But then – when I ask WHY people are not eating in a way that consistently supports all the hard work they are doing in the gym – I commonly get this response:

“I know what to do, I’m just not doing it.”

Um, okay.

Personally I find that a little frustrating.

Because even if you KNOW what to do … if you are not losing fat, or getting the results you want … that means that you have to DO something about it, if you want to change.

And the statement:

“I know what to do, I’m just not doing it.”

–and the MINDSET behind it – does not serve you in a productive way.

ACTION and DOING SOMETHING to reach your goals is what DOES serve you.

For example – using guidelines like the ones below to build a diet that is tailored towards your goals, preferences, and habits:

#

Underground Fat Destroyer Challenge – Nutrition Guidelines

–Log your food every day using MyFitnessPal. Shoot for about 10 calories per pound of body weight per day to start, and adjust up or down as needed as you go. (Example – 150 person would eat 1500 calories per day to start.)

– Shoot for a mix of about 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein and 30% fat. A simple way to do this is think about building each meal with 1) a protein 2) a carbohydrate (veggie or fruit) and 3) a healthy fat.

– Keep it simple. Plan out your days / weeks ahead of time, and eat the same meals most of the time.

– Eat four to five times per day – whatever fits your schedule and total calorie target best.

– Drink half of your body weight in oz of water per day. (Example – 150 pound person would drink 75 oz of water each day.)

– Once per week, eat whatever you want (within reason). The physiological AND psychological benefit of this is HUGE … so don’t skip your “cheat day”! ENJOY the foods you’ve been thinking about all week – and you’ll have a much easier time sticking to the plan the other 90% of the time.

#

And THEN adding accountability elements – such as logging your food, weighing in every week, tweaking what you are doing based on results until you reach your goals …

If you are SERIOUS about making a change, THIS is the kind of process you need to be going through.

So PLEASE – if you are struggling to lose fat or make progress towards your fitness goals … think about it next time before you say “I know what to do, I’m just not doing it” –

Because that statement – and the mindset behind it – does not serve you, if you are serious about making a change.

To your success! –

Meet Pam!

Just a little over two years ago, Pam was 53 pounds heavier than she is now.

Not only was she unhappy with how she looked and felt, her health was also suffering. She was on blood pressure meds, and knew things were only going to get worse unless she took charge of her situation.

She got started by simply eating less and moving more.

She made healthier food choices, and walked every day.

And she lost almost 30 pounds on her own!

But she ended up hitting a plateau, and knew that she needed to get on a more regimented program to keep progressing.

Pam first tried joining a big box gym and taking some of the group exercise classes.

They were okay – but the attention to form, the level of coaching, and the personal support that she was looking for was simply not there.

And that’s why she contacted us at FVT!

Pam has TRULY made a transformation in the last 18 months since she started working with us.

She’s lost over 20 more pounds, and has gone from a size 10 to a size 4.

She’s off the blood pressure meds.

She’s gone from not being able to do a single push up, to being able to do 10 in a row with perfect form.

And she recently completed her first Spartan Race, which was something she NEVER thought she would do.

In Pam’s words:

“I attribute my continued weight loss and more important than the scale, the way I look in my clothes, to weight lifting (whether body weight or kettlebells) in your Boot Camp. I would have never gotten there without your instructors guidance and continued support. And their senses of humor and belief in me even when I didn’t have that myself.

Before I started at FVT, I had never seen my triceps or side-abs. I love the way I look and more than that how strong I feel inside and out!”

We are so proud of you Pam!

Seeing you not only reach your health and weight loss goals, but also improve your life in such a big way is SO AMAZING!!!

We are so grateful to have you as a client and friend, and here’s to your continued success!
