Hello Dear One!

If you’re not in my social media family you may not know that I celebrated my birthday last month.

And if you’re not you may not know that there was a LOT of celebrating that happened all around my big day.

Because of that I thought to share how I aimed to minimize the impact of more cocktails, larger meals and CAKE over the course of MANY days.

A few things that helped in the effort.

#1. DAILY FAT BURNING BEHAVIORS

For real!

I drill this into my fat burners because it sets the body up to succeed regardless of what’s going on!

What are they?

– Bulletproof coffee in the morning and intermittent fasting along with it.
(listen to a call on the matter here – scroll down homepage until visible)

– worked out in a fasted state

– USANA shake & bar for lunch

– USANA supplements (fat burning specific) 2xs/day

What do these things do?

Namely the first two make the body more insulin sensitive (easier to lose weight and harder to gain it), and my holy lunch reinforces the mode of fat burning with being less hungry and not having cravings (SCORE!).

#2.  FAT BURNING MASTERY BONUS DRINKING TECHNIQUE

You’ve hear it before, which is why I included it in a bonus so fat burners could feel their drink of choice faster, while imbibing less.

Check out the demo on that here.

#3.  EAT CARBS LAST

In order of importance:

 – vegetables
– protein
– fat
– then carbs

What this will do is put bulk in your belly that contain less calories (vegetables), then slow sugar as it enters your blood stream and therefore your insulin response (protein), and finally give you a fuel that is satisfying and filling (fat).

THEN have carbs!  

Have them for the taste, not because you’re hungry, or to be used as fuel (as they burn quickly).

#4.  GET FULL

Does this seem obvious??

It’s often not.

Frequently people try to, “be good”, even when they’re facing celebratory food they love, which means they often try to eat less of what they might want, or less overall (if this is a multiple day affair).

The the downside of not having your fill and possibly feeling deprived in the process is the mental component which will often DEMAND to be satisfied later with something possibly even more diabolical for the waistline.

AND the other reality is that you’ll probably be HUNGRY later!

And what do we tend to eat later in the night when we’re hungry???

SWEETS. 

SNACKY things that are carbs heavy.

So GET FULL at dinner and be done with it, OR if you do have a misstep and realize you need a bit more before bedtime, make sure it has some fat in it as that will likely get you satisfied faster and undeniably.

#4.  HAVE 2-3+ HOURS BETWEEN EATING AND BED

PLEASE do not eat and directly go to bed.

If you are hungry later at night try to make a point to hang with yourself after for at least 2-3 hours as that will ensure your Human Growth Hormone (and also Testosterone) levels stay in tact and HIGH which will aid in fat loss, body regeneration, muscle mass retention, a healthy libido, happiness, confidence, and the likelihood of less depression (crazy right??).

So there you are!

A few things that greatly aided in me not being on a total road to ruin with all of the feasting and CAKE eating I got up to mid March.
