I Want a Fast-Start Week!

Tips for a quick start to your health & fitness!

One of the best ways to stay motivated in your personal health and fitness is to give yourself a quick start! This is 5 days of eating delicious clean food, low caloric count, and moving for 30 min a day. By the end of the 5 days you feel refreshed, you lose a bit of weight, and you reset your eating habits.

Easy to follow steps:
1. 5 Meals a day: This consists of breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner. Eating 5 meals a day is a great way to get your metabolism moving and keep yourself energized.

2. No C.R.A.P. only F.O.O.D.: Your body has an incredibly difficult time digesting artificial flavorings and chemicals. So give it a reset.

NO Carbonation – Refined Sugar – Artificial Flavoring – Processed food.

What you CAN have is real FOOD!

Fruits & veggies – Organic lean proteins – Omega 3 fatty acids – Drink water.

3. 1100-1300 calories a day (depending on your height/activity level): Don’t be afraid, this looks restricting but I promise you will not go hungry. You are eating healthy food 5 times a day.

Again, this is a 5 day “reset” to clean and refresh. Afterwards it is normal to consume 1600-2000 or more a day (depending on height/weight/activity level).

Here is an example of one day:
Breakfast: Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Snack #1: Apple and Almond Butter
Lunch: Chicken and Hummus Pita
Snack #2: An Orange and some Almonds
Dinner: Steak with Spinach and Baked Potato

4. MOVE: Get up and workout out for 30 min a day. This can be a power walk on the second half of your lunch – a small at home fitness routine. Anything that gets your heart rate up for 30 minutes. If you prefer instruction, my personal favorites are FocusT25 and P90x3.
