No, it will not be easy, but we can rely on each other to achieve it together… The goal is to do our best until March 15th. What can you deliver in a month?
Meet me 10min prior to the classes I teach at The Fit and Well Club, and let’s start together in the journey into a ketogenic diet. In which means: inducing the body to burn body fat as energy source by focusing on healthy fats intake, protein and very little amount of carbohydrates.
It is very important to understand I’m not talking about calories restriction, But carbohydrates restriction. The suggestion is: two to three meals a day, no snacks in between. Start the day with intermittent fasting. Every time you sit down to eat, in a scale from 0 to 5, being 5 the fullest, you will stop at 3. In a ketogenic diet, your plate should look like this:
20% carbohydrates options that have low glycemic index: berries, chickpeas, orange, nectarines, peaches, Pumpkin, squash, butternut squash, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, quinoa, beans, and lentils…
30-40% protein: grass fed meat, pasture raised eggs, pasture raised chicken, wild caught fish, sardines, anchovies, scallops, bison, lamb, pork…
40-50% of your plate loaded with healthy fats: coconut, avocado, olives, nuts (macadamia, Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts), flaxseeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, super dark chocolate, grass fed meat, pasture raised eggs, pasture raised chicken, wild caught fish…
Make sure to include non starchy veggies: arugula, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, garlic, kale, red peppers, spinach, asparagus, bean sprouts, celery, collard greens, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, lkettuce, escarole, mushrooms, mustard greens, okra, onions, parsley, spaghetti squash, swiss chard, watercress, zucchini…
We had our first meeting last Monday, and this are the goals we first agreed:
1) The goal is to focus on a one month challenge. It will end by March 15th,
2) We have a 5 days period of adaptation.
3) We will be chatting, exchanging experiences, and supporting each other with the meetings before the classes, and at a WhatsApp group.
These recommendations are based on my own experience when loosing weight after pregnancy, and with the clients that trusted, and persuaded my guidelines. Intense study, and consistent research. It is important to understand that one recipe doesn’t apply to all, but if you look deeper into what Im suggesting, you will see overall gains into health, and wellness.
Hopefully I will see you tomorrow at 8am for a 45min Low Impact and Conditioning Workout Energy Boost. I will be playing Reggaetón, so the party is guaranteed. At 12pm join me for a 30min Chair Workout, and at 4pm Pilates with Manuella Barros.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
