Steps for Fat Loss:
Give Up Sugar: Cutting out sugar helps regulate insulin levels, reduces cravings, and leads to quick weight loss. The first week can be tough, but once detoxed, your body levels out and you'll feel better.
Prioritize Protein: Eat two larger meals each day with 30 grams or more of protein, along with sufficient vegetables to keep fiber levels high. Protein helps build muscle, supports fat loss, and keeps you full.
Eat Smaller Meals in the Evening: Opt for smaller meals at dinner, like a protein-packed soup, which will keep you satisfied without weighing you down at night. This strategy also helps maintain a calorie deficit.
Simplify Your Meals: Stick to the same meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout the week. This eliminates decision fatigue, keeps your macros in check, and makes meal planning and shopping easier.
Incorporate Healthy Fats: Include healthy fats (like coconut oil) in your meals to fuel your brain, keep you full, and support fat loss.
Get Quality Sleep: Prioritize sleep to reduce cortisol levels. Lack of sleep increases stress, makes it harder to lose fat, and disrupts hunger hormones (leptin and ghrelin).
Manage Stress: Lower your stress levels to keep your hormones balanced. Chronic stress leads to higher cortisol, making fat loss more difficult.
Maintain Gut Health: Eat fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and dill pickles to support a healthy gut. A healthy gut helps with digestion and fat loss.
Keep Moving: Stay active to help regulate cortisol levels and keep fat loss on track. Incorporate regular movement, whether through strength training, walking, or other forms of exercise.
Practice Mindful Eating: Be mindful of portion sizes and avoid mindless snacking. Having a plan for meals and snacks helps prevent overeating and keeps you on track with your fat loss goals.
These steps, combined with consistency, will help with fat loss and overall health!
Recipe for Sugar-Free Chocolate Truffles:
Ingredients:
1 cup Good Sam no-sugar-added chocolate chips (sweetened with allulose)
1 tsp coconut oil (optional, helps with melting)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat preferred)
1 capful of vanilla extract
Zest of 1 orange (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time until smooth (about 1 minute 20 seconds).
Temper the Chocolate: Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate into the Greek yogurt to avoid seizing. Start with a small amount of chocolate, mix it in, then slowly add the rest.
Flavor It: Add the vanilla extract and orange zest, stirring well to combine.
Form Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture onto a lined baking sheet (use nonstick foil or parchment paper).
Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for about 1-2 hours or until firm.
Optional Decoration: Drizzle with more melted chocolate or sprinkle with crushed berries for an added touch.
Store: Keep the truffles in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for a longer-lasting treat.
These truffles are a great way to enjoy a guilt-free chocolate fix while keeping your sugar intake in check!
