If you remove all foods high in sugar, starchy veggies, sweet fruits especially the juice, snacking, and half of your carbs especially grains and rice, and then workout with light weights for 30 minutes every other day, the body will build new muscle from the protein and burn fat for energy for the next 12-48 hours after the workout.
Here is my challenging but very effective 3-step fat burning approach:
Step 1:
STOP consuming ALL sugar!
No starchy veggies.
No fruit juice at all and only fruit low in sugar like apples.
No sweets of any kind or any product with any type of sugar or sweetener (OK, some stevia and a little honey is fine).
No alcohol, cookies, candy, cereals, processed foods with added sugar, etc. Nothing with sugar.
Why? Because if your body has simple carbohydrates then it will just use the calories or energy from this source and not bother burning any existing fat reserves.
Don’t bother with further steps until you have completed step #1!
Step 2:
Eat A LOT of vegetables with beans.
Have greens for breakfast, (fried or steamed is fine, even juiced is ok).
Have large salads for lunch and dinner (follow individual body-type recommendations).
Half your plate for each meal should be vegetables!
Prefer raw vegetables and steamed cruciferous vegetables. Why? Because it takes more calories or energy to digest raw vegetables and with their high fiber makes them very cleansing, thus perfect for weight-loss. Easy, eat LOTS of greens!
Juicing vegetables every day helps too but without the fiber it is not as cleansing as fresh veggies. If you have blood sugar issues, focus on dark greens. Celery, kale, parsley, spinach are the best. For a heavier juice with more protein add asparagus, string beans and cauliflower. To sweeten it up use limes not carrots, beets or apples. To replace a meal just add about 6 tablespoons of hemp seeds and a couple teaspoons of freshly ground flax seeds.
Use only vegetable protein, reduce carbohydrates and add healthy oil/fat
Stop all animal protein and replace with legumes: Beans (kapha-type and Pitta-type) and lentils (Vata -type).
Use coconut oil instead of butter, and sunflower oil instead of olive oil
Gradually reduce carbohydrates such as rice and other whole grains to half servings (1/2 of a fist size)
Prefer meals of beans or lentils with lots of veggies and a small portion of whole-grains with a little oil. Why? Your body needs protein to build new muscle and tissue as a result of the light weight training. Both protein and oil (fat) are very satisfying for the body and takes away cravings. Remember, there must be some oil and a good portion protein with each meal. Otherwise, you will become nutritionally deficient and will start craving more carbs, and we know that leads to fast weight gain!
Step 3:
EAT LESS! :Stick to a tight eating schedule
Never eat after 7pm even fruit. Try to eat earlier like 5 or 4.
Drink only water with lemon or herbal teas between meals; no fruit juices etc.
Eat 3 small meals a day or just 2 meals, or just have a salad for dinner. In other words: EAT LESS!
Why? The body burns fat between meal so the longer you can make the space between meals the more fat you will burn. But don’t skip meals even breakfast. Do a late breakfast and early dinner or skip dinner sometimes. No matter what, don’t start snacking on “healthy” snacks. You need to be cooking and preparing two or three complete meals each day. Also don’t start juicing every meal and not using a plate! Cook, prepare, sit down, eat slowly and when you are starting to feel full, stop. Simple.
You may have to work at this for a few weeks or even a month.
Step 4 – Bonus Step
Add some light weight training and/or juice fasting
Do 30 minutes every other day
Do 10 minutes of solid cardio first, like running in place or biking to break a sweat and get your heart rate up
Do at least two sets each and rest 1- 2 minutes in between sets
Each set should be until you have some muscle strain (work up to it).
Do some cardio to warm up and cool down but focus on the weight training to build muscle.
You don’t need a gym to to do this, just run in place, use a step or go up stairs etc. and then lift some weights or some big cans of beans! Just works those muscles!
If you cannot work out everyday, then the next option is to do juice fasts and eat only two meals a day. Make your choice, workout or eat a lot less.
A juice fast will further “force” the body to lose more weight if this type of therapy is suitable or even necessary.
This protocol is the final focus of my weight loss program since good eating habits, food combining and meal planning should be done first. Additionally, a colon cleanse and liver detoxification are absolutely necessary to successfully lose weight and naturally keep it off. Thus, digestion and eliminate must good as well as sleep. Just as important, a person should be nutritionally sound without nutritional deficiencies and have good energy levels before following this program.
