Are you fighting against your own body to get more energy and drop fat?

For example, are you downing a Red Bull after lunch to make up for that energy-sucking, soul-crushing burger and fries you had for lunch?

Or are you eating a high-carb breakfast because Tony the Tiger has been in your head since 1986 and you can’t imagine NOT having carbs as part of a “balanced breakfast”?

So much of the way we consume food (thanks to the advertising industry) is counter to the natural ways our bodies work.

Our bodies have particular rhythms that produce the energy we need during the day, but you have to learn to work with those rhythms instead of against them to drop fat and keep it off.

Leverage Your Body’s Natural Rhythms to Lose Fat Fast

In order to understand your body’s day-to-day natural energy cycles and how use them to your advantage, it’s helpful to consider your day in four distinct parts:

Each of these segments of your day need particular inputs from you to maximize your energy levels when you need it the most, and to successfully wind down at the end of the day.

For example, your best and deepest work should be done in the morning. You are NOT going to be thinking straight or have as much mental focus for the things that really move the needle in your business in the afternoon. Leave the afternoon for checking off menial tasks from your to-do list.

Furthermore, in order to have enough energy to get through the afternoon, you need to eat a light lunch of protein and vegetables. The less you eat at lunch, the more productive you’ll be. (Repeat after me.)

In this week’s episode of the Million Dollar Body podcast, I’m going to show you how you can drop fat fast by giving your body the specific inputs it needs to operate at a high level daily.

You’ll learn:

Remember: Small inputs at the right time on a daily basis add up to huge wins. Once you understand how to put these simple habits into place, you’re not only going to drop fat fast, you’re going to be able to keep it off!

Here's a tricky one - you come home from a workout, all endorphin-ed out and feeling great, and your partner hits you with a big time grump. They're not excited for your progress and it's frustrating!

Or maybe they have even said something to you about getting too skinny. 

What should you do then?

Here's a couple do's and don'ts that can help you navigate this situation 

DON'T try to motivate, prod, or TELL your partner what to do.

DON'T guilt trip or criticize

DON'T mention looks or attractiveness

DON'T ask your partner, are you going to eat that (should you be eating so late, are you going to finish that…)

DON'T accuse your partner of sabotage DO clearly communicate how it feels when

DO tell them they have the right to eat whatever they want

DO talk about the effects of being healthier (i.e. not eating out and seeing friends as much)

DO let them take the lead in talking about weight loss/fitness etc

DO make sure conversations are about health, not attractiveness

DO suggest things you can do together (i.e. walks, bike rides, team sports, )

DO talk about the benefit to your family that comes from weight loss

DO find ways to use exercise to be helpful (take kids to the park, out for a walk, yardwork)

On this week’s Million Dollar Body podcast, I’m diving into ALL the goods about pre-workout and post-workout supplements plus what you should eat before and after you work out.

KEY TAKEWAYS

If you're ready for all the ins-and-outs of supplements and when it’s time to use them to get the best results, this podcast is for you!

Some great questions this week out of the Million Dollar Body Community (join here if you're not a member yet: facebook.com/groups/optimalself) 

1. "I have a big family reunion this weekend and I am sure lots of my family will question the new "diet" that I am on.   How do you explain the glycogen priming method in an easy way to someone who has never heard it before to where it would make sense?

2. I was recently talking to a friend of one who is a nurse at the hospital and telling him about eating carbs only at night time in which he questioned that it is completely opposite of what they teach diabetic patients.  They tell them to avoid carbs at night time.  Can you dive into the glycogen priming concept a little more when it comes to dealing with questions about the way we have grown up learning about how we "should" eat according to the American lifestyle and or if it is beneficial for diabetics?

3 .  Can you give a breakdown of the different types of dietary fat and let us know which are really bad, which are not good or bad and which are recommended in our daily diet?

4. All of the various types of protein out there are confusing. Can you break down the difference between a concentrate, an isolate and a hydrolysate (for what) and which protein types  are best for us?

Are you ready to start seeing results at the gym today? In today’s podcast, you’ll hear even more about the 3 commandments of strength training, and the benefits go farther than just muscle gain – I’m talking about mood boosting and improved mental health! Listen to the podcast for more!
