Outlined below are the 5 RULES TO FOLLOW TO HELP BLAST BODY FAT and to make this plan work for you.

1. REVAMP YOUR FATS – replace the processed and oxidized oils like canola and peanut oils that fuel inflammation and disease, with high  seed oils like coconut oil, MCT oils, and olive oil.  Also add high quality omega-6 and omega-3 fats into your diet, like organic almonds, Brazil nuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, and macadamia nuts, along with hempseed, chia, sunflower, sesame, flax, safflower, pumpkin, and apricot.
2. REGENERATE YOUR GALLBLADDER – by adding bitter foods into your diet.  Foods like watercress, arugula, kale, mustard greens, dandelion greens, grapefruit, ginger, and dark chocolate.  These will help  to help break down the fats and toxins out of your body, which have been sitting there storing excess weight
3. REFURBISH YOUR MUSCLES – As you get older you experience muscle mass loss called sarcopenia.  In order to restore your muscles you need to increase your consumption of high quality proteins and amino acids into your diet.  Good way to assure you’re getting that extra boost is to add some spirulina into a smoothie and baked goods, as one tbls sports 4 grams of protein.  Women should aim for 58 grams of protein a day.
4. RESTORE YOUR GUT – by adding good bacteria into your gut.  This can be done with a daily Probiotic and by eating probiotic rich foods like sauerkraut and kimchi
5. REDUCE YOUR TOXIC LOAD – by drinking a lot of filtered water (read 6 Reasons Why You Should Drink Water To Lose Weight), by sweating through exercise, making sure you get plenty of zzzzz’s at night, limiting your fish consumption, and eating clean, organic unprocessed foods.
