3 Steps to Create a Weight Loss Machine

If you are like me when I started trying to lose weight and you are wondering where to start in the weight loss journey then you are not alone. Today we are going to create a weight loss machine that will start burning calories that will strip the pounds off with ease. We are going to make it uber simple for you to create your own weight loss machine that can be fed as quickly or as slowly as you would like. Please check out these 3 simple steps to start your weight loss journey.  

1. Nutrition
Nutrition is the single greatest step to create a weight loss machine because if you have no fuel for the machine then the machine is pointless and can't run. I have recently delved into the Mediterranean Diet because it is lower in salt and my body needs to consume a lot less sodium in my day. The Mediterranean Diet focuses on protein from leaner options like fish, turkey, protein shakes and plants in order to build the muscle and burn the fat. The first thing to do is figure out which body type you are because you will need a specialized diet for your body type. (CLICK HERE for a FREE body type calculator!) The next thing is to go to Google and type in your body type, mine is endomorph, and type in the words, 'best diets,' and Google will give you options for the diets that work best for your body type. 

2. Workout
The workout is the next step in importance for weight loss because there has to be a way for your body to get rid of the extra weight and fat. We will be fueling the body with your fat and it is possible to build muscle while losing weight, contrary to popular opinion. You need to know your body type and go to Google and type in your body type and then type in, 'best workouts,' and Google will give you options for your body type. Again, I am an endomorph. This means that I have a large frame that burns body fat and builds muscle quickly. I have to workout really hard to get the machine going. This means that I have to build muscle with calisthenics or weightlifting or work on HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) to whip my body into shape. Once you know your workout you should research the frequency of how many times per week you're supposed to workout. The more muscle you have the quicker you burn through the fat layers

3. Sleep
The last step after the nutrition and workout is SLEEP. You MUST sleep in order to allow your body to repair itself. Most people will require about 8 hours of sleep. Some people need more. I had to adjust my schedule and my body had to get used to sleeping more than the 4-6 hours of sleep that I got per night. When you sleep and dream, you are having REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep that is some of the deepest restorative and repairing sleep that you can have. You will know that you have the REM sleep because you will wake up rested and you will enjoy dreams in this state of sleep. Make sure that you have enough support behind your head and upper body to make sure that your body is fully oxygenated when you are asleep. Sleep is so important that the other steps will fall flat if you don't sleep enough. 

I really hope that you implement these three easy steps to create a weight loss machine that will burn fat off quicker than you think. I have used Gemini AI to help track my food that I ate, frequency of my workouts and how much I slept. Whatever information you put into Gemini, the AI gets better and will help you track your weight loss. If you get hurt or have a cheat day you shouldn't have, Gemini will help you get back on track.

Secrets to Busting the Weight Loss Plateau

Have you ever been doing a diet and losing weight like crazy, and suddenly your weight loss grinds to a halt and it leaves you questioning whether you're doing weight loss wrong? I think that everyone that has seriously tried and attempted to lose weight has come across this same problem and a grand majority don't know what to do about it. When your body halts to a stop when you're doing everything right that you have always done to lose weight, what are you supposed to do? Today we are going to discuss and talk about the secrets to busting the weight loss plateau! Let's get started!

1. Efficiency: What happens to your body when you start losing weight and getting into a routine that makes your body shrug it off like its nothing? What happens is that your body is working more efficiently and you will need to adjust your body to do more working out and using more energy than the energy that you get from your food. When you use the energy of the body, your body will start to make more because all of the energy was expended. 

2. Nutrition: Increases in protein and fiber need to happen more often than not because protein and fiber will keep you satiated and will keep you feeling full for longer amounts of time. If you're wanting to lose weight, then you need to increase your muscle mass. Muscle is what burns your extra fat. This is why you see these really obese people working out and suddenly they shed huge amounts of weight. Supplementing with protein shakes and doing weightlifting or HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is how to kick your body into using more fat for energy and busting the weight loss plateau.  

3. Hydration: Believe it or not, your body will hold onto more water and suck up as much as it can handle if you are depriving yourself of water and are not hydrating like you should be. Hydration will help your body let go of water weight and shed a lot of extra weight that you didn't know that you had to shed. If your body is 75% water, then guess how much water it takes to continually keep your body running at peak performance. A LOT! Drink enough water and it will boost your energy as well.  

4. Calories: You wouldn't believe how many calories the average obese person drinks in a day from sugary coffee, soda, teas and alcohol. The average obese person drinks 450-900+ calories per day and you could cut these to almost under 100 if you drink flavored sparkling waters like Waterloo or Bubly because they still give you the same fizz without the sugary calories. I love San Pelegrino with some lemon in it as it keeps my kidney stones from forming new ones while breaking down the ones that are already there. The average obese person eats 2,500-4,500 calories per day. If it takes a caloric deficit of 3,500 calories in order to burn 1 pound of fat, then you must find ways of cutting calories in order to safely lose 1-3 pounds of fat per week. 

5. Cheat: Having a cheat day to eat and drink a couple of foods and drinks that you normally wouldn't drink or eat on your diet can help with busting the weight loss plateau because it helps your body enjoy good hormones from rewarding yourself for being on your diet. Remember to keep a hold on the cheat day so that it doesn't spiral into an out-of-control binging day. I have experienced that I have the will and power to keep going in my diet if I give myself a cheat day every other week to break up the monotony. 

Implementing these secrets to busting the weight loss plateau will have you plunging right back into your weight loss and diet with greater passion and fervor. I have hit so many plateaus in my weight loss journey over the years and its generally a good thing that you have hit a plateau. It means that your body has adapted enough to the current conditions and minor adjustments get you back on track. Please share this with a friend or family member that you know needs help busting the weight loss plateau!
