How To Choose Your Grocery:
Grass-Fed Meat: Grass-fed beef has less total fat and therefore fewer calories than grain-fed beef. Grass-fed beef has as much as five times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids while being packed with B vitamins, vitamins A, E, and other antioxidants.
Organic Poultry: Birds that are fed an organic diet free of antibiotics and hormones may produce eggs (or meat) containing more omega-3 fats, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other nutrients.
Plant Based Proteins: Add in Quinoa, Buckwheat, Lentils, Beans and legumes, Soy based products and Nutritional yeast into your diet.
Grass-Fed Dairy: Much healthier than regular milk because of its omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid.
Expected Results After 1 Week:
Energy level is higher than ever experienced.
Your weight will be down anywhere between 2-5 pounds as all the excess water you were retaining has been shredded.
Less food cravings.
Fall asleep easier and wake up less throughout the night.
Less bloating and discomfort along with looking slimmer as well.
Moods become more stable, have less ups and downs and may even start to feel more empowered.
However …
Don’t expect the result to be outstanding just after one week. Be kind to yourself by taking small steps towards reaching your goals as every diet takes time to work out.
