6 Week Body Makeover
Start recording all of the food that you consume on a daily basis. When you see all of the food that you eat, you will be able to better control your food intake. Sometimes people are surprised by the amount of food that they eat in any given day. I know I was!
Don’t worry if you’re not losing as much as you want. This will come with time. If you are not losing weight but sticking to the meal plan and performing the body sculpting, then this means you are gaining lean muscle mass. Lean muscle weights more than fat and you will become thinner once your lean muscle starts burning calories at a faster rate. Even though you might not weigh less, you body will become slim. To test this, try on a pair of jeans that didn’t fit before. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
First of all, start drinking more water. Water will ensure that you are flushing out all toxins and creating a natural flow through your body. Many people think that drinking more water will make them gain weight, but you actually have to drink more water to lose less weight. The Michael Thurmond makeover recommends to drink over 100 oz. of water per day. The best way to do this is by carrying a large water bottle with you at all times and taking sips from your body all day. If you do not like boring water, add low-sodium Crystal light or other natural products to have flavored drink throughout the day. However, make sure that all of your beverages are low in sodium.
Make sure that you’re eating every meal that is recommended in the six week body makeover. The goal of eating more meals is to reprogram your body’s metabolism to burn food at a faster rate. You are tricking your metabolism into thinking that it doesn’t need to store food as energy because there’s an abundance of food.
Lastly, you should be eating meals approximately one to three hours apart. Do not under eat because your body will shut down and go into starvation mode, which will slow down your metabolism. Eat even when you’re not hungry. Keep food near you at all times and carry a small tote bag with some snacks so that you can feed throughout the day. These are just a few tips to ensure that you will have success on the Michael Thurmond 6 Week Body Makeover
6 Week Body Makeover Blue Print
I just took the 6 Week Body Makeover Blue Print and I was labeled as a Body Type B. The Blue Print comes with your body makeover kit and it’s a 48 set questionnaire that asks questions about your diet, daily activity, body type and weight loss goals. Specifically you fill out all the questions and all the questions are categorized with different numbers. The group with the most numbers is your body type. In my case, I am a body type B.
So what is a B body type? A “B” body is someone who has lean muscle mass and is actually quite muscular…sometimes they have too much muscle. Since B type people have more lean body mass, it is easier for them to lose weight as their metabolisms burn faster than the other body types. B bodies should focus more on sculpting the “problem” areas so that they can maximize their fat loss all and increase their metabolisms. Also, the booklet said I can introduce more simple and complex carbohydrates into my diet as I will have an easier time burning these calories. However, I should stay away from red meats as these proteins are more fatty and will make me bulk up. I should eat more lean proteins such as chicken, turkey and fish.
I’m in agreement with these facts and am surprised how close their statements are compared to what I know about my body. The truth is, I have been working out a lot more. In my workouts I weight lift, do cardio and other core exercises. Over my lifetime, I’ve noticed that when I do workout on a regular basis, I’m able to eat more of the fatty foods that I crave and it’s easier to burn those calories off later in the weight. During the winter when I’m more sedentary, I’ve noticed that even if I do try to diet, I gain weight. I believe with my body that I need to focus on gaining lean muscle and retaining that muscle all over my body. The more muscle I have, the easier it is for me to burn calories throughout the day.
My diet right now is really crappy. I tend to eat whatever is front of me and do not carefully think of what I should eat to maximize my fat loss. I’m the type of person that goes through extreme phases. If I’m really trying hard to diet, I won’t eat that much and will count calories…this often leads to failure and I went up right where I started. For example, today I ate two jelly and butter sandwiches, some hard boiled eggs, two ice cream bars and two fried chicken sandwiches. WOW! Just listing out that food surprises me. Did I really eat all that crap!? Except for the eggs, I do not see ANY nutritional value whatsoever.
I’ve always dreamed of having a six-pack and eating the above will not help my cause. I hope that sticking to a food regimine (that I’ll prepare with the 6 week body makeover) will help me lose weight and become a lean mean 6-pack machine. The next time I post, I’ll write my specific diet and body sculpting rountine. Questions about the 6 Week Body Makeover will be answered in the comment box below.
