A few words of advice from Amy:
*Your dinner should consist of a protein, (fish, chicken, lean beef, lean pork, bison etc..) as many veggies as you would like & a fat source (avocado, coconut oil, olive oil etc..) ONLY. SKIP the grains, breads, white potatoes, tortillas, rice etc…
*ZERO night eating. Once the dinner is over the kitchen is CLOSED. Intermittent periods of fasting will help you lose weight. Be DONE at 6:30 with dinner and give your body a 12 hour fast.
*INTENSITY is key to weight loss. Don’t just do long slow cardio… Do 5-8 one minute “fast” intervals to rev that metabolism.
*Start your day with ACV or lemon in a tall glass of water.
*JUICE – carrot / apple juice is AWESOME for your gut health which is directly related to your overall health.
*Eat protein at all 3 meals. Try to eat animal protein at least 2 times per day.
*Eat your meals at planned times. Intermittent snacking will only lead to weight gain. Let your digestive system have a break in between meals.
*Get outside. The mountains, trails, parks & roads are my therapy. Soak up some vitamin D and take your workouts outside. Mostly on the weekends!
*SLEEP – aim for at least 7-9 hours per night.
*Circuit training will help you get lean & mean! Running & circuit combo’d together does amazing things for your fitness!!
