Lipolysis Diet: Lose Up to 2lbs Per Week

In some of my previous blogs, I wrote about the weight loss plan I had created for myself when I was in my late 20's when I was studying for my bachelor's in healthcare. Finding the diet quite successful, this was my go-to plan right before summer started. After some tweaking here and there, I eventually called it the Lipolysis Diet, which still seems to work better than anything else I have ever come across or tried.  I understand that "lifestyle choice" is better than a diet, however most people, including myself have to eat food occasionally. Like most people I know who accidentally fall face first into the middle of a buffet table during the winter, I find myself 5lbs, or even 10lbs heavier by springtime. Thus the diet!
I was recently asked by several people to make a simple chart to follow. Feel free to copy and print out the menu plan and the list.

One more point I have to address is the cleaner the better, go organic whenever possible. You will be disgusted by how much chemical toxins are put into everyday food, not to mention that the thyroid and liver have a tough time functioning properly when GMOs, pesticides, chemicals, and hormones are ingested.

Do what I do to lose fat fast:

The minute I awake, I drink water. Before I exercise, I consume an Access shake or Bar because it helps me burn more fat when I exercise. I exercise Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and sometimes Saturdays; as long as it is over 3 hours of moderate-intense exercise per week. A Proflex shake after my workout keeps my muscle tone. I use Creatine and BCAA as well. I trust the ingredients of this specific brand (message me to find out more); it also tastes good, and it is cost effective.

Before breakfast, I drink a cup of straight black coffee or warm tea to increase my metabolism. Hibiscus tea, green tea, oolong tea, white tea, black tea, fruit tea, and other herbal teas are wonderful additions to this diet as it increases the metabolism and aids in fat burn.

For breakfast I eat a lot of food. Do I really measure verbatim? I will tell you honestly the food measurements are just approximate, more guidelines to follow than precise quantities. I find that as long as the sugar/carbs stay as low as possible all is good and the fat just keeps melting off. After a good workout, I have my fill of black beans, meat, eggs, a tiny bit of complex carbohydrates and the occasional grapefruit if I am really hungry.  If I don't work out, I have a smaller breakfast with just eggs, meat, vegetables and beans. My favorite is huevos rancheros with green salsa (no tortilla), or a non-potato breakfast burrito wrapped with corn tortillas or egg white wraps. Corn tortillas are the rule I break every now and again. However, I don't eat biscuits, muffins, or other simple-carb bombs because these items prevent me from burning fat. In fact, carb bombs do the opposite and pack on the pounds quickly. Carb bombs also enhance the nasty cravings and the propensity to make excuses on diet sabotage food items. 

I sometimes get cravings for the junk so I grab a GC Control to stabilize blood sugar and minimize my cravings. I also may grab an Attain Bar to kill any cravings or a Fiberwise Bar to fill me up until the next meal. I find that this diet puts my metabolism in hyper-drive so I am constantly ravenous. This is normal as the body is going through its Lipolysis stages.
 

Lunch is usually a salad. I cook wild caught salmon or trout often, or have a grilled chicken breast. Occasionally I will have open-faced sandwiches stacked high with ham, turkey, spinach, avocado, and cottage cheese. I use whole grain bread with nuts and oats, or will make my own bread using cauliflower and almond flour.  Cobb salad, fajita bowls, chicken wraps, and even pizza with cauliflower crust are other options. Sometimes I find myself out and stuck in a fast-food line so I get a bunless burger, hard shelled tacos, or a lettuce wrap and a sugarless tea. 

Snacks are simple and easy, perhaps an Attain Bar or just celery with peanut butter. I may also have cheese and crackers as a quick treat.  

I try to eat dinner early, about 5pm or so.  I do get hungry around 8pm, but if I hit my pillow early I do not feel the urge to eat again.  I usually have something light with a lot of vegetables. A small slice of meatloaf with green beans and a side salad, or perhaps chicken stir-fry. Zucchini lasagna, stuffed bell peppers, fajitas wraps, or even taco salads are other great options. The only rule to remember is to follow the list. In other words, only consume the foods which are on the list.
