Here are 10 tips for living the KSFL lifestyle
1. STOP eating sugar -including fruit juices and sports drinks that contain HFCS, honey, and agave - the body treats all of these “healthy” sugars AS sugar in the body. Elevating your fat storing hormones, increasing cravings & leading to weight gain.

2. Eat healthy fats including coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass fed organic butter - Try Irish Kerrygold

3: Eliminate gluten. This includes bread, cereal, and pasta - Remember Gluten free food like freefoam is almost as bad as actually eating gluten.

4: Eliminate grains & grain derived oils such as corn, soy, and canola. Also remove unstable polyunsaturated oils such as walnut, flax, and peanut oil.

5. Eat locally produced meat from your local butcher or grass fed meat grass-fed meat plus pair lots of fish, eggs, and shellfish.

6: Remove all processed, homogenised, and pasteurised dairy. 

Don’t worry about calcium you can get your calcium by eating greens at every meal. That's plenty of calcium every day.

7: Limit fruits but eat plenty of green vegetables

8: Cook your food gently using a slow cooker incorporate water into your cooking whenever possible and use low temperatures. Bin the microwave.

9: Stop snacking - 3 good meals about 4/5 hours apart is perfect to regulate blood sugars and balance hormones.

10: It’s not about counting calories or points or calories in v calories out its all about understanding the effect different foods have on hormones. The quality of the food you eat is paramount to your fatloss success.

The Kick Start Fat Loss Programme can look overwhelming for a beginner & so different from what you thought you knew about eating healthy.  So much of my advice Kick Start  appears to go against “traditional”  nutritional advice that you may get from your GP or even the NHS.

There is so much new research on fatloss, nutrition, health and exercise and the government guidelines haven't changed since the 80’s.

The food pyramid hasn’t changed for decades and is outdated and pretty ineffectual. 

Start by taking baby steps and change one thing at a time. 

The first thing to get right is breakfast,  ditch cereals unless you want to put on more weight & constantly be craving sugar?

And you really don’t want that... Do you? 

ALL CEREALS. 

I repeat 

ALL CEREALS however they are marketed, even if they are marketed as healthy & for weight loss are FULL of hidden addictive sugars and e numbers. One of the worst being Special K.  You will keep craving dish after dish.  

Eat lean protein for breakfast to balance your hormones and bloods sugars. 

Eggs cooked  any way - Omelet/Boiled/Poached even fried in coconut oil are perfect. 

It does take a while to shift your breakfast mindset into ditching the toast & cereals and going for meat, eggs, 

or a stir fry or if you can't stomach it go for a healthy homemade greens juice. 

Also, Beware of too much fruit as your breakfast. Fruit contain sugars /fructose.  This will elevate your fat storing hormones & you will crave sugar through the day. 

As we head towards Christmas and the end of the year lets finish 2016 STRONG. Its never too late to start.

You don't have to feel like you have a fat loss mountain to climb 

Try it for a week and see how eating a protein rich breakfast fills you up so much more.

You shouldn't need to eat again for at least 4/5 hours.
