 Work your way towards a healthier lifestyle, one new habit at a time!

We all have goals. And while those goals are going to be vastly different, varying from person to person, one thing will remain the same: To reach your goals, you must develop habits that will help you get there. If you’re actively working towards something, chances are good that you’ve already developed some habits. But, if we’re being honest, many of us admit that we still aren’t working to our full potential. I know I’m guilty of this, so I’m constantly searching for ways to do better and be better. This is how I came across habit stacking!

Try our 4 Step Weight Loss Challenge for 30 days and transform your body for a lifetime. These steps are easy to understand, free of charge and accessible to all ages & fitness levels.

Step 1 – Water

1. Drink approximately 2 liters, or 8 eight ounce glasses, of water each day. Feel free to add sliced fruit to your water for added flavor.

2. Flush The Fat Away Drink recipes are great alternatives to plain water. Since processed fruit drinks are high in sugar content, it’s recommended that this type of drinks be limited or avoided completely over the next 30 days. If you do choose to drink fruit-flavored drinks, read the ingredients label and avoid any beverages that contain sugar or other added sweeteners.

3. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs and carries nutrients to your cells. Even mild dehydration can zap energy. Water is vital for optimal health!

Step 2 – Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners

1. Avoid all refined sugar and artificial sweeteners.

2. Read ingredient labels on packaged foods to eliminate any foods that contain these. Almost all processed foods have some form of added sugar. This means that whole foods will be the biggest part of your diet over the next 30 days. To understand in full what is meant by no added sugar, read our 30-Day No Sugar Challenge.

3. Limit unrefined sweeteners to less than four teaspoons, per day. Read our list of 10 Alternatives to Refined Sugar which can count toward the 4 teaspoons. In addition to the 4 daily teaspoons of unrefined sweetener, stevia is also permitted during this weight loss challenge.

4. If there is a food product with an unrefined sugar in the ingredients label, i.e. honey, maple syrup, etc., there is no way to know how much has been added. Therefore, these food items should not be consumed during this weight loss challenge. The only way to know that you have had the allotted 4 teaspoons of unrefined sweetener in one day is to measure them yourself.

5. Review Other Names for Sugar which will help you to become better informed when reading ingredient labels.

Step 3 – Portion Control

1. All meals should be eaten on salad size plates instead of traditional dinner plates. These plates are approximately 7-inches in diameter.

2. When eating at a restaurant, ask that your meal be served on a salad plate.

3. When eating soups or stews, follow the 1 serving size, which is typically 1 to 1 1/2 cups. 

4. Read the Skinny Plate Challenge for more information on portion sizes.

5. Portion sizes of foods must be no larger than the palm of your hand. That means that ‘normal’ restaurant portions have to be cut down in size in order to fit on your salad plate. (This is one of my best tips for losing weight.)

A Few Simple Steps

First, choose your fruit. Do you like the vibrant tang of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries? Maybe you prefer a tropical infusion of banana and pineapple. It’s your call. Mix up your favorite fruits. Then, select a liquid. Do you prefer the smoothness of coconut milk? Maybe you need a dash of caffeine from iced coffee. Some of you like the refreshing addition of clear water. Remember that you’ll be adding a creamy texture later, so if you choose a lighter liquid, feel free to complement it with a creamier ingredient.

Now, think about which nutritional powerhouses you’ll need for the day. Choose your veggie and your energy boost while thinking of what you’ve been lacking in your diet lately, or what might help you to feel better as the day goes on. And, of course, that extra dash of sweetness and flavor make all the difference. Choose your natural sweetener and dash of healthy flavor to finish off your perfect smoothie!

 Recently, after spending one evening enjoying a long, leisurely rooftop dinner with friends—the July weather balmy but not oppressively hot—unbeknownst to me, I was being preyed on by a particular summertime pest. In the morning when I woke up, I noticed that I was covered from the knees down in pink, blotchy mosquito bites that grew itchier by the minute.
