Emotional and Physical Changes
When we look at the images of
Amanda, despite she looks slimmer on every picture, as time goes by, she
appears more confident and happier. We can see physical revolution in her
appearance such as thinner neck, flatter tummy and smaller waist. The young woman started to look more

Amanda’s 3 Secret for Weight Loss
She didn’t starve herself, didn’t
run a marathon and didn’t go for crash and yo yo diet. Instead, she took a
steady and gradual weight loss process.
1.She consumed a high protein diet
This
type of diet is crucial to lose weight on a healthy way. Nutrition rich in lea
protein lowers bad cholesterol levels (LDL), prevents obesity, osteoporosis
and diabetes. If you are trying to get rid of the stubborn belly fat, you
definitely have to increase the intake of protein.
How does protein works?
Proteins
take longer to metabolize and use because they are harder to digest. So, when
you burn them, you lose energy. They leave you satiated and make you feel
fuller for a long time. The consumption of a lot of protein makes you built
muscle mass and burn fat where you will look more toned.
Complete proteins
Whole protein contains all the
nine amino acids that build the muscles. These proteins have to be consumed in
large quantities.
- Pork tenderloin
- Lean beef
- Low fat diary (cheese, yogurt, milk)
- Seafood
- Eggs
- Skinless turkey or white chicken
Vegetarians
have to consume the following plant source of whole protein
- Buckwheat
- Quinoa
- Hemp seed
When
you consume incomplete proteins, you have to pair them to achieve the best
results:
- Beans with brown rice
- Whole wheat bread with peanut butter
- You should consume from 0.5 to 1 gram of protein for every pound f your weight If you are less dynamic stay less, if you are active aim to 1 gram.
- Consume breakfast rich in protein which will give fuel to your muscles after a night of fasting.
2.She controlled her food portions
If
you control your portions, it doesn’t mean that you will be food deprived. You
will only distribute the food in a healthy way. This way might challenge your
mentality and existing patterns, but it is one of the best ways to get rid of
the extra pounds.
You
have to consume 3 meals and between them 2 healthy snacks. You don’t have to
eat fat because your brain will nor register when you are full. Let your meal
lasts longer and try to enjoy smaller courses.
To
get a visual perception of a larger meal, use smaller plates. Consume foods
rich in fiber an water ( whole grains, fruits, vegetables).
3.Amanda engaged in moderate exercises
It
is the best to engage in exercise if you want to lose weight. It is not a good
idea to practice vigorous exercises. You have to do moderate exercises because
if you exercise a lot, you will feel more hunger and you will consume more
food.

walking, waling etc. You can find some professional strategies to shed stubborn
