Ever wonder what would happen to your body if you stopped eating refined carbs?
It’s well known that refined and processed carbs contribute to weight gain, and so reducing the amount of these in your diet would logically lead to a leaner, fitter you.
But is it true, or is it hype? And is it really worth giving up your carb-o-holic ways?
Here’s what you can expect when taking a break from refined carbs…
1. You BURN FAT
When you stop eating simple carbs your body no longer has readily available calories to burn, and so it clicks over into burning stored fat as energy. This means that your pants will start feeling looser around your waist and thighs.
2. You FEEL LESS HUNGRY
Fat burns longer and slower than simple carbs and so your energy stores will take longer to deplete. This means that you’ll find yourself skipping that afternoon pick-me-up snack and powering through until mealtime without hunger pains. You’ll also notice that it takes longer to feel hunger in the mornings after waking up, once you’ve cut the simple carbohydrates and refined sugars out of your diet.
3. You HAVE MORE ENERGYLiving on a diet of simple sugars and refined carbohydrates puts your body in a continual energy roller coaster. Right after you eat your energy is high and then, whoosh, an hour later your energy levels crash. All of that changes once you cut out those simple carbs. The low carb meals that you switch to are filled with nutrient dense foods that sustain your energy levels for hours at a time, saving you from that frustrating roller coaster.
4. Your STOMACH GETS FLATTER
Probably the most exciting of the low carb body changes…once you’ve been off of simple carbs for a few weeks your stomach will visibly become flatter. It’s a well-deserved reward and one that will keep you motivated to continue your healthier eating habits.

here’s one simple thing standing between you and your dream body.
One. Simple. Thing.
And here it is…You eat too many calories.
That’s it.
Solve this problem and your dream body will quickly and easily become reality.
And it doesn’t matter if those calories are healthyones. Too many of ANY calorie will result in weight gain.
Want proof?
Kansas State University professor, Mark Haub, ate a diet of pure junk food for 2 months. I’m talking candy bars and packaged snacks – the kinds of things you find in a snack machine.
You’d expect him to gain weight, right?
Well, there was one catch. He was only allowed to eat 1800 calories each day. Yes, those calories were pure junk, but the limit was firmly put at 1800 calories.
Before the experiment, Professor Haub’s typical calorie intake was closer to 2600 calories, so his junk food diet put him at an 800 calorie per day deficit.
Boy, did that calorie deficit pay off! Within 2 months he had dropped 30 pounds, bringing his BMI from overweight down to normal.
No, I’m NOT recommending a junk food diet as your answer for fat loss. What I am pointing out is how powerful a reduction in calories is when it comes to lowering your body weight.

The Trap of HEALTHY
Are you eating a bunch of excess healthy calories?! And then wondering why you aren’t losing weight?
ALL extra calories cause weight gain.
Doesn’t matter if it’s wholesome calories or processed ones.
So, please pay attention to your total calorie intake. It really does matter.
I’d love to help you figure out your ideal calorie range. Call or email me today and we will get started.
So that happened.
Your weekend ended up being one long binge of too much food and drink, and now you feel terrible.
I’m not here to judge – just here to help you pick up the pieces and move on.
Use the following 3 steps to get right back on your feet, and back to eating and exercising right.
1. Draw a line in the sand. Decide here and now that your binge is over. Stop the self-destructive behavior and enlist the support from the important people in your life.
2. Remove the triggers from your home. Clean out the pantry, the freezer and the stash under your bed. Get these unhealthy foods out of your home and out of your way. See these items for what they really are—obstacles that prevent you from getting what you really want out of life.
3. Refocus your goals. Why were you eating healthy and exercising in the first place? Because you have goals. You have a vision of the healthy, fit body that you’re working to achieve. Focus your mind on your most desired goals and unleash your inner work ethic and determination.
It’s time for you to reap all the benefits of a fit and active lifestyle. Let’s go!
