The 1-Minute Weight Loss Cheat Sheet – Quick Shortcuts & Tactics for Busy Women (5 page)

A great thing to pair with your pickle if you are looking for something a little more substantial is the string cheese. The two of them together make an ideal combination. You will get the protein, along with the crunch!

Pickles come in many shapes, sizes, and varieties. When you shop for them, it is important to make sure you don’t buy the ones that have a lot of added sugar or high fructose corn syrup. It is easy, and sometimes tempting, to opt for those jars of pickles, but they will have more calories and will not be the healthy snack you were first going for.

Keep your pickles in the refrigerator for the freshest taste. They also make refreshing snacks on hot days. There’s nothing like biting into a nice juicy and crunchy pickle at snack time!

You have probably heard before that the Mediterranean Diet is one of the healthiest in the world. I have even mentioned it here earlier because it is so healthy (too bad it isn’t great for weight loss). One of the things included in this diet is olives!

When it comes to olives, the most nutritious of the bunch is generally considered to be the black varieties. Black olives are a great source of healthy fats. They also offer the body a natural source of Vitamin E.

Black olives are considered to be healthy for a variety of reasons, including that they contain polyphenols, which are an antibacterial and antifungal. They also help support the immune system and aid the skin in maintaining smoothness.

So for a quick, yet healthy snack, reach for some black olives. A serving is usually around 10 black olives, which is only around 35 calories. They also contain iron. The one thing that you need to watch for when purchasing them is the sodium content. If you can, seek out those with sea salt, but compare the sodium content so that you do not go overboard with the salt.

Black olives are just one
healthier snack option among an array of them. By keeping them on hand, you will have a quick snack option that will not be detrimental to your diet or health. This is especially true if you are craving something salty like chips.

Instead of chips when you crave that salt, grab 10 black olives. You will be doing your body a world of good!

Remember when we mentioned how wonderful berries in general are for your health? It’s true! And it couldn’t be
truer when it comes to the likes of blueberries.

Blueberries have to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They are small, sweet, and loaded with nutrition. They have antioxidants that will help to keep your body healthy and humming along nicely.

Not only are blueberries a healthy snack, but they are also a convenient one. You can pick them yourself, depending on where you live, buy them fresh, and even buy them frozen. There is just no excuse for not having blueberries in your life.

When it comes to popularity, there is only one berry that beats out blueberries, and that is strawberries. But when it comes to nutrition, most would agree that blueberries have a big edge on strawberries. Among all fruits and vegetables, blueberries are believed to have the highest capacities of antioxidants.

Blueberries are also low on the glycemic index, so they will not spike your blood sugar levels. You can eat a cup of them, feel great, and not hurt your diet or health. In fact, you will be helping your body out. A lot!

Just like with the grapes, if you can get organic, that is the best route to take. However, finding organic blueberries is not always possible, or affordable. If that is the case, be sure to wash them thoroughly before using them to try to get some of the pesticide residue off.

Blueberries are a great source of vitamin K, manganese, vitamin C, and fiber. And one serving of blueberries, which is a cup, is only around 85 calories. That’s a snack that is hard to beat in terms of health and the return on what you get out of it nutritionally!

So, now you have a list of 15 healthy snacks that you can turn to in order to help your weight loss progress or simply maintain health. Having this list will help you keep your nutrition goals on pace. If you take the time to have these snacks available to you, you will not reach for the typical snacks that will kill your diet and health. There is nothing revolutionary with these snacks. There are no secret snacks out there. Use this report as a reminder that helps to keep you on the right track.

It’s important when choosing snacks to include a variety. This is why
I have 15 of them listed here. You won’t eat this many snacks all day, but if you can mix and match and have a variety of different types all week long, it will help keep you from getting bored. And if you recall from the beginning of this report, boredom is a reason a lot of people grab for unhealthy snacks.

Keep it interesting and try different ones. Mix and match. Get that thought into your head and stick with it. Before you know it, with some practice, you will always be reaching for healthy snacks. It will become the norm, rather than the exception.

I wish you the best of luck in your quest for healthy snacking! Bad snacking can destroy diets. Don’t let it happen to you.

Sincerely,

By now, you’re familiar with my approach and you know that I get right into the “meat” of the tips pretty fast. I know you want to get straight to the tips. So that’s what I give you. You’re busy, so I don’t want to waste your time with page-filling fluff containing useless facts and research that means nothing to you.

Along with the tips I’ll give you all the background information and reasoning you need to see that the information represent what I say they would.

I’m going to give you a bunch of different and unusual tips, tricks, and tactics to help you lose weight in quick, 1-minute bursts that you can do at your convenience.

I’ve found from helping thousands of women that if I can make weight loss easy and quick, without the typical boring exercise and diet stuff, you’ll be more likely to actually take the information and use it.

Weight loss isn’t as hard as people make it out to be. But you
do
need to take action. Knowing something isn’t enough. You have to implement that knowledge.

So I’m going to give you some advanced weight loss information that you probably never heard of and I’m going to show you how you can easily slip it into your busy schedule.

Let's get started with the first tip.

Yes, by rubbing your belly you burn off fat, but only if you learn how to do the amazing routine called The Belly Rub properly.

The
Belly Rub is one of the easiest ways to lose weight over the long run. The Belly Rub is
not
a quick weight-loss technique and it was never designed to be that.

It’s quick just like the other two are.
And The Belly Rub will only take three minutes of your time each day. And you don’t even need three minutes in succession! Perform The Belly Rub for one minute each time after you eat a meal.

Note:
You can literally burn fat cells out of your body using The Belly Rub.

Not only that,
The Belly Rub drastically improves your digestion. Improving your digestion increases the speed of any weight loss you were doing before by making your loss more efficient.

Here’s how you do The Belly Rub:

1.
       
Take both of your hands and rub them together really fast for about five to ten seconds. This creates heat. Heat is energy. Energy burns calories.

2.
      
While lying down (or standing up), take one of your hands and rub it in a circle around your belly button. Your hand has to touch your skin. You can’t do this over your shirt.

Note
: With your other hand, you can put it on your heart. Surprisingly, by putting your free hand on your heart you work to strengthen your heart with the heat energy from your hand! There is no need to move your hand in a circle over your heart.

You will
rub your hand around your belly button in a circle for about 30 seconds. Use a pace of one to two circles per second.

It doesn
’t matter which hand or which direction you rub.

3.
      
After 30 seconds, stop and rub your hands together again for 5 seconds to create more heat.

4.
     
Now, do The Belly Rub again.

As I said above, rubbing your hands together creates heat and this heat is a sort of invisible kinetic energy. Basically, the heat helps to burn out fat cells from your belly area. By rubbing your hands in a circle over your belly, you also improve the digestion of food.

This teaches the body to use the food more efficiently and pull out more nutrients while properly eliminating excess food and wastes that your body doesn
’t need.

Note:
And here’s an added bonus your whole family will appreciate: The Belly Rub also helps reduce gas!

The Belly Rub
causes the heat in your hands to penetrate through the skin and loosens up, breaks down, and incinerates fat deposits. Fat deposits are resilient though. So you have to repeatedly do this.

If you do this enough (and
if you’re consistent), eventually the fat deposits will breakdown over time and be eliminated. This technique actually goes back to ancient China, 6,000 years ago. The real shame is that simple techniques such as The Belly Rub are lost on the modern world of pills and surgery.

You may still be skeptical of The Belly Rub working, but all I ask is an hour and a half of your time, spread out over a month. In other words, all I ask is for you to do The Belly Rub for one minute after each meal and do this for 30 days.

That
’s not asking much. You really have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. By the way, you don’t have to do it only after meals. You can do it anytime you feel like it (and more than 3 minutes a day if you want), I’m just saying the best results come from doing it right after eating a meal.

One other thing before I wrap this up.
Here are a few added thoughts (if you’re a woman): If you’re a woman who has heavy, painful menstrual periods, the belly rubs can help you. On the days of your period, try doing the belly rubs for up to ten minutes at a time to help relieve the pain.

The belly rubs are also beneficial for women experiencing menopause and women trying to conceive because of the improvement in circulation, lymphatic, and nerve impulses to the pelvic areas.

This routine is known as the
Thyroid Tap
.

The actual physical tapping of your thyroid gland (it’s on the lower front part of your neck, where the “hole” in your neck is) stimulates an under-active thyroid to
move towards more normalized activity.

You will need to do these thyroid taps daily and for a few weeks, but it’s so easy and quick that is shouldn’t be a big deal to do them.

Take one or two of your fingers and tap your thyroid with your fingertips for a minute at a time a few times each day when it’s convenient.

I recommend you do this tapping for a
grand total of three minutes a day.

You can do it whenever and wherever, even when you’re watching
television, so make an effort to do them so your thyroid can get back to a normal functioning level.

An under-active thyroid (hypothyroidism) is one of the key factors that prevents people (especially women since hypothyroidism is more prevalent in women) from losing weight.
Most of the time, people don’t even realize they have hypothyroidism.

So,
by tapping your thyroid for a minute at a time, you help to stimulate the thyroid into making thyroid hormones. Thus, you help your chances of losing weight because you will have a healthy, normal functioning thyroid.
