The key to burning fat around your stomach and everywhere else in your body is eating the right ratio of lean protein, healthy fats and unprocessed carbs (as found in green superfood drinks).
What's the right ratio for a fast metabolism? Follow the "Fist, Thumb, Fist Rule."
To keep your metabolism running at a steady, efficient fat-burning pace, you should eat the following at every meal:
o a fist size of lean protein (natural whey protein, wild fish, lentils)
o a thumb size of healthy fats (flax, omega 3 nuts, seeds)
o a fist of carbs (green superfood, veggies, whole grain bread)
Here's how it works. Your cells need the carbs to function (carbs = glucose = fuel/energy) but need the protein and fats to process the carbs in a steady stream. If you get only carbs, you get a "sugar rush" and then a sugar crash and then you go into starvation mode. This means that nothing functions properly. You can't think. You're hungry and tend to overeat. And whatever carbs/glucose you do eat in this state is stored as fat not used as energy.
But follow the Fist, Thumb, Fist Rule, and you will:
o maintain a healthy, lean body
o feel full not hungry so you're less likely to pig out throughout the day
o give your brain what it needs to run so you can concentrate better and think more clearly
Learning the right ratio down may seem complicated, but you'll get the hang of it quickly. That's where the superfood drinks come in.
Green Superfood Drinks For Breakfast, Snacks or as an Easy, Do-able Meal Substitute
Ideally, you should have a your superfoods shake for breakfast every day to provide you with the perfect balance for optimal health and a lean body. This shake is also the perfect lunch, post-workout replenishment, and between-meal snack, and it's great any time you are too busy to prepare a full meal.
How do you make a shake?
Step #1 -- Add the following ingredients into a blender:
o green powder
o good fat (omega 3 oil, flax or omega 3 mixed nuts and seeds)
o protein powder
o liquid (water, non-fat milk, plain soy milk or plain almond milk)
o fresh fruit
o ice (for a thicker, creamier shake)
o optional essences and spices (vanilla, mint, almond essence, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, or ginger)
Step #2 -- Blend to desired smoothness and enjoy.
This recipe makes a 32-ounce shake. Drink the whole thing for a complete meal. Drink half for a smaller meal.
