TRANSCRIBED: THIS WEEK EPISODE OF THE LOVE TO LIVE HEALTHY SHOW WITH JOSEPHINE FITZPATRICK
Hi everyone, welcome to the Love to Live Healthy show. My name is Josephine Fitzpatrick. Today’s episode is how Can I Get Quick Weight Loss? How do I lose the most weight in the shortest amount of time? Clients ask me this question every day.
Last week’s episode, if you listened, was all about the three top ways to lose 5 to 7 pounds in one week. We went over the regular innovation, we went over the detox and we went over the five hour fasting All great ways to get 5 to 7 pounds off in one week. Now we are going to talk about doubling down. We’re going to double down and change it up enough so that our body gets confused and when our body gets confused, it will help us keep those numbers going. We want to keep continuing to lose weight, and that’s why we’re doubling down.
One thing I do want to tell you is I really believe the healthiest program you can do is the signature innovation 3 meals and 1 to 2 snacks. It’s slow, it’s steady, it’s 1 to 2 pounds a week, but it’s great because while you’re losing weight, you’re learning at the same time to incorporate healthy habits into your daily life, and that’s what makes it so great.
However, that does not work for everyone. That doesn’t work for someone who has resistant fat or maybe has a medical issues or going through menopause. This is how I came up with the doubling down. This is why I created the 5 hour fast and the detox and doubling down on them, because if you have resistant fat and find it impossible to lose weight or if you have medical issues, or if you just stuck with your weight loss, these methods will help you lose the weight, regardless of why your body is resistant.
I use it all the time with clients who try to lose weight and struggle to lose 1 pound. Maybe it’s genetic, maybe it’s medical, doesn’t matter. They’re struggling to lose that 1 pound and that is not motivating. Who is going to stay on a diet when you can’t lose a pound because you have resistant fat or because you have a medical issues or because you’re going through menopause. I created these because they work and when clients see the results, they are so excited.
But please, before you try weight loss, make sure you consult your doctor.
What is Doubling Down: What I find to be the best and I’ve used it on thousands of clients is the combination of the fasting and the detox Not one, not the other, but both in the same week. I call it doubling down. You’re taking two great weight loss methods, two quick weight loss methods, and you’re combining them in one week and it confuses the body so much that it gives you amazing results. Not only does it work great, but the clients love doing it because it’s mentally exciting. It’s not the same thing all week over and over. It makes the time go faster and you feel like just when you had enough of one, you’re starting the next one. And, of course, one of the main reasons they love it is because they see the results. And when we see results, everything feels worth it.
I originally started the doubling down for clients who really had resistant fat. They just struggled. They would go on their regular innovation program or was on any weight loss program and they would lose a little weight and then it would just stop and it would not move, no matter how little they ate.
Once I started these methods, their weight loss took off. Every week they would see two to three pounds. That’s a lot of weight loss for someone who has resistant fat. That’s a lot for someone whose body is running so much slower because they have a medical issue or menopause. So when you see weight loss like that after trying so hard, and you can’t get a pound off. You are so excited it works.
METHODS: First, let’s go over the detox and the five hours. For those of you who are new, not sure or just need a refresher. The five hour fast is when you do two meals and one snack and you do it in the same five hours every day Monday through Friday. It’s what I would refer to as a breakfast or lunch for your first meal and a dinner for your second meal and then a snack for your third. They are all on program healthy meals/snack. If you’re not sure, listen to our last podcast I gave examples.
The detox is when you do one detox drink, one meal with two cups of veggies and one MCT muffin, unlike the five hour where you have to do it in the same five hours every day. It doesn’t matter what time you do the detox. It doesn’t matter what order you do it in, although I tell clients all the time start with the drink, because the drink has the appetite suppressant in it and it will help you not feel hungry. I see clients do these methods all the time and they do really well with them. We must remember we’re always drinking water throughout the day. It’s very important to stay hydrated.
5 HOUR FAST: The first thing you want to do is figure out what your five hours are that you’re comfortable with. If you have already done the 5 hour in the past you might already know what you’re capable of. But if you haven’t done the five hour you have to figure out what you can do in that week. For example, if you’re planning on doing the five hour and you’re going to eat from one to six, but you have dinner plans at six o’clock on Thursday, well, you can’t do the five hour from one to six because you have to be done eating at six. So it’s very important to know what your week looks like and if you’re capable of doing it and if you are, what would be the five hours that you can do it in?
Okay, so let’s now start the double down with your week.
If you are doubling down, this is what your first week would look like.
You want to start with three fasting days and two detox days. So your first three days are fasting and your last two days are detox, or you can reverse it and start with three detox days and two fasting days. The key is the first three days are the same and the last two days are the same, regardless of if you do the detox first or the fasting first.
So say, the first week you do the fasting Monday through Wednesday and detox Thursday and Friday. Then you would do a regular weigh-in on Saturday morning, and continue a regular innovation weekend on Saturday and Sunday of 3 meals and 1-2 snacks. You would incorporate one cheat meal and one cheat dessert on Saturday or Sunday.
The following week you can reverse it and you can do three detox days and two fasting days and again Saturday morning you weigh in and you do a regular innovation weekend with your cheat meal and cheat dessert or drinks -if you’re drinking and you’re over 21.
Normally what I do with clients is I start them on the regular innovation week. I see how they do, and I see how their weight loss goes. Then I will go to the detox for a week, and then I will have them do the fasting for the next week. This gives me an idea of how they do and what they are capable of doing.
So start by doing one week of each. Figure out what you are capable of first, then you can double down once you’ve tried all three.
This is how your first couple of weeks would look when you’re doubling down.
- Week 1: Regular Innovation week 3 on program meals 1-2 snacks.
- Week 2: 3 detox days – 2 Five hour fasting days – innovation weekend.
- Week 3: 2 Fasting days – 3 detox days – Innovtion weekend.
- Week 4: Regular Innovation week 3 on program meals and 1-2 snacks
Now, listen, it’s hard. Detox is hard, weight loss is hard, fasting is hard. For some, even regular innovation is hard. But you have to know if you want to lose weight, you have to put the work in. So you have to figure out what works for you both mentally and physically and do it.
Start by figuring out your week. See what works for you. When you figure out your week and you see what works for you, that’s what’s going to make all the difference and that is when you can begin.
But I promise you, if you do this and you’re struggling with any type of resistant fat, if you’re struggling with any type of medical issues or menopause this is going to work for you. So give it a try, see how you do. I know you will be really happy you did it.
You will say “yes it was challenging but it works amazing”
You can always reach out to me and ask me any questions. I’m always here for you. Okay, I’m wishing everyone a happy, healthy week. Give it a go, give it a try, see how you do and let me know.
