The Fat Loss Protocol with Cyndi O'Meara - Most Popular Episode

Do you know that your body can signal turning off fat release? Meaning even though you may try to exercise your butt or gut off, your body still isn’t allowing you to release fat. Sooo not fair!

You’re frustration starts to climb as you get more despair wondering what is going on. You’re still eating the same but now putting on weight daily, you have completely lost your waistline that you had in your 20’s and getting more and more joint pain.

Sounds familiar?

In this episode we invite Cyndi O’Meara on the show to take us through her Fat Loss Protocol.

Cindy shares the science of why the Fat Loss Protocol works so effectively especially for middle age women. She walks us through the four phases of this transformational program.

In our 40’s our hormone really start to come into play. What we use to do to lost weight just doesn’t work anymore.

One of the biggest problems Cyndi shares is because we are leptin resistant. Leptin tells our hormones what to do. What to do with fat & hunger specifically!

The fat Loss protocol shows you how to RESET your leptin sensitivity  and stop the middle age spread in its tracks.

(listen above-scroll up & press the play button or listen on iTunes)

Now in this interview Cyndi shares something that totally stops me in my tracks – you hear me actually gasp a big “WOW” ….something that I have never heard before about how simply the fat from your moisturiser could STOP your fast loss results. CRAZY SH*T!

Here are some other things she teaches you:

  • How and why your body goes into ketosis…and what is it?
  • How simply drinking a certain type of alcohol could put on a couple of kilos of inflammation over night. Your body can’t put on a kilo of weight over night..this is inflammation. But the good news is you can find something that actually helps you have a drink and not pay the price the next day.
  • The more fat cells you have or shall I say the more overweight you are -the more your Leptin signal is NOT work and makes you think you’re hungry when you’re not. (PLUS HOW TO RESET THIS- YES!!!)
  • How stress from being a high achieving entrepreneur interrupts your digestion which in turn effects our weight.
  • What HCG is why its important to know to help you support your fat loss journey
  •  The importance of season cycles for fat loss.

Intermittent Fasting for weight loss

 

There has been a big craze this year around intermittent fasting. I’m sure if you haven’t tried it you may be wondering… is it good, bad, dangerous or really is it REALLY  god damn AMAZING as they say it is???

Well from my own challenges of weight gain and biggest successes of fat loss; intermittent fasting  hands down was the winner for me. In oct 2017-Feb 2018 I lost a staggering 15kilos with the greatest of ease. Check out the pic below ( FYI I did exercise too ..I danced at night and did weights. Though full disclaimer I had always exercised. It was my eating ‘window’ that was the game changer).

Not to mention it was the most amount of body fat that I needed to drop ever in my whole life; I was at my heaviest.

I had put on A LOT of weight past few years from pressure off being a new mum, stress of being an over achiever and sugar sneaking into my diet …for me mostly late night picking with a glass of wine was my biggest culprit .

My day time diet was impeccable ( I think that’s why Intermittent fasting was a cinch for me. I just had to cut out the shit I nibbled on at  night).  

I share the whole program from 18mins onwards [play above] in how to do it, so you know the exacts steps. (But be patient listening prior those 18mins as I do share sooo many golden nuggets of how to fast track fat loss and compound the effects)

For me, when it came to eating and losing weight; it was important that I needed to do it without the feeling like I was missing out, feeling deprived. I loved food and alcohol being apart of my relax & social time. I share how you can have a minor cheat days and still reap the rewards.

I get it, the emotional connection you can have with food, eg: family dinners, watching a late night movie etc. I swear this was the winner for me when I knew how to combat this programmed behaviour.

On today’s episode I go through the science behind it; why it works and how to do it so you reap the benefit. PLUS I also share common struggles you may have had in the past, that’s if you have tried it but got super hungry and gave up. It’s okay as I have been there too. I talk about the importance of the grace period in this episode.

Finally I think it’s important for you to know you’re not alone on this fat loss journey and at times it can be so hard…one of the most important messages I think for anyone who has some type of relationship with food; especially night time eating is this…it took a while to create your habits. Give yourself time to break them.

On the show today I talk specifically to that mountain and it’s all about shining the light on giving yourself GRACE! (listen closely to the 23min mark)

Give yourself Grace in where you are now, and where you want to get to. There must be a grace period in getting yourself on track and don’t expect to jump straight into intermittent fasting in a matter of days as that will set you up for the biggest failure ever.

Grace is about kindness, knowing where you are and tapering down any food addiction and behavioural routines.

Let’s face it, learning to cut out food in your life is more of a psychological and behavioural thing more than anything else.

We need to give ourselves grace in curbing addictions, socialising with food and mush more. So to think you can do this over night is way to hard on yourself girlfriend!

 

Check out some of the juicy stuff I cover:

 

  • Why it’s devastating to eat late at night for weight loss
  • The one most important thing that you can ever do for your life; life expectancy and fat loss.
  • The difference between fed stats and digestive state
  • What reduces your life cycle but 5 yrs
  • What is Oxidative stress
  • 18:03 – How to do intermittent fasting
  • 19mins -The step by step way to move from eating 5 times a day, from snacking to reducing your eating window to 2 times day without falling off the rails.
  • 20mins -How to do alternative intermediate  fasting days
  • 21mins- How dehydration is mistaken for hunger
  • 23ins – Why having GRACE in changing your eating window when fasting
  • 24mins- Find it hard to skip breakfast ? Its totally ok for fasting and most ideal to have breakfast.

Kill Sugar Cravings with Essential Oils

Imagine if you can kill a craving in 3 mins flat!

In fact yesterday after this interview I had a sugar craving; I walked to my cupboard and opened it up looking to see what I have in there to feed it…and then out of the side of my eye I see my lemon essential oil.

Believe me when I say this that I sooo wanted the chocolate that is hidden at the top of my cupboard BUT  I thought well let’s see if Dr Mariza is right and lemon essential oil can cure my sugar craving.

So I placed a drop on my tongue, closed the cupboard door and walked off.

Only now writing this did I realise Holly sh*t it worked…even better I totally forgot I wanted the chocolate. No mental battle…NOTHING! 

Even though I have used essential oils for many years but not to cure a sugar cravings.

I noticed that there has been a big BUZZ around essential oils lately; so I decided to bring Dr Marzia Synders on the show today to give us the lowdown on essential oils (she shares some crazy mind blowing stuff!!!!)

Today we lift the lid on the  whole essential oils world; how they work, why they work.

I stumbled across essential oils 17 years ago; I had the weakest lungs, I continually suffered from asthma with continual bouts of bronchitis a couple of times a year. I was introduced to the powers of peppermint oil and since that day I never used an asthma spray or had bronchitis ever again….NEVER!

Dr Mariza Synders  shares how our stress hormones are linked to our sugar cravings and how we can vanish them in under 3 mins flat simply by sniffing a peppermint or lemon oil.

Essential oils are powerful organic constitutes that speak directly to our molecules, hence the positive immediate impact & effects. 

This Woman is phenomenal to listen to you’re going to LOVE LOVE LOVE her!

Check out what we cover in today interview:

  • Craving are from one of three things: Stress, Fatigue or an emotional concern. 
  • How cortisol dictates EVERYTHING….thyroid, liver, muscles, mood
    How to break up with sugar…its starts with breaking up with stress. 
  • Women trying to be everything to everyone; and why our adrenals are getting out of whack.
  • Dr Mariza shares the clutch the pearls moments
  • The importance of the role of essential oils on our limbic system and hypothalamus  

Dr Mariza shares three out of this world recipes for Essential Oils:

The stress busting essential oils blend 

Stress be gone blend:

Bergamot, Lavender, vanilla, Wild orange  (they literally break up the stress response IMMEDIATELY!)  

NOTE: Below are for a size of a 10Mil roller bottle mix with an oil – grape seed oil; coconut oil, Macadamia oil – some quality carrier oil not a cheap and nasty canola or sunflower seed etc.

Sugar Cravings be gone blend: 10 drops peppermint; 10 drops grapefruit and 5 drops lemon – 

Afternoon slump: instant energiser: Peppermint boost mitochondria

Ep#13 – Losing Stubborn Over 40yr Fat!

Sick of feeling tired, stressed and fat?

Or perhaps just can’t seem to shift your weight, no matter what you’ve tried?

Losing fat isn’t as easy as it was in your 20’s, right?

Hence why I made this specific episode…

Losing stress and stubborn over 40 fat.

I know it seems as you’re get older, it’s getting harder to lose weight.

I’ve been there, it feels like you’re getting fatter and fatter… and fatter!

No matter what you seem to do, you just can’t shake off the excess body fat.

Plus being stressed with work also doesn’t help as you’ll hear exactly why in this episode.

But there is promise for you, right here, right now!

Today I share my 4 Biggest Fat-Shedding Tips for when you’re over 40.

How I fixed my thyroid and returned the clock back to my health better than my 30’s.

In this episode I cover:

  • Why snacking is disastrous for fat loss.
  • What accelerators your muscles growth and fat loss.
  • 3 foods that SHRINK fat cells…No B/S! Scientifically-proven numerous times.
  • What hormones are playing havoc and stopping you losing fat.
  • How the stress of your business is keeping your sex drive low and fat held at bay.
  • Why you’re not getting a full good night’s sleep, nor can move stubborn fat.

My Fat-Shrinking Breakfast Smoothie Recipe:

250-300 mls Almond Milk (or coconut milk)
2 tsbps Grass fed Beef Gelatine – Hydrolyzed
1 tsbps organic hemp protein powder
2 scoops- Metagenics Energy X (magnesium chocolate powder)
1 tsbp of LSA
1 tsbp of black chia seeds
1-2 tsbps coconut liquid oil ( or a quality MTC oil)
Add dark leafy greens (eg spinach, silverbeet etc)
Knob of fresh tumeric
Knob of fresh ginger
Handful of berries
1/4 Avocado
*Do you best to get all fresh ingredients organic and GMO-free

 

QUICK RECIPE TIPS:

  1. To get all your dry ingredients it will cost you approximately $70-$130 and will last you for approx 2 months minimum having it daily.
  2. I have placed links on where you can grab dry goods online above if you don’t have an awesome health food store locally.
  3. Energy X is practitioner-prescribed so you’ll need to get your hands on it through a naturopath or registered nutritionist.
  4. The Energy X is packed with magnesium which is crucial for supporting stress management, you can also have it in tablet form. I take both… as it makes the breakfast smoothy taste a whole lots nicer with Energy X in it 🙂
  5. The smoothie is in replacement of your normal breakfast and should hold you over for approx 4hrs.
