The 5-Day Jump Start

By: Kathy Smith

I know how sincerely you want to change. I also know you want to achieve your weight loss goals in a safe and healthy way. So I've designed the 5-Day Jump Start to provide quick results, get you focused and break old habits.

I recommend you begin the 5-Day Jump Start at the start of a new week, following it from Monday to Friday. Use the time between now and then to read the materials, plan your week, and really make a mental commitment to the program. This mental preparation is key to ensuring your long-term success.

This program is not about magical thinking or gimmicks. It's about learning to make the food choices that, along with regular physical activity, can rev up your body's ability to burn fat as fuel. I promise that all the concepts involved will be very easy to grasp, and the need for willpower surprisingly small. You'll find that, after the first five days, you'll be motivated by how great you feel!

The 5-Day Jump Start will help stabilize your insulin levels and re-balance your hormones to put you in that fat burning mode. It will provide just the right combination of foods to allow you to effectively burn fat as fuel instead of storing it.

You'll be eating four meals a day. This may seem like a lot at first, but the fact is, you need fuel for energy all day long. Equally important to your long-term success, you need to feel satisfied throughout the day. Eating the four balanced meals within the plan will do the trick. So have some fun with your meals and think about what you can eat, instead of what you can't eat.
