Lifestyle
The 48 Hour Rule
Many clients have heard me profess about the 48-hour rule.
And it was also intended around losing weight and dropping fat by getting over carb/sugar cravings.
And it’s true.
But during this time of COVID-19 I realized now more than ever, it’s also the kingpin to remaining healthy.
If this time has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t afford to have Underlying Conditions.
- High Blood pressure
- High Blood Sugar
- Cancer
- Heart Disease
- Diabetes
- Asthma
- Kidney Disease
- Thyroid disorder
- And more
While I will ALWAYS encourage the right kind of exercise for metabolism enhancement, joint health and bone density, a consistently good diet is even more important.
Let’s focus on Diet and the 48-hour Rule:
Clients mention to me that they sometimes ‘struggle’ with their diets.
Especially regarding carbs (simple and complex sugars)
- Sweets
- Pasta
- Ice cream
- Cereal
- Alcohol
- Pizza
We all know we should eat better.
Many of us even know how to eat better.
But it can be tough, even with good intentions:
If you are off track – IT’s HARD to get back on track!
Keep in mind, sugar is a drug.
It changes you:
- Physiologically – Body
- Psychologically- Mind
- Addictive – Pain/Pleasure Systems
And like any drug, it has a 1/2 life.
Some drugs have a long 1/2 life (6-12mo)
Others, are short.
Good News
Sugar = 5-days (pretty short)
The 48-hour rule.
So what about 48-hours?
The majority (85%) of the 1/2 life of sugar is exhausted within the first 48-hours.
I mention this because if you are eating poorly or in a bad place, it’s just 2-days from turning around.
Now, I don’t mean that you’ll get to your goal weight, body fat and eliminate Underlying Conditions within 2-days but it does mean that your sugar CRAVING will be diminished within 2-days.
After 2-days:
It will be easier for you to maintain a good diet, without carb cravings and with better control.
All of this will lead to lower Insulin Levels.
And to review, low insulin levels mean:
- Less body fat
- Lower fat weight
- Smaller physical size of your body
- Less vessel wall damage
- Healthier organs
- Better energy
- Less risk of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and stroke
- Improved mental outlook
- Better and Deeper Sleep
- Less risk of COVID or other infectious diseases
And that’s the short list! Get through the challenging 48-hours and you’ll be well on your way.
Keep it going!!
