weight loss after pregnancy gastric bypass | Live Fit Phase 3

weight loss after pregnancy gastric bypass

Last year I started the Live Fit 12 Week Trainer and saw really great results after completing Phase 1 and Phase 2 (the first 8 weeks), then I had a leg injury that prevented me from completing the last phase.  Also, I had gotten pretty lean in the first 8 weeks, so I felt okay waiting to finish.

To recap, here are some pics of the first 8 weeks, unfortunately I didnt get pictures of each week so these are the only ones I have to share.  (Isnt it amazing how much better we can look with a tan?) 

Now that Im all healed, Im starting Phase 3, the last 4 weeks of the Live Fit Trainer.  The last phase focuses on high intensity interval training (HIIT) for maximum fat burning while maintaining the muscle youve gained.  Also, there is "carb cycling" to help reduce fat.  Because Im already pretty lean and dont want to get too much leaner, I will probably continue eating the way I did during weeks 1-8, that is, every 3-4 hours, with "cheat meals" on the weekends and maybe a couple pieces of dark chocolate after dinner.  I will reduce my sugar and caffeine intake, so Ill report back on how that goes.

I copied the information below straight from the Live Fit website so you can see an overview of the final phase of the program.

post pregnancy weight loss how long | Turkey Chili

post pregnancy weight loss how long

Here is another high protein meal that I like to make on the weekend, then refrigerate for leftovers throughout the week.  I dont think I ever make it exactly the same way twice, since Im always tweaking the spices, cooking time, and ingredients.

Below is a basic recipe that you can adjust based on your taste preferences.

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/4 lb extra lean ground turkey
• 3 cloves of garlic minced
• chili powder- 2 teaspoons
• black pepper- 1/2 teaspoon
• cumin- 4 tablespoons (I like a lot, maybe I use more??)
• chili beans- 1 or 2 cans, rinsed
• diced tomatoes, undrained- 1 can 14 oz
• tomato paste- 1 can 6 oz
• chicken broth- 1can 14 oz
• 2% shredded cheese for topping

Directions

• Heat oil in a large dutch oven or pot on medium heat.  Add onions until translucent. 
• Add turkey and break into small pieces.  Cook until browned.
• Stir in garlic and spices.
• Add beans.
• Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth.
• Then I start tasting and adjusting the spices.  I sometimes add a pinch of cayenne, a little salt, and more cumin and/or chili powder.
• I cook it for about 45 minutes on a low simmer.

post pregnancy weight loss hormones | My Fit Foods

post pregnancy weight loss hormones

I wanted to share with you a food shortcut that Ive used in the past that really works well when you dont have time to cook, but want to eat healthy.  I typically like to cook our meals, but this is another option.  My Fit Foods is pre-cooked, fresh, refrigerated packaged meals that you just heat up for a couple minutes and they are ready to eat.  A while back, we bought enough meals for our family for several lunches and dinners.  I buy the small, but the large would be about enough for two meals for me.  Normally, I might just buy a couple a week to take to work for lunch so I dont have to go out or bring leftovers.

One of my favorite meals is the Atlantic Baked Salmon with quinoa and broccoli.  But I also really like the salmon cakes, chicken wrap, and chili.  They have breakfasts too and tons of choices.

The nutrition information is provided on each package, like this for my salmon:

All of the meals are based on a  40% low glycemic carbohydrates, 40% lean protein, and 20% healthy fat.  

I know My Fit Foods is in Texas and opening a location in Phoenix too.  Im wondering if theres something similar where you live, and if so, have you tried it?  What do you think?  I remember before I tried it, the thought of pre-packaged foods sounded pretty bad, but they are actually good and you cant beat the convenience.   p.s.  Im not being compensation by MFF for this post- I just wanted to share:)
