A Calorie Is __________________________ When We Consume Foods, They Break Down Into Four Macronutrients: PROTEIN- the most essential macronutrient, it is the building block of muscle.

Timing Pg 44 ThriveWeightLoss.com How committed have you been? How fast do you want to arrive at your goal? Analogy: Let me give you an analogy, say you’re on your way to the beach. Now, if you go to the beach in a Chevy Corvette, will you get their quickly? You bet you will! And, you’ll get there in style! Okay, now let’s say you rent a Chevy Cobalt. Will that Cobalt get you to the beach? Of course! Will it get you there as fast as the Chevy Corvette? No! But you’ll get there none-the-less. You won’t have as much time at the beach, but you’ll arrive. The central question you must ask yourself is how fast do you want to get to your ideal weight? How committed are you and how much time do you want to spend on the “beach of your life”. Pg 44 ThriveWeightLoss.com

Timing Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Pg 44 As you continue to eat properly, your metabolism continued to increase its fat-burning efficiency. Like a growing fire your body will consume and burn more and more fat. Fat burning will increase with the number of days you stay on the program, Pg 44 ThriveWeightLoss.com

Timing Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Pg 45 Once you take a blow-it day, the increase in fat burning and the higher metabolic rate is reduced, progress is stopped and your body returns to a slower rate with lesser fat burning. Now, once we’ve had a blow-it day, we can experience a subtle change in attitude. We can begin to think we will never get there and we’ll never arrive. We might get discouraged and not look to begin again. Consider the following analogy (turn to next slide). Pg 45 ThriveWeightLoss.com
