Overeat These 3 Foods On July 4th
Wow… what a busy weekend!
And I can’t believe that July 4th is upon us already. Where has the year gone?
On the 4th I’m going boating with friends on Lake Travis right outside of Austin about 30 minutes. (One of my favorite things to do.)
I’m going to be wake boarding (kind of like surfing behind a boat—that’s me in the photo) and spending time celebrating this amazing country and all that we have to be thankful for. Oh, and I’m super excited to see some fireworks, too!
I hope you have something meaningful planned over the 4th as well. In just a minute, I’m going to ask that you share what you’re doing over the 4th, and claim your chance at a rather cool gift for doing so.
Anyway, today I wanted to give you a quick tip about 3 foods that you should “overeat”… everyday—including on the 4th of July.
But isn’t overeating bad? Not always, you see people who are trying to lose body flab often focus on what NOT to eat. I’m talking about foods that are processed and loaded with sugar and/or unhealthy fats.
But the problem is, when you tell yourself you can’t have foods like pizza, ice cream, cookies or chocolate, often times, this just makes your cravings for these foods even worse. (I’m sure you know what I mean.)
Example: I tell myself I’m not going to eat ice cream for a week… and what’s the first thing I crave about 15 minutes later… that’s right… ice cream. (And LOTS of it.)
So instead of constantly telling myself what I can’t eat, I’ve started focusing on overeating these 3 foods nearly every day.
Why? Because when you eat larger amounts of healthy foods, you tend to naturally eat less of unhealthy foods which causes you to lose weight.
Simple idea, but boy does it work!
So what are my 3 foods? They are:
-
Oatmeal: Believe me, even if you try, it’s very difficult to overeat oatmeal. Because of its fiber content, after a small bowl I’m stuffed and don’t want to eat much else. Oatmeal also contains smaller amounts of protein and healthy fats so it’s a great overall, flat-belly food.
Tip: I’ll prepare a big pan of about 7 servings of slow-cooked (or steele cut) oatmeal on Sunday and refrigerate the leftovers to eat all week—tastes just as good reheated without all the prep time.
I add a few blueberries, cinnamon and a natural sweetener like Slimtevia, which you can order here. Can’t beat it. However, be sure you’re not eating pre-packaged oatmeal stuffed with sugar. That will cause you to gain flab, not lose it. Also, use the slow-cooked oatmeal or steele cut version instead of instant because it’s less processed and will digest slower.
- A monster salad: At the beginning of the week I’ll also prepare a huge, monster salad and make it as colorful as possible so as to get a wide variety of nutrients from the different veggies. My salads often contain spinach and dark colored lettuce (ice berg lettuce isn’t very nutritious), tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, black beans, diced eggs, yellow and green peppers, cauliflower, a few berries and seeds and much more. I’ll dump 3 or 4 cups of this salad into a large bowl (that looks like a bucket), add some healthy olive oil and balsamic vinegar and I eat until I can’t eat any more. I literally stuff my face.
-
A delicious smoothie: Now I’m NOT talking about one of those fruit smoothies that is stuffed full of sugar and calories. I’m talking about a smoothie (or nutrition shake) that is loaded with belly-burning protein. My two favorite smoothies are a vanilla/banana smoothie (I only use about ¼ of a banana) or a chocolate peanut butter smoothie with a few teaspoons of natural PB. Don’t use an entire banana or gobs of PB because you can really drive up the calories. A ¼ cup of any type of berries are great to use as an alternative, too.
Believe me, you’re not going to be able to overindulge on a protein shake. They are so filling that I’m stuffed after about 8 oz.
So there you have it… 3 foods that you should overeat on the 4th of July (and every other day) to feel full and satisfied so you don’t eat too much of the bad stuff. It’s pretty amazing how simple little tips like this can save you a BUNCH of calories.
Now, you may be wondering what type of protein powder I recommend. Well, I really LOVE my new, all-natural protein shakes that just came in a few days ago. They are packed with nutrition without any of the “bad stuff”—like artificial sweeteners, colors or additives.
What’s more, the protein is sourced from cows NOT treated with hormones.
Yep… an all-natural protein powder that actually tastes incredible. Perfect to use with any nutrition program. And they come in chocolate or vanilla cream flavors.
That’s the good news, the bad news is that these shakes aren’t available for sale yet. I haven’t had time to complete the web site. However, let me know what you’ll be doing over the 4th of July weekend by leaving a comment below … and I’ll randomly choose 5 people to receive a 30-day supply of my brand new, top secret, 100% all-natural protein shake that tastes aweeesssoommmeee! (A $49.95 value.) Winners will be notified later this week.

I have not seen my son and daughter in law and most of all my grandson in quite some time. They called the night before and asked if we would like to do something…. so we put aside the work we planned on doing since my husband is off for the holiday. We had a barbeque and spent some time playing games. Of course we lit a few fireworks but kept it mellow out of respect for firefighters and other victims of the wildfires in our area. We decided the work would probably be always be there but family may not be. I have been doing the belly fat free diet for a few weeks lost 12 lbs but am stuck and a bit discouraged. My hardest part is planning the meals so I can eat at the right times when I get too busy so trying out your shakes would really help me keep moving forward. Thanks for your motivation andpositive words. Jen

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Remember to review the meal plan that accompanied your program, and try not to get discouraged. You can do it!

In Kansas we have been in a severe drought so no fireworks are allowed in many counties. As we continue to have fires in KS and Colorado I just pray for all the firefighters who will be working on the fourth to keep us all safe. They sacrafice alot for everyone else. God keep them safe. We are having a quiet family get together. Not real exciting but sometimes just hanging out is the best stress relief. Happy Fourth to all.

I choose to work for a little while today, as my family is everywhere. My husband is in Afghanistan and my son is in the Air Force and I am so grateful for his service. So today I have spent some time researching your products and I am quite impressed. In a little while I will go and watch fireworks with my daughter when she gets off work. It has been very quiet and very peaceful, and I am okay with that. I am grateful for our country and our ability to celebrate our freedom. Thanks for the 3 food tips.

Hi Josh,
I semi-relaxed at home for the 4th:). I walked the dog, did some pool exercises, and visited friends. I’ll have to work Thursday and Friday, but the days will go quickly. I like the oatmeal idea. In fact, I put about 1/8 cup of oats in my morning smoothie which gives me added fiber and I’m full till lunch.
Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Love allyour insights! I agree with the oatmeal and gigantic salad. Going to make sure there is plenty of both on the fourth. Walked four miles to parade then enjoyed healthy BBQ with fa mily and friends.

We had to work on the 4th but that didn’t keep us from discussing and praying for the past and present service men and women and praying for them. God Bless America….America, Bless God!

I went for an hour swim with the master’s swim team, and then my family and I walked through the park, enjoying the sights, and stopped at a playground in the middle. We grilled some meat, played some badmitten, and finally walked through the neighborhood, watching all the fireworks! It was perfect!

I am so excited! I just started the program! But, I hate oatmeal!! I am forcing it down for the three day belly cleanse!

Thanks Josh, I just opened this today, but love the tips for the 4th! I am really a smoothie type of girl and not the fattening kind. I am 62 and have belly fat like never before. I have been in the fitness industry/teacher for 30 years until the last couple of years. I am really interested in a nutritional protein powder. I am currently a Lindora client and I spoke to them about your program and they said nothing but good things. I can’t wait to get my book! I love your updates

STARTED the plan! I’d like to lose about 20 pounds of fat and gain 5-8 pounds of lean muscle mass. I just moved across the country for a new job, don’t know anyone, so am using this opportunity to make positive changes in my life. What’s really amazing to me, is that I was already following and living by a lot of the principles in this program, but will use this system to fine-tune my current habbits, to better understand why it’s important to be more disciplined with what I put in my body, and to rid myself of toxicity both physically and emotionally.

Hi and thanks for the book….just finished reading it thru and highlighting those portions I feel will benefit me most.
Lots of great info .
I’d like to purchase the shakes you suggest but the website says ….not yet. Why?
I’m a senior citizen and need to lose 20 pounds
Recently recovering from cancer treatments – beginning to feel good and I want to take this opportunity to get strong again and LIVE!!!!

I’VE JUST BEEN 3 DAYS INTO THE CLEANSE AND WANT TO HAVE A PROTEIN DRINK IN THE MORNING TO START MY DAY. I JUST ORDERED THE LOW FAT CARB PROTEIN MIX FROM BIO TRUST. I’M EXCITED TO RECEIVE. ALSO, I HAVE LOSS 5 POUNDS IN JUST 3 DAYS AND I FEEL FULL, NOT HUNGRY. ACTUALLY, I HAVE MORE ENERGY AND ABLE TO WALK. I RECENTLY HAD A TERRIBLE FALL IN MARCH AND IN MY RECOVERY PERIOD, I HAVE GAINED SOME UNNECESSARY POUNDS AND IT’S NOT GOOD FOR MY LEGS AND JOINTS. I’M IN MY LATE 50′S AND WANT TO GET BACK TO FEELING GOOD.
I THOUGHT THIS LIFE CHANGING PROGRAM COULD JUMP START ME TO MY GOALS.
I’M READING THE BOOK AND I GET ENERGIZED JUST BY READING ABOUT CONFIDENCE, AND HOW TO GET MY MIND TO POSITIVELY THINK ABOUT MY LIFE AND TO CORRECT MY WAYS OF THINKING AND THE WAY I EAT AND THE WAY I CAN CONVERSE WITH OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THIS NEW WAY OF LIFE. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE AND BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SUCCEEDED AND ACCOMPLISHED BEING BELLYFATFREE!!
