Most of us put on a few extra pounds over the holidays. It happens. But getting it off doesn’t require punishment, starvation, or gimmicks.
Give me 10 days, and try this:
- Stop Eating by 6:30–7:00 PM
Your body needs time to clear insulin and burn stored fuel. This one change alone moves the needle fast. - Eat Zero Processed Food
This is the biggest step — the one that changed my life at 66. When you cut out processed food, your sodium drops, inflammation drops, cravings drop… and weight follows.
Salt your food with Baja Gold (mineral-rich, 29% sodium, 89 minerals). When you’re not eating processed food, you can salt to taste.
- Build Your Meals From This List
Do this for 10 days — and if you want a full transformation, stay with it for 120 days.
Proteins:
- Grass-fed & finished 92% ground beef (Aldi: ~$6.38/lb)
- Salmon (~$7.50/lb)
- Pasture-raised eggs
- Sardines
- Cod
- Greek yogurt (grass-fed organic)
- Cottage cheese
- Kefir
- Raw cheeses (Parmesan, cheddar)
- Whey or collagen protein
Fruits & Fiber:
- Kiwis
- Pomegranates
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Lemons
- 100% cocoa
Healthy Carbs (Turn Them Into Resistant Starch):
Cook these the night before and refrigerate for 14–18 hours:
- Rice
- Potatoes
- Oats
- Beans & legumes
Cooling them increases resistant starch, which improves gut health and makes them metabolically friendlier.
Oats Trick:
Take organic steel-cut oats, put them in water overnight (12–14 hours), then warm them in the morning. Zero hassle. Maximum nutrition.
Bread?
Avoid it. If you must, have one slice of sourdough only
