Guest Blog-Drop 2 Jean Sizes in 42 Days Challenge
Our blog is written by Dustin Maher founder of Fit Moms For Life and creator of the Transformation Center
There are 50-60 degree days in the forecast next week, and as the temperatures warm up, the desire to lose the "Midwestern blanket" (aka fat) increases dramatically. Along with the warm temps, comes running outside. One of the best things you can do for your joints (besides of course getting the right running shoes) is losing a few pounds to lessen the impact on the body.
“I want to fit back into my skinny jeans,” is one of the most common things I hear said when someone comes to the Transformation Center. Another one is, “I want to have less of this hanging over,” as they grab their fat around their midsection which many refer as their “muffin top.”
Hey there, this is Dustin Maher, founder of Fit Moms for Life, and the creator of the Transformation Center, a place where we provide custom strength training, eating plans, and accountability to help you reach your goals, whether you are a man or woman. In order to lose 2 jean sizes is just 42 days you will need to really do everything right.
5 aggressive things you can do to drop a couple jean sizes and give you more energy.
#1 Make your only liquid you drink the entire time be water. Liquid calories generally get in the way of our fat loss goals… are their exceptions? Sure, but not for these 42 days.
#2 Know where you are starting. Measure your waist, hip, and thighs so you have your numbers and also do a few fitness tests before you get started.
#3 Go gluten and dairy free. Many people have food sensitivities to gluten and dairy, so lets just go off it for these 42 days and see if you feel any different, and then reintroduce them after.
#4 Consume a good amount of fat (30% or more) to regulate hormones, boost metabolism and make you feel full. Coconut oil, real butter, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds are all great sources of fat.
#5 Exercise 4-6 times per week doing a combination of intense weight training, burst training, and two days of longer distance cardio. We need to turn your body into a fat burning machine. Really focus on your leg exercises for weights, because they are your biggest muscle groups, burn the most calories, and are what you are trying to change to slip into your skinny jeans.
#6 (Bonus) Have at least 2-3 others who are checking up on you and supporting you and making sure you are following through on your 42 day commitment.
