My belly fat results after 5 weeks on Zing Wellbeing program
So 5 weeks ago I started my own little health kick (and following the Zing Wellbeing plans) with the goals of:
1) reducing cholesterol
2) losing belly fat (thanks menopause belly)
3) getting more energy
I don't own a scales and I don't obsess about weight or weight loss so this was always much much more than losing weight
And the reason I decided to do this was that I put these jeans on which I hadn't worn in a few months and oops they were a bit tight with a bit of overhang and excess belly fat
I put this down to the combination of menopause (thanks menopause belly) and also working so many hours on launching and building Zing Wellbeing over the past 5 months that I have neglected moving as much as I usually do.
So I decided to prioritise my health and follow the Zing Wellbeing program to a T and at the end of it will see if the jeans fit better, to see if I can reduce my tummy fat and menopause belly and share my pics along the way to show you how I am going and what I am doing.
I also had all my bloods done and my cholesterol was on a little bit the high side (which is another menopause side effect!) so I will have my bloods done again at the end of the month to see if I can bring that down from following the meals and share how that goes too
- Eating at least 90g of protein a day (My protein powder has really helped me achieve this)
- Following the meal plans daily
- Exercising 3-4 times a week plus doing a daily walk and throwing in a few swims too!
- Getting at least 8 hours sleep a night
- Switching off from my phone at 9pm
- Focusing on managing stress in the lead up to the silly season
My health results and belly fat results after 5 weeks
- I feel stronger
- I feel fitter
- I have more energy
- My gut health has really improved
- And I have definitely lost belly fat
Here is a couple of examples of a day on my plate too
- I am sticking to 90-100g of protein per day
- I am using the Wellness Smoothie as a breakfast
- I am using the protein powder as a gut health boosting snack - you can see the recipe I use to boost gut health and protein here
- I am having around 1500 cals a day and cooking from the meal plans
- And honestly with the amount of protein I have had I am not hungry and feel great!
- I am also not eating anything after 7pm to give my digestion a break over night and have a mini fast
- Feeling really good and LOVING the food from the anti inflammatory menu and the high protein menu in the Zing Wellbeing program
