2 GLASSES OF WINE BEFORE BED HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT

Can you believe that 2 glasses of wine before bed can help you lose weight?! Yup, that's right! I was so shocked to come across an article about this today on my FB newsfeed. When I first read the title I thought it was a joke. Another marketing ploy by the wine industry to sale more wine. However, looking more into it...I found the articles from the recent study. For all my wine loving friends that prefer Cabernet over cardio this is going to be good news. Who would have ever thought drinking two glasses of wine before bed could actually be the magic pill that helps you lose weight. In two recent studies from Washington State University and Harvard Medical School they explain why wine before be can help you lose weight.  

Here’s why:  

Apparently, there’s a polyphenol called resveratrol in red wine that transforms “white fat” into “beige fat” (aka a version that’s much easier to burn off), says researchers at WSU. Even crazier, the Harvard study, which looked at 20,000 women over the course of 13 years, determined that those who drank two glasses of wine daily were 70 percent less likely to be overweight!!! WOW!!!  

OK, so you want to know what’s the significance of night wine? Looking into this further, I found another study done by Arizona State University  with the conclusion that resveratrol also helps suppress your appetite. Resveratrol is commonly found in red wines. This means that after a glass or two of your favorite red wine, you’re less likely to raid the fridge for a late-night snack. Added bonus, you will probably enjoy a good night sleep as well. 

Not inclined to keep a bottle of Merlot on your nightstand? Other major sources of resveratrol include blueberries, strawberries and (obviously) grapes. 

For those of you that still want to drink your way slim...please remember everything in moderation. Even if you got slim this way does not mean it will look sexy. Sexy comes from sculpting your muscles. Yesssssssssss you still need to workout! However, I do have a workout plan suggestion that will allow you to sculpt your muscles and have a glass of wine. If this sounds like something you would be interested in...check out the 21 day fix. 

This 21 day program has daily workouts that are only 30mins long and shows you how you can still have your wine or chocolate while losing weight and getting sexy.

So what is 22 Minute Hard Corps anyways??

Tony Horton shares a deep appreciation and a long-standing relationship with the U.S. military. Throughout the past 15 years, he’s toured dozens of military bases all over the world, helping troops train to their maximum fitness potential. In 22 Minute Hard Corps, he’s created a challenging but simple to follow workout program inspired by training programs used by the military. You hit it hard for 22 minutes…and you’re done. If you have the will…you will get results. Because the workout is so quick, the moves are simple.  There is not much of a learning curve – it’s easy to catch on to right away.  Tony Horton didn’t want to waste time having people trying to figure out the moves.This 8-week program plus a “Hell Week” workout for week nine will leave you in tip top bootcamp shape. Don't worry ...there are levels: Cardio 1, Resistance 1, and Core 1.  You’ll do that for the first couple weeks before moving on to levels 2 and 3.  You can choose to add in more difficult workouts as you advance. 

What will you get with this program?

WORKOUTS

Resistance 1. These are 5 simple moves, but with 3 back-to-back rounds, the challenge is intense. That’s how you get results in just 22 minutes a day.

Cardio 1. This 7-move workout gets your heart pumping from Minute One. Keep up with the platoon and earn a massive calorie burn.

Core 1. It’s called “Hard Corps” for a reason. Get ready to work your lower back, abs, and obliques in this epic, 10-move drill.

Resistance 2. Did I hear you ask for more? Here it is. More resistance. More sweat. More muscles recruited.

Cardio 2. This is basic training, but there’s nothing easy about it. It’s 3 rounds of 7 exercises, just like Cardio 1, but these moves will push your limits even further.

Core 2. You’ve survived Core 1. Now the reps are doubled - to test your limits and maximize the burn.

Resistance 3. This workout takes the intensity up a click by adding plyometric strength training to challenge your endurance.

BUFFET STYLE MEAL PREP

There are going to be sometimes when you are short on time which may take away from your Sunday meal prep session. Rather than skip it altogether use this method to modify your routine to make it much faster. Instead of planning all of your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the week, IN this example we prepared simple foods that could be mixed and matched to create a variety of meals. 

Buffet-style menu includes: baked salmon filets and chicken breasts, soft-boiled eggs, steamed broccolini, sautéed mushrooms with broccoli, baked sweet potatoes, and an Asian vegetable stir-fry that came pre-chopped. We also cooked a large batch of oatmeal, and stocked the fridge with salad fixings, pre-cooked lentils, apples, bananas, hummus, almonds, and balsamic vinaigrette.

This simplified menu made shopping faster, and it took less than two hours to cook everything for the week! Each day, use the colored Portion Fix containers to build healthy, delicious meals. Scroll below for a meal example and the grocery list for this week.
