nighttime weight loss hacks

Every day we make hundreds of choices that will either help or harm our health. Ideally the goal is to make more helpful decisions than harmful ones.

While weight loss can be frustrating, setting up a few tactiles approaches will go a long way in achieving success. This article focuses on small steps you can do in the evening hours to help you on your journey.

Before we get into it, it’s important to disclaim that it’s usually never just one thing that causes weight gain. Additional adipose tissue likely develops due to a number of factors … one of which is eating late at night. Along with that, here are a few other ideas for you.

EAT BREAKFAST

Breakfast is sooo far away from the evening, how could it have an affect on the evening? Skipping meals throughout the day can make us so ravenous at night that starvation mode causes overeating.

But what about fasting, you ask? Fasting needs a balanced blood sugar and it also likely requires working up to it. The other piece that is often missed in the fasting conversation is that it’s not just about skipping meals, what and how you eat when you are eating matters.

STOP EATING 2-3 HOURS BEFORE SLEEP

It’s harder to burn off calories while you’re sleeping compared to when you have the ability to move about while awake. Plus the body has systems and functions are designed to happen in these overnight hours, like your immune system fighting infections and inflammation, cortisol (stress hormone) lowers to allow melatonin to rise, the brain stores new information and gets rid of toxic waste, the nerve cells communicate & organize, nerve cells communicate and are restored and the lymph system carries out the trash among other processes. These won’t happen when the body is busy digesting food.

If blood sugar is a challenge, a small handful of nuts or a quarter of a banana just before bed might be helpful to balance the blood sugar through the night, allowing the body to stay asleep. The key here is a SMALL snack; it’s likely a lot less than your typical snack is.

SLEEP

Sleep is a secret weapon when it comes to weight loss. Prioritize sleep and learn about the circadian rhythym to allow the body systems to optimize optimally. Plus you’ll feel refreshed and more energetic to achieve more.

TAKE TIME TO SET UP THE NEXT DAY

It’s hard to sleep when you’re ruminating about all the stuff you need to get done the next day. Create a routine that allows you to take note of what is coming up for the next day, jotting down any notes that may keep you awake. Keep that journal by your bed so you can quickly drop down anything else that comes up, allowing you to get back to the sleep at hand.

What is the 7-day Spring Fling?

The 7-day Spring Fling is seven days of nutrient dense foods to boost our immunity, release winter drag and combat sugar consumption.

Out of all the things we ingest, sugar is the one that can do the most damage. Aside from diabetes, heart issues, tooth decay, saggy skin and decreased brain function, energy and immunity, studies have even shown that cancer likes to feed off the sugar in our bodies.

What foods will I eat?

Glorious, nutritious, delicious Monique food! Seriously, we aren’t depriving ourselves here. It’s all about whole, natural food. Let’s eat! #beinghealthyisfinallydelicious

Is there a guide?

Absolutely. You’ll receive a guidebook, recipes and a base shopping list. Plus access to a private Facebook page (not required) with extra daily motivation. Monique will be with you every step of the way.

What happens when I stop eating sugar?

Removing any substance from your body could cause a few feelings in the first couple of days. We are all very individual, so it’s touch to calculate how you might feel. Think of it this way, headaches or a little crankiness could be signs that you were enjoy sugar too much and it’s great knowledge to build on.

The sooner you sign up, the sooner you start receiving tips to reduce sugar prior to start of the 7-day Spring Fling.

Do I have to give up coffee?

Not if you don’t want to. But if you decide to drink coffee, I’m going to share a few tricks to help slow the absorption of the caffeine.

Is this a detox?

No, certainly not in the traditional sense. Instead, we are focused on eating whole foods for one week. That’s it. Super simple.

EVERYDAY WELLNESS PROJECT with Jennifer and Monique  

Wellness is a state of being healthy in the mind, body, and soul. But living a healthy life doesn’t happen in a vacuum. If you adopt an entirely new lifestyle tomorrow (think diets!), you can’t expect the world around you to automatically adapt to your “new” lifestyle. 

 

That’s why we created the EVERYDAY WELLNESS PROJECT. It’s a very simple monthly subscription service designed to give you an opportunity to learn about, and take steps towards, mindful modifications to your habits. The result is more lasting and long-term meaningful healthier living.

YOU’RE BUSY, UNMOTIVATED, IN A RUT- WE GET IT!

 

Has your health taken a backseat? This is a typical result when we find ourselves in these challenging times. It’s ok, we’ve all been experiencing varying levels of commitment to our health. The key is getting back on track. 

 

THESE ARE THE TIMES OUR BODY NEEDS US MOST

These are the times when it’s ultra important to keep our immune systems strong, to commit to a consistent routine, to keep a healthy mind and body, and to breathe deep. 

 

Skipping exercise & not being health conscious feels acceptable during stressful times. But once you start, it can easily lead into a month of this pattern! When you miss one session, it can lead to missing two, leading to missing three, six or a whole month of movement. The same happens with our food intake- how many times has one slip, one decision to eat something you know won’t make you feel great in the long run,ended up sabotaging an entire day?

 

COMFORT FOODS AND LETHARGY ARE TYPICAL UNINITIATED RESPONSES TO STRESS.

A global pandemic is a major contributor to stress.

Stress eating. Anxiety eating. Boredom eating. Crap-food is-easier-to-eat eating.

The more you eat this way, the more you will crave those foods. Then you’ll feel unmotivated and sluggish leading you to feel disappointed. Which then causes you to reach for those same foods again because the ‘why stop now’ or ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ talk kicks in. Thus the perpetual cycle ensues.

 

Being lethargic leads to lack of motivation to do the things that are good for our health, physically & mentally. 

 

IT’S TIME FOR A REJUVENATING BOOST WITH ‘LEGS’!

We needed a solution that could help us and our clients snap out of a rut. 

 

EVERYDAY WELLNESS isn’t about crazy diet schemes, month long water fasts or any other outrageous health craze. 

  • It’s about making daily choices towards our wellbeing, and calming the mind through simple breathwork to allow you to approach your day with more ease.
  • It’s about taking a break from some of the habits that may not be serving your best health.
  • It’s about shifting the focus to quality, wholesome food and thinking very intentionally about what we are eating and how we are living.
  • It’s about feeling more radiant and more at peace.

 

The best part is that this isn’t just a little reset. It’s an ongoing commitment to your long-term wellness. What you learn every week is knowledge you will use for a lifetime.

 

WE PRACTICE THIS ON OURSELVES!

We don’t believe in asking you to do things we wouldn’t do ourselves. We’ve made a commitment to focus on our health, as a result we consistently experience:

  • Boundless energy
  • Better digestion including less bloating
  • Better sleep
  • Glowing skin
  • Increased happiness
  • Stronger self awareness
  • Less aches and pains
  • Easier weight management

 

WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?

  • Food Freedom
  • Mindful Mindset 
  • Taller, leaner body
  • Increased flexibility
  • Ability to manage stress better
  • More balanced hormones
  • Ways to balance your blood sugar
  • <insert> what you want to experience here (you are going to be the creator!)

5 simple tweaks for losing weight

Eating all the ‘right’ foods and still not seeing the scale budge? Food is a really big part of our weight, but how and when we eat play a big role too.

Plus, breaking weight loss down into small, manageable bites is easier than putting pressure on yourself to see large numbers move. Incorporating small, eating hygiene changes can actually help how your body processes the food you do eat.

Here are my top 5 favorite tips for helping to nudge the needle (especially on those last few pounds):

  1. Stop eating after 7pm at night: This is my #1 tip. Eating late at night forces the body to work on digesting when it should be resting and repairing. All this food ends up getting stored in places you don’t want it too.
  2. Fill up on veggies FIRST: Instead of feeling like you have to skip food, just reverse the order of items you eat first. Finish all the vegetables first, then if you are still hungry have a few bites of the rest (the bread, the meat, the starch.) You might find that the bread in that basket actually is too hard to even enjoy by that time and not worth it.
  3. Drink water away from meals: I’ll bet you’ve heard just the opposite, right? So many people say to fill up on water before eating so you feel less full. But, when you load up on water and pile a bunch of food on top, it’s only going to make you more bloated. And it dilutes your much needed stomach acid which is going to complicate the entire digestive process. Drinking plenty of water is key (half your body weight in ounces), but do it away from meals for the best benefit.
  4. Enforce the Table Rule: Eat every meal at a table, not at your desk or on the couch in front of the TV. Conscious eating (focusing on the food, slowing down, chewing) will help you eat less and slower, so your body will be focused on digestion so you’ll experience less gas and bloating too.
  5. Brush your teeth..often!: nothing tastes good, or is even appealing, after brushing your teeth. Feel a craving coming on? Stop and brush it away.
  6. BONUS TIP: Reduce the amount of food you are eating. We’ve become desensitized to extremely large portion sizes, over-sized plates and jumbo drinks. Make a fist and hold that against your plate of food. Will it all fit in inside that fist, because that is roughly the size of your stomach. Saving just 20% of your food for a light snack later can help reduce the load on the entire digestive process.

Roasted & Spiced Cauliflower Soup

Is there anything cauliflower can’t do? I love the versatility of vegetable, but also don’t want to forget about the classics- like soup. Like this Roasted Cauliflower Soup.

This is a super easy recipe that is mostly hands off thanks to roasting the cauliflower with all the spices. Just pop it in the blender and it’s good to go. No onions or garlic either so it’s a great option for anyone following a FODMAP diet- but you could add them and roast with the cauliflower if you wanted to.

 

Happy Eats,

Monique

 

Roasted & Spiced Cauliflower Soup

1 head of cauliflower (roughly 5-6 cups )

1 tbls olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp pink Himalayan or sea salt

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp pepper

Juice of 1 orange

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Break the cauliflower into smaller florets and toss with the olive oil and all the seasonings. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until desired texture is reached.

Cool slightly and place in a blender along with the orange. Add a smidge of water as needed to blend.

NOTES: I really like this soup to have texture, so blend on a low speed to keep this more chunky and hearty. Blend on high if you want it more smooth.

the one thing you can do to improve your health now

If you could do one thing to improve your health now, would you?

Do you find yourself constantly thinking about the same health goals over and over again. Have you made the same health resolution every year?  Do you secretly lay awake at night telling yourself ‘tomorrow is going to be different”?

If you’ve ever heard me speak you know that I don’t believe in diets. Just the mention of the word ‘diet’ makes most people scrunch their nose, roll their eyes or completely tense right up. Diets have an end date to the them, an end date that marks the beginning of eating exactly like (or even worse) than before you started the diet in the first place. And that just starts the whole yo-yo cycle.

When it comes to health changes, slow and steady wins the race. Making small, achievable & sustainable modifications. I’ll tell you a little secret- those changes aren’t all about food. Food is a big, big part of health but it’s not everything.

Achieving great health means balancing a number of pillars, including learning to manage stress, getting good sleep, positive thinking and a sense of purpose and belonging among others.

But it doesn’t mean you have to try to achieve this all in one day.

That’s why I created the 21 Day Refresh. Honesty, I won’t lie. I really struggled with whether this should be only 5 or 10 days. It’s certainly more approachable for everyone, including me! But it truly didn’t take us 5 days to get into the shape we are now, so it’s a bit of odd logic to think we can fix it all in just 5 days…isn’t it?

I chose 21 days because

  • it takes roughly 3 weeks (21 days) to form a new habit
  • this isn’t a diet
  • you will just keep feeling better
  • there is no better time than January to start fresh and commit to you
  • 21 days = confidence!

Yes, I have run a number of detoxes in the past and likely will run them in the future too. But not everyone is ready for a detox – physically or mentally. Plus smoothies and broths just might not be your thing.

So this time I’m removing the craziness of detoxing and getting back to basics with whole foods. Along with that, we are incorporating simple lifestyle tools which allow your body to transition to a healthier life at an easy and comfortable pace.

What if you could begin to experience the benefits of a cleanse without detoxing?

  • Achieve weight loss?
  • Reset eating schedules?
  • Reduce inflammation?
  • Increase energy?
  • Find more peace in your day?
  • Decrease joint pain?
  • See the glass as half full?
  • Clear up your skin?
  • Sleep a little better?
  • Lift brain fog?
  • Experience a reduction in anxiety and depression?

I’d love to have you join me on this 21 day adventure. Make the commitment to just try it just for five days. Then try adding a few more days and then a few more days after that.

So what is the one thing you can do to improve your health right now? Make the commitment to join us for the the 21 Day Refresh.

All you have to do is show up.

The only question you have to ask yourself is: How do I want to feel?

P.S. – I saved the best part for last! If you’re in the Chicagoland area and need an extra hand cooking- I’ve got you covered with a meal delivery service to get you through the 21 days. Just sign up and then let me know you are interested in this delicious, home cooked add on!

Your Holiday Eating Pre-Set is here!

Like it or not, the holidays are looming and so is our to-do list:

  • hang lights
  • decorate
  • stuff the turkey (or tofurkey)
  • run around to 10 stores to find just the right present for everyone
  • wrap presents
  • ship packages
  • schedule travel
  • rsvp for parties
  • bake cookies
  • hang the lights
  • send out holiday cards
  • etc, etc, etc.

Funny how our lists never seem to include the one thing that helps us all deal with stress, boost our immune system, combat illness OR that would help us fit into that little black dress … or even the jeans I wore just last month …

I totally get it- the holiday’s are out of control for most of us! How are you supposed to add in one more to-do to an already over-crammed schedule? Plus putting yourself first feels a bit selfish, especially this time of year!?

So we go into the holidays ‘expecting‘ to gain weight.

      ‘Expecting’ to come out more tired, groggy and brain-foggy.

‘Expecting’ to have more cravings for sweets, caffeine and alcohol.

I know I DO!  Or, I used too.

But then I took the time to put myself first and re-set, or rather pre-set, my eating and self care.  Whoa, what a difference to head into the holidays with a new mindset! I was set up to succeed rather than fail. I found I actually accomplished more and even enjoyed the holidays more. And I didn’t feel like I gave anything up either. I was able to make wiser choices and attend more events because I had so much energy and still indulge when I wanted. Plus I was able to rebound and recover better.

So how would you feel if you could end your battle with the holidays before they even started?

->What if you went into them completely refreshed and reset?

->What if you could end (and even control) cravings BEFORE we get to the sweetest month of the year?

->What if you were armed with strategies to combat holiday stress?

->What if you had someone at your side to help you do all that?

->What if you could do it all in 14-days before the turkey even gets bought?

Increase energy, lose weight, decrease bloat, experience glowing skin, end sugar cravings and manage stress — this is the NEW way to get ready for the holidays!

Create a new foundation of wellness with me in just 2 weeks starting November 4th. Cick here to se all the details and register for the 14-day Holiday Eating Pre-Set.

We have an added bonus too! Dr. Gina Sirchio-Lotus is joining us so you have the opportunity to pull your lab work before and after the Pre-set help you see just how quickly the body can heal itself when given the right environment. Dr Gina is based is functional medicine and helps clients get the root of symptoms through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Both of us will be with you every day!

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • I often feel bloated
  • I crave sweets or carbs
  • I don’t sleep through the night
  • I can’t make it through the day without caffeine
  • I have hot flashes
  • I have unexplained fatigue
  • My face is puffy
  • I struggle with sluggish elimination

Regardless of how well we eat, we all carry a heavy load of toxins – from the environment, from processed foods, air and water pollution, from our makeup, shampoos and lotions and even from our cleaning supplies. Our pre-set not only focuses on nutrition and all the body elements noted above, but on self-care and stress management too.

I’ve been there and I can tell you how amazing it feels to go through a reset. Why not give yourself a gift this year, the gift of health. Join me for these simple 2 weeks to set yourself up for the best holiday ever!

FAQs

How will I feel?
Admittedly, the first 3 days could be challenging, maybe more depending on the toxicity in your body. Whatever aches, burps, rumbles and grumbles you experience in the first three days, be patient with them; they will pass. This is a fantastic opportunityto learn a little body intuition (understand the signals it’s sending you!) The body is an amazing work of art, once we start to feed it real, whole food it begins to heal.

Remember, you won’t be going through this alone!

Will I be hungry?

You don’t have to be hungry on a cleanse. This is not a juice cleanse, you will eat real food!

Can I / do I have to eat meat or fish?

Can I do this from anywhere?
