​

2. Stay away from fried foods, frozen microwave dinners, pizza, and eating take out food.  We want to keep food moving and being absorbed freely through our intestinal tract during this phase.  These items can slow things down...and we don't want that!

​

3. Exercise daily.  You should be exercising at least 4 days per week.  Your transformation will happen faster if you burn calories through exercise while making these dietary changes.  Depending on your lifestyle and ability choose to exercise for 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or a full hour!  You can even do 10 minutes early in the day and 10 minutes later that same evening.  It's also okay if you have to use a different exercise option everyday...as long as you consistently get moving!  If you need exercise suggestions, please tell me in your journal.

​

4. Allow yourself a cheat meal on the weekend!  Notice I said "cheat meal" not "cheat day".  Pick one meal/type of food that you've been denying yourself in order to stay on track this week.  Enjoy it as you celebrate your progress!

​

5. Social Media Post: Post an Instagram Photo/Video of a high fiber food you are eating this week along with how many grams of fiber per serving!  Be sure to tag me @stanpfitness
