Refrigerator-478x308

1. Only eat foods from the fridge

Fresh foods from your refrigerator are the least processed and most nutritious. For 3 weeks, cut out all foods that are boxed, processed or packaged. Eat raw foods as much as possible, which are rich in energizing nutrients. Keeping your fridge full with fresh fruits like grapes, watermelons and apples will help keep you full between meals. Instead of eating iceberg lettuce, use  dark, leafy greens for salads and side dishes. Fill your meals with plenty of veggies.


2. Have broth-based soup before every meal

Billy and Sharon swears by soup as a appetizer before meals to help you eat less. Having 1 cup of soup before you eat will fill you up before you even begin your meal. They suggest using fresh veggies or even those that may have lost their crispness to make homemade soups.


3. Eat all meats and complex carbs before 2pm

You should eat the heaviest foods in the morning when you’re most active. You’ll get the energy you need to start the day, plus your body will have plenty of time to break down the food and burn extra calories. Having lighter meals after 2pm and eating less before bed will help boost weight loss.

4. Have three snacks a day

Energy snacks are what will keep you going throughout the day. You’ll want to have snacks that are good for you and are easy to grab on-the-go. Snacks between meals will help prevent blood sugar spikes and keep you satisfied and energized.  Peanuts with a Brie cheese wedge, flavored kale chips, apple slices or dark chocolate are all good snack choices.

5. Drink a metabolism boosting drink after each meal

The couple claims that this drink will stop you from having cravings and  flush out your system to help fight bloating. The couple suggests drinking a glass after every meal.
