Watch for this logo for healthy recipes this Holiday Season here on MOMS CRAZY COOKING.
My Holiday Hotties Teams are going strong. We are checking in with each other daily on our facebook group and it really helps being accountable to a team. We are all on our way to loosing weight with encouragment from one another along the way. My weigh-in last week Wednesday was 159.6 and today I am at 159.4 (I am still excited because I am still down from when I began this adventure months ago). This week our challenge from The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans was exercise minutes. I did NOT do as well as I wanted. I do NOT have an excuses except for LIFE. But I am in the adventure for the LONG-HAUL, so I will just pick up where I left off and press forward.
This week is Thanksgiving and my boot camp trainer today sent an email with some good advise; "to help with the extra calories that may be consumed on Turkey Day try to take it easy the day before and the day after. Also control your portions and drink plenty of water." Thank You SHE ROCKS, I am going to take this advise and put it to use.
We had this delicious smoothie this week. It's the perfect time of year for pumpkin flavored everything, so why not have a Pumpkin Smoothie. This smoothie is so packed with nutrition that I felt stuffed all morning. I even skipped my morning snack, because I did not feel hungry at all. I estimated this only has about 225-275 calories, so I believe this is a perfect healthy breakfast. What a great shake for the morning of Thanksgiving. It's quick, easy to make and will definitely hold you over til' the big meal is served.

ReplyDeleteWhy ProGen ?
ReplyDeleteThe ProGen Method is a European medical treatment for fast weight loss, without hunger or feeling energitic. The protocol is based on a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet, that allows you to safely lose weight at the exclusive expense of fat, maintaining muscle mass and avoiding the yo-yo effect.
Discover :
The ProGen Method is tailored to your specific genes and needs. You will be assisted by a multidisciplinary team of experts who will provide you medical support as well as personalized coaching, that is not only designed to lose weight but also to keep it off forever
The Progen Method offers a wide range of protein products produced according to the highest industry standards and quality. They are available for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
ProGen Program
The main aim of this method is to secure you the benefits of maximum weight loss and the best results for your health such as well-being, disease prevention, improved cardiovascular health, and an unbeatable cosmetic outcome.
How does it work?
There are many weight-loss diets, but only the ProGen Method can help you to lose weight quickly and at the expense of fat tissue exclusively. ProGen Method is a program managed by an expert panel of dieticians based on a Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet. It uses a multidisciplinary approach to ensure effective weight loss and long-term results. The goal of the ProGen Method is twofold: Firstly, to facilitate weight loss and secondly to help you achieve the lifestyle changes required to maintain the weight loss.
Our in-house Physicians, Dieticians, Mitochondrial Activation Trainers, and Coaches work in coordination to ensure the best results.
The method is divided into two stages:
⦁The Fast Weight Loss Stage.
⦁ The Genetic Metabolic Adaptation & Lifestyle Stage
The Fast Weight Loss Stage
The first stage of treatment is based on a Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet. During this stage; you will reach your target weight thanks to a diet combining ProGen products containing high biological value proteins, and a selected list of vegetables.
During this stage, owing to the low intake of carbohydrates and fats, your body will enter into a state of controlled ketosis and start to draw on its energy reserves (fat). This ensures that the weight you lose will be primarily stored fat, preserving your muscle mass.
All this will be accompanied by the Mitochondrial Activation Training Session (MAT). The mitochondria are the cell’s powerhouse. Trillions of mitochondria are distributed throughout our bodies. Depending upon the number of mitochondria and their functionality, our health status and life expectancy are determined. Your 30-minute sessions of specific exercises will functionally activate the existing mitochondria and also generate new ones.
The Genetic Metabolic Adaptation & Lifestyle Stage
The second stage of treatment is when you adapt to the new situation, and it is just as important as the first one. During the first stage, your body will adjust to the physiological changes that will stabilize your hormonal system and basal metabolism rate. According to the results of your genetic test, different types of food will be progressively introduced in your diet to maintain your ideal weight. The diet is adapted to your individual needs and specific energy characteristics. During this stage of the treatment, you can enjoy a broad range of ProGen Lifestyle products, which provide high biological value protein and will help you to consolidate the healthy dietary habits you have acquired.
