Nutrition Coach Dr. Ro Gives Us 10 Tips To “Lose The Final 15” And Clean Up Our Diets - Page 10
What Exactly Is the “Lose Your Final 15” Program?
It’s called “Lose Your Final 15” for a reason. It’s not just about losing the final 15 pounds that you have, it’s about losing whatever your weight is, 15 pounds at a time and losing it forever. The point of this is, I’ve helped over a half million viewers on The Dr. Oz Show lose more than five million pounds in a single season by doing something similar to this. We did it 10 pounds at a time. The reason I’m doing it now and why I did it then is because studies show that people who lose weight and keep it off the longest are those who do it in small, digestible chunks. If you do small, manageable chunks, you don’t get overwhelmed. If you have 40 or 50 pounds to lose, you’re much more likely to get it off or keep it off to lose it if you prove to yourself first that you can lose that first 15. It gives you momentum to keep going and motivation and inspiration so you don’t feel overwhelmed. When you have a big number, people just become overwhelmed and it becomes all consuming. The diet is all they can think about and then they think about deprivation: “I have to deprive myself of this and I have to deprive myself of that.” The reason I developed this plan is to give you 15 servings of food a day. You don’t have to deprive yourself of anything while still dropping pounds. The first phase of the diet is to really stoke your metabolic fire and start your body in fat-burning mode. It’s to prime your body for the change it’s about to make. The second phase is the assimilation phase. Your body is getting used to the changes that you’re making in your diet. The third phase is coast and maintain. That’s the phase you can live on for the rest of your life.
