What Does It Take To Drop 5 Dress Sizes In 4 Months? How To Lose Weight Naturally

Today I’m going to tell you something I’ve never shared with anyone before.

I’m going to share the secret to motivating yourself to actually stick with a diet long enough to get the results you want and reach your ideal weight.

Did you know that most people will give up on a new diet after just 5 weeks?  If you only have a few pounds to lose, this might work for you, but I had 56 pounds to lose.  So I needed to figure out a way to be strong enough to stick with the diet long enough to reach my ideal weight.  

Thankfully I figured out how to change my pattern of thinking to make it easy to stick to my diet, lose the weight and keep it off.

I’m also going to be sharing how to lose weight naturally.  This means choosing healthy foods to eat that leave you feeling strong and satisfied, rather than weak and exhausted.  Choosing the right foods means you can easily continue with the same type of diet even after you’ve lost all the weight.  This is not about going on some crazy crash diet that will leave you depleted and deprived.

Why Most Diets Fail Within 5 Weeks

First of all, let’s talk about all the different diets out there.  How can you know which is better? Which one will actually help you lose all the fat you want, and keep it off?

I do believe that most diets will help you shed weight if you stick with them long enough….

But there’s the problem right there…

Most people can’t stick to a diet long enough to reach their ideal weight.

Most people will stick to a diet for up to 5 weeks before they quit.  This might be just long enough to drop one dress size, certainly not 5 dress sizes like I did.

I’ve been there myself.  I only lasted a couple of weeks with most faddy diets that I followed specifically for weight loss.  

That’s because my hunger levels were high, cravings were off the charts, I was super tired, and therefore my willpower was just on the floor.

I was offered a cake, and I caved in. I took the cake, and another and another. And the diet was a failure. On to the next diet. And I decided to start that new diet the following Monday so that gives me a licence to keep right on shoveling in those cakes.  And whoops, I now have more weight to lose than I started with!

Can you relate to this negative pattern of dieting?  

When you have weight loss as your goal, your eye is on the weight loss prize, and your focus isn’t on something which is far more important…

Health!

When it comes to diets, focusing on improving my health has made all the difference to my motivation to stick with it for the long term.

I think your motives do have the biggest impact on how likely you are to stick with a diet.

And most of the time, the goal of losing weight, just isn’t enough to keep you on track.

But when it comes to health, for me I have many more reasons for sticking to a healthy diet such as these.

10 Inspiring Reasons To Focus On Health Rather Than Weight Loss

This is everything I gain when I focus on health (not just weight loss):

1. I have more energy to play with my kids and run after them
2. I have more strength to carry the kids bags, jackets, my own stuff and shopping all at the same time!
3. I wake up feeling full of energy and excited to start the day
4. I need much less sleep so get more useful and fun things done each day
5. I can focus and concentrate on my work and help more people
6. I feel happier and enjoy the simple things in life much more
7. I am more motivated to spend time in the kitchen preparing the healthy food that continues to give me these results
8. I am able to reach my ideal weight, and stay there
9. I am excited to do exercise as I have so much energy to burn
10. Because of my slimmer body, I have way more confidence which leads to more opportunities for success and enjoyment in life

I could probably go on and on but you get the point…

I have way more reasons to motivate myself to be healthier which also does include being slimmer.  

So that’s why I think choosing a new diet for health reasons rather than purely just to lose a few pounds, is so much more effective in both the short term and the long term.

How To Lose Weight Naturally And Stick With It

And when it comes to choosing a healthy diet, first of all you need to believe that it is going to give you all of the above benefits.

And secondly, you need to see the proof that you are getting more benefits when you actually begin the diet.

This is why I managed to stay the course and lose the 56 pounds to reach my ideal weight, because I saw the evidence in my own health within days of starting the new diet.  I saw the number on the scales dropping, yes, but I also had more energy, was feeling lighter, happier, better digestion and many other things that I noticed.

I didn’t want to quit my diet because I was feeling so good about myself. I also felt completely satisfied, not hungry and my cravings were so low that I did have the willpower to say no to the cakes. I was proud of myself which motivated me to continue on with the healthy diet.

Mentally Preparing For Your Weight Loss Journey

The Best Food To Eat For Long Lasting Weight Loss (Proven By Science)

So now you may be asking what diet did I follow?

My own diet, which I now call The Leaf System.  This involves drinking a Green Thickie (complete meal green smoothie) for breakfast, and lunch (or a salad) followed by a healthy cooked vegan meal for dinner.

One of the main reasons for the success of the diet is that it is made up from a lot of raw food and leafy greens.

It has now been proven by science that the super high antioxidant powers of green smoothies, raw food and plant based diets can be attributed to a slow down or even reversal of aging.  Plus the compounds in leafy greens actually prevent cravings and reduce hunger, while giving you more energy.

And, you don’t have to wait years to see a transformation either.  I noticed a dramatic change in my appearance within just a few months of changing my diet.

I dropped down 5 dress sizes and knocked 10 years off my appearance, plus I now experience all of the health benefits I listed above and more.

Needless to say, I’m motivated to stick with this diet and keep these benefits in my life.  (I am human though, and have had my ups and downs like most people). But right now I’m feeling on top of the world on this diet, not feeling tired and heavy like I used right after all the Christmas indulgences.

After sharing my own results, people kept asking me to create meal plans to share the kind of food I was eating.

So I did just that.

I created a meal planning system called The Leaf System which is designed for weight loss in the most healthy way possible.  And even if you don’t need to lose weight, you can still follow it as I show you how to adapt the calories to your own requirements with additional food.  

I’ve now actually created a whole year’s worth of calorie counted meal plans which involves drinking a Green Thickie for breakfast and you can choose the same again for lunch or a salad, then a cooked meal for dinner.  

There is a vegan meal plan and a meal plan that includes meat for those who are not yet ready to go vegan, but they want to transition to a much healthier diet in a more gradual way and still get results.

I also created a 28 day challenge designed to get you results fast by following the meal plan to the letter for 28 days.  We see some fantastic results for our members by taking on this challenge like this:

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
