How to lose weight in two weeks is my gift to a good friend Jeff who asked me for a quick start guide to slashing his body fat. He has always been competitive and athletic, but he wants to reduce the extra layers of fat that he is carrying right now which he thought were due to age. He has seen with his own eyes that is it not all about age. Even people who are over 55, over 50 and for sure are over 40, can make the same incredible progress. So Jeff and anyone else out there who wants to follow along and use the Hashi Mashi Quick Start Guide, please do.
Jeff began the program on May 1. Today on May 2 he updated his weight table. You can see below that in only one day, he took off over 2lbs of weight and 2lbs of fat. He is even more motivated now. I told him to just go steady, one day at a time. He is anxious about the weekend. He is not sure how to lose weight in two weeks while navigating through the weekend. The plan I gave him is to just stay the course, vegetables are number one, some lean protein and enjoy a glass of dry red wine if he is socializing.

Get motivated for this two week and hopefully 30 day trial for your own health and happiness. For years, you have put processed food into your bodies. Commit to changing that up for the next 30 days and let's see what happens. I am confident that you will be aMAYzed in May!
Every time that you think bread, rice, pasta or white potato, instead I want you to think vegetables.
For example, when you are wondering what to have for breakfast and your mind lights up with an egg sandwich, just take the bread out of the picture and substitute vegetables.
Here is an example photo of a vegetable heavy breakfast, first the ingredients:
Eggland Best Eggs without added antibiotics and hormones
Yellow Pepper

I am not a chef, but here is my finished breakfast:
I guarantee you that after this breakfast, you will not have cravings to binge on bread, snickers or pizza. You will feel great!
If I had some hummus available, I could add that, olives and avocado. Of course, add whatever vegetables you want, just keep your focus on vegetables.

Rinse and repeat what I showed you above for lunch and for dinner. Your base is vegetables, add some protein, whether it be fish, chicken, turkey, grass fed beef.
For Snacks, go with berries, any type, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, add a few nuts like almonds, walnuts or brazil nuts, or an avocado, and you are done.
Here is a convenient snack and/or meal replacement grass fed whey protein shake which I use and like. A cup of unsweetened hemp milk, almond milk or 1% milk, plus 5 strawberries, a cup of ice, a tablespoon of peanut butter and one package of IsaLean Pro:
