Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they answer your questions and break down the tweak that we see in The Program this week. This is the live recording from March 13, 2024.

You can find the full video hosted at:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2024

Topics covered:

• With the Tweak This Week, we are changing things up and phasing off the basic Food Plan
• Reviewing where members are at this week and some of the struggles they’re facing
• The importance of continuing to be mindful and asking ourselves the Mindfullness questions - not just adding fat and protein without being mindful of the total composition of our meals and snacks
• A spoonful of nut butter is not a snack on its own! Hemp hearts are a great addition to add healthy fat and protein
• This week is not Keto. We are bumping up nutrient value by adding some fat and protein - the focus of our snack remains the same
• We are going from two afternoon snacks to one by bumping up the nutrient value of our one snack with added protein and healthy fat
• As we move on, we don’t want to be following a schedule but instead, be checking in and assessing what we need throughout the day
• How much protein is enough? This isn’t a deprivation diet where things are limited. When following The Livy Method, you are getting the protein your body needs
• The importance of trying the tweak even if you’re feeling concerned about going down to one afternoon snack
• Digging deeper into the afternoon snack and how it should be put together
• Why we don’t count grams of protein and how we learn to be in tune with our body’s needs in the moment
• When we’re adding in protein and fat, we’ll naturally find the portion size that satiates us decreasing
• There is no right or wrong way to approach the tweak this week
• Looking deeper into the snacks this week - discussing high-quality protein powders, if you want to include them
• The benefits to starting your day with a higher protein breakfast
• We’re looking to minimize heavier carbs this week. If you want to add them in, lunch is still the best option for them
• This week’s tweak is setting us up for Personalizing the Plan in the coming weeks
• Next week we will be introducing Back On Track - a tool to help us get back at it when things go off the rails

• Long plateaus and the importance of them
• The effects of processed foods (or foods we may be sensitive to) and how they leave us feeling
• Plateaus - what length of time is considered normal and what do plateaus tell us?
• The scale tells a story - utilize the graphs the app provides to assess how your body is responding to The Program
• Plateaus are an important and necessary part of the fat loss journey, allowing the body to adjust to the changes you’ve created and sustain the weight loss permanently
• It takes the body at least 12 weeks to create change
• You don’t have to do all of the things, you need to do all of the things your body needs you to do. This will be individual for each us

• The benefits of keeping a food journal to highlight the foods that have us feeling unwell
• Recognizing when we’re at the point of solidifying our weight
