Have you had enough of dieting? Sick of getting on the scale only to see the same number? Well, fear not! I am so excited to share with you the TLS 21 Day Challenge. Read on if you want to lose weight and get in shape! I GUARANTEE RESULTS!! This program is totally doable, affordable, and is perfect for anyone who is serious about making a total body transformation.

Check out this informative video:

How is it different from other weight loss programs?

The first week of the TLS program is a detox. This is essential for success as it improves metabolism, curbs cravings, and cleanses the digestive tract and liver. Your digestive system can suffer from consuming unhealthy foods and causes poor digestion and inadequate absorption of nutrients. Detoxing kick starts your weight loss!

What supplements are recommended?

  1. NutriClean 7-Day Cleansing System: gently cleanses the colon and liver
  2. Isotonix OPC-3 with Pycnogenol: this antioxidant fights oxidation and free radicals in the body
  3. Isotonix Multivitamin: Delivers 100% of the daily value of essential vitamins and minerals, helping support the body’s ability to metabolize fats and carbohydrates.
  4. TLS CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor: TLS Core assists with weight loss and helps inhibit carbohydrate absorption in the body.
  5. TLS Nutrition Shakes: Delicious chocolate and vanilla shakes that include the optimal balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats along with fiber.

Why are dairy and grains not allowed?

TLS is strict and designed for rapid but healthy weight loss, and dairy and grains can slow weight loss efforts.

Coconut oil coffee: a nutritious morning beverage!

On By Dani Sanusi FitnessIn fitness, nutrition, nutritional supplement, recipe, recovery, workoutLeave a comment

 Coffee, yum! But coffee and coconut oil?? Yep! It’s delicious AND nutritious. It’s even a great pre-workout drink when timed correctly, too!

Coconut oil has countless health benefits, but I’ll keep my explanation very simple. It is mostly made up of MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides). They are absorbed fast and give a quick boost of energy without the anxiety, helping increase metabolism while also reducing hunger and suppressing appetite. This can help curb making poor food choices throughout the day, which leads to a healthier you! If you drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and then workout, it also primes your muscles to accept the protein in your first post workout meal (For more info, check out Ori Hofmekler, author of the Warrior Diet). What a winning combo, right?

 I make my coconut oil coffee by adding a tablespoon or two to my hot coffee, and using my aerolatte mixer to emulsify it. This creates a thicker, creamy consistency that is so delicious! I would recommend starting with a half tablespoon and working your way up. If you need that extra bit of sweetness, feel free to add a little bit of your preferred method of sweetener. Make sure you get the virgin coconut oil so you get those MCTs and optimal nutrients as well as flavor. Use it to cook with too! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Happy coconutting!

Warmly,

Dani

Top 5 best ways to stay on track for a fit summer

On By Dani Sanusi FitnessIn fitness, goal, gym, health, motivation, nutrition, resolution1 Comment

How have your new year’s fitness resolutions been going? Do you have a hard time keeping yourself consistent? It isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Don’t give up on yourself! Here are my top 5 ways to help you stay on track to reach your fitness goals this summer!

1. Lose it app

This app keeps me accountable for everything I eat. One might say that it is a little excessive to log everything you eat, but think about it. Wouldn’t you be less likely to fall off track if you account for the things you eat? I know I am much less likely to eat that fifth cupcake 😉

2. Never miss a Monday

Habits are essential to success, and Mondays can be hard. But if you make sure you never miss a Monday, it will help you significantly to keep on going. Sure, we are all tired on Mondays. Maybe we had a little ‘too’ much fun this weekend and are paying for it. It’s so easy to say to yourself, “Ah, I’ll just hit the gym tomorrow”. But then that becomes the next day, and the next day, and before you know it you’ve missed an entire week. Don’t let the Monday’s get you down! Take out your frustration on Mondays at the gym!

3. Eat clean, and shop on the outer parts of the grocery store

Ever noticed how you feel better when you eat well? Your skin is clearer, your mood improves, you sleep better, you’re more ‘regular’ in the restroom? I know I sure do. Some cheat meals just ruin the way I feel for the rest of the day, or even the next few days. Eat real foods, and don’t undo all your hard work that you’re putting into the gym. I promise you this: You can not out train your diet. If you have to skip anything, skip the workout over the healthy foods.

4. Have a workout buddy

If I promise a friend I am going to meet them for a run, I’ll be there. It’s that simple. Find someone with a similar goal; it could be your significant other, a coworker, a friend, whatever! Make specific plans to meet at the gym or go to something active together. Maybe sign up for a race and train together. Anything done with a friend will make working out that much more fun!

5. Reward yourself

Don’t completely deprive yourself. Make sure that you still allow yourself room for the little things. Not every day, and not in a large amount. I am definitely not recommending you reward yourself with a big sugary latte every time you leave the gym (refer back to #3). I am saying that you shouldn’t go crazy and not allow yourself to enjoy some guilty pleasures every once in a while. Just don’t let it become a habit, because they are super hard to break!

I hope these tips help you to keep going and stay on track! For daily motivation, find me on Instagram @danisanusifitness!

Happy fitting!

On By Dani Sanusi FitnessIn fitness, health, nutrition, protein powder, recipeLeave a comment

This is a super healthy and delicious snack when you need a a little pick-me-up! My wicked awesome friend Cory told me about this, and I just had to try it! I get snacky, and that can be a dangerous time where I can easily make the wrong food choices. This is sure to help you stay on track and get after those health and fitness goals!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 TBSP peanut butter
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • Milk of your choice (I prefer almond milk) to add to create desired consistency

Just mix the first 3 ingredients together, and add milk until creating the desired consistency. Enjoy!!

Happy eating!

GREEN Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe!

On By Dani Sanusi FitnessIn fitness, nutrition, recipe, smoothieLeave a comment

Nutrition is just as, if not more important, than all the hours you put in the gym. The best way to recover quickly and get the most out of your workout is to take care of your body by feeding it quality foods. You need that protein to rebuild those muscles, and good carbohydrates to refuel you to keep going on with your day. I do believe that you are what you eat! With that said, here is my recipe for an awesome recovery smoothie!

Combine in a blender:

  • 1/4 c nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1 c cold water
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 TBSP peanut butter
  • 2 scoops of Complete Greens powder (it tastes like an orange creamsicle and has several servings of vegetables in just two teeny tiny scoops! To purchase, click here: http://bit.ly/1nbcCiC)

Blend all the ingredients together.
THEN add:

  • 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use this stuff, it’s delicious! http://bit.ly/1a6u5kc), and blend. Make sure you wait to add your protein powder until AFTER blending this all together. It really comes together perfectly if you add it at the very end. Trust me! 🙂 Then, drink up!!

Apple Scramble Recipe!

On By Dani Sanusi FitnessIn fitness, nutrition, recipeLeave a comment

Apple scramble? Confused? Your taste buds won’t be! This is a delicious recipe perfect for Sunday brunch. My hubby loves it and he doesn’t really enjoy eggs that much (could I have married a more different man?!). His mom used to make this for him all the time! Just trust me 🙂

Ingredients:IMG_4769

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 c whole wheat flour (you can use something else of your choice as well, or the original recipe calls for white flour)
  • 2/3 cup nonfat milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sweetener of your choice (optional)
  • 1 apple, peeled and chopped
  • garnish: lemon and/or powdered sugar (very optional, it’s delicious as is, but the original recipe calls for it)

1. Combine all ingredients except apple in a bowl, mix together. In a pan over medium heat, pour mixture and stir frequently until egg is cooked.

2. Serve immediately with turkey bacon for a delicious and nutritious breakfast!

Happy eating!!

Warmly,

Dani
