7 BLOCKS, 7 TIPS, 7 DAYS


OF MEALS
HOLISTIC SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
You are probably here because you are feeling sluggish, you experience cravings you
can’t control, and you’re generally not feeling great in your own body.
Perhaps it’s been a struggle for you to feel good in your own skin, your body shape may
have changed, and you aren’t comfortable with it anymore.
• Do you know what’s getting in the way between you and your personal
happy weight?
• What could be blocking you and hindering you?
• What imbalances in your body are playing a role in all this?
This 7-Day Happy Weight Program is about starting and developing routines and habits
that are sustainable for you. It's not easy and this is not a quick fix - the first 7 days will
help you form habits and sustain this over a longer period to help you achieve your happy
weight.

‘Forming healthy habits and practising them


consistently is the biggest key for success.’

“Holistic sustainable
weight loss is all about
learning a new lifestyle
that is healthier”
- Lisa Curry

YES, the balance of calories in versus calories out certainly matters; however, there are
some really important factors that are often ignored in typical weight loss programs.
Ironically, these are often the biggest and most significant hurdles.

They should always be considered, because if you are struggling, then it’s highly likely
that these issues are affecting you - we refer to these as the 7 blocks to weight loss.

Happy weight is a tool to assist you to reduce weight


naturally through reducing overall calorie intake whilst
working on the common BLOCKS towards weight loss.

THE 7 BLOCKS
TO WEIGHT LOSS

5
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

So first up,
what are the
7 blocks to
Weight Loss?

1 Insulin resistance
2 Oestrogen dominance
3 Thyroid issues
4 Stress and sleep issues
5 Digestive issues
6 Toxin accumulation
7 Unhealthy relationships with food

Let’s delve into these 7 blocks or hurdles and


what they may mean for you.

6
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

1
INSULIN RESISTANCE
This is when your cells are not receptive to the effects of insulin anymore. Essentially, your
cells are burnt out. It is insulin’s job to help get sugar out of your bloodstream and into
cells to make energy.

EAT FOOD

INSULIN
FEEL TIRED MAKE INSULIN
& HUNGRY RESISTANCE

SUGAR STORES CELLS RESIST


AS FAT INSULIN

You end up with blood sugar levels which are higher


than they should be and more fat storage,
especially around the abdomen.

In the case of insulin resistance, you have high blood sugar levels because even though
your pancreas is releasing insulin to get sugar out of your blood and into your cells,
it’s simply not happening. You end up with blood sugar levels that are higher than
they should be and more fat storage, especially around the abdomen. Then excess fat
will secrete chemicals that further impair insulin sensitivity of your cells and tissues,
and so the vicious cycle continues.

7
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

2
OESTROGEN DOMINANCE
This occurs when there are far higher levels of oestrogen compared to progesterone.
It happens when oestrogen is at normal levels but progesterone is low, and also when
oestrogen levels are high but progesterone is normal.

This is a hallmark occurrence in perimenopause


when progesterone levels begin to drop, but it can happen
any time throughout a woman’s life if her hormones
are out of balance.
When oestrogen levels are in their normal range, it helps with the metabolism of fat as
oestrogen plays a role in the signalling of fat production for fertility reasons, and prevents
the breakdown of fat. However, once an imbalance occurs, a cycle of excess fat production
can occur.

3
THYROID ISSUES
Your thyroid is a gland in your neck which makes and releases hormones that control your
entire body’s metabolism. Various factors can affect the health of your thyroid, causing it
to either under function (hypothyroidism) or over-function (hyperthyroidism).

SYMPTOMS OF HYPOTHYROIDISM

BRADYCARDIA FATIGUE WEIGHT GAIN

INTOLERANCE CONSTIPATION JOINT PAIN


TO COLD

HAIR LOSS DEPRESSION MENSTRUAL


CHANGES

An underfunctioning thyroid is more common than an over functioning thyroid and it


causes your metabolism to slow down.

As your metabolism slows down, your basal metabolic rate plummets, and your body
thinks it requires fewer calories to function. Meaning, what you used to eat, that allowed
you to maintain a steady weight, now causes you to put on weight. The most common
cause of an under-functioning thyroid is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s
Thyroiditis. This is driven by missignalling of the immune system, creating antibodies that
attack the thyroid tissue and compromises thyroid function.

As your metabolism slows down, your basal


metabolic rate plummets, and your body thinks
it requires fewer calories to function

T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

4
STRESS & POOR SLEEP
Regardless of what stress we are dealing with, our body’s hormonal response is the
same. Sleep deprivation or poor sleep acts as a major stressor to the body, so don’t
underestimate the effect that this has on your journey towards your happy weight.
When we are under stress our body releases our main stress hormone called cortisol. It is
released by our adrenal glands (on top of our kidneys). Cortisol can mess with our insulin
and blood sugar balance.
Because of this, excess cortisol levels are linked with overeating, weight gain, and increased
belly fat. Over time, this situation can also lead to insulin resistance.

& CRAVINGS

SLOWS METABOLISM TO EXERCISE

DISRUPTS SLEEP, CAUSING


INFLAMMATION, FATIGUE
AND INCREASED APPETITE

One of the reasons why sleep is so important is because when we sleep, we release
melatonin. This is our sleepy hormone, it acts as an antioxidant. As an antioxidant, it
quenches free radicals and literally protects our cells from the effects of stress, day
to day toxins we are exposed to, some side effects of medications, pollution, and
inflammatory foods that we eat. Additionally, melatonin which is released through the
night can assist with fat burning, and maintaining your lean body mass.

10
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

Have you ever noticed that after really poor sleep,


crashing energy levels cause you to feel more cravings
for calorie and sugar dense foods?
That’s right, your lack of sleep will impair your insulin and glucose balance, causing you to
have blood sugar peaks and crashes. This is what leads you to reach for the chocolates,
or the cookies to help prop you up.
If this is you, this cycle needs to be addressed and broken. Good solid sleep will aid with
recovery from exercise, fat burning and muscle building, it helps our brain’s detoxification
system so we feel fresh.

T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

5
DIGESTIVE ISSUES
A whole array of factors including stress, medications, and a processed diet, can
compromise your gut bacteria. Ensuring that the colony of microbes in your gut (your
microbiome) is diverse and thriving is a key component of achieving a healthy weight.
A diverse and nourished gut microbiome helps manage body weight by influencing your
metabolism, and imbalances in your gut bacteria can cause all sorts of issues. When this
happens, beneficial bacteria decline and there may also be less diversity in the types of
bacteria. ALL of this can be influenced by what you eat.
Let’s get a better understanding of how the microbes in your gut behave:

The liver The stomach The brain The muscles Fat tissue affects
affects affects gastric affects feelings affect the ability abdominal fat
metabolism and emptying and the of hunger and to use fat as an leading to insulin
inflammation feeling of fullness satiety energy source resistance and
inflammation

Your gut microbes break down carbohydrates into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs),
vitamins and other metabolites. These SCFAs act as energy for the cells of your di-
gestive tract. They also allow your gut to communicate with different cells in your
body, including your brain and central nervous system via the vagus nerve.
All these processes will affect your overall metabolism, appetite and food intake.
These SCFAs are involved in the release of gut hormones that regulate your appetite
by keeping you feeling satiated. They also play a role in regulating insulin and the way
you regulate fat storage.

12
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

The bacteria living in your digestive tract


play a major role in controlling your appetite,
and your entire body’s metabolism.

When these hormones are at normal levels, they help to suppress and maintain a
healthy appetite, but when they are lacking, you will feel the need to eat more and
feel more peckish.
What you eat, and the health of your gut bacteria is super important in maintaining a
healthy weight!

T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

6
ACCUMULATION OF TOXINS
There are chemicals in substances and foods that we come into contact with on a daily
basis which can have a negative effect on your hormonal pathways, and the metabolism
of your hormones. These are termed EDCs, or endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and are
commonly found in herbicides and pesticides, cleaning products, makeup and skin
care products.

THERE ARE ALSO CHEMICALS TERMED OBESOGENS,


WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO INTERFERE WITH FAT
METABOLISM AND CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN.
Obesogens can also be an endocrine-disrupting chemical, meaning that they affect fat
metabolism by interfering with your normal hormonal function.
By affecting your hormones, these chemicals have the potential to interfere with your
hunger signals, blood sugar balance, cravings, and appetite control. Minimising the usage
of products containing chemicals that interfere with hormone function, whilst supporting
your detoxification and elimination processes, contribute to the clearance of toxins that
may be affecting your ability to achieve a healthy weight. You can start simply by:

Eating organic or non-sprayed produce when possible.

Swapping conventional cleaning products for cleaning products which are eco-
friendly, and more natural.

Using skincare products, toiletries and sanitary hygiene items which are natural
where possible.

Avoiding drinking and eating out of plastics and definitely not heating plastics in
the microwave.

7
AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
An unhealthy relationship with food can include a whole range of behaviours, but
more commonly, we see unhealthy relationships with food encompassing elements of
punishment and reward, deprivation, bingeing, and yo-yo dieting.
Of course, there are plenty more variations of this, but in essence, it is important to
know that a current or past history of an unhealthy relationship with food can act as a
significant blockage that prevents you from achieving a healthy weight.

How so?

16
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

THERE ARE MANY WAYS,


BUT SOME SIGNIFICANT POINTS INCLUDE:
• Interfering with gut-brain pathways - Binge eating impairs the health of our gut
which indirectly influences our brain chemicals and feelings of hunger and fullness.
• Compromising the health of your gut microbiome - emotional eating and poor food
choices impact our gut microbiome which in turn negatively influences energy,
metabolism, hunger and fullness.
• Affecting your thyroid hormone function - specific nutrient deficiencies, inflammation,
and even yo-yo dieting can compromise how you produce thyroid hormones leading
to either hyper or hypothyroidism.
• Impairing pancreas function - The pancreas is responsible for insulin and blood sugar
control and when we drastically restrict calories and then binge eat, unpredictable
cravings and blood sugar issues arise, which affect fat storage and fat metabolism.

Understanding the different types of body fat


and the link to your happy weight?

Fat tissue is located in different parts of the body, but we have subcutaneous fat which
sits under your skin and also visceral fat. Visceral fat is located deeper, it surrounds
your organs and excess visceral fat is linked to a higher risk of metabolic illness.

17
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FATTY TISSUE

1 Stay hydrated
• Drink at least 2 litres of filtered water daily. This helps to eliminate toxins and can
improve energy, skin health and digestion.
• Add Happy Greens or Happy Turmeric to your water for an extra boost.
• Dehydration can be mistaken for hunger, so drinking enough fluids is key!

2 Eliminate
• We challenge you to completely avoid processed sugar, caffeine, and alcohol for
the next 7 days. For some people, this can be difficult, and we are here to support
you through it.
• Make sure to rest if your body needs it, this may be a big challenge but your body
will thank you for it.

3 Move your body


• Add incidental movement throughout your day. Eg: Walk when it’s an option, park
further away from the shops, stand instead of sit.
• Use a step tracker (like a sports watch).
• Take time to stretch daily
• Set small weekly goals, e.g. walk daily for 20 minutes, 100 crunches for the week, 15
minutes of yoga per day.
• Find someone who you can set goals with, then you will be accountable to them.
• Include movement and exercise that is fun, spend time in nature, hike, walk on the
beach, fly a kite, play with your kids.
• Helps your body keep all systems on go, and it is an important aspect of detoxifying.

20
T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

MEAL PROGRAM

T H E 7 - D AY H A P P Y W E I G H T P R O G R A M

A HEALTHY APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE


WEIGHT MANAGEMENT IS HOLISTIC
It is not about solely depriving you of calories to trigger weight loss. Yes, you need to be in
a calorie deficit to shed weight, but the metabolic effect of each calorie that you consume
is equally as important. This is why it is important to consume foods that have a favourable
impact on your metabolism and not to focus solely on the caloric value of foods.

What would we do if we didn’t have nutritional panels telling us the caloric value of everything
we ate? What if we only had access to whole foods that came from the earth that didn’t
come with a number telling you how many calories were in them? Would you be able to
listen to your body’s cues in order to eat to achieve and maintain your happy weight?

Every person who struggles to achieve a healthy weight is dealing with blocks that are
hindering this from happening. We have a wonderful naturopathic solution addressing
common weight loss blockages.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD


CANNOT BE OVERSTATED!
You can exercise and move your body as much as you want, but if what you are putting in
your body isn’t supporting you to achieve your goals, then it is pretty pointless.

In saying this…Here is our one week kickstart to a happier, healthier YOU. This program
provides you with the meal plan that you need to start developing healthy habits which will
set you up for achieving your goals

All recipes are high in fibre, protein, and healthy fats, to keep you satiated throughout the
day and to keep your blood sugar levels stable with minimal cravings. Together with our
Happy Weight product, this simple but effective plan will give you an excellent 7 days of
rejuvenation.

If you feel like you want to continue after completing this, then, we suggest doing our 28-
Day Happy Reset Program by Lisa Curry.

7 TIPS TO MAKE THIS AS EASY AS POSSIBLE


1 Make your blueberry protein muffins the day before you start, make a batch and
freeze. Heat as you need. If you won’t be baking muffins, you can have almonds
and an apple, boiled eggs, vegetable sticks and hummus, seaweed snacks or
yoghurt instead – as per the meal plan.

2 Make your basic hummus at the beginning of the week, or you can purchase a tub
of hummus.

3 Chop your carrot and celery sticks and keep them in the fridge.

4 Get 4 ziploc bags and prep all your Happy Weight Lean Smoothie ingredients.
Put ½ a peeled banana (optional), 1 cup of blueberries, a handful of greens, flaxseeds
or flax meal, in each ziploc bag and freeze so they are ready at the start of the week.
Add Happy Weight and your milk of choice when you are ready to blend.

5 Boil 5 eggs and keep them in the fridge.

6 If you are out, order a meal with half a plate of vegetables and a palm sized portion
of protein (eg: chicken/beef/fish and salad or cooked vegetables)

7 Easy emergency foods if you are not well prepared: Have leftovers! Otherwise,
chop up a big bowl of vegetables you have in your fridge, keep them raw or saute/
steam, add protein of your choice (2 boiled eggs, a can of salmon/tuna, turkey breast,
tofu etc), drizzle with apple cider vinegar, top with a dollop of hummus and sprinkle
with seeds.
