Zen Project 8: She lost 10 kg in 2 months with the method –

Everyone knows that with health don’t joke. Jaade Bomfim says so: diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroid (autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the gland in the neck) at age 25, the industrial maintenance planning technician realized that all the strange symptoms she had never noticed made sense. “I was putting on more weight than usual, not counting the tiredness. I couldn’t even go up the stairs at home, ”she recalls.

So he decided to lose the excess kilos, something he had neglected until then. Started a journey diets that I found on the internet: “I did low carb, intermittent fasting… And as the results took a long time to appear, I gave up”. The numbers on the scale started to go down only when she decided to change the wrong eating habits – before that, healthy food was not part of the girl’s menu. “I was the queen of fast food (laughter). I didn’t eat greens, vegetables or any kind of salad. I had pizza for dinner almost always ”, she says.

In order to make changes to the menu, Jaade sought help from a nutritionist and, again, found it difficult to move forward. “I was very hungry between meals and I couldn’t bear to go without eating: I stuck my foot in the jackfruit.” Today she knows where the error was. “Despite following Nutri’s guidelines to eat more leafy greens, I was always left with the same choice.” She didn’t like to vary and try new flavors and the monotony of the dishes ended up awakening the desire to eat fried food and end the meal with sweet.

It was then that Jaade found out about the program Zen Project 8, by Jeunesse. “The method encourages nutritional education and, so that the person does not leave this purpose, combine protein shakes (whey + rice and pea protein + chia seed powder) and supplements (chitosin and vitamins B1, B6 and B12) for satisfy the hunger between meals and boost weight loss”, explains Paloma Doro, the brand’s communication and sales director. Exactly what Jaade needed to keep eating healthy, but without starving. “I thought it would be difficult, but the shakes make me really happy. And the anxiety and compulsions have gone down,” she celebrates. In less than two months, the Bahia native from Santo Amaro lost 10 kilos (she currently weighs 74) and reduced her waist by 16 centimeters.

You exercises helped with the results. “As I was more willing in the second phase of the program, I ran to the academy I almost died of happiness completing the entire workout.” She was also more daring in the kitchen: “I learned how to make wonderful pasta from zucchini and season the salad with lemon, garlic and rosemary instead of salt.”

About his next goals, Jaade dreams of going further. “Training bodybuilding three times a week and I dedicate myself to race. I even think about participating in 5 km events”. On a daily basis, the Bahian woman no longer hesitates to switch from the elevator to the stairs and walks wherever she can. “It was challenging, but I learned to enjoy this routine. And from my slimmer body!”

In addition to the shake and supplements, the program guides how to assemble the main meals.

First phase (detox): lasts seven days and the orientation is to cut gluten, soda, alcohol, sugar and other items with the potential to cause bloating from the menu. In addition, the PGC diet is used: adequate proportions of lean protein (chicken breast, egg whites and fish in general), carbohydrate (beetroot, carrots and pumpkin — very caloric vegetables such as potatoes and corn should be avoided) and good fat (avocado, chestnuts and coconut chips) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Water is one of the only ingredients that should not be skipped: the ideal is to drink 2 to 4 liters a day.

Second phase (Ignite): The power supply for this phase, called Ignite, is practically the same as for the first. The difference here is to focus on physical activity – ideally, the person should do strength It is aerobic high intensity every day, or as much as you can during the week. if you usually count caloriesyou can let go: the method claims that it is more efficient to follow the portions and the nutritional plan indicated in the program.

Third phase (thrive): Now, in the last phase, the amount of protein, as well as the intensity of bodybuilding exercises. You don’t have to feel like anything — set aside one day of the week for something silly — as long as it’s in a small amount and at the right time. That goes for alcohol too! That way, you can keep the healthy habits and realize the transformation for life.
