✨ Glow Slow Holiday — Day 3: How to Lose 5 lbs Before the End of the Year (Without Cutting Joy or Holiday Treats) ✨
There’s a stat I keep coming back to this time of year:
Most people don’t even think about getting healthy until January 1st.
They wait until the calendar flips, the decorations are packed, and the holiday overwhelm finally settles. But what I’ve learned—through coaching, through motherhood, and through taking my own health back—is this:
Your January results are created in December.
The choices you make now determine whether you start the new year already tired, puffy, and frustrated…or already glowing, energized, and 5 pounds lighter with your rhythms set.
And what I love most is that these four steps don’t speed your life up—they slow it down. Each one invites you to pause long enough to breathe, support your body, and choose rhythms that feel gentle instead of frantic.
1. Begin with the OmniCleanse Detox Kit
This is the foundation. When your detox pathways are sluggish, your metabolism is sluggish too. And during the holidays—when sugar, alcohol, stress, and less sleep are the norm—your body needs support more than ever.
The Omni Cleanse Detox helps:
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve digestion and reduce bloating
- Support your liver (your fat-burning organ!)
- Balance energy + mood
- Set the stage for easier fat loss in January
This is NOT a harsh detox. It’s a gentle, supportive protocol that clears the “static” in your system so your nutrition actually lands. Clearing out what’s congesting your metabolism is one of the easiest ways to drop a few pounds quickly—while also preparing your body for sustainable results in the new year.

2. Eat Your Body Weight in Grams of Protein
If weight loss is the goal, protein is the strategy.
Protein stabilizes your blood sugar, reduces cravings, keeps you fuller longer, and tells your body to burn fat instead of muscle.
For a 140-lb woman → aim for about 140g per day.
If you’re not there yet, no worries—start increasing slowly and focus on lean proteins like:
- Chicken
- Ground turkey
- Turkey burgers
- Lean beef
- Tuna
- Egg whites
If you need inspiration, try my Hot Honey Chicken Bowl—it’s high protein, family-approved, and delicious.

3. Get 12,000 Steps Per Day
Think of 10,000 steps as your “maintenance” zone.
If you want to lose, go 2–3k above that.
I tell my clients all the time:
Steps are the underrated secret weapon of fat loss.
Not workouts. Not cardio. Steps.
Walking stabilizes blood sugar, reduces cortisol, and keeps your metabolism humming all day long. And the best part? It forces you to slow down, breathe, and actually experience the season instead of racing through it.
👉 Quick tip: Break it up.
4k morning
4k afternoon
4k evening
Suddenly, 12k doesn’t feel like a marathon.
4. Put Your Fork Down When You’re Full
This sounds simple, but it’s one of the most powerful shifts you can make.
When you eat too quickly, your hunger hormones don’t have time to catch up—and by the time your brain realizes you’re full, you’re already past the point of comfortable fullness.
This season, practice slowing down:
- Chew your food fully
- Sip water between bites
- Put the fork down for a moment
- Notice the flavors, textures, warmth
These habits do not just support fat loss, it also ushers peace back into your eating rhythms.
This is what Glow Slow is all about: stepping out of the rushed, frantic pace the world invites us into, and stepping into the gentle, intentional rhythms that nourish your body and your spirit.
