Any change in activity or nutrition requires supervision, monitoring and
precision analysis for a congruent result. These changes are coupled with
new behaviors and beliefs, which can take 2 -6 weeks to instill.
Plan before you start this program. Make sure you have access to the
foods required. Know when you are going to eat and what you are going
to eat. New behaviors are unfamiliar at first, but with practice can soon
become habits.
• Eat at least 4 meals a day with proportions of protein, fats and
carbohydrates staying at the recommended percentages. It will
not work if you consume a large portion of carbohydrate in one
meal and no protein.
• Minimise carbohydrates after 6pm. This includes all sweets, fruit,
breads, pastas, rice, potatoes and other starchy vegetables etc.
• Have a good serving of protein rich food and plenty of leafy green
vegetables at dinner.
• Do not skimp on consuming the recommended amount of quality
fats, as you will require energy. Yes some will be coming from
storage [body fat] but this is rate limited. You must make up the rest
from the food you eat.
• Get your carbohydrates from non-starchy vegetables and low carb
fruits. These foods are high in fibre and nutrients [vitamins and
minerals].
• Minimise sugary or sweet snacks (if you are really craving, then eat
1⁄2 an HPLC Bar.
• Eat some nuts/seeds each day to obtain some quality fats, fibre,
vitamins and minerals.
• Drink 2-3 litres of water per day.
• Get off your butt and move!
