Diet: General Rules
Eat at least five separate times per day.
Eat whole, unprocessed foods.
Absolutely no white sugar, white flour, or fruit juice.
None means none, not ever.
Balance all of your meals:
Always begin with a protein
Next choose a complex carb and/or vegetable
Finally select a good fat
Be aware of portions!
Eat 20-40 grams of protein at every meal.
Include several sources daily of good fat—nuts, seeds, oils, egg yolks, natural peanut butter and seafood are preferable.
The starches you eat must be on the low or moderate glycemic tables included in this packet—you should not eat any high-glycemic carbs at all.
It is OK to use pre-bagged salad and frozen vegetables but the more greens and fibrous carbs the better.
Drink green tea at every opportunity.
Prepare your own food. There is a reason that athletes and dieters don’t eat out much. If you want the best from your body, you cannot afford to be at the mercy of others when it comes to your food intake.
