The
foods you will be allowed to eat on this program are
provided on TABLE 1a (next page). Your daily diet plan
will typically be comprised of three meals (Breakfast,
Lunch and Dinner) with three snacks to be eaten in regular
intervals throughout the day. In all, there will be six
feeding times per day. You should eat every 2 – 2
1/2 hours to coax a heightened metabolic rate. Additionally,
you will never eat later than 4 hours before bedtime.
This will enable the body to utilize all ingested calories
before shutting down for sleep!
Finally, what very well might become your favorite day of the diet
plan… your cheat day! On this day you are allowed to eat whatever
foods you wish! Having one day where “anything goes” may
provide a dramatic sense of relief to many dieters because you can
still eat the food you like. You only have one day per week to eat
some of these foods… so it becomes more of a special occasion!
This is also helpful in situations where there is a special event
or occasion where you just don’t want to diet. Just try to
schedule to use this FREE day at that time. Plus, you have the help
of THE BURN on these days so the negative impact of these calories
may be greatly reduced!
Now, on to the meal plan. The portions for each of the three meals
should be measured using the palm of the hand. Instead of counting
calories and calculating personal metabolic rate, we will use the
palm of the hand as a basic guide for the amount of food you should
eat. I told you it would be simple! The reason for this approach
is obvious in that there is hardly anyone that will actually count
calories on a regular basis and stick to it… so this will make
it easy for you! So, please pay attention to the side notes about
portion size. These notes will specifically identify either the whole
palm or half of the palm of the hand for macronutrient quantity.
Lets first start by showing you the foods that you are allowed to
eat on this diet. This will enable you to start putting together
a grocery list of foods that you can stock the fridge with!
