Rule Number 1:
It is important to eat regularly. Many popular diets nowadays will have you eating 6 - 8
times a day. The many small meals a day hypotheses. This hypotheses is grounded in some
scientific studies that correlated frequent eating with increased metabolism. The studies are
shaky at best, and their have been subsequent studies to disprove the hypotheses.
Honestly? Who has time to eat 6 - 8 times a day? Unless you’re a professional bodybuilder -
you really only need to eat 4 times a day – 3 meals and a snack. This gives you plenty of time
to digest your meals in between feedings. It also allows you to eat a more substantial meal
at each feeding and not feeling like you are always hungry and always eating minuscule
portions.
Rule Number 2:
Lean protein is a cornerstone of the program - it is important that you get adequate protein
throughout the day. This will insure that you feel full, as well as contribute to fat loss by
raising your BMR (basal metabolic rate - in short - how many calories you are burning every
second). It is vital that you get protein during your first meal of the day. By eating a protein
and fat rich breakfast, you are setting your neurotransmitters up perfectly for the
subsequent day. By just implementing this simple trick, and eliminating the vegemite toast
and orange juice you will feel fuller throughout the day and won’t experience the mid
afternoon energy crash! Protein keeps you fuller for longer and is very important for optimal
health.
Rule Number 3:
You are to eat as many vegetables as you desire. Vegetables are thermogenic (meaning they
burn fat) as well as fibrous - which keeps you full for longer. It is important to get a varied
supply of nutrients and phytonutrients, and vegetables and fruits definitely fit the bill here!
Vegetables also have a negligible effect on blood sugar and on the whole do not have a lot
of calories - so you are safe to eat them in substantial quantities. Fruit is also really healthy.
