Nutrition Basics Without getting into all the details regarding nutrition (this is the topic of it s own book), I have provided a simple to use diet plan that will get your started out right. If you cannot eat a certain food, or dislike the options provided simply switch out that item for something similar. The basics of the diet include eating whole foods. Fruits, vegetables, and meats are the backbone of this diet, with a supporting role from nuts, seeds and fats. This is the similar to the Paleo type diet, and it s a good place to start. Here is an infographic showing the hierarchy of most of the nutrients: Page 2

3 Watching Calories For this diet, rather than overload you with counting calories and spending too much time obsessing over foods I want to make this very simple. With this diet you will not count calories. You will simply make changes to the types of foods you eat, and the frequency in which you eat them. This alone is very valuable and will make a huge difference in your progress. As you master this, we can begin to figure out the rest of your dietary needs. Therefore, with this diet eat until you are satisfied. NOTES You do not need a large variety of foods to satisfy your nutritional needs. The average person consumes less than 100 variety of foods (from the thousands of foods available at the grocery store). We simply need to tweak the items you already buy to be 100 or so good things, rather than less beneficial items. So for this diet we are going to do a 7 Day meal plan, and then simply repeat those meals for the second week. One of the best things you can do for your diet is to make an actual plan that lists out all the meals you ll eat for the week (like they do in a hospital or school). This takes away all of your choices when you are hungry and let s you know what your meal is. Prepare most of your food in advance (I like Sunday mornings). This eliminates your need to prep things as you go, which can lead to straying from the diet. You will see that once per week we allow a cheat day. This is a starting point in your diet so you don t feel like you are depriving yourself of your favority foods. Make sure on these cheat days you don t undo all your progress in the week by eating 3 pizza s and drinking a 12 pack of beer. Have a cheat day, but don t over indulge. How important is diet in your progress? Experts typically agree that 70% of your health and fitness progress is tied to your diet. This cannot be overlooked! Page 3

10 Day 7 Day 7 is your cheat day, but really it s more like a cheat half-day. I would like you to have your normal morning breakfast (a higher protein, moderate fat, carbohydrates from veggies type meal). After this, consume what you want within reason. Remember, the more you go hog wild on cheat day it can undo some of the progress you made this week. Continue drinking your water during this day as indicated. 2-4 Egg Omlete with bacon, mushrooms, peppers and a dash of cheese. 1 Cup of sliced tomatoes.
