The way you should be feeding your body for this program is high protein, low carbohydrates & low fat. For your first few weeks you should be extra strict as possible on yourself. The key to sticking to your program is by preparing your food in advance, and this can be frozen to be used at a later date. Remember if you don’t exercise you are not burning off your carbs so you need to take in a lot less than a person who is exercising.
The first groups of foods you should avoid is
Breads
Bagels,
Rolls,
Sandwiches,
Wraps.
Sugars
Sweets,
Chocolate,
Fizzy drinks
Dairy
Cheese,
Yogurt,
Cream,
Milk*
*I could not survive without milk so instead use Slim line milk from the pink carton
Starchy Foods
Potatoes,
Chips,
Pasta,
Rice (in moderation is ok)
Other
Fatty meat,
Pork products,
Processed meats,
Sauces such as gravy and packet sauces.
Mayonnaise,
Oils, cook with olive oil.
There are plenty of good foods out there for you to eat, and again you should be aiming for low carb, low fat & high protein.
Remember always read the nutritional information on the packaging.
I asked for a roast chicken breast in the chipper last week, and the first thing he did was put it in the fryer.
Good Foods
Fish
Almost all fish is good for you such as Tuna, Salmon, Cod*, Hokey, Haddock all good
*Fresh Cod from the chipper is not acceptable.
I eat fish with sugar free beans (never the other kind)
Chicken
Breast, Leg, fillet all without the skin. The skin contains a huge amount of fat.
No wings.
Steak
Non fatty red meat is a great source of protein as well as being low in fat & carbs, but be carefull what you eat with it. You should choose a salad or veg to eat with your steak.
Eggs
If you like eggs, and omelettes your diet has got easier as they are a great food. You can spice up your omelette by adding a range of herbs and spices along with other food complements.
When making your omelette use 3-4 whites, and only 1 yoke.
Wheatabix
A great breakfast, and will set you up for the day. Remember Slim line milk.
Apples
Great to snack on during the day
Vegetables
Try to eat veg with your meals
Juice drinks
Only pure juce, no sugar. I have been drinking tons of orange juice.
Nuts
Great as a little treat, but don’t eat top much. Dry roasted, avoid anything cooked in oil.
No chocolate or yogart nuts.
Tea & Coffe
These are fine as long as you watch the fat content in the milk, and no sugar.
Water
Great for you
Sweetners
Always carry a packet of sweetners on you.
