You will be following a reduced-calorie nutrition program, which is divided into three two-week segments. The program is a
proven method for achieving maximal fat loss over a six-week period. It consists of a carbohydrate-rich, descending-calorie
eating plan, and a superhydration routine.
Follow a Carbohydrate-Rich, Descending-Calorie Eating Plan:
Approximately 60 percent of the daily calories should be from carbohydrates. The other 40 percent will be
equally divided between proteins and fats. The 60:20:20 ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats is ideal for maximum fat loss.
Keep Menus Simple and Food Substitutions to a Minimum:
Research has established that successful dieters prefer the same foods each day for breakfast and lunch. They
like variety, however, for dinner. Detailed menus and food choices are included later in this manual.
If you must vary from the menu items, try to stay within the 60:20:20 ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Avoid Too Much Stress:
Too much stress of any kind can cause the body to actually preserve fat stores. You should relax more. An after-dinner walk at
a leisurely pace is helpful. Extra sleep is suggested, since sleep facilitates fat loss and muscle recovery. Furthermore, to keep
the body well rested, no other exercises or activities are allowed during the six-week program. This is a
scientifically proven program that works. More is not better. Any additional exercise other than the amount recommended can
and will harm your fat loss.
