3) All ingredients can be bought at your local store.

What is The Leaf System?

This system is based on using real foods, not


expensive, strange, ingredients that can only
be purchased online. That means you can
also cook these meals for your whole family
and still lose weight.

The Leaf system is the only diet in the world that specifically
focuses on skyrocketing your energy and improving your
health naturally by providing the body all of the nutrients it
needs for optimal health while you lose weight in a very
systematic and extremely simple way.
"I am loving the leaf system! The thickies are all delicious,
and so are the other recipes. I've lost six pounds in a week
and a half. My skin is glowing, and my energy levels are
very high. Usually, this time of year, I have to drink several
cups of coee and take naps in the stockroom, but I have
energy for days. Rachel Bachman

5 Facts about The Leaf System...

1) You dont have to count calories


All the hard work has been done for you so you dont have
to. All meals are already calorie counted to ensure you
meet your weight loss goals.

2) All meals are balanced


This is not a low carb, high carb, low protein, high protein,
low fat, high fat diet or other faddy diet. This is a properly
balanced healthy paleo meal plan for life. It contains meals
you would happily feed your entire family.

4) This is the only diet out there to focus on an


abundance of leafy greens.
The best thing is you cant taste them and
dont have to chew them. Eat your greens
within a smoothie that tastes like dessert! (I
promise you are going to love these recipes!)

5) Recipes are selected to save you time in


the kitchen.
At least 2 of your meals each day will take
just minutes to prepare. Batch cooking is
encouraged to save you time and money.
This is a diet that is not going to cost you a
small fortune in ingredients that you never
use again. At least 2 of your meals are
portable so they go where you go. You wont
be a slave to your kitchen on this diet.

The Leaf System is a diet for life


The Leaf System is based on the principle of turning over a
new leaf which means you eat foods that are good for you.
They are good for you today, and tomorrow you will reap
the rewards of this healthy food. This is a diet that is going
to add energy to your life, rather than robbing you of your
health.

If you're ready to turn over a new leaf by eating balanced,


delicious, healthy, quick meals saving you time in the
kitchen, no calorie counting, giving you the best health of
your life by eating the most nutritious food on the planet,
you are ready for The Leaf System.

How to follow this meal plan

Meal and ingredient swaps

You can choose to have a Green Thickie for breakfast at


least 5 days per week. For lunch you have a choice of a
Green Thickie (great for those in a rush) or a salad (if you
have more time to prepare food and eat it). Eat one of the
dinners for dinner.

You dont have to make a dierent recipe every day. You


can make the same breakfast, lunch or dinner as often as
you want. This will save you time and help you to stick to
the plan. When you get bored, try a dierent recipe.

Plan your full week in advance. Be realistic about the time


you have, write your shopping list and if you need to,
allocate one day to make a batch of dinners.

You can chop and freeze your Green Thickie ingredients in


individual portions so they are ready to throw in your
blender in the morning. I prefer to make my Green
Thickies the previous evening for the next day.

If you are too busy to prepare your lunches, make a double


batch of Green Thickies and have one for lunch too. I have
been eating this way for years and it really helps me to
stick to a healthy diet as I lead a very busy life.

Feel free to swap the recipes in the plan for dierent


recipes in the plan. You can also switch the recipes in this
monthly plan for previous monthly recipes. If this is your
first month following The Leaf System you will have more
recipes to choose from next month.

You can switch any of the meal around. You can even eat
the same dinner all week or the same breakfast or lunch all
week if it makes it easier for you.

Other ways to save time following this plan is to cook a


batch of each dinner recipe, eat one portion and freeze the
other portions for later on in the month.

You can switch similar ingredients within recipes. For


example you can switch the type of oil, substitute another
type of meat for a dierent type (as long as its in a natural
state and the same weight).

You can switch any vegetables for one another. (not


including potatoes).

You can leave out ingredients you dont like and substitute
any of the seasonings for dierent ones.

Snacks

Coping with hunger pangs and cravings

There are no snacks on this meal plan during the week.


This is because busy people often dont have time to snack.
But I do know that some people like to or need to snack so
dont worry this plan is still suitable for you.

If you know you wont make it from one meal to another


without a snack, split your meal in half and have 6 meals
per day instead of 3. This is a very good way to keep your
blood sugar levels stable.

If you are new to healthy eating and you are struggling


with cravings or hunger pangs, then please eat something.

This is not a starvation diet. It is all about helping you to


lose weight in a healthy way and learning correct portion
sizes.

It is far better to choose something healthy to eat when you


are hungry and your body is telling you to eat, rather than
trying to use willpower alone and bingeing on junk food
later in the day. Choose foods that are similar to the
ingredients listed on the diet plan if you need to eat to
avoid hunger pangs.

Your body will need time to adjust to this type of diet so


please dont beat yourself up if this happens. It is quite
likely to happen when you first start, so be prepared for this
with extra portions of your meals or healthy snacks that are
based on ingredients in this diet plan such as fruit,
vegetables and nuts and seeds.

You may not lose weight if you dont stick to this diet exactly
during the first couple of weeks, but you are doing your
body the world of good. You will get used to eating like this
and your cravings will melt away. So stick with it. Once
your body gets used to eating like this it will become easy.
Whatever you do, please dont give up.

At the weekend you are allowed to have 1 snack per day


which is 250 calories or less. This can be anything you
want it to be (small bar of chocolate, glass of wine, packet
of crisps/chips).
If you are detoxing, want to stick strictly to the paleo diet or
trying to avoid certain foods, I suggest adding in snacks
that fit with your special diet, or simply having bigger
meals on Saturday and Sunday if you dont want to snack.

The only other time that snacks are appropriate is if you


are a man, are taller than average, or are very active
during the day or do regular intense workouts. I would
suggest adding 250 calories to your diet every day based
on foods you enjoy from this plan.
