5 The Natural Body Diet: Introduction

Welcome to the Natural Body Diet. We are about to go on a


the natural body diet
journey that will involve the science of releasing excess body fat
to create an atmosphere in which a lean physique, peak
performance and optimum mental health work in unison to
deliver overall quality of life.

To begin this program you must have completed our Natural


Detox Program which sets the foundations for the nutritional
journey you are about to embark. All content within this program
is backed by science and has been tested on all shapes, sizes and
fitness types, to which we have obtained effective results every
time. We can attest that if you follow the steps laid out within this
program you too will obtain your optimum physique and peak
health levels. We recommend you run this diet in conjunction with
the Natural Body Program with either private training or small
group classes. This program is designed to trigger and elevate
natural hormones via functional training which will build lean
healthy physique as well as trigger and increase your metabolism,
via metabolic conditioning (explained later) which will contribute
to intense lowering body fat levels. All training programs can only
work to a certain level without the correct nutrition formula.
Therefore this program will provide the foundation for you to be
able to make advances in your physique, overall performance and
mental health.

The Natural Body Diet works because it is designed for our DNA
(biological information storage centre) that has only changed a
small percentage (around 0.02%) in 2.5 million years. Our
surroundings may have changed, however our bodies are still
designed to receive natural sources of food, sunlight, air and
water the way it was millions of years ago. Today, with more than
90,000 chemicals in our diet alone, you can understand why so
many find it hard to positively change/develop their physique and
why so many people are unhealthy. At the core of this program
you will be eliminating toxic materials such as chemicals added to
food and liquids, which will enable your body to thrive and
develop.

The intention of this program is to learn how to implement this


nutrition formula as a lifestyle, further past the 10 weeks of focus
(explained later).
2 Once you have completed a full revolution (10 weeks) you will
have the complete mental and physical understanding of how
your body reacts to certain foods/macronutrients and how to
'the natural body diet
positively manipulate your body composition and peak
performance.

So let’s begin...
6
Creating the Foundation: Sugar vs Fats
the natural body diet
Your body is so smart it can choose what fuel it will use to power
your active lifestyle. The choices are sugar (carbohydrates) or
healthy fats . There was a time only a few hundred years back
when we did not have processed carbohydrates in our diets such
as processed sugar, bread, cereal and pasta. This is important to
understand in order to realise that you do need these highly
processed and harmful carbohydrates to thrive.

Grain and processed sugar based foods contain an harmful


amount of sugar in them, in comparison to natural carbohydrates
such as fruits and vegetables. We have a hormone operating
inside our bodies called insulin (we explored this in the Natural
Detox). Insulin's two main roles are to transport nutrients around
the body, delivering them where necessary and the regulation
(washing away) of sugar from the blood so that we maintain
normal and safe sugar levels inside our body. We are most
interested in the latter as it plays a crucial role in how your body
uses certain macronutrients (fats, proteins, carbohydrates etc).

When we have an abnormally high amounts of sugar in the body,


such as when we consume processed/artificial sugar as well as
grain based foods we get what is called a sugar ‘spike’. With this
sugar spike comes a spike in insulin to regulate the sugar that has
been released in the blood. When insulin is spiked (high) it signals
your body to use sugar for fuel. This is not an optimum position
for your body to be in as the energy output that you get from
sugar is a quick burst and then you are left on a low and craving
more sugar.

Our muscles contain a high amount of naturally occurring body


sugar known as glycogen. Glycogen makes up around 60% of
your muscle mass. When you create this insulin spike from eating
processed sugars (grains, cereals, sugar) your body will use sugar
to fuel your training and daily activity. Once the food you
consumed has been burnt your body will look for more fuel in the
form of sugar. Your body will grab this sugar from your muscles.
This means you are essentially burning muscle for a period of
time after consuming processed sugar.
6 On the flip side when you consume animal meat, seafood, nuts &
seeds, vegetables and small amounts of fruit your body will be
releasing only a natural amount of sugar into your blood and
the natural body diet
therefore your insulin will be kept at normally low levels. When
your insulin is low your body is signalled to burn body fat. This fat
burning state is the optimum state to be in as it allows your body
to shed fat revealing a lean physique. This is because your body is
not grabbing stored sugar from within your muscles to fuel your
training or daily activities. By consuming foods we ate thousands
of years ago you are creating the foundation for a positive
physique change and peak performance.
7 Unlocking the Power of Macronutrients

The 3 macronutrients that we will examine closely are proteins,


the
carbohydrates and fats. This is completed in order to understand
how they can be utilised in our diet to effectively create lean
the natural
physique and also release excess amounts of body fat. We will also
take a look at the consumption of certain macronutrients in order to
enhance our training to gain greater physical output.

Proteins
natural body

The first macronutrient we will look at is protein. Proteins are


organic compounds that contain amino acids and are essential to all
living organisms. Proteins are essential for the components of the
body such as muscle, hair and skin. Without adequate intake of
protein muscle, hair and skin cannot be at their optimum. Therefore
as one of the main components of program is to build lean
physique, it could be stated that protein is one of if not the most
important macronutrient to ensure we consume adequate levels of.
However, there has been a lot of misinformation out there as to just
how much protein we should consume to build muscle. In our
findings, the correct amount is going to completely differ from
person to person and also in accordance with your fitness goals.
With this said a healthy consumption of protein at breakfast, lunch
and dinner will be suffice and allow for muscle growth and
development. Protein supplementation in the form of whey protein
bodydiet

isolate powder (heal protein) or plant based protein powders (earth


protein) can also be consumed to ensure we have essential protein
intake. As previously stated the consumption of protein in every
meal is anabolic and fat burning by nature as it signals the body to
burn fat instead of muscle. This will allow muscle to be built and
kept and excess body fat to be burned for fuel.

Carbohydrates
All carbohydrates are sugars. However there are natural sugars and
artificial/processed sugars. An easy way to tell if a carbohydrate is
diet

natural or not is does is come straight from the ground or not?


Natural sugars are also anabolic by nature as previously mentioned
your muscle store up to 40% sugar in them. When a natural sugar in
the form of fruit and vegetables is consumed there is a natural
sugar release in the blood and therefore a low insulin release. When
insulin is kept low it will distribute the sugar into muscles where it
will be stored for use during intense physical exercise.
Fats (Essential Fatty Acids)
8
Fats are grossly misunderstood by the general public. We have been
lead to believe that a high consumption of fat is what leads to being
the
overweight as well as health problems such as heart disease high
the natural
cholesterol etc. This is not the case however, your organs are made
of up around 70% fat, and if you control your fat intake and
significantly lower the amount of fat in your diet you will first notice
your skin and eyes become excessively dry. Fats are essential for us
to survive and thrive hence the name; essential fatty acids.

When it comes to performance fats are an exceptional fuel source.


natural body

Here is the breakdown of energy that you will get from eating 1 gram
of the following macronutrients:

Protein = 4 calories of energy


Carbohydrate = 4 calories of energy
Fat = 9 calories of energy
Therefore for every 1 gram of fat your consume you are getting 2

and 1⁄4 times the amount of energy output than you would get from
protein and sugar.
bodydiet

By increasing your intake of natural, healthy fats you will


automatically lower your insulin levels as fat blunts insulin. This will
result in three positive outcomes:

1. Your body will be signalled to burn fat for fuel instead of


muscle. This increase of natural fats in your diet will allow for
even greater amounts of body fat to be released revealing
your optimum physique.

2. Your athletic performance will be greatly increased as you


will not have an energy low as we all have more than enough
body fat stored to fuel our athletic activities. Even a male
diet

athlete that has 4% body fat has more than enough fat to
fuel a whole ironman event

3. Your body will geared to build lean muscle as you are not
continuously ripping glycogen from the muscles to fuel your
training. Your body will also preserve this hard earned muscle
when it is being fuelled by body fat.
9 Overview of Effective and Ineffective
Macronutrients

The following is a general overview of each macronutrient and
the most commonly consumed foods for each. The list will

preview effective macronutrient food types and its ineffective
counterpart. The foods listed as ineffective are proven to become
road blocks in reaching our goals of building lean muscle and
body fat loss. Therefore their removal from your shopping list will
ensure we reach our goals.

10 The Effectiveness of Proteins:

Animals that are grass-fed are eating as they were designed to in


the
nature resulting in better quality essential fatty acids as well as
superior protein. Animals that are fed grains can only survive for
the natural
around 6 months due to the lack of nutrient rich, natural foods in
their diet. Animals were never designed to eat grains and corn.
Animal organs follow the same path, if the animal is fed cheap,
low quality food then it’s organs will not carry a high nutrient
value. Poultry that is free ranging will always produce better
protein and fats due to their nutrient rich, natural diet.
natural body

When eggs are produced from free range chickens they are a
much better quality protein due to the chicken eating grass and
bugs. The protein content within them can double so you are also
getting more bang for your buck.

When it comes to fish you can get excellent wild caught fish, for
example salmon that is consuming it’s natural sea diet and
producing quality fatty acids and proteins. On the flip side
salmon can be farmed and fed artificial pellets that are cheap and
produce low quality protein and low levels of omega-3 fatty
acids. This is the case for all fish, so be diligent and ask your local
fish monger which fish is farmed and which is wild caught and if
available always go with wild caught.
bodydiet

Whey protein is derived from cows milk. It contains many


beneficial amino acids which will aid in building lean muscle.
There are protein powders out there that contain added
carbohydrates. This is not a good thing, the carbohydrates are
artificial sugars which will signal your body to burn sugar for fuel
as well as stop Human Growth Hormone release (explained later)
and the sugar itself can easily convert into body fat also.

Greek yogurt is high in good fats and is a source of protein which


makes a good breakfast choice added with nuts, seeds and a
little fruit. There are low-fat yogurts out there with added
diet

chemicals and sugars which can make this source of protein


ineffective in building muscle and burning fat.

Raw cheese like gouda and feta are naturally fermented dairy
and have great protein and fat contents while highly processed
cheese are devoid of beneficial nutrients to assist in our primary
goals.

The Effectiveness of Carbohydrates:


When it comes to carbohydrates there are two very different
types; natural carbohydrates and artificial carbohydrates.
diet

Vegetables are great for us as they contain a large doses of natural


nutrients and fiber to keep the body healthy and regular. However
there are many vegetables which we see as healthy that are
devoid of quality nutrients. A main offender is corn, which has
been genetically modified over time. Corn passes straight through
12 Carbohydrates Continued..

Small amounts of fruit are effective and a valuable source of


nutrients, however large amounts of fruit should be avoided for
the natural body diet
two reasons, the first being that too much fruit can trigger your
body to use sugar for fuel and leave the body craving sugar after
eating it. The second reason is the large amount of insulin
released from high fruit intake will convert into body fat if not
utilised by the body. In this diet it is recommended to keep fruit
intake to the mornings around breakfast and mid-morning time
and/or post workout when your body is craving sugar to due to
glycogen being depleted from the muscle from high intensity
training (more on this later).

Natural fruit juices without any added sugar are great for that
mid-morning pick me up and/ or post workout recharge. Avoid
the fake fruit juices that are filled with added artificial sugars
which will go against our primary aim.

Starches like sweet potato, quinoa and buckwheat are effective


at replacing muscle glycogen after intense training and to fuel
tough workouts. White rice is okay in small doses (fuel for
training), however in large doses the extra insulin they release
can convert into body fat. Brown rice is in the ineffective column
because it contains anti-nutrients called lectins. These anti-
nutrients which are also found in grains and legumes will inflame
and damage the stomach lining as well as block effective
nutrients from entering the blood stream. So in this case white
rice is effective, however in small amounts and when utilised
properly.

As mentioned grains, pastas and cereals contain unnatural


amounts of sugar in them which results in abnormal insulin
release which can convert into body fat and trigger sugar
(muscle) burning. They also contain these anti-nutrients in them
leaving the body feeling fatigued and internally damaged.

The Effectiveness of Fats:

Vegetable and seed oils such as canola, sunflower and grape-seed


are highly processed and produced in factories from genetically
modified organisms (GMO’s). They contain high levels of omega 6
fatty acids which can cause a variety of cardiovascular issues.

Coconut oil, ghee, tallow or lard are the only oils you should use for
cooking as they do not denature at high temperatures. They are
high in medium chain triglycerides which are absorbed easily
absorbed into the small intestine and less likely to be stored as fat.

For salad dressings we recommend macadamia oil or olive oil but


diet

these should not be used for cooking as they have a low smoke
point and denature easily. For whole foods wild caught fatty fish,
avocados and nuts/seeds will bring most benefit they contain
essential levels of the more desirable omega 3 fatty acids and have
a range of other nutritional benefits in comparison to processed
oils.

The Effectiveness of Micronutrients:
15
Micronutrients are a highly overlooked food group. Not only are they
essential for all metabolic functions most of the population have a
deficiency in at least one area. Each micronutrient holds its own set of
the natural body diet
benefits for a happy and healthy body.

Calcium is the main component of bones and teeth and is also required
for muscle contraction, nerve transmission and cellular metabolism.

Folate assists in DNA synthesis and cell division whilst being a major
component in amino acid metabolism which is essential for muscle
growth. It is also essential for the maturation of red blood cells (oxygen
delivery).

Iodine is main component of our thyroid hormones which are essential in


controlling metabolic rate and body temperature.involved

Iron is essential for a large number of bodily functions. It is the main


component is oxygen travel, supports immune function, involved in the
production of neurotransmitters (nerve messages) and the development
of the brain.

Magnesium is thought to assist enzymes in more than 300 chemical


reactions within our body. It supports cellular activity, participates in
muscle contraction, aids blood clotting and is a component of bones.

Selenium is essential for immune function and the synthesis of thyroid


hormones. It also assists enzymes in protecting cell membranes from
damage.

Vitamin A is required for vision, cell differentiation, reproductive function


and immune function. It also plays a major role in bone health.

Vitamins B6 and B12 assist is protein and carbohydrate metabolism


which is essential to get the full potential from these nutrients. They also
support blood cell synthesis and help protect the coating around nerve
fibres.

Vitamin C displays vast benefits ranging from enhancing iron


absorption, assisting is collagen synthesis, regenerating vitamin E as
well as assisting immune function. However is most vital role would be
its role as an antioxidant.

Vitamin D supports blood calcium levels as well as assisting in bone


health. Vitamin E is essential in protecting cell membranes from
oxidation. Vitamin K assists in blood clotting and aids in the formation of
bones.
Water: The Most Essential Nutrient
16
Salt water is a great conductor of electricity and since our human
bodies are nothing but energy vibrating you can begin to understand
how important water is not only for our overall performance but
the natural body diet
maintaining the electrical energy that runs though us.

Our bodies are geared for survival therefore if you don’t give your body
enough water it will hold onto water when you do drink. Therefore
sipping on water throughout the day will ensure your body does not
STORE water for survival and this means less bloating and a much
leaner physique.

Because in the modern world there are numerous toxins (up to 90,000)
in our food, our drinking water (fluoride and chlorine) and air (carbon
gasses, chemical sprays etc.) the most important use of water it to
assist in eliminating these toxins so that our bodies functional optimally
and ensure avoid sickness and ill health. There are other great natural
additions we can add to water to flush out more toxins laying dormant in
the body and these will be explained in later chapters.

Muscle cells are almost completely comprised of water, therefore in


order to obtain the physique and performance goals we are aiming for it
is important to be hydrated before your training session, and once
you’ve cooled down hydrating after your session. Proper hydration will
ensure that the right metabolic processes are taking place within your
body to enable quality muscle tissue maintained and stored fat lost.

In our time spent training clients and ourselves we have found that little
water is required during your actual training session unless you are
training outside in high temperatures and loosing a lot of water via
perspiration. In fact due to the high intensity nature of functional style
training you will often bloat when consuming water during the workout,
so we advise to be hydrated before you begin training and only sip on
water if required during your workout.

Water is able to metabolise fat that is stored within our bodies. It does
this by ensuring the kidneys function properly so that the liver does not
become overloaded. The liver is the organ that actually metabolises fat,
however if you are dehydrated the liver needs to take up the kidneys job
which will minimise fat burning.
Stomach Health
17
One of the most important factors for overall health and weight
loss is gut health. There are trillions of good and bad bacteria
that live in the stomach and having this balance of good and bad
the natural body diet
is essential for a good metabolism, digestion and dispersion of
nutrients from your food to your body. A unbalanced gut can
lead to everything from autoimmune disease to depression and
can also result in gas, bloating, fatigue, lethargy, weight issues,
constipation and generally feeling ‘blah’. To counteract these bad
bacteria we have developed 2 essential foods to fill your
stomach with millions of good bacteria for a happy and healthy
gut.

Home-made Bone Broth contains valuable minerals in a form


your body can easily absorb and use, including calcium,
magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur chondroitin,
glucosamine and a variety of trace minerals.

INGREDIENTS: METHOD:
4 litres of filtered water Place all ingredients in a large
1 kilo grass fed meat bones pot and bring to boil then
3 cloves garlic, crushed reduce heat and simmer for
2 tbs of apple cider vinegar 8-24 hours.
1 tsp himalayan salt Strain and serve.

Cultured Vegetables contain higher levels of good bacteria than


any probiotic supplement on the market, they really are the
ultimate superfood. They can be used for healing and optimising
gut flora and fauna as well as assisting in detoxifying heavy
metals and other toxins from the body.

METHOD:
Shred cabbage into ribbons.
INGREDIENTS: Place in large bowl and
1/2 head cabbage sprinkle with salt. Mix for

You have already been introduce to wholesome toxin free meals
via the Natural Detox Program. Its now time to break down this
science of high proteins and gradually guide your body to its
the natural body diet
optimum state of performance and healing.

The average diet is majorly flawed. Around 50% of all Australians


get 70% of their caloric intake (energy) from carbohydrates.
There seems to be only a small emphasis on protein intake. But
firstly what is protein?

Biologically speaking, proteins are highly complex molecules


formed of small subunits called amino acids. There are 20 known
amino acids that are subject to 3 different groupings. The first
group, called the essential amino acids, includes the ten amino
acids that your body cannot produce on its own; in other words
you need to get them from your diet. The second group, the
non-essential amino acids are all the amino acids your body can
make from either essential amino acids or from protein. Despite
their name non-essential amino acids are just as important at the
essential ones. The third group is the conditional amino acids.
These are only needed when your body is under extreme stress
(sick).

Protein indisputably plays an important part in almost every


physical process and unlike glucose, your body cannot
manufacture protein from other sources. If you do not eat
enough essential amino-acids your body will start breaking down
your muscles to gain protein. Therefore any healthy diet will
need adequate sources of protein preferably the type found in
animal products as we have discussed in the protein section.

Stating that a certain percent of a diet should be protein is


generally not applicable to real life. We as people don't go out
and buy 30g of protein, we buy a nice steak or half a dozen
eggs. Weighing or measuring is an option but often time
consuming and unnecessary. The vast majority of us can roughly
estimate of how much food we require, the same applies for
protein.

Generally speaking around 0.8 -1.2 g of protein per protein per


pound of lean body mass will put you in a healthy range of
around 15 - 20% protein. However, once again, weighing and
calculation of caloric intake can be tedious and time-consuming.
We recommend that to gain an adequate range of protein
consumption focus on using fats as your main source of calories

23 Phase 2: Increase fats
Your body is 1/5 of its way through the nutritional journey that will guide
it to exceptional health and performance. So far we have shown the
the natural body diet
benefits of a higher protein diet that is free from toxins. It is now time to
guide your body into a full blown metabolic shift in burning fat for
energy rather than sugar (discussed previously).

We have already explored what fats we should be eating and how fats
can assist us in our nutritional and physique goals. We now must
explore the amount of fat that our bodies need to thrive and fuel our
days. As well as other macronutrients effected by increasing fats.

For each gram of fat we obtain 9 calories which makes it a much more
calorie dense food meaning we need less of it. Fats should make up the
bulk of your macronutrient intake. An effective strategy is to consume
your required amount of carbohydrates and protein and the rest is fat. A
hot tip is to eat enough fat until you are not hungry any more. This
avoids the need for counting calories as our bodies are an great
regulator of hunger and fullness. Do you think our ancient ancestors
counted calories?

Raising fats must be done whilst simultaneously lowering


carbohydrates. As previously discussed if we do not create that shift
from using sugar as fuel to fats our body will continue to display
heightened insulin levels and store excess body fat. A high fat and high
carb diet will just result in excess fat storage. We want to aim for about
80g of carbohydrates per day. The bulk of this should come from
fibrous vegetables and starches such as sweet potato. Accelerated
weight loss can be seen at carbohydrates levels of 50g daily.

So lets recap our intentions for phase 2. We want to maintain increased


protein (phase 1) to moderate level, increase fats to a high level whilst
decreasing carbohydrates to a low level. Its that simple! High fats,
moderate protein and low carbohydrates. This model is very similar to
the highly publicised Paelo diet.

The following pages will depict 7 sample days of increased fat


programming. This will include 7 breakfast and 7 dinner recipes as well
as 7 snack recipes. This will be sufficient for for you to prepare meals

Phase 3: Carb Cycling
31
You are now almost halfway through your nutritional journey. By now
your body should have adapted a high fat, moderate protein and low
carb diet. This means that you have made the crucial shift from burning
the natural body diet
sugars as fuel to fats which will of resulted in fat loss, increased mental
performance, eating less and general well being. This is the basis of the
Natural Body Diet. We will now introduce to what we like to call
“nutritional hacks”. These are proven nutritional techniques that will
assist you on your journey. The first of which is CARB CYCLING.

For fat loss and overall performance, HEALTHY carbohydrates are a


necessity. The challenge is to take in just the right amount of carbs at
just the right times. It turns out that what carbs you eat and especially,
when you eat them can drastically affect your body’s response to them.
Through a process called carb cycling, you can manipulate carb
consumption to maximise fat loss while you minimise negative effects.

Carb cycling its more of a hormonal strategy rather than a nutritional


one and works by effecting 3 crucial hormones. The first been the much
talked about insulin. Insulin release varies based on type and amount of
carb consumed. Carb cycling manipulates insulin to minimise fat
storage and maximise muscle synthesis. Low-carb days help us stay
sensitive to insulin, and push fat burning. High-carb days maximise
muscle development and replenish carb storage to enhance exercise
intensity.

The second hormone effected is cortisol. Cortisol is a catabolic


hormone, meaning it breaks down molecules to be used as fuel. It can
be both beneficial and detrimental, as it doesn’t discriminate between
breaking down muscle and fat for fuel. Eating a meal containing
carbohydrates essentially shuts off cortisol production. By carb cycling,
excess cortisol production (muscle loss) is avoided. At just about the
time that cortisol production begins to become excessively catabolic
following low-carb days, a high-carb day is in place to reset this
hormone to avoid muscle loss.

The final hormone effected by carb cycling is leptin. Leptin is a


regulatory hormone for hunger and satiety. If following a low carb diet
for an extended period of time your bodies leptin levels will drop
drastically, resulting in continued hunger. A high carb day will flood
your body with leptin keeping you satisfied and leptin-sensitive.

There will be 2 types of days during this phase; Low Carb days and
High Carb Days. Low carbs days reflect what we have already been
following for the past 2 weeks; keeping carbohydrates to a minimum
and sourcing them from good quality vegetables. As discussed earlier
levels on these days should be around 80g.
Phase 3: Carb Cycling
32
High Carb days will involved a sharp rise in carbohydrate levels. It must
be stressed this is not a licence to binge on low quality processed
carbohydrates. Sources should include fibrous vegetables such as
the natural body diet
broccoli, pumpkin and sweet potato. A general limit for carbohydrates
on these days is around 150-200g.

To have success in carb cycling we must time our high carb days to
coincide with release of these 3 essential hormones. A simple table is
given below:

DAY CARBOHYDRATE LEVEL

1 LOW

2 LOW

3 HIGH

4 LOW

5 LOW

6 LOW

7 HIGH

Days 3 and 7 (Wednesday and Sunday) will be your high carbohydrate


days. All the rest of the days will be the high fat, moderate protein and
low carb programming you have already been introduced to. The
following pages will give 2 days of high carb programming. This is to be
combined with the previous 7 days of programming in Phase 2 for you
to mix and match to create a full 14 days of programming.

36 Phase 4: Intermittent Fasting (IF)
We are almost there! You should now have the knowledge, recipes and
programming to be living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, free of toxins
the natural body diet
and harmful foods. Your body should of experienced some major
changes such as loss of body fat, increased strength, mental clarity,
greater energy and overall general performance. You should feel
NATURAL! There is one final nutritional hack that should be utilised;
Intermittent Fasting (IF)
Intermittent fasting can be described as making a conscious decision
to skip certain meals. It basically means eating your calories during a
specific window of the day, and choosing not to eat food during the
rest. Basically this means that on certain days you will have periods
where you do not eat for 8 hours. IF has a number of scientifically
documented health benefits. The most important been increased insulin
sensitivity. This holds a range of health benefits including loss of excess
fat loss, reduced hunger and improved energy.
A second benefit of incorporating IF into your daily programming is that
is has proven to prepare cells to better perform in stressful systems.
This is due to the fact when you enter an IF phase you send your cells
into a minor stressful state which makes them more capable of fending
off certain types of disease and illness. This means less sickness and
greater productivity.
So lets recap what we will be achieving in this phase. We will be
utilising all food types and nutritional techniques we have leant on the
previous phases plus adding in 2 8-hour periods weekly where we do
not eat. This may seem complex or hard to follow but the following table
should put each day into perspective and show how easy and simple
this nutrition plan is.
How to achieved results from this program is very simple. All you have
to remember is on the 3 and 7th day of each week you are the have a
high carb day (around 150-200g carbs). The next day you do not eat
until 3pm. So this essentially means that after every high carb day
simply skip brekky and lunch the next day. Its that simple!. On every
other day you simply eat the tasty high fat, moderate protein and low
carb meals I'm sure you have fallen in love with. What we have done
here is create simplicity for an otherwise complex diet that is
sustainable as a lifestyle and easy to follow for our members.
The following pages will detail a 2 days of programming to further
enhance of how high carb days followed by a fasting period can
provide accelerated fat-loss, decreased hunger and increased
hormone sensitivity.

to live a clean and healthy lifestyle. Your body will have changed
the natural body diet
dramatically. You will have experienced extensive body fat loss,
increased energy, mental clarity and all around general performance.

So where to from now? We feel that this diet has provided members
with the knowledge, recipes and motivation to create there own
nutritional structure that works for them. However we realise that not all
members will have the knowledge, time or energy to handle there own
nutrition. So we offer peronsalized nutrition programs for members.

Our personalised nutrition programs are carefully prepared by our in-


house naturopath and nutritionist. We will begin with a consultation
where we find out what has worked for you in the past, the types of food
you like to eat and your nutritional goals. We then take this information
and create a fully customised 10-week program in which each meal is
personalised to your liking and goals. These easy to follow programs
include tasty recipes that we feel are sustainable in the long term and
should not be viewed as a diet.

Once again we congratulate you on the completion of your journey and


hope you are reeking the benefits that clean and simple living can have
on your lives.
