NUTRITION PLAN Low Carb Menu This day is designed to help your body burn off some of its stored energy and increase the rate at which your body uses its own energy stores from fat. Most people usually feel much lighter on this day. Try to still push yourself through your workout even if your energy levels are not the highest due to the reduced number ofcarbohydratesduring this day. What doesn’t challenge you doesn’t change you!

You may feel fuller on this day or even experience slight more bloating which is completely normal. Carbs often get a bad reputation and aren’t the enemy in a fitness regimen as we need them for our body’s to perform optimally and continue to repair our muscles from previous workouts combine with high protein. This is the perfect day to really push your performance during those tougher workouts or large body part groups such as legs or back!

Portion sizes are for cooked weight (except Oats are measured dry, and we still do cook them) Make sure when swapping out a macronutrient source you always replace it with another of its kind. For example Replace a Protein source with a protein source, fat for fat, carbs for carbs{fruit for fruit} and vegetables for vegetables. Even though I give anamount for veggies, green veggies with nosugar are unlimited. Yes, you can sub out a Protein shake for any meal as well.(No more than 2) Make sure when tracking your macros you round up and down to the nearest 5 which may not exactly match up with calorie tracker apps such as MyFitnessPal due to our rounding system. We try to keep things very simple! Be sure to refer to your healthy choices food list in your Success Manual for the approved healthy foods. You are allowed to swap out ANY of the food sources you like! By allowing that, you have much more control and freedom within your diet, you never have to eat anything that you don’t like!

Exercise PLAN Weeks 1 - 2 Workout It is important to focus on your form, timing your rest periods to maximize fat burning, and challenge yourself. Remember to always include a proper and brief warm up. The best way to gauge the weight you should be using is the last 2-3 reps on every set should require 85-100% of your max effort. On exercises where the reps decrease be sure to INCREASE your weight on each set. On sets describing going to failure try to push yourself to as many proper form reps as you can. Supersets are two exercises completed back to back before taking a rest and are highlighted in red. Make sure you TIME your REST and don’t waste time in the gym. Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated during your workout and push yourself!! Never leave the gym knowing you could have pushed a little harder!!

Always remember the MOST important muscle in your body is your HEART, so regular cardiovascular training will improve your heart function and conditioning. For those beginning a workout program it is best to do these workouts immediately following your resistance training workout to optimize the fat burning effect. Never do your assigned cardio workout before your resistance training workout! Remember to bring a water bottle to keep hydrated and do some light stretching before and after your cardio workout.
