THE RIPPED MEAL PLAN GUSTAFIT MEALPLAN INCREASING ENERGY BUILDING MUSCLES BURNING FAT Welcome to the Ripped Meal Plan! You’ll find this to be an easy nutrition plan to follow, and that is key to your success. With this meal plan you’ll be able to stick with this method of eating because it’s built for the long term. For a nutrition plan to be effective in the long term, it needs to be flexible, quick and adaptable! So let’s simplify things. There are two things you’ll want to focus on to understand our RIPPED Mealplan style of eating. One is our set of rules. The second thing is an easy to follow set of instructions for how to customize your meal plan. With the Ripped Meal Plan, you will not only find something that you will be able to do without first having to enroll in a culinary school, but also an 'easier than ever plan' to start implementing today! Plus, you’ll see that almost every step in this plan will require less than 15 minutes to prepare! I know that will sound like music in your ears but it is really the truth. Do you think that in order to get ripped and build lean muscle you have to eat like a fitnessmodel? Wait until you see my food recommendations, and you’re going to be shocked and excited at the same time! Not only will you have plenty of food alternatives to pick from, but you will be also allowed to eat plenty of food; more than you would ever expect! With the Ripped Meal Plan you’ve discovered the ultimate plan for creating the body that most people want, without having to give up the food you like. Ready to get started? Cool, then let's get down to business! YOUR RIPPED BODY Most of you will have heard of food pyramids. All what these pyramids do is misleading and confusing you. Getting ripped and muscular through proper eating doesn’t have to be that complicated. To illustrate this, we will enter the world of food pyramids with my own RIPPED Pyramid! Let me explain. THE RIPPED PYRAMID THE R STANDS FOR YOUR RIPPED FACTOR Do you have the necessary motivation to make a change in your body? Are you finally sick of not being able to get the muscles that you have always wanted? Are you determined to follow a step-by-step path to your new body… with everything clearly explained for you? Are you ready to change your body in the next weeks to come, more than you have in the last 3 years? If you’ve answered “YES” to these questions….... then you’ve got the ‘RIPPED’ Factor! EAT The purpose of this meal plan guide is to show you how to eat to attain fat loss and muscle growth. However, more than just that...it is intended to show you how to eat realistically! Let’s face it...most people don't want to start eating tofu and salads to get a six-pack! It’s just not worth it. Instead, in this program, you are actually encouraged to eat...and eat real food...and lots of it! TRAIN By choosing your GUSTAFIT PERSONAL TRAINING, you have by far chosen the best personal training in Groningen. RECOVER With the intense workouts that you will be doing over the next several weeks, it becomes crucial that you are not only eating well, but recovering also! Aim for 7 hours of sleep a night to give your body the best ability to recuperate and restore your energy levels. Keep your eye on the results to be attained and don’t undermine your efforts during the workouts by ignoring the equally important time spent in rest. You want to take the muscle recovery to another level? Then be sure your nutrition (and most specifically your pre-sleep nutrition) is to the point too! The saying “you are what you eat” is never more true than when you choose your food to fuel the muscle repair machinery. Make the wrong choices and you risk to undermine all the hard work you have done. FINALLY THE RIPPED BODY WILL BE YOURS! In order to get that “RIPPED” BODY you’ve always wanted just follow along with this body transformation program and you will be looking at a new person in the mirror in just a few weeks from now! No more need to get lost in all kinds of nutrition that does not work! Let the Ripped Pyramid to work for you now and be sure to check out our 9 RIPPED RULES for adapting your meal plan and getting the absolute most out of every day! THE 9 RIPPED RULES: 1. Eat 1.5 gram protein for each kilogram of your weight. 2. Stop consuming sugar, soda & fruit juices. Only drink water, coffee, tea. 3. Look at the bread you buy. Whole grain is good! 4. Only drink alcohol once a week. Not more than 3 glasses. 5.Try to add more unsaturated fats to your diet, such as walnuts, avocado, almonds and cashew nuts. This helps lowering your body fat. 6. Eat complex carbohydrates. Oatmeal, brown rice, whole grain products etc. No white bread/rice. 7. Don't eat too little. As soon as you eat too little, the food you eat is stored as fat (your body goes into the survival mode since you can live on fat longer). As a consequence you don't lose weight anymore. So continue to eat enough. Make sure you eat healthy. 8. Do not suddenly completely change your entire diet. This only works temporarily. So make a few small feasible changes first and automate your daily routine step by step. 9. Schedule a 'cheat' day once a week. One day a week in which you 'let loose' and snack more than you normally do. Make sure you don't snack during the rest of the week.
