If you have seen many of my videos (which I assume you have since you’re subscribed to my newsletter!) then you know that I believe that there is nothing more important than living a healthy, active lifestyle. As you know, I have already built a free training plan designed to help you follow my training principles and train harder than last time! While I do believe that having a great training plan to allow you to build muscle in the long term is important for increasing you NEAT (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis) to allow you to burn more calories just by carrying more muscle, having an excellent diet is the most important factor to allow you to lose body fat while building muscle (MAINGAIN!). In this free diet plan you will have access to some of my delicious, low calorie-dense recipes that I use in all of my coaching plans and personal diet to allow you to work towards your goals without ever feeling like you are on a “diet”. Following the guidelines and tips layed out in this plan will help you to stay on track to becoming a better butter burner and building a successful set of routines to keep yourself on track working towards your goals! HOW TO FOLLOW YOUR DIET PLAN 1. Follow your Meal Plan and try to do (or work up to doing) at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity cardio per week. Zone 2-3 cardio should be considered moderate. Don’t worry about your HR. go by how you feel. It should neither feel easy nor hard and you should still be able to carry a conversation. 2. I recommend you weigh yourself 5-7 times per week in the morning, and record your weight in a notebook or application. 3. Take note of the median [the middle number] weight each week to know if you are losing, maintaining, or gaining weight. The median is the “middle number” for your weights that week, where you would arrange your weights from lowest to highest and then use the number in the middle of that range. Take a look at the example below of what finding that number would look like: ● If you are losing weight at a rate of 0.25 - 1% of body weight loss per week and feel good, don’t change anything. ● If you are losing weight faster than 1% of body weight loss per week, then eat more. Consider yourself lucky. ○ ○ Losing weight faster than 1% body weight loss per week is too fast– for most people, we don’t want you to lose muscle. Keep in mind that the first week on a diet, you will likely lose a lot of water weight. If the trend continues beyond a few weeks, eat an optional snack everyday. 4. If you are not losing weight after 2-3 weeks following your Meal Plan, implement one or more of the following changes: a. Eat optional snacks less often or lower the calories of the snacks b. Decrease the portion size of one of the meals during the day (whichever meal you are the least hungry). c. Add 50 minutes of cardio to your weekly total. If still not losing weight continue to add more cardio in increments of 50 minutes 5. If you are still not losing weight and are very hungry, ensure that you are setting realistic goals and that you are being healthy. Tips for Sticking to your Diet! Now that you have an understanding of your diet plan, read the following to improve and maximize your adherence to the diet plan. It is inevitable that you will deviate from the plan. Life happens, and it’s better to plan for the what if’s rather than assume you will not face challenges along the way. Do not consistently eat at the low end of the target calorie range. ○ The range is there for a reason. What matters at the end of the day is average calorie intake. You do NOT need to eat the same amount of calories each day in order to achieve your weight goals. What matters is the average. Some days you will be hungrier than other days. You may find that if you eat at the top end of the range consistently that you are still losing weight. You may also find that on some days you just aren’t as hungry. On those days you can feel free to eat less. The range is there to provide you with flexibility in how much you eat on a day to day basis. ○ The Extra Snack option is included for a reason. If you’re starving, have the snack and don't feel guilty about it as it’s included in the plan for a reason. Weigh your food with a scale whenever possible. ○ Ideally, you weigh your food with a food scale after it is cooked. This ensures that you are minimizing the amount of water in the weight of the food. ○ It's more accurate to track calories by weighing in grams when possible. When going on Vacation OR away from home: ○ If you do wish to keep progressing on your diet while vacationing, one thing you can do is reduce the total number of meals you usually eat. If you normally eat 4-5 times per day, while on vacation you can reduce this to 3 times per day. This is a good strategy because it accounts for the fact that your meals will likely have higher calories than your normal meals due to them being from restaurants and whatnot. ○ When on vacation, you can still incorporate many Circle Diet principles into your daily eating. Continue to drink diet pop instead of regular pop. Choose lean sources of protein and fruits and vegetables as sides as opposed to fatty cuts of meat and high-calorie sides such as French fries and onion rings. Eat plenty of fiber and lean protein everyday. When drinking alcohol, choose light beer and low-calorie mixers such as diet Coke or juice instead of regular. Stay away from fruit juices and “traditional” breakfast foods such as muffins which are really just cakes. Egg whites or whole eggs are a much better choice than bagels and other forms of buttered bread ○ If there is some very high calorie-dense food you really want to eat, such as pie or ice cream, you can have them, just be mindful that they are calorie bombs which will likely result in you over-consuming on calories. Try to eat a small portion whenever you go for something that is very high in calorie density. When cooking meat, rinse/strain it after it’s cooked to remove as much fat as possible. Incorporate as many low calorie-dense food options as possible. ○ Low calorie-dense foods may be found in the recipe section of this book. They will leave you feeling fuller and more satiated on fewer calories than high calorie-dense foods. ○ Low calorie-dense foods are typically higher in fiber and protein compared to fats. Feel free to use low-calorie sweeteners and condiments in order to make lean protein dishes taste better. ○ Walden Farms syrup, FibrO, Stevia, low-calorie syrup, powdered peanut butter, low-calorie BBQ sauce or ketchup, mustard, etc. are good options for adding flavor to dishes that otherwise might be bland. ○ For example, you can top 0% fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with low-calorie syrup. You can also enjoy chicken breast with mustard or low-calorie BBQ sauce. For coffee, avoid “CRAPPUCCINOs” and instead focus on lower-calorie substitutions. ○ A good idea is to use low calorie almond milk and/or sugar free/calorie free sweetener/creamer. ○ I add Walden Farms coffee creamer flavored Mocha and Walden Farms chocolate syrup to my coffee. Try to use low calorie creamers and SWEETENER whenever possible. I’ll have my own coffee creamer available shortly as well! Feel free to enjoy as much diet soda and sugar-free Jell-O as you like. No limits on either of these. Keep “trigger foods” out of the house, and keep high volume, low calorie-dense foods like fruits, veggies and low fat popcorn in the house! ○ Looking at and smelling your favorite trigger foods all day will increase your stress when dieting. It will make it HARDER. Make dieting EASY for yourself by simply keeping them out of the house, or at the very least, keep them out-of-sight, so that it’s at least temporarily out-of-mind. ○ Remove the candies from the candy jar sitting on your office desk. Remove the jar of peanut butter from your pantry. Get rid of the Haagen-Dazs ice cream tub in the freezer. Keep all of that crap AWAY from arms’ length. ○ Don’t forget the saying, “out of sight, out of mind.” If you don’t see the food, you’re a lot less likely to crave it. So, if you do keep trigger foods in the house, at least try to keep them from your sight. Every time you see your trigger food, you will have to rely on willpower to not eat it. Try to incorporate a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity steady-state cardio per week. ○ Cardio is an extremely useful tool for weight loss. I always recommend 150 minutes minimum per week of moderate intensity cardio per week to support cardiovascular health and lifelong sustainable weight loss. ○ Ultimately, the best form of cardio to do is the one you enjoy doing the most, as it is not the type that is as important as the consistency in doing it. ○ If you’re new to cardio, I suggest starting with walking outdoors or on a treadmill. Walking is a familiar activity for your body, so it’s a good introduction when building your cardio habits. It is low-impact, which means you will have a very low chance of causing damage to your joints. This is different from jogging, which is high-impact and can jar your knees and hips. ○ Walking on a treadmill offers a greater chance for challenging yourself to go harder than last time. This is because you can change the incline and create a tougher cardio session. For example, on a treadmill, you can start off at a flat/0% incline and increase in increments all the way up to a 15% incline (or even to 30% or higher if you have a super fancy treadmill). Walking on a treadmill at a 15% incline WILL challenge you. In fact, walking on a 15% incline will burn double the calories as walking on a flat surface, due to the fact that you’re carrying your body weight uphill, which requires double the calorie expenditure compared to a flat incline (assuming you’re walking at the same speed). While walking outside is great too, when walking outside, you can’t find steep hills to climb 100% of your time walking. OFF-PLAN MEAL GUIDELINES YES. You can eat meals that are not on your plan everyday. However you must try to stay within your calorie ranges as at the end of the day it will always come down to calories in and calories out as to whether or not you will lose weight. With that being said, keep in mind that of course you must have enough protein, healthy fats, fiber and micronutrients in order to keep your body healthy. When eating off plan, it's important to try to stay within your given calories for that meal by doing your best to estimate the calories in the foods that you are eating. How to manage off plan meals: ● You can have an off plan meal (up to 750 calories) in exchange for any regular meal (you just skip a meal to have the "off meal plan”). It's meant to be a meal option that you are craving and may not be part of your diet plan in order to allow you to live a normal/balanced lifestyle without feeling deprived. ○ If you end up eating more like 900 calories, DO NOT HAVE YOUR OPTIONAL SNACKS FOR THAT DAY ○ If you eat closer to 1500 calories, then skip the 2 closest meals by combining 2 meals into 1. This means eating 2 meals that day rather than 3. YOU CAN STILL HAVE YOUR OPTIONAL SNACKS THAT DAY. ○ If you CHEAT REALLY BADLY like 1750+ calories, then skip the 2 closest meals by combining 2 meals into 1. This means eating 2 meals that day rather than 3. DO NOT HAVE OPTIONAL SNACKS THAT DAY.

IF YOU WANT MORE VARIETY AND MORE HIGH PROTEIN AMAZING RECIPES GET MY FREAKING COOKBOOK. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF MORE LIFE GET MY CIRCLE DIET BOOK Diet Considerations When it comes to gaining or losing weight it all comes down to calories in versus calories out! Calories are simply a measure of how much energy is in the foods and drinks we consume, and when you are taking in more calories than you burn this excess energy is stored as fat in your body. This means that if you want to lose weight then you need to burn more calories than you take in, which will trigger your body to burn fat for energy. This is because of the first law of thermodynamics which tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and there is no one who can break this law! The First Law of Thermodynamics Figure 1: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 25, The First Law of Thermodynamics Figure 2: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 27, Calories In versus Calories Out Following the first law of thermodynamics it really is as simple as Calories In versus Calories Out to determine if you will gain, lose or maintain your weight. If you are eating more calories than you burn you will Gain Weight, if you burn more calories than you eat you will Lose Weight, and finally if you are burning and eating the same amount of calories you will Maintain your Weight. But How fast should you be losing weight? One pound of fat is the equivalent of 3500 calories worth of stored energy, which means that in order to lose this you need to burn 3500 more calories than you consume. This deficit of 3500 calories can be made up over a week, a month or even a year, it doesn’t matter as you will still lose 1lb of fat regardless of how long it takes to achieve this deficit! With this 3500 calorie deficit needed to lose 1 pound of fat in mind, you can lose 1 pound of fat per week by creating a 500 calorie deficit each day through your diet and exercise routine. Figure 3: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 38, Creating a 3500 Calorie per week Deficit I encourage you to lose weight at a rate of 0.5-1% of your body weight per week as this will allow you to lose weight slowly and maximize your chances of not losing muscle and not rebounding. In order to determine how much weight loss this is for you, take your current weight and multiply it by 0.01 to find out what 1% weight loss would be (and then of course half of this number is 0.5%). Below is an easy graphic you can use to find a rough estimate of what this weight loss range looks like and how much of a calorie deficit is needed to create it. Figure 4: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 39, Weight Loss Ranges for Varying Body Weights Bringing it all Together to Reach your Goals In order for you to be the healthiest version of yourself there are 3 main areas to focus on; your diet, weight training routine and cardio! With this plan you have the guidelines and principles to use to have a great diet routine for life, which you can use in addition to my free training plan and a great cardio routine to become a Better Butter Burner and live a healthier lifestyle! To become a Better Butter Burner to help you lose weight you should be doing cardio! When it comes to cardio please keep the FITT principles in mind; ● Frequency: You can do cardio up to 7 days a week ● Intensity: Moderate pace, if doing HIIT cardio do so less often ● Time: 30-60 minutes a day totalling 150-300 minutes a week ● Type: The most important thing is doing the type that you enjoy, and feel free to switch things up 1. When Should You Do Your Cardio? Whenever You Want! Figure 1: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 134, Example Weekly Cardio Schedule As you can see IT DOESN’T MATTER WHEN YOU DO YOUR CARDIO! As long as you are doing at least 150 minutes a week (aim for closer to 300 if you want to focus on cardio) then continue to fit it in wherever makes the most sense for you. If you want to get more advanced than you can do your best to spread out your weight training and cardio sessions by at least 8 hours if doing them on the same day, and do whichever you want to focus on first within that day. Figure 2: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 135, Example Weekly Training and Cardio Schedule 2. What Kind of Cardio Should You Do? MISS! Moderate Intensity Steady State (or MISS for short) cardio refers to any form of cardio that you can do at a pace you could sustain for 1-3 hours if you wanted to. With a little effort you could even talk while you are doing it. Moderate is NOT EASY (It's not a slow walk done with Grandma Josephine). Figure 3: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 131, MISS Cardio 3. Long Term Progression… Becoming a Better Butter Burner! Exercising Harder Than Last Time is the key to becoming a Better Butter Burner (aka improving your ability to burn fat). Over time your body will adapt and what once felt hard eventually becomes easy. You might only be able to walk at 2 mph on a 5% incline for 30 minutes but over time with consistency you’ll be able to walk 2.5 miles an hour at 10% incline with the result being more calories and more at being burnt Figure 4: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 132, Cardio Progression As you can see in Figure 5 the more consistent you are with your cardio and training routine, the more calories and fat your body is able to burn. In progressing up the fitness levels you could potentially over double the calories you are burning in comparison to when you were inactive. This will allow you to not only be leaner but to also eat more calories than you did when you were less fit. Figure 5: Excerpt from the Circle Diet Book page 140, Becoming a Better Butter Burner Building muscle through weight training will also allow you to be a better butter burner from increased metabolic activity from the muscles that you build. As in Figure 5, the more muscle you have the more calories you are able to burn. Figure 6: Excerpt from The Circle Diet Book page 156, Quick Summary of Spoke #4: Maximize Muscle Becoming a Better Butter Burner through increased muscle and cardio should be the ultimate goal of this program. With more muscle and a faster metabolism you are able to burn more calories, eat more food, and maintain a leaner physique year round. In following this program you may not have the muscles or stamina of a competitive bodybuilder or comp marathon runner respectively, but you can get 80% of it while looking like a well trained performance athlete. And let's not forget living a longer and healthier life, which really is the most important goal of all.
