The Eating Plan
The nlenus in tile Bowflex eating plan are designed for
maximum fat loss effectiveness and nutritional vahle. For
best results, follow them exactly.
Every attempt has been made to utilize current popular
brand names and accurate calorie counts, which a_ listed
in the menus. But as you probably realize the products are
sometimes changed or discontinued. If a listed item is not
available in your a_a, you'll need to substitute a similar
product. Become an infiwmed label reader at your
supermarket. Ask questions about any products you don't
understand. Supermarket managers are usually helpflll. If
they don't have an answer to your question, they will get it
fk)r you.
Each day you will choose a limited selection of fk)c)ds for
breakfast and lunch. Most people carl consume the same
basic breakfitst and the same basic hlnch fk)r months with
little modification. Ample variety during your evening
meal, however, will make daily eating interesting and
er!joyable. Additionally, the eating plan includes a mid
afternoon and late night snack to kee l) your energy high
and your hunger low.
You'll always have a 300 calorie breakfast, a 300 calorie
hmch, and a 300 calorie dinner (women), or 500 calorie
dinner (men). With each two week descend, only your
snack calories will change: from 400 to 300 to 200 calories
per day (men), or 300 to 200 to 100 calories per day
(women). For each of your five daily meals, you'll have at
least three choices.
Everything has been simplified so even the most kitchen-
inept man or woman carl succeed. Very little cooking is
required. All you have to do is read the menus, select your
food choices, and fMlow the directions. It_ as simple as
that.
If you find that you wish to vary from the outline menu
items try to stay with in the
60:20:20
ratio of
carbohydrates, proteins, and f_lts.
