10 Day Nutrition Challenge - January 4th, 2012

Source: Beachbody’s Turbo Slim~10 Day Kick Start Meal Guide

Beachbody Workout programs are awesome because they all come with a nutritional guide, recopies, and MORE! Turbo Jam also came with a GREAT 10 day guide to kick start your weight loss! The plan will cleanse your body and change your daily habits which will enhance your results and have a lifelong effect on your overall wellness. It consist of 10 disciplined days of “clean” eating combined with a daily turbo jam work out. This short-term weight loss program will rev up your metabolism to burn big-time fat and calories!!!

I wanted to share it with all of you!

But before we get to what you need to eat each day here are a few other things to consider

What Can I drink?

  • WATER!!! 8 to 10 glasses (64oz) per day!
  • Coffee and Tea- you can drink these no calorie beverages, but keep the stuff you add to em to a minimum.
  • And, of course, all those Caramel-Vanilla-Mocha drinks from your local coffee bar are COMPLETELY OFF! ;)

What Can’t I drink?

  • Sports Drinks
  • energy drinks
  • alcohol
  • soft drinks (including diet)
  • juices

Ouch!!! I know this may be a toughie, but you’ve got to hold firm here! While some of these items aren’t bad for you, they all have calories (sometimes more calories than you need in a meal) and you should cut them out when striving for serious results. Calorie- and sugar- filled soft drinks, in particular, have no value in your diet, short term or long term. Get rid of them —this goes for DIET soft drinks too!

Foods you may not know…But Should!

As you’ll see in the plan, smoothies are great for snacks and meals. We recommend using Beachbody’s Meal Replacement Shake: Shakeology.  It has over 70 all natural ingredients! There are other products on the market you could use, however, with Beachbody products, you can be assured you’re getting superior quality, so it’s a smart move to go with them.

Can I stick with this plan longer than 10 days?

We don’t recommend it. If you feel great and have plenty of energy you may be able to stay on your diet as is. But a balanced diet contains more variety and more complex carbohydrates and fruits. These are energy foods and as your body becomes leaner and you burn more calories, you will need more of them. If you get into the habit of adding carbs to your diet when you need more energy then you are on the right turbo track to health and fitness.

Calories to add for individuals with lower body fat:

“this diet is created for women over 20% body fat or Men over 15% body fat, if you have LESS Body fat then this you will need to add calories to this meal plan here is how to figure out how much. If you don’t eat enough your body will start to store fat instead of burn it off, so it is important to eat enough Calories! So if you are lower body fat here is how many calories you should add…

If you are…

Under 140 lbs —add 100 cals per day

141-150 lbs —add 200 cals per day

151-160 lbs —add 300 cals per day

161-170 lbs —add 400 cals per day

171-180 lbs —add 500 cals per day

181-190 lbs —add 600 cals per day

191-200 lbs —add 700 cals per day

200 + lbs —add 700 cals plus another 100 cals for each 10 lbs over 200
