Introduction A Paradigm Shift
First of all, Id like to say thank you for purchasing this e-book! Youve just taken the first step in turning the body of your dreams into a reality.
You are reading this book because an element of your current diet is insufficient it could be due to minimal or no results, or because you are not enthusiastic about the limited range of foods your current diet allows you to eat. Food is essentially fuel for the body, and I will show you how to fuel your body with the foods of your choice. Low carbohydrate diets often leave you feeling sluggish and result in poor performance in sports and day to day activities this book does not preach low carbohydrates or crash diets.
After years of reading and applying knowledge of dieting from various sources and seeing amazing results using a flexible dieting approach, I thought there should be a simple easy to follow guide documenting the new craze that is flexible dieting. Unfortunately, the only books available seem to contain questionable information and lots of filler material; needless to say, I began work on creating a book that contains the truth.
All of the information contained within this guide is tried and tested so all you have to do is follow the information I am about to present to you. There is no guess work involved - all you have to do is take action!
How many times have you been told that certain foods, such as ice cream, chocolate or anything particularly high in carbohydrates, will make you fat? Or that steamed vegetables and boiled chicken is the diet you must endure in order to achieve the body of your dreams? That has been the train of thought for the last few decades, but no more. Flexible dieting (also known as IIFYM if it fits your macros) is the way to live a balanced lifestyle while still creating and maintaining the physique of your dreams.
I will teach you why starving yourself and crash diets actually hinder your weight loss progress, and how to go about fixing this as well as the most effective ways to measure your progress (instead of stepping on the scale).
The clean eating myth has been debunked.
The human body is a regulated system, it does not want to lose fat or gain muscle. Just like the cruise control in your car or heating/cooling system in your house, the human body regulates a variety of elements (such as your body temperature and metabolism) to maintain its current state. After reading this book, you will be equipped with the knowledge to outsmart the body and efficiently achieve the physique of your dreams!
I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
What is Clean Eating?
Clean eating (also known as the bro diet) until recently has been believed as the only way to lose fat and build a fitness model or bikini style physique.
For a food to be known as clean, it must contain no preservatives, refined sugars, trans fats or have undergone any processing essentially if it didnt exist 100 years ago or cannot be found around the perimeter of your local grocery store (fresh produce, meat, seafood and dairy), it does not fit into the category of clean food. Diets that are comprised of these clean foods are simply plain and dull, lacking flavour and variety due to the fact that so few foods meet this criterion.
A typical clean eating diet will contain:
Protein sources such as
- Boiled Chicken
- Kangaroo Steaks
- Lean Steak
- Turkey
- Grilled Fish
- Egg Whites
Carbohydrate sources such as
- Wholemeal Bread
- Brown Rice
- Oatmeal
- Sweet Potato
- Steamed Vegetables
- Fresh Fruit
Fat sources such as
- Almonds
- Organic Peanut Butter
- Tuna
- Olive Oil
- Eggs (whole)
A clean eating diet comprised of the foods listed above is realistically very hard to sustain; a newcomer will be enthusiastic for several days, a week or perhaps even a month - but over time the strict discipline required to adhere to this form of diet will more often than not turn them off dieting and lead them to consider weight loss to be near impossible. This is where flexible dieting comes to the rescue!
What is Flexible Dieting (IIFYM)?
Flexible dieting is more of a lifestyle then an actual diet. Flexible dieting eliminates clean and dirty foods and instead focuses on the bigger picture your daily caloric needs (which I will show you how to calculate later in this book). Flexible dieting thrives on the principle that a calorie is a calorie and which source it comes from will have no effect on body composition. You can gain fat eating clean foods if you exceed the daily amount of calories your body requires, just like you can lose fat eating dirty foods as long as the total calories consumed are below that of your maintenance level.
