Introduction
I am so excited that you have chosen to take a new path using the Freestyle Instant Pot Cookbook: 100 + Delicious & Simple Freestyle Recipes For Healthy Weight Loss . The following chapters will discuss how to follow the plan and the ways it will most benefit your health as you drop those unwanted pounds.
You will discover the science of the Freestyle Point System since the calories set are the baseline of the value of what the food is worth. Each food added to the product will possibly raise the content of fat or sugar. Proteins are calculated into the equation to help lower the points.
The goal is to get you on the right track of choosing leaner proteins and eating more fruits and veggies with each meal. By increasing these food items, you are lowering the unhealthy fats and consuming less sugar. You will be amazed by how many of the foods contain -0- points. It's hard to believe theyre diet foods.
Zero Points Foods
The Freestyle way of eating is a new way to lose weight with its vast list of free foods. The list now includes many new items including eggs, beans, lean proteins, tofu, lentils, many of your preferred fruits and vegetables as well as nonfat plain yogurt. Its so easy since each food is given a point value. You use those points and set goals for your personal daily points allowance.
If you have been on other diets, you know it will be times when hunger strikes which can make it difficult to keep from cheating on your diet plan. Welcome the zero freestyle points foods that you can enjoy for free and remain within your daily target.
For the lean proteins, you can enjoy chicken breast, turkey, and (yes) eggs. Included are legumes and beans such as lentils, chickpeas, and black beans as well as tofu and nonfat plain yogurt. These are in addition to the vegetables and fruits that were valued as zero points in the prior programs.

Chapter 1: Benefits Of The Lifestyle
You will soon discover this is a lifestyle change and not merely a short-term diet fix. The Freestyle System benefits everyone no matter what age, gender, or dietary needs; that includes a segment dedicated to vegans and vegetarians.
These are some of the principles involved in this lifestyle change:
- Choose unrefined instead of refined foods. Enjoy whole grains, beans, and legumes. Choose from maple syrup, honey, and dehydrated sugar cane juice for your sweet needs.
- Eliminate or minimize the consumption of processed foods. Check the bag and labels.
- Eat four or five smaller meals during the day. Consider three main meals and two to three significant snacks.
- Beware of salt, sugar, and fat intake. Processed foods are a huge culprit here.
- Begin or continue with a good exercise program to assist your healthy -clean eating plan, especially since you are attempting to lose weight.
- Lower sugary drinks and drink more water. Save the carbs for foods.
There are breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tasty snacks awaiting your cooking skills. The step-by-step methods will show you the precise path to a successful meal.
Protein is a must for your dieting plan for these reasons:
- Protein is a Fat Burner: Science has proven your body cant use and burn your fat as quickly as energy sources produce - unless you have help from either carbs or protein. The balance of protein must be maintained to preserve your calorie-burning lean muscles.
- Protein Saves Your Calories: Protein slows down your digestion process making you feel more satisfied with the foods you consume. During the first segment of your diet plan, its imperative that you feel full, so theres no temptation to cheat with your menu selection.
- Muscle Repair and Growth: Protein should be increased on days you are more active. Its essential to understand the balance of carbs, proteins, and fats. The balance is the goal you are attempting to achieve, and its found in a focused plan such as the Freestyle diet.
Special Note: It is advisable to purchase foods that are sold as reduced-fat or low- sodium when possible. It may not always be listed that way in every recipe, but it is just one more way to keep your point system functional.
