1 Lose weight the healthy way. WEIGHTMANAGEMENT Fat Trimmer Plan

2 fat trimmer fat plan HOW THE FAT TRIMMER PLAN WORKS. The Fat Trimmer Plan helps you cut calories by reducing fat to 20% of your total calories for weight loss. This approach offers the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons with herbs and spices and fresh foods. The plan is not a no-fat diet but it is low in fat. Your body will reap the benefits of taking in less fat and protein exchanges with an emphasis on complex carbohydrates. The Fat Trimmer Plan is designed to provide approximately: 65% complex carbs 15% protein 20% healthy fats Daily meal plans feature: Three meals and two snacks Controlled portions of lean proteins and healthy fats Complex carbohydrates from fruits Supplements to support your nutritional needs A short daily workout. The plan uses the Food Exchange System* that is a foundation of the American Dietetic Association. Real-life hint: I kept my journal on the kitchen counter so I could reference it at all times. When we traveled, the journal went with me! 2 The information presented in this publication is generally consistent with the nutritional foundation of the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetes Association. The information has not been reviewed nor is it endorsed by these associations. Consult a health care professional before undertaking any weight-loss program.

6 adjust your plan HOW TO ADJUST FOR YOUR PLAN. The daily meal plans in this journal show the 1,500-calorie plan. Julianne Downes, RD (Registered Dietitian and Certified Weight Management Trainer), worked with nutritional recommendations set by the Nutrilite Health Institute (NHI) to develop the Fat Trimmer Plan. To follow a 1,200- or 1,800-calorie plan, make the food exchange adjustments as shown here. The benefit of food exchanges is that they are flexible. We have provided ranges for specific food exchange groups to help with meal planning and making the right food choices. 1,200 calorie 3 fruit 1 dairy 7 carb 6 veg 1-3 protein 3-4 fat 1,500 calorie 4 fruit 2 dairy 9-10 carb 6-8 veg 2-4 protein 3-5 fat 1,800 calorie 4 fruit 2 dairy 12 carb 7-8 veg 2-4 protein 4 fat Before you get started, record your starting stats here.
