Transcription

1 CARBOHYDRATES VS. FAT STORAGE We all know carbohydrates are used as fuel and stored as fat. But what happens when you do not supply the carbohydrates to your body, is the secret to weight loss!!! Let s turn your body into the furnace, use its own stored fat as energy and therefore reduce pounds and inches effortlessly. Stop counting and start eating choice food from our list of Green-Go Foods, Caution-Intermediate Foods and steer clear of the Stop-Not Permissable Foods. HOW TO TAKE THE GOLD PROGRAM *Gold snacks 3-4 times a day (any combination) *Gold shakes 2 times a day *Tabs & Tea 3 times a day *Total Control or Green & Beige 2 times a day *Evening Meal no carbs. Eat as much as you want from Go list 1 time a day *Yellow bedtime, 2 tabs. EXAMPLE: Shake for breakfast, a protein bar a few hours before noon, a shake and salad for lunch, a soup a few hours before dinner.

Now all you have to do is eat all day and melt away. The Thermojetics High-Protein, Low- Carb Program restricts the intake of carbohydrates that stimulate the production and release of insulin. When you shut off the insulin, you reverse the body from an efficient fat storer to an efficient fat burner. Simply avoid foods with a high-glycemic index; some of the best culprits of a high glycemic index are carrots, beets, and certain fruits. The only permissible carbohydrates sources from vegetables are from the list below. Virtually every other fruit or vegetable is too high on the glycemic index and needs to be avoided in order for the body to naturally suppress insulin and reverse your body from fat storage to fat burning. Eat food in the GO-green column and rarely eat food in the CAUTION-yellow, and stay away from the STOP-red category, you will lose weight without burning calories, eat as much of the Go foods to lose weight fast.

4 FOOD CATEGORIES (Cont ) Carbohydrate Sources GO CAUTION STOP Lettuce Asparagus Bread and all relatives Alfalfa Sprouts Avocado (Crackers, cookies, pie Bean Sprouts Green Beans Doughnuts, muffins, Bok Choy Onions pastry) Broccoli Snow Peas Cereals, hot or cold Cauliflower Peas Milk and Yogurt Cucumber Tomato Most Fruit Endive Zucchini Other products made Fresh Mushrooms Kumquats from white flour Garlic Squash (Pasta) Green Pepper Red Pepper Root vegetables Eggplant Carrots, beets (Radishes) Spinach Brussels Sprouts Snacks including Scallions Okra Pretzels, potato chips, Parsley Passion Fruit Popcorn, Tortillas Hot Chile Peppers Peaches White rice, potatoes Green Collard Plums Corn Dandelion Greens Watermelon Kale and Mustard Greens Cabbage (Sounds like a pretty good salad or a grocery list for stew!!) PROTEIN: THE SECRET!! Numerous studies have shown that weight reduction comes easier when a higher percentage of calories consumed come from protein. Protein helps build muscle tissue and a diet high in protein encourages growth hormones and the transport and absorption of amino acids across cell membranes. You feel more satisfied and full when you consume more protein rich foods. A high-protein diet turns on the natural furnace in our bodies when carbohydrates are restricted.

5 Protein Sources GO CAUTION STOP Cheeses low or nonfat Dark meat Chicken or Turkey High-fat Cheese Eggs (whites or substitute) High-fat Seafood (Squid, Salmon, Organ Meats Most fresh fish and seafood Sardines, Mackerel, Herring) Processed Meats Pork, lamb, and veal Low fat cuts Bacon, Sausage, Ham, Poultry, Chicken, Turkey Red meats, the choice cuts Bologna, Hotdogs, (Preferrably white meat) Tofu is healthy but contains Smoked Fish Red Meats some Carbohydrates (Particularly round & top Sirloin) Soy Milk and Soy Cheese *All protein is permissible including the STOP protein sources; however, it is healthier to consume lean meats, low-fat cheeses and non-processed food. *High salt foods such as processed meats, fish, smoked fish contain unnecessary levels of sodium that can contribute to water retention. The Skinny on Fat On this program, you may consume reasonable amounts of fat. Although fat is perceived as unhealthy, not all fats are bad. Omega-3 fatty acids protect the heart, found in Herbalifeline. This program encourages the consumption of monounsaturated fats, such as canola and olive oils. Trans-fatty acids must be eliminated, which are present in Margarine and pastries. Vegetable oils, corn and safflower should be minimized.

6 Fat Sources GO CAUTION STOP Omega-3 fatty acids Vegetable oils- corn hydrogenated fatty Olive and Canola Oils and safflower acids and partially Monounsaturated fats hydrogenated fatty Hemp Oil acids in Margarine Grape Seed Oil and processed foods. Primrose Oil Saturated fats from Flaxseed Oil tropical oils coconut Fish Oil Saturated fats dairy Avocado Oil A much more efficient way to fuel the body is to eat the same number of calories in 5-7 mini meals; this produces higher levels of satisfaction, more efficient absorption and utilization of nutrients. It can help eliminate the desire to consume big meals, prevent fat storage and keep you energized throughout the day. So eat up to five Thermojetics High-Protein, Low-Carb products a day and one meal, or up to four of the products and two meals plus the Thermojetics green & beige twice per day or take Total Control, as well as the multivitamin, cell activator, cell-u-loss, aminogen, and fiber tablet. For example: enjoy a shake for breakfast with a hard boiled egg or egg and cheese omelet, a peach mango drink mid morning, a shake and salad for lunch, a protein bar mid afternoon, and then indulge in a great tasting and filling dinner of a meat, salad, and vegetables mostly from the GO list. Awesome Ideas *Omelet loaded with real cheese and slices or mushrooms, green peppers, scallions and tomatoes. *Add turkey or chicken chunks, diced egg whites and cheese to your salad made of greens, radishes, mushrooms, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower and alfalfa sprouts. *Stir-fry chicken, beef, or turkey in olive oil with bean sprouts, mushrooms, scallions, and scrambled egg with a dash of garlic. *Snack on broccoli or cauliflower, try dipping it in olive oil. *Treat yourself to a fruit sparingly; remember only peaches or plums, strawberries or watermelon.

7 Awesome Ideas (Cont ) *Simmer in a crock-pot chicken, celery onions, scallions, with a dash of garlic and the Thermojetics Chicken Soup and enjoy a cup or two throughout the day. *If you re craving ice cream like me, freeze the shake to make it extra cold and frothy or stir it while freezing it until it s the consistency of ice cream. *The Mango Peach packet combined with the Vanilla Powder is heavenly (+ ice & water). Also great for the sweet tooth. *If you want a more substantial shake, add an extra Tbsp of Gold Powder and/or 2 oz. less water plus extra ice cubes and it will be thicker and more malty. If you need more variety in flavors of shakes, try using a little flavoring/extract. You buy them in the baking aisle at the grocery store. (coconut, lemon, peppermint) *If you add the Peach Mango to your Herbal Concentrate, you get a great drink and no taste of Concentrate! It s smoother for people who normally don t like the beverage. It tastes great just adding 2 Tbsp of Peach Mango to 8oz. of water with Herbal Concentrate. (If you want more flavor, add the full packet as well.) *Lots of variety is key to not getting bored. Since you can have lots of veggies, buy a variety and cut them up once a week in nice quantities that you keep in the fridge ready to go all week. Then you are ready to stew them, throw them in soup, stir-fry them or make a salad. If you re too lazy to prepare your own, go through the salad bar at the grocery store, skip the lettuce and just load up on all the cut veggies. *Low-fat and fat-free cheese is allowed so you can broil your meat & veggies with cheese or add it to eggs/omelets. *Jarlsberg makes a light Swiss cheese that still tastes like high fat cheese. Snack on this cheese with some turkey. *If you have to have bread, there is a very high protein/low carb bread you could cheat on once in a while. It s sold at Alfalfa s and Wild Oats type markets (Organic Grocers). It s called Ezekiel and it is found in the refrigerated section in an orange wrapper. *Remember on this program, 2 shakes is not required, you can eat more food if you wish. *Alcohol calories are big time carbs! Watch the margaritas, (anything with juice & sugar) wine, beer, liqueurs, and champagne. Bottom line, if you are going to drink, just do a shot! Get the alcohol, no mixer! *A little Marinade or Sauce can go a long way and make your main dishes so much more enjoyable! Add sparingly, but don t make your food too bland or you will get bored. *If you know you are going to have a carbo binge, do it once in the day and be done with it! Spreading out little cheats throughout the day doesn t allow your body to run out of carbs which is the whole point of this diet. *Notice: this is not an advertisement for cheating, but a way to avoid complete disaster!
