Weight Loss Menu Plan
Macro-nutrient balance for a mild ketosis (fat-burning)
· Calories: 1000-1200 per day · Carbohydrates: 45-60 grams (some metabolisms need <40 gm CHO for first week to initiate fat burn) · Protein: 80 grams · Fat: 50 grams |
Overview
· Eat 6 times a day, spaced about 2 1/2 hours apart to maintain even blood sugar and even insulin levels · Avoid high gylcemic, high carbohydrate foods such as breads, pastas, sugar, refined grains · Avoid periods of prolonged fasting. This will trigger the body to go into a preservation/storage mode and interfere with fat burning. · Choose only small amounts of fruit to incorporate into a nutrient balanced snack · Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes and carrots |
