COMPLETE GUIDE ON NUTRITION This will help you understand and use food better as well as build healthy habits that will help you create and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
N U T R I T I O N UNDERSTANDING FOOD During the next 12 weeks you will learn to choose the right foods, learn what foods work better for your body, and preparing healthy meals while still enjoying the food you eat. The importance of good nutrition and sound dietary habits cannot be underestimated. Improving your basic knowledge of nutrition is perhaps the most important part of your BMC. This will have a positive impact on your ability to stick to the food options and it will help you to select good food preparation methods.
N U T R I T I O N WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NUTRITION MACRONUTRIENTS Macronutrients are the main nutrients that make up the foods we eat. They provide us with energy and they each have specific functions in the body. CARBOHYDRATES Carbohydrates are broken down into individual glucose, fructose or galactose molecules through the digestion process. Glucose is your body’s preferred source of energy as it is rapidly utilised during exercise. Your body can store excess glucose in the form of glycogen to ensure there’s always energy reserves. If you do not consume enough carbohydrates, your body can get glucose from its glycogen stores or from your muscle tissue by breaking down the protein. Conversely, if you take excessive quantities of carbohydrates and your glycogen stores are full, your body stores the rest of this energy in the fat cells. FAT During digestion, fat is broken down to smaller fatty acids and then transported to the rest of the body to provide lipids to the cells. The main function of fat is to provide energy. In addition to that, fat also forms part of cell membranes and provide you with fat-soluble vitamins. Maintaining good brain, nervous and endocrine health all rely on fatty acids being made available through your diet.
N U T R I T I O N PROTEIN Protein is made up of small amino acids that are bound together. Protein plays a role wherever the body is growing, repairing or replacing tissues. It specifically supports lean muscle tissue growth by using amino acids to build tissue. Protein also plays a vital role in specific components of your immune system, hormones, nervous system, and organs. Your body can also break down protein to provide energy and glucose during times when it does not have enough energy. SO WHERE DO CALORIES & KILOJULES FIT IN? Just like distance can be measured in different units like centimetres or kilometres, energy can also be measured in different units. Calories and kilojoules thus really measure the same thing - energy. They can be used to measure the amount of energy within food or how much energy your body is expending in a day. 1 calorie = 4.2 kilojoules 1g CARBS PROTEIN 4 calories 4 calories or 17 kJ or 17 kJ FAT ALCOHOL 9 calories 7 calories or 37 kJ or 29 kJ
N U T R I T I O N HOW CAN I MANAGE MY ENERGY INTAKE? HOW DOES ENERGY WORK? Your body needs energy and nutrients to thrive. All foods hold a certain amount of energy depending on the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates it contains. Weight loss is all about managing your energy intake and expenditure. Ideally, your goal should be to balance your energy intake and expenditure to properly fuel your body and manage your weight at the same time. If you consume too much energy or expend too little energy your body can store the excess energy that it’s not using as fat. So if you want to lose weight, you need to consume less energy and expend more energy so that you can dig into the fat stores. CHOOSE THE RIGHT TYPES OF FOOD When you are trying to lose weight, food choices are everything. The more processed and refined a food option is, the less fibre and nutrientsit usually contains. Try to limit processed foods as far as possible. Choosing the right foods will help you consume the right amounts. For example: BOILED BROCCOLI CRISPS 31/2 Cups = 190 Calories 1 small packet = 190 Calories From this example it is easy to see how the right food choices can help. 3 ½ cups of broccoli is larger in volume and contains more fibre so it will fill you better compared to a small packet of crisps.
N U T R I T I O N PREPARE YOUR FOOD THE HEALTHY WAY The way you prepare food can unknowingly add a lot of calories to your meals. Rather steam and grill foods instead of shallow frying and deep frying them. Sauces, dressings and condiments add large amounts of calories to an otherwise healthy meal, they should be avoided as far as possible. Sticking to our recommended foods and menu options will keep you on track, without complicating the process. SO, WHAT SHOULD YOU EAT? The food you need to eat, depends on the meal plan that you are following, but there are a few basic principles that apply to all meal plans. We’re making it easy for you to select healthy choices from a variety of foods, making sure that you limit ‘empty’ calories while maximizing the nutrient density in your meal plans. Select your food with a focus on variety. For optimum nutrition, eat more lean proteins, fresh vegetables, salad greens and healthy fats to support your immune system and ensure good health. Vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, plus they provide high levels of fibre. Colour and crunch are important, vegetables that are deep green, orange or red contain the most vitamins, minerals and health promoting phytochemical levels. Proteins can come from both plant and animal sources, and it remains an important component of your eating plan. Choose a variety of protein options by making use of the exchange list of your eating plan. It is important to meet your protein requirements.
N U T R I T I O N When it comes to fat, quality is very important. Try to include mostly unsaturated fats in your diet such as extra virgin olive oil, MCT oil, fatty fish, nuts, seeds and avocado as these can benefit cardiovascular health. Animal fats might be beneficial to human health, particularly on a cellular and hormonal level, but they should be consumed at the correct amounts. Processed fats (hydrogenated oils and trans fats) should be avoided. Diet, low-calorie and zero sugar beverages are allowed to be consumed in moderation during your Body Makeover Challenge. Water is the most favourable beverage as it contains no calories, preservatives or additives, and it plays a core role in assisting hydration, metabolism, recovery and waste removal. You can add sliced fruits or freshly squeezed lemon juice to add flavour variety and zest! Avoid all fruit juices as these contain more calories. You may consume 2 to 3 cups of coffee/tea a day, and make use of Xylitol as substitute for sugar, which is widely available in retail stores.

12 WEEK CHALLENGE SEVEN-DAY EATING PLAN FOR WOMEN LOW CARB, HIGH FAT & MODERATE PROTEIN FAT LOSS EATING PLAN 12-WEEK WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM
I N T R O D U C T I O N KETOGENIC EATING PLAN The Keto eating plan is a very low-carb, high-fat plan with a moderate amount of protein. Around 75% of your total energy intake is from fat, 20% from protein and only 5% is from carbohydrates. The goal is to get your body into the metabolic state of Ketosis and maintain Ketosis. WHAT YOU CAN EAT WHAT TO AVOID Avocado, nuts, healthy oils Starchy vegetables (including MCT oil) (pumpkin, butternut, carrots etc.) Non-starchy vegetables Fruit Protein such as red meat, Starches like grains and tubers chicken, fish, eggs and cheese (potatoes, sweet potatoes etc.) Beans and legumes HOW DOES IT WORK & HOW DOES IT HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT? Your body normally prefers to use glucose as the main energy source. When you restrict your carbohydrate intake and increase your fat intake drastically, your body eventually shifts from using glucose for energy to using fat for energy. Your body becomes more efficient in using fat as energy. When your body then breaks down fat there is a by-product that forms called Ketones. Your body will produce more and more Ketones and put your body into a state of Ketosis. This happens over a few days. This eating plan helps you to lose weight by using fat as an energy source and maintaining a state of Ketosis. This diet can also help with satiety and can have a beneficial effect on your appetite. It is very important to be consistent with this meal plan and maintain Ketosis. You should always follow a low carbohydrate intake as carbohydrates can kick your body out of Ketosis. It will have a negative impact if your body needs to switch back and forth between using glucose and fat for energy. Remember to maintain good hydration levels by drinking enough fluids during the day.

We know what a big decision and commitment it is to take on the Body Makeover Challenge. This is why we will support you every step of the way. WHY DO WE INCREASE TRAINING INTENSITY EVERY 4 WEEKS? During the 3 different phases the training intensity will continually increase and become more demanding. This is important to ensure progression. We do not want to over-train at the start of the Challenge, and we do not want to under-train at the end of the Challenge when you are most capable. This is why we will use progression to gradually push your body further without causing burn-out.
12 WEEK CHALLENGE 3 PHASES OF YOUR 12-WEEK TRANSFORMATION TRAINING PLAN TRAINING TIPS TO LOOK AT DURING YOUR 12-WEEK CHALLENGE
PHASE 1 ADAPTATION: WEEK 1- 4 TRAINING TIPS FOR PHASE 1: Focus on doing the exercises correctly and efficiently. Exercises done incorrectly shows no results, and can lead to injuries. Focus on completing your training plan even if you have to do the exercises slower or use lighter weights. This will be an important mind shift to make early in the Challenge. Do not adapt or improvise on your training plan. The sooner you establish the habit, the better. It is normal to struggle with the exercises in the start. Ask for help – If you are uncertain of how an exercise should be performed, look it up on YouTube or ask a trainer at your gym to assist you. Hold yourself accountable – get a training partner or online community that share the same challenges and interests as you. Keep your heart rate up – The main goal of the training plan is to keep your heart rate elevated to burn more fat and get you fitter. Do not rest for too long or allow your heart rate to drop too low.

LIFE AFTER THE CHALLENGE FOR MEN & WOMEN MAINTAINING A HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE AFTER THE 12-WEEK CHALLENGE
T H E N E X T S T E P LIFE AFTER THE CHALLENGE Well done on completing the 12-week Body Makeover Challenge! It is important to continue this new, healthy and active lifestyle you adapted to in the past 12 weeks, without a specific plan or challenge going forward. You can do it! It is important for you to realise that you will have to constantly put in the work to keep all your progress and to improve what you have already accomplished. At this stage it is important to remember that your workouts and eating plan will not be as extreme as the regime that got you here. You have put in the hard work and now it is time to maintain. Here are some tips on how to keep the body you have worked so hard for: DIET & NUTRITION Maintaining a balanced and healthy diet is key to keeping your new body. It is important that you keep implementing everything you have learned during the Challenge. Stick to what you have learned from your eating plan and avoid overindulging in one sitting. TARGET PROBLEM AREAS You now have the opportunity to target the areas you would like to improve even further. Whether it be building size on your legs or chest or to just tone even further.
T H E N E X T S T E P TRY NEW EXERCISE STYLES Spice up your gym routine and try something new. You have been working with a certain style for 3 months. It’s time to see what else can get you motivated to work out. This will give your system a break from your normal training plan. TRACKING & PLANNING Keep track of your measurements and weight. This is an easy way to make sure that you do not gain unwanted weight without noticing it. Plan your exercise cycles and make sure to have a training strategy that lasts at least 4 weeks. LOWER YOUR FREQUENCY When training for maintenance it is important that you drop the frequency of your training. Train 3-5 times per week and include resistance training that is low in weight and high in reps, but also try to incorporate at least 2 exercises per muscle group that you train for 8 reps on a medium to heavy weight. This will ensure that hypertrophy continues in your muscles to fight muscle tissue loss. GET THE RIGHT SUPPLEMENTS Supplements will be as important during the maintenance phase as they were during the Challenge. Supplements will make it easier to maintain your weight and continue with a healthy lifestyle. We recommend using BLUELAB TM 100% WHEY, CLA PURE 1000 and ALL9TM AMINO to assist you during the maintenance phase. XTS HYPERDRIVE pre-workout can also boost motivation to train on days that you do not feel like exercising.
