    The cut diet outlined in Game Over - The FinalShowtime Cut Diet Youll Ever Need is geared towardcompetitive bodybuilders preparing to get on-stage or acompetition. For the average tness enthusiast, this diet maynot be practical to ollow. Thereore, Scivation has outlinedThe Liestyle Diet or those not looking to get on stage but stillwanting to lose at and maintain a lean physique.

    The Big Letdown

    It seems like everyday a new diet ad pops up. The thingall o these diets have in common is one word, FAD, acatchy little strategy guaranteed to melt that at o o your

    body. There are so many new diet ads that we have lost count.Yet while the diets dont stay around long, people do get resultsollowing them. People do lose weight. Then why do they ail?Most diets will work at least short term, but who wants to livetheir lie depriving themselves o the oods they love? And iyou dont mind deprivation, which diet is right or you? Whatis the nal answer or healthy at loss that you can stick with?

    In 1998, Americans consumed $1,104,000,000 worth obagels. This is just one carb ood and i a diet is asking peopleto give up a ood they obviously love very dearly, will they

    stick to it? No way! This is why the low-carb ood market hastaken a serious dive. At the other end o the dieting spectrum, alow-at diet causes a persons blood sugar levels to fuctuate,having an impact on their mood and appetite, making themcranky and hungry all the time. Who wants to live like that? Whowants to ollow an extreme diet that deprives you o an entire

    macronutrient like carbs or at? A more practical diet would beone that allows you to eat a balanced diet o proteins, carbs andats, while still losing at, being healthy, and enjoying lie.

    Diet is mainly about calories in and calories out. The

    main roadblock in dieting success is nding a diet you can stickto that will work long term. I you hate ollowing a specic diet,then you will not ollow it long term, and then you are backat square one. Below, we will lay out the diet principles thathave been successul or many o our clients and us personallyat not only improving appearance and sel esteem, but alsodramatically improving health. I getting lean and stillenjoying lie are two things you are interested in, read on, thisbook might change your lie. This is no dieting ad, this is aLIFESTYLE!

    The Liestyle Cut Diet works because it is built to tyour schedule and needs. You are allowed to eat various oodswithout having to count every calorie. Dieting is very stressulas is without trying to calculate every single calorie you eat.Instead The Liestyle Cut Diet counts servings o oods,which makes meal planning much easier. We recommend thatyou measure your ood the rst two weeks to teach yourselwhat a serving really is. Soon you may not need to measure

    everything because you will know how much o a certain ooda serving is.

    The key to The Liestyle Diet is it MUST work with yourschedule. We ask you to give us 85% eort to ollow the simple,

    2ChapterWhy The Liestyle Cut Diet Works

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    9/107

    delicious meal plans and you take 15% or yoursel. Meaningthat when Friday night comes around and you want to go outand have dinner with your riends/amily, YOU GO DO ITand not stress or worry about the meal plans. All we ask is thatthe next day, take the dog or just yoursel or a 15-20 minutewalk and get right back on track. We never want the meal plansto interere with your daily liestyle.

    Another example; say Sunday morning you wantpancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns. By all means, have it.

    Just do not think you have to starve and not eat the rest o the

    day to make up or the larger breakast. This is the last thingyou want to do. Your job is to get right back on track and getthat second meal in as planned.

    Starving is not the answer. When you starve yoursel ororget to eat, your body senses this and slows down your

    metabolic rate because it thinks it does not have the calories itneeds to survive. The bodys goal is to survive. So when it sensesstarvation mode, it simply slows everything down to preserveenergy stores, such as at tissue. This means that at burning isslowed down to preserve energy. The goal o The Liestyle Cut

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    10/107

    Diet is to keep the body cranking and burning calories. Everytime you eat, your body has no choice but to burn calories todigest the oods. That is why we promote eating small mealsmore requently. It promotes the constant burning o at.

    By eating small, requent meals, you create a small insulin

    spike. By eating inrequent, higher calorie meals, you cause alarger insulin spike that can result in a blood glucose crash thathalts at loss. We want to keep insulin levels steady throughoutthe day. By eating smaller, more requent meals, insulin levelsremain stable and you keep your metabolism revving because

    your body is like a urnacei you dont keep coal in it, itllstop burning.

    We also always include at with our meals. Whenyou eat at with any meal, especially one containingcarbohydrates, it reduces gastric emptying and allows your

    body release insulin at a much slower and steady rate thaneating carbohydrates alone. Lets look at these Keys to DietingSuccess more closely.

    Calorie Control

    Even though you will probably eatmore on this diet than any diet you have ever used

    beore, the biggest actor in a diet is calories inversus calories out with macronutrient manipulation.

    Do not skip meals. Skipping meals can drasticallyreduce your blood sugar levels and make you crave sweetslater on.

    YOU MUST EAT TO LOSE WEIGHT.Starving yoursel may get you to lose a ew quick pounds, butthe repercussion o not eating and providing the body withessential nutrients will lead to an unhealthy liestyle. When you

    3ChapterThe Keys To Burning Fat All Day Long

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    12/107

    do not eat, the body senses that there is no nutrition and its jobnow becomes to Survive. It will slow down your metabolicrate and begin to eat away lean muscle tissue. This makes itextremely dicult to lose body at once you begin to eat again.

    Be aware o portion sizes o your ood selections.One serving o spaghetti is cup AFTER COOKED. Mostrestaurants provide 4-5 servings per plate. The key is eatinguntil you are CONTENT, not until you are FULL.

    Insulin Control

    Insulin is reerred to as the storage hormone becauseits job is to activate transportation o nutrients (i.e. carbs andat) into cells and to turn o the burning o nutrients. Whenyou eat carbs, blood glucose levels rise, which the body doesnot like. In order to bring blood glucose levels back into

    normal range, the pancreas secretes insulin, which signals cellsto increase the uptake o glucose rom the blood into them.During this time, at burning is blunted. Thereore we wantto control insulin levels to keep at burning elevated. Keys todoing this are:

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    13/107

    Eat ve to six small meals per day: Large meals cancreate enormous an insulin spike, which can cause yourbody to store at. Small meals create a much smaller, morecontrolled insulin release thus less at storage and more at loss.

    Never skip a meal: We dont care i meal one was at

    the local buet and you ate until you had to unbutton yourpants. Do not skip your second meal! Keep the motor revving.

    Eat good at with every meal, especiallycarbohydrate meals.

    Do not combine carbohydrates and protein alone,this elicits the highest insulin response. For example, a cup ooatmeal has a moderate insulin response but when youcombine oatmeal with whey protein, you get a much higherresponse. I you do combine these, be sure to add a at source.

    Acidity Control

    We are talking about controlling the acidity o your meals.

    Why is this important and how can it be accomplished?

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    14/107

    Your bodys pH level is slightly alkaline, with anormal range o 7.36 to 7.44. To maintain optimal health and

    results, you should attempt to keep your body in an alkaline

    state through diet. An imbalanced diet high in acidic oods

    can make your body acidic. This can deplete the body o

    alkaline minerals such as sodium, potassium,magnesium, and calcium, making you more prone to chronic and

    degenerative diseases and potentially disrupting nutrient

    absorption.

    Add at to your meals! For example, when you

    eat a meal like oatmeal and egg whites, you are eating a

    very acidic meal. But when you put raisins and almonds in

    your oatmeal and have some steamed vegetables with it,

    you are lowering the acidity o that meal dramatically. All

    o the Liestyle Cut Diet meals keep this actor in mind.

    When you cannot add at or vegetables to your meals,add two to ve grams o L-Glutamine. This will lower the

    acidity o your meal to keep you in a more alkaline state.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    16/107

    Hydration Control

    You should drink plenty o water everyday. Try to drinkeight glasses (or 64 oz.) o water per day. The benets o drink-ing provide optimal hydration as well as a eeling o ullnesswithout added calories.

    Quality Control

    Choose resh, wholesome oods over pre-packaged,

    processed oods. Packaged oods are loaded with preserva-tives, especially sodium and saturated ats, and oten have highamounts o sugars, such as high ructose corn syrup. You willbe amazed at how ast you can lose at just by packing mealsrom home rather than purchasing ast ood or packaged oods.You also will save a lot o money!

    Eat one to two ruit servings and three to ve vegetableserving everyday. Fruits and vegetables are packed with ber,antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. One serving o vegetables

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    17/107

    is one-hal o a cup unless leay. One serving o leay vegeta-bles is one cup. Fruits and vegetables provide nutrient densecalories and healthy ber.

    Now with an understanding on the principles and keys to TheLiestyle Cut Diet, lets discuss nutrition.

    What Is Nutrition?

    Nutrition is the science o oods and nutrients and theiractions within the body (including ingestion, digestion, ab-

    sorption, transportation, utilization and excretion). Nutritionhas played a signicant role in your lie, even beore birth, andwill continue to aect your lie in major ways depending onthe oods you select.

    Food Selections People decide what to eat and whento eat oten based on social motives rather than onawareness o nutritional importance to their health. Theollowing are various behavioral/social motives or oodselections:

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    18/107

    1. Body weight and personal image Some people selectcertain oods and supplements that they believe will improvetheir physical appearance and avoid oods they eel might bedetrimental. These decisions can be benecial when basedon sound nutrition and exercise inormation, but can be thereverse i based on quick xes and ads with no backing.

    2. Availability, convenience and economy Peopleeat oods that are accessible, quick and easy to prepare andwithin their nancial means. With todays daily stressors (work,children, nances, personal appearance, etc), quick and easyselections outweigh healthy nutrition selections all the time.

    3. Social interactions Many people enjoy eating withriends. Meals are social events and the sharing o ood is parto hospitality.

    4. Emotional comort Many people eat in responseto stress or emotional stimuli. Eating in response to emotionsand/or stress can lead to overeating and increased weight gain.

    5. Personal preerence People like certain oods basedon favor and taste.

    6. Habits Certain oods are selected based on habit.People will eat cereal every morning or breakast based on

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    19/107

    habit. Eating a amiliar ood and not having to make anydecisions can be easy/less stressul and comorting.

    7. Ethnic heritage or tradition One o the strongestinfuences on ood selections. Dierent ethnic backgroundshave staple oods that they use in their main dishes.

    8. Positive and negative association People tend to like

    oods that were related to a un or happy moment in their lie.On the other hand, they may not like a ood because it madethem sick or they ate it while they were sick.

    9. Values Food selections that may refect onesreligious belies, political views or environmental concerns.

    FOODS vs. NUTRIENTS = ENERGY

    Foods are products derived orm plants and animalsthat can be consumed by the body to provide nutrientsor maintenance o lie and the growth and repair o

    tissues. Nutrients are the chemical compounds obtained romood and used by the body to provide energy, structuralmaterials and regulating agents to support growth, maintenanceand repair o the bodys tissues and organs.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    20/107

    ENERGY is the capacity to do work. The energy romood is chemical energy. The body can convert this chemicalenergy into mechanical, electrical and heat energy.

    The Six Essential Nutrients

    The body can make some nutrients, but it cannot makeall o the nutrients it needs or sucient amounts o some nu-trients; these nutrients are called essential nutrients. Essentialnutrients must be consumed through ones diet in order tomeet the bodys needs; the body must obtain these nutrientsrom oods. The nutrients that ood must supply are called ES-SENTIAL NUTRIENTS.

    There are six classes of essential nutrients:

    Carbohydrates Fats/Lipids

    Proteins Water

    Minerals Vitamins

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    21/107

    Macronutrients: Carbs, Protein, and Fats

    This section will tell you why we use these nutrients, what theyare or, and educate you on the dierence within the catego-ries.

    Carbohydrates Types = Simple, Complex and Fiber. Primary Function = Supply energy to body. Immediate energy source. Only uel useable by brain & blood cells.

    Primary uel or muscles during high intensity exercise. Long chains o sugar units.

    Simple Carbohydrates

    Only one to two sugar units in length.

    Monosaccharides & Disaccharides. Make oods sweet. Digested and absorbed quickly which leads

    to highblood glucose levels (large insulin spike) and

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    22/107

    conversion o ood to at in the liver. Examples = Table sugar, candy, sodas, high ructose

    corn syrup, ruits, honey.

    Complex (starchy) Carbohydrates

    Chains o many sugar units (10s to 1000s in length). Digested and absorbed slowly which leads to healthyblood glucose levels (normal insulin response) andconversion o ood energy or the body.

    Whole grains, oatmeal, bran, potatoes, wheat/wholegrain bread/pastas.

    Dietary Fiber

    A type o carbohydrate but cannot be digested by thehuman gut nor does it provide any energy o which tospeak.

    Among its protective qualities, it helps soten stool andencourages normal eliminations (healthy bowelmovements).

    Fiber rich diets also promote a eeling o ullness,

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    23/107

    which is very benecial or those looking to drop a ewexcess pounds.

    Fiber has been linked to a reduction in heart attacks,strokes, colon cancer and diabetes.

    Two Types o Dietary Fiber:

    Soluble o Dissolves in water & can be broken down by bacteria

    in the large intestine. o Slows down glucose absorption and binds up

    cholesterol molecules.

    o Sources o soluble ber are: Fruits, Vegetables, Oats,Barley, Legumes.

    o Benets: Slower release o glucose into bloodstream. Slower stomach emptying (increased eeling o

    ullness). Reduces absorption o dietary cholesterol.

    Insoluble o Does not dissolve in water and can not be broken

    down by bacteria in the large intestine.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    24/107

    o

    Binds water into the eces, making it soter & bulkierso that it passes quickly & easily through thedigestion system.

    o Sources o insoluble ber are: wheat bran, whole grainbreads, whole grain cereals, cabbage, carrots, brusselsprouts.

    o Benets: Prevents constipation, hemorrhoids &

    diverticulitis. Binds up carcinogens, reducing exposure to

    them.

    BOTH orms o ber reduce atty acid absorption (de-creasing risk o CVD) and reduce the risk o Colon/Rectal can-cer. However, extremely high dietary ber intake (more than40 grams per day) can also lead to health problems includingchronic diarrhea & diculties in dietary nutrient absorption.

    Carbohydrate Selection Tips and Recommendations

    1. Select oods high in ber like whole grains, oats andbran.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    25/107

    2. Eat starchy carbs (breads, pastas, cereals, rice, etc)earlier in the day beore three PM.3. Eat brous vegetable carbs (broccoli, asparagus,

    spinach, green beans, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, etc) in placeo starchy carbs ater three PM.

    4. Carbs provide our calories per gram.

    5. Limit intake o simple sugars/sweets, ruit drinks andsodas.

    6. Consume one to two ruit servings per day.7. When eating any carbohydrate (simple or complex), it

    is benecial to add one to two servings o good ats (al-monds, peanut butter, avocado, fax oil, reduced atdressing) to reduce insulin release. Fats will bind withcarbohydrates in the stomach and release smalleramounts into the intestine. This smaller (bolus) amounto digested good carbs will indicate a smaller need orinsulin. Thereore, reducing chances o excess at storage.

    Proteins

    These nutrients serve as structural building blocks andthe work horses in body chemistry.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    26/107

    They are only used as a source o energy whenalternative sources are not adequately available - veryinecient conversion to glucose!

    Functions o Protein in the Body: o Structural Components o Body (esp. Muscle, Bone). o Enzymes (workhorses o body chemistry).

    o Hormones (communication). o Antibodies (immunity). o Emergency source o energy. o Help maintain body fuid balance.

    Made up o NITROGEN containing subunits called

    AMINO ACIDS. There are 20 total amino acids.

    9 o the 20 amino acids are essential: Histidine,Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, Methionine, Leucine,Threonine, Valine, Lysine, and Tryptophan

    Protein QualityComplete vs. Incomplete

    COMPLETE PROTEINS o Contain all the essential amino acids in adequate

    amounts.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    27/107

    o

    Good sources include: Lean meat, boneless/skinlesschicken breast, resh sh, egg white, cheese, milk, soy.

    INCOMPLETE PROTEINS: o Lacking in one or more o the essential amino acids. o Least present essential amino acid (relatively) is the

    Limiting Factor in protein synthesis.

    o Complimentary Proteins (need to mix & match to getcorrect quantities and balance).

    Examples: o wheat bread/peanut butter

    o beans/rice

    Protein Selection Tips and Recommendations

    1. Select lean meats such as halibut, tilapia, boneless/skinless chicken breast (white meat), lean turkey breast,egg whites and whey protein.

    2. Necessary or building lean muscle tissue.3. Protein provides 4 calories per gram.4. Protein needs vary based on activity levels; 0.8 grams

    per kg body weight in normal people and 1.2 2.2 grams perkg body weight in athletes.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    28/107

    5. I on a high protein diet, it is essential to stayhydrated. Dehydration and increased protein intakecan cause the kidneys to over work themselves.

    Fats / Lipids

    These nutrients represent the most concentrated source

    o energy. They are a necessary nutrient in the body, only excesses

    should be avoided!

    Functions o Fat in Body: o Storage o Energy.

    o Absorption o Fat-Soluble Vitamins. o Adding Flavor & Texture to Food.

    o Structural Components o Hormones.

    o Structural Components o Cell Membranes.

    o Insulation o Body.

    o Cushioning o Body.

    Triglycerides o 95% o all stored lipids in the body

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    29/107

    o

    90% o at weight in oods. o Function = Stored Energy

    Three TYPES o TRIGLYCERIDES

    Saturatedo All hydrogen bonding locations are lled.

    o No carbons are double bonded. o More stable so solid at room temperature. o Common in red meats, whole milk, cheese, butter, ice

    cream.

    o Causes increases in LDL production! (the badcholesterol)

    Monounsaturated o All hydrogen bonding locations are lled except

    ONE. o One pair o carbons is double bonded. o Sources: olive & canola oil, avocados, almonds,

    peanut butter. o Reduces total blood cholesterol, LDL, and blood

    triglyceride levels. (Reducing risk o heart disease,

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    30/107

    stroke, and some cancers!)o Increases HDL levels - MOST EFFECTIVE FORPROMOTING CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH!

    Polyunsaturated o Multiple hydrogen bonding locations are open. o Multiple double bonds are present.

    o Unstable so liquid at room temperature. o Sources: Corn & sunfower oils, soy, walnuts, sh,

    and dark green leay vegetables. o Reduces total blood cholesterol, LDL, and blood

    triglyceride levels. (Reducing risk o heart disease,stroke, and some cancers!)

    Two Essential Fatty Acids (BOTH are polyunsaturated)

    Omega-6 Fatty Acids (AKA Linoleic Acid) o Common sources include vegetable oils, seeds, nuts,

    and whole grains. o Commonly ound in margarine, mayonnaise, and

    salad dressings. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (AKA Linolenic Acid) o Common sources are sh and sh oils.

    o

    This one is where decits usually occur! Functions: o Same as other polyunsaturates, but also aect growth

    in inants and proper unctioning o nerves and cellmembranes.

    Decits: o Can lead to growth retardation decreased reproduc-

    tive unction, kidney/liver ailure.

    Fat Selection Tips and Recommendations

    1. Select lean ats rich in omega 3 and omega 6 attyacids such as sh oil, olive & canola oil, avocados,almonds, peanut butter, nuts, etc.

    2. Total calories per day rom at should not exceed30%3. No more than 7% o total ats rom saturated

    sources - red meats, whole milk, cheese, butter, ice cream.4. Select ood low in Cholesterol 300mg o cholesterol

    or less per day.5. Select Salad dressing that are Light and made with

    canola oil, olive oil, or safower oil.

    Simple Ways to Reduce Fat Consumption

    Prepare meatless main dishes or those containing onlysmall amounts o meat.

    Use skinless chicken & turkey.

    Bake, barbecue, broil, steam, roast, or stew meats ratherthan rying.

    Use lean cuts o meat and trim o visible at. Drink non-at milk.

    Limit creamy spreads and dressings (substitute vinaigerettes).

    Avoid cooking with lard or tropical oils (palm &coconut).

    Skim the at o the top o soups (they naturallydissociate & foat at the top).

    Use tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, etc. to add favorto sauces instead o butter, creams, or cheeses.

    Carbophobia (Fear o Carbohydrates)Do Carbohydrates Make You Fat?Or is it the Type o Carbohydrate that Make you Fat?

    Low Carb, NO Carbs, Good Carbs, Bad Carbs That seems tobe the slogan or all dieters nowadays. Everybody wants the quick x.So what do we do? Who do we listen to? Well research has indicatedthat there are so called Good Carbs and Bad Carbs. What helps us todistinguish between a good carb or bad carb is whats called the glycemiceect o ood.

    What is Glycemic Eect o Food?

    The glycemic eect o ood is a measure o the extent to which

    a ood, as compared to pure glucose (given a score o 100), raises bloodsugar concentrations and elicits and insulin response. The glycemiceect indicates how ast glucose is absorbed ater a person eats a particularood, how high blood glucose rises, and how quickly it returns to normal.The best carbs to take in to reduce excessive at storage are slow digest-

    ing/absorbing carbs. Slow absorbing carbs will give a low to mild rise inblood glucose and a smooth return to normal blood glucose levels (lowinsulin response = low glycemic eect). The undesirable carbs produce aSURGE in blood glucose, a major insulin response and then an overreac-tion that plunges blood glucose down (this is what causes the lethargy or

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    34/107

    sluggishness you eel ater eating a meal with high GI carbs).Most relevant to real lie, a oods glycemic eect diers

    depending on whether it is eaten alone or as part o a meal. Also,eating requent, small meals spreads glucose absorption throughout theday and thus oers similar metabolic advantages to eating oods with a lowglycemic eect. The reason that using the glycemic index in mealplanning is popular with some dietitians is that this diet can reduce

    insulin secretion and improve glucose and at metabolism. Inaddition, meal plans designed using Low GI oods have also been related toprevention o heart disease and diabetes as well as preventing obesity.Slow digesting and high ber carbs prolong the presence o oods inthe digestive track, increase the sensation o ullness and reduce insulinresponse. The lower the insulin response, the less insulin is produced,leading to better weight control. In contrast, high GI oods will cause

    a large insulin response or spike, causing increased cravings, low bloodsugar and overeating.

    Why is the Glycemic Eect o Food Important to Understand?

    The theory behind the Glycemic Eect o Food is to utilize oods

    (Low Glycemic Index Foods) that can support healthy blood glucose bybalancing insulin response naturally. Your body perorms best when yourblood sugar is kept relatively constant. I your blood sugar drops toolow, you become lethargic and/or experience increased hunger, nausea,agitation, headaches and sweet cravings. On the other hand, i it goes too

    high, your brain signals your pancreas to secrete more insulin. Insulinbrings your blood sugar back down, but primarily by converting the ex-cess sugar to stored at. In addition to this high blood glucose is the actthat the greater the increase in insulin output the more likely it will drivedown blood glucose leading to low blood glucose levels then the viscouscycle continues unless stopped. Thereore, when you eat oods that causea large and rapid glycemic response, you may eel an initial elevation in

    energy and mood as your blood sugar rises, but this is ollowed by a cycleo increased at storage, lethargy, and unstoppable ood cravings!How Can Understanding and Selecting Low GI Foods Help Me Lose Fat?

    As stated, one o the most eective ways to reduce body at andcontrol insulin balance is by eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day

    combined with physical activity (such as resistance training and someorm o cardio). Small, requent meals also increase the thermic eect oood as well as prevent the body rom going into starvation mode. Thinko it as every time you eat nutrient dense and low GI oods, your bodyhas to burn calories to digest the oods. Hence, the more requently youeat, the more you balanced your insulin levels and the more calories youburn.

    Many people think that all they have to do is starve themselvesand they will lose weight. That is true to an extent. What happens whenyou do not eed your body, it senses a need to preserve itsel. Over time,it slows down its metabolic rate and begins to eed on muscle tissueand body at at a very slow rate. On a worse note, when you decide to

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    36/107

    begin to eat again, your metabolic rate is so slow that any excess caloricintake will be stored VERY EASILY as body at. The current science alsoagrees there should be a larger portion o carbohydrates mixed with moremoderate amounts o protein and especially at. The glycemic indexallows us to more eectively evaluate our nutrition plan ocusing on thequality o carbohydrates. For those who incorporate a larger amount olow glycemic oods, will be rewarded with a slow and steady release o

    glucose keeping insulin levels in check and lowering body at.Are there Ways to Lower the GI o Foods that I like that are High GI?

    1. FATS: Fats slow gastric emptying and slows the absorption oood. I absorption into the small intestine is slowed, the insulin responsewill be low. Any time you add ats to a meal it will lower the GI o themeal.

    2. FIBER: Vegetables anyone? Fiber is a complex structure thattakes a long time or the body to break down and absorb. Some beris indigestible by the body. Soluble ber ound in oats & grains, ruits,and gums are ideal. As they dissolve they gel up in the stomach and slowdown gastric emptying reducing the insulin response.

    3. COMBINING CARBS: You can also lower the total GI o

    a meal by combining high glycemic carbs with low glycemic carbs. Forexample i you ate a baked potato (High GI) and then ate around thesame amount o steamed broccoli (Low GI), the total GI o the mealwould be much lower than i you just ate the baked potato.

    A ew pointers to about the benefts o LOW GI oods:

    To balance blood sugar levels and reduce drastic insulinspikes, eat smaller more requent balanced meals.

    Each carbohydrate in your meals must be combinedwith a quality at source and some sort o vegetable.

    You should not have a diet too low in at. The wholecraze over high at, high protein diets are to decreasespikes in insulin and to lower the GI index o oods andmeals. Just make sure you are selecting HEALTHY atssuch as avocado, fax/enova oil, peanut butter, almonds,walnuts, REDUCED FAT dressing, canola oil and olive

    oil. Low GI diets help people lose body at and controlweight.

    Low GI diets increase the bodys sensitivity to insulin. Low GI carbs reduce the risk o heart disease.

    Low GI carbs reduce blood cholesterol levels.

    Low GI carbs reduce hunger and keep you uller orlonger periods o time. Low GI carbs provide long lasting energy so you arealert all day long.

    Glycemic Index o some Common FoodsI dextrose gets a score o 100, what does that mean or

    other oods and their score? Well, brown rice is assigned anindex number o 55, which means brown rice raises blood glu-cose levels 55 percent as much as pure glucose. In general, oods

    below 55 are considered low glycemic index oods, 55-70 rep-resents mid-glycemic index oods and over 70 are consideredhigh glycemic oods. The ollowing oods are listed as Low GI,Moderate GI and High GI.

    Food Cravings, Lack o Energy, and Frequent illness:Can it be related to stress?

    Can it be the reason I gain weight?

    Stress has become an everyday word in our society. Howmany times have you said or heard Boy, what a stressul dayI had, or I have been so stressed out lately. How oten toodo you shovel a sandwich down your mouth while typing ane-mail or nishing a report. Then 15 minutes later eel bloated,stued and tired?

    The term stress describes any alteration or interruption

    in your lie, be it physical, emotional or psychological. Manyo us recognize stress as a negative eeling such as meeting adeadline or work, nancial concerns, relationships, childrenand the list goes on. Anxiety, the unknown, ear, rustration,anger, and tension are the eelings we most oten associate withstress.

    The act is, stress can also be experienced rom a positivestimulus such as getting married, buying your rst car or rsthouse, witnessing your child graduate rom high school. Evenwhen your body responds to an illness, it undergoes stress.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    44/107

    What we do not realize is that repetitive tension and stressincreases a neurochemical response that clinically has shown tolead to overeating and weight gain. When your body respondsto a stressul stimulus, it goes through many neurochemical,behavioral and immunological changes. These changes areWAY OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. The goal is to bring your

    body back to a state o calmness.It all starts with our brain. When we eel stress, the brain

    stimulates the pituitary gland to release a hormone calledAdrenoCorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) which then signalsyour adrenal glands (located near your kidneys) to releasevarious hormones, mainly adrenaline and cortisol.Adrenaline makes you eel alert, increas-ing heart rate and blood pressure.

    Adrenaline will also increase your metabolismbreaking down ats, carbohydrates and proteins or energy toget the body back to a balanced, happy state. While doing this,

    your body depletes itsel o energy stores and essential vitaminsand minerals. The other hormone released is CORTISOL.Cortisol is utilized to breakdown stored energy as well as muscletissue. Cortisol also stimulates insulin, which leads to blood

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    45/107

    sugar dips and at storage. Its a vicious cycle that eeds onitsel, over and over until the stress is calmed.

    Now that we know cortisol breaks down storedenergy to increase blood glucose which then stimulates insulinsecretion, we now can understand why stress will cause oodcravings, lethargy, irritability as well as weight gain. The

    cascade o events may appear as ollows:

    1. Stress response Finances are tight and your bills aredue. You have a report due the next day and you have to missyour sons rst pop warner ootball game. The stressul eelingmakes you eel ear, anxiety, sweaty palms, etc.

    2. Hormone action Neurochemical reactions causeadrenaline and cortisol to be released rise in blood pressure,heart rate, alertness.

    3. Action in the body Breakdown o stored energy (car-bohydrates, ats and proteins) increases blood glucose levels

    (which in turn causes insulin to rise) utilizing all blood sugaror protection leaving you in a LOW BLOOD GLUCOSEstate.

    4. LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE One o the rst signs

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    46/107

    o low blood glucose is a craving or sweets and carbohydrates.

    When the blood sugar levels all below normal, symptoms

    such as nervousness, irritability, atigue, nausea, depression,

    disturbed vision, and headaches appear.

    5. Excessive intake o sweets and rened carbohydrates

    - The typical human response now is to consume excessive

    amounts o sweets and rened carbohydrates to eel better andget blood glucose back to normal. The problem here is the

    EXCESSIVE intake which now increases blood glucose too

    high and spikes another insulin response. This insulin response

    is so drastic that the body stores body at (rom the excessive

    caloric intake) and then puts the body back into an LOWBLOOD GLUCOSE state.

    6. Weight Gain, Body Fat storage - Over the long haul,

    this pattern o excessive sugar and rened carbohydrate intake

    causes the pancreas to go into overdrive. With each intake, the

    pancreas foods the body with insulin, which makes blood-sug-ar level drop dramatically back to a LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE

    state and the viscous cycle continues. The increase in excessive

    insulin is a major culprit to weight gain and at storage.

    During exercise, Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA)oxidation, especially leucine, is increased. The BCAA aredierent rom other amino acids in that they are primarilymetabolized in skeletal muscle. In order to meet the increaseddemand or BCAAs during exercise, the body breaks downmuscle tissue to supply additional BCAA. By supplying the

    body exogenous BCAA during exercise, one can meet theincreased demand or BCAA oxidation without breaking downmuscle tissue to supply the needed BCAA. This leads to greatergains in lean muscle tissue and at loss. Because BCAA serve asa uel or skeletal muscle, BCAA supplementation has beenused to enhance sports perormance and recovery.

    to burn some serious at! I you have been looking or theultimate at burner, read on. Dialene 4 could change the wayyou look and eel within the blink o an eye.

    The Mission

    Our goal with Dialene 4 was to use synergy to createthe ultimate at burner. A at burner so eective that you caneel it working and burning o that pesky at. How we do thatinvolves more than just putting eective ingredients in acapsule. For Scivation, it entails researching and testing

    how these compounds can work synergistically and thendelivering it through a never-beore used, scientically advanced,patent-pending delivery system to ensure optimal delivery. Wedid just that. Here is a brie overview o these combinations:

    G4 Fat Incinerating Matrix 675mg

    (Lean Green (Green Tea standardized or 50% EGCG), Ca-eine (USP), Green Coee Bean Extract (Containing Chloro-genic Acid, Feruloyl Quinic Acid and Neochlorogenic acid),Naringin

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    52/107

    The bottom line is that this matrix is meant burn at atan unparalleled rate. EGCG rom Green Tea, Caeine USP,Chlorogenic Acid, Feruloyl Quinic Acid, Neochlorogenic acidsand Naringin work together to ignite thermogenesis, increaselipolysis (at burning) and even improve glucose tolerance.Bottom line, NOTHING on the market compares to the G4

    Fat Incinerating Matrix or burning at! All without any crashat all.

    CogniLean Blend 660mg(N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, Phenylethylamine, D,L-Phenylalanine,Vinpocetine)

    This is the most synergistic blend or mentalperormance ever created. The CogniLean Blend is especiallyuseul while dieting with lowered calories and/or carbs. The bot-tom line is that this blend increases blood fow and the addition oN-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine to Phenylethylamine and D,L-Phenyala-

    nine prevents these compounds rom breaking down and putsthem to work. And as you will see ater trying your ree sample(see end o article), they work unbelievably well. On top o thatyou have Vinpocetine, which increases blood fow to the brain.

    The increased blood fow also enhances at burning, workingwith the G4 Fat Incinerating Matrix to make Dialene 4 evenMORE POTENT o a at burner. Hold onto your seats, theride is not over yet.

    LipoLean Blend 325mg

    (Cayenne Pepper 40,000 HU, Citrus Peel Extract (containinglimonene and terpinen-4-ol), Evodiamine)

    This is the blend created by Mysel and LayneNorton, Scivation athlete and Natural Bodybuilding Pro whois also a leader in BCAA research at the University o Illinois.

    Cayenne Pepper was added because it increases thermogenesis bydilating blood vessels and increasing blood circulation. Bloodfow to adipose tissue is very important or the transportationo atty acids to be burned. Increasing blood fow allows moreatty acids to be delivered to tissues where they can be burned.Evodiamine is an alkaloid extracted rom the plant Evodiae

    Fructus. In-vitro studies and studies done on rats have shownevodiamine to decrease at uptake into cells, increase bodytemperature, and increase catecholamine secretion. Then thereis the proprietary Citrus Peel Extract blend used exclusively by

    Scivation. This is one o the biggest discoveries on lipolysis todate. Scivation ound it, and expect copycats to ollow suit.

    The Sci-Cap Revolution

    Dialene 4 is delivered with the revolutionarySci-Cap Technology. Sci-Caps utilize a unique, patent-pendingdelivery system that stabilizes Dialene 4s components inCandelia Wax. Candelia Wax is a natural, plant-derived waxthat is used commonly in kosher and vegetarian ormulations.Unlike other liquid capsules, Dialene 4 orms a gel-like mix-ture inside o the capsule rather than ree-fowing liquid. This

    provides or maximum protection and stability o Dialene4s highly-eective components in various climates as well asreduces the risk o melting, where sotgels will stick togetherover time. This ensures that the components in Dialene 4 goto work and burn that pesky at without wasting even onemilligram!

    Dialene 4 is the result o years o scientic researcheaturing the G4 Fat Incinerating Matrix, shown in clinicalstudies to promote large increases in nor-adrenalin all while

    By adding Dialene 4 to the Liestyle Cut Diet you willincrease the amount o at released rom at cells and then burnthat newly released at, accelerating your weight and at loss.

    SesaminThe Healthy Solution to Fat Loss

    What is Sesamin and What Does it Do?

    Sesamin is a naturally occulting lignan ound insesame seeds and oil. A lignan is a molecule that combines with areceptor or another entity acting as an activator. In thecase o Sesamin, it binds to and activates a receptor called

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    56/107

    Peroxisome Prolierator-Activator Receptor Alpha (PPARal-

    pha).

    Fat can be oxidized in the mitochondria and theperoxisomes o cells, the majority o this oxidationoccurring in skeletal muscle cells and the liver. PPARalphaactivation by sesamin increases at oxidation in mitochondria and

    peroxisomes by increasing the creation o enzymes involvedin the oxidation o atty acids. As its name suggests, activationo the Peroxisome Prolierator-Activator Receptor causes thecreation o new peroxisomes. More ezymes or at oxidationand more peroxisomes means more at can be oxidized.

    In addition to increasing the oxidation o at, Sesaminsupplementation has also been shown to decrease lipogenesis(at storage) by decreasing lipogenic enzymes in the liver. SoSesamin works in two ways to make you lean (and keep youlean): increasing at oxidation and decreasing at storage.

    Additional Health Benefts o Sesamin

    In addition to increasing at oxidation and decreasinglipogensis, Sesamin supplementation also has many health

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    57/107

    benets. Sesamin has been shown to be antihypertensive,

    an antioxidant itsel and increase the recycling o vitamin E,provide liver protection against alcohol and improve liver andkidney unction, decrease cholesterol levels while increasinghigh density lipoprotein (HDL aka good cholesterol) levels,and is an anti-infammatory. These health benets alone make

    Sesamin supplementation a wise decision.How much and when should I take Sesamin?

    Sesamin is generally dosed at 1500 mg per day dividedinto three 500mg dosages spread throughout the day, but someusers may desire to use more or less (1,000-2,000 mg).

    Sesamin is best taken with a meal that includes at because theat will increase the lymphatic absorption o Sesamin, therebyincreasing its eectiveness.

    A More Advanced Training Routine

    I you are a strength athlete or a perormance athlete,

    you need movements perormed in training to translate to

    your sport. Bodybuilding is about growing deeply dened,

    etched muscle, not perormance. We know that you must

    condition a muscle, strengthen it and then build it. Thisprocess takes time. However, the body also adapts very well. We

    recommend a 12-week training program (split routine hitting

    each body part once per week and allowing recovery, which

    is highly notarized by bodybuilders) that will condition,

    strengthen and build your muscles while on the Liestyle CutDiet. It is known in the Exercise Science realm that repetitions

    lower than ve are designed or strength and power. Muscle

    growth (hypertrophy) is ound in the 8-12 rep range. These

    are the two extremes. Meaning that i, hypothetically, 100%

    o strength is ound in reps ve or below and 100% growthis ound in reps 10-12, then its sae to say that strength and

    growth can be attained (not 100% o each) at reps 6-10. This is

    our ocus. We divide the routine into three phases:

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    62/107

    Phase 1: Conditioning

    Phase 2: Growth/StrengthPhase 3: Strength/Growth

    Weeks 1-4: Conditioning

    During the Conditioning weeks, our rep ranges are 12-15and we perorm three to our sets or all upper body and lowerbody work. The goal is to adjust the weight (increase the load(weight) as the volume (reps) decreases) to get 12-15 reps onevery exercise. Rest 60 seconds between sets.

    Week 1The goal is to handle a weight and rep range that allows orcompletion o 15 reps or three sets.

    Week 2

    The goal is increase the weight but drop the reps to 12.

    Week 3The goal is to increase the weight and increase the reps to 15.

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    63/107

    Week 4

    The goal is to increase the weight again, but drop the reps backto 12. By varying our weight and reps we essentially are trick-ing our bodies into getting major results that are not capablerom old training regimes. We are promoting a new type oathlete that is in control o his body and whose training allows

    or complete development o muscle density, tone, denition,symmetry, and superior strength.

    Weeks 5-8: Growth/Strength

    During the Growth/Strength weeks, our rep ranges aresix to ten and ve to six sets or all upper body and lower bodywork. The goal is to adjust the weight (increase the load as thevolume decreases) to get six to ten reps on every exercise. Rest60-90 seconds between sets.

    Week 1The rep range will be ten reps or ve sets.

    Week 2

    The goal is to increase the weight, but you must get eight repsor ve sets.

    Week 3

    The goal is to increase the weight, but you must get six reps or

    ve sets.

    Week 4

    The goal is to increase the weight and to increase the sets, but

    you must get eight reps or six sets.

    Our philosophy or this program is to stimulate the mus-

    cle ber to recruit more muscle bers quickly. By increasing

    the muscle ber density and recruitment patterns we are creat-

    ing growth in the muscle. With the increase o growth, we now

    have the ability to increase strength through greater muscle -ber recruitment. When this happens, growth occurs more rap-

    idly due to muscle ber recruitment and strength gains. This

    allows us to perorm a higher load volume or training.

    Liestyle Cardio

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    75/107

    Liestyle Cardio

    30-45 minutes o low-intensity cardio (heart rate o130-150 bpm) should be done prior to or ater everyworkout. Low-intensity cardio done pre or post-workout promotesincreased blood fow and nutrient and oxygen deliverythroughout the body, which aids in at loss and recovery.

    Additional cardio may be done on two o the three o days.

    While we believe that diet is 90% o getting lean andreducing bodyat, we still recommend 30-45 minutes o cardio(130-150 Heart Rate which is equivalent to 55-65% VO2 Maxage/gender pending) our to ve days per week depending onbody type and bodyat percentage while on the Liestyle CutDiet.

    Cardio is essential or supplying oxygen to your mus-cles or maximum growth. Our entire approach to dieting

    is based on muscle preservation. Too much cardio or cardioat a high level o intensity will eat at muscle tissue. This iscounterproductive because we are trying to lose at and keepas much muscle as possible. Lower intensity cardio increases

    at oxidation (burns body at) and does not catabolize (waste)

    nearly as much muscle as high intensity cardio, especially on areduced calorie/low carbohydrate diet. We usually recommendlight walking on a treadmill with an incline.

    2. Drink plenty o water beore, during and ater exer-cising. Maintaining healthy hydration supports energy levels,increases endurance, prevents cramping and potential injuries

    and increases at loss.

    3. Make an exercise plan. Sit down and make a realisticplan as to what exercises you want to do and what days and

    Training Essentials

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    78/107

    ule.4. Set Daily and weekly goals. Long term goals are great

    to reach or, but sometimes get lost in the shufe and we tendto ask, Why am I working so hard, i the ultimate goal is soar away. Take Baby Steps and set daily goals, then stretch itout to weekly goals. Beore you know it, you will be at yourultimate long term goal.

    5. NEVER OVEREXERCISE! Use common sense andavoid trying to do too much too soon. The key to a successulexercise program is Little and Frequent. Exercising should

    not be a temporary thing, make it a liestyle decision.Form Over Ego!

    We cannot stress enough how important it is tomaintain strict orm on all movements. This means stabilizing

    your body and contracting your abs so you isolate the primaryintended muscles. For example, when doing a standing barbellcurl, tighten your abs and do not rock or swing the weight.By tightening your abs, you stabilize your body and prevent

    momentum. This will also help condition your abs and save

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    79/107

    your lower back.

    Rest, Dont Nap, Between Sets

    We recommend 60-120 seconds o rest periods betweensets. This allows your body to recover some o its expended

    ATP but is not so long that you lose the fow o the workout.Remember, the goal is to get in and out o the weight room in30-45 minutes.

    Compound Movements Kill 2 Birds

    We like to begin the workout with compoundmovements, or ree weight exercises targeting more than onemuscle group. This is why we recommend Bench Press (chest,shoulders, triceps), Rows (back, biceps, orearms) and thedaddy o them all, Squats (entire body).

    No Pre-Workout Shake?

    On the Cut Diet with your pre, during and post-workout

    Xtend and Substance WPI cocktail, you do not need a pre

    80/107

    workout shake or a special pre-workout meal other than therecommended handul o capsules that provideantioxidants, stimulants, nootropics, etc. that you will nd in ourrecommended Liestyle Cut Diet supplement plan. Yousimply need to train 60-90 minutes ater one o your scheduledmeals. What i you train rst thing in the morning? Simply start

    sipping your Xtend and Substance WPI cocktail 15 minutesprior to your workout and continue sipping throughout yourweight training and cardio. This is all you need!

    I you do not have Xtend, you can sip on Whey ProteinIsolate during training and then consume one to two scoops(40 grams) o Whey Protein Isolate immediately post work-out. Eat your next scheduled meal 30-45 minutes ater yourworkout.

    When do I eat or training?

    We recommend eating rst thing in the morning toget the body cranking. Breakast is the most important mealo the day. Get up, wash your ace, go to the bathroom

    and start making breakast. As or scheduling training, we

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    81/107

    recommend planning your meals so that one o your meals is60-90 minutes beore you workout (PRE-WORKOUT MEAL)and then the next meal in line is 45-60 min ater the workout. Thisis assuming that you have your Xtend/Substance WPIcocktail during training. I you dot not have Xtend/SubstanceWPI during training, then we recommend a PWO shake o

    whey protein isolate/ whey protein concentrate immediatelyollowing your workout. Then within 60-75 minutes, eat yournext scheduled meal. Every meal thereater should be two toour hours apart.

    I you get up at 6am and train in the morning then your mealswill look like this:

    6:00 AM - Meal 17-8:30 AM - Workout

    9:00 AM - Meal 212:00 PM - Meal 34:00 PM - Meal 48:00 PM - Meal 5

    What i I Miss a Workout?

    I you miss a workout, simply work your schedule so you

    get back on track. Do not skip a workout! This program is basedon training each muscle group as prescribed or optimal results.For example, i you miss an arm workout on Friday, simplytrain arms on Saturday then train your shoulders on Sunday.You will then be on track and ready to go on Monday!

    Setting Up Your Own Liestyle Cut Diet

    Your goal is to get 5-6 small meals per day. Eating small,

    requent meals helps keep blood glucose and insulin levels

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    83/107

    stable, keeps you ull and satised, and promotes at loss.

    Liestyle Protein Intake

    The Liestyle Cut Diet is geared towards making dietingless complicated so you can live your lie. Instead o getting

    boggled down with counting every single gram o protein romyour diet and trying to hit an exact amount each day, we simplyrecommend eating 4-6 oz. o a lean protein source each meal. 1oz. o lean meat equals about 7 grams o protein, so you will beeating 28-42 grams o protein per meal. Good proteins includechicken, lean bee and turkey, tuna and other sh, eggs (alsohas at) and egg whites, and protein supplements.

    Liestyle Carbohydrate Intake

    The Liestyle Cut Diet is a low carbohydrate diet,

    structured to maintain stable insulin and blood sugar levels.Our carbohydrate intake recommendation is simple, 1-2 cupso green vegetables with each meal and 2-3 pieces o ruit perday eaten with meals. Each cup o vegetables contains about 10

    grams o carbs. A meal that contains 1 cup o vegetables and 1

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    84/107

    piece o ruit will have about 30 grams o carbohydrates in it.

    Liestyle Fat Intake

    Dietary at is very important or proper bodyunctioning. Most people have an unbalanced view o dietary

    at and thereore limit it. The Liestyle Cut Diet promotesgetting good ats with every meal, which helps tomaintain stable blood glucose and insulin levels. We recommendgetting 10-20 grams o at with each meal. Good sources o atinclude: almonds and almond butter, peanuts and peanut butter,avocado, fax seed and olive oil, and eggs.

    Liestyle Carb Reeed/Cheat Meal

    In Game Over, we recommend a carb reeed consistingo oatmeal and sweet potatoes every three days. In The Liestyle

    Cut Diet we give you the opinion o having a cheat meal inplace o the carb reeeds, which will allow you to go out toeat with your riends and amily and enjoy yoursel while nothampering your progress. While we recommend eating good

    complex carbs like grains (such as oatmeal) and starches (such

    Cheaters Always Prosper

    The OFFICIAL Scivation Guide to Dietary CheatingBy: Chuck Rudolph, MEd, RD

    With

    Marc Lobliner and Derek Charlebois

    Since publishing Game OverThe Final Showtime CutDiet Youll Ever Need, we have been bombarded with emailsand comments. The one most requently asked question is howand when it is okay to deviate rom the plan. The answer orthis is simpleNever! I ollowing the Cut Diet, you should

    not cheat and i you do cheat, it better not be oten. I youdo happen to cheat, dont cry to us that your results arentoptimal. The bottom line is that the Cut Diet relies on get-ting the body primed and in the zone. Cheats throw this o.

    But what i ollowing more o a liestyle type Cut Diet where

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    86/107

    you taper carbs throughout the day or even bulking? These aresituations where cheating is acceptable and downright yummy.I you like eating pie and being lean at the same time read onand nd out how you can cheat and win!

    How much can I cheat?

    Lets set orth some guidelines. While it is okay tohave the occasional Thanksgiving-like east where you eatuntil your pants dont t and your eet are swollen, we do notrecommend doing this on a weekly basis. Thus, whenollowing the aorementioned diets, we recommend two to

    three cheat meals per week with calories at around 150% o yournormal meal. Meaning that i a normal meal or you yields 500calories, you will want the cheat to be around 750 calories.But how do you count cheat calories? You dont. It is all aboutmoderation and approximating the total. In essence, eat untilyou are ull yet not stued.

    What can I eat or my cheat meal?

    We recommend making healthy choices, but the beauty

    o a cheat meal is that you can cave in to those cravings! I you

    l lik i i i li i l

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    eel like a piece o pie, get a nice slice o Pecan Pie. I you eellike cheese, buy some Gouda! Just try to control yoursel andnot eat the whole pie or an entire cheese wheel. The beauty isthat you can kiss those protein to carb to at ratios goodbye orthis meal. Enjoy the reedom!

    Why am I always bloated ater cheat meals?

    You are bloated because you ate a lot o ood andprobably knocked back a ew Diet Cokes as well! To alleviatesome o the bloat, limit fuid intake around the cheat meal.However, since the bloat will subside in 72 hours or so, justenjoy the meal and deal with it unless o course, you have totake your shirt o in the upcoming days!

    What should I eat beore a cheat meal i I know it is going tohappen?

    Just eat you regularly scheduled meals and then roll intothe cheat meal as a replacement or one o your scheduledmeals.

    What about ater the cheat? Should I not eat?

    E h d l d l h h l I

  • 8/14/2019 Lifestyle Cut Diet

    88/107

    Eat your next scheduled meal ater the cheat meal. I tooull to do this, simply skip the meal (try not to do this) or eat aportion o your next scheduled meal.

    What i about ater that?

    I you eel you went overboard on the cheat meal, thenadd ve to ten minutes o cardio to the next two to threecardio sessions. I the day ater the cheat meal is an o dayrom weight training, you can go to the gym on the o day or20 to 30 minutes o cardio.

    Although we put a lot o eort into looking the way wedo, it is always nice to be able to be normal once in a while.Unless you are on a Showtime Cut Diet and cheating is notan option, live a little! Take your spouse or date out to RedLobster and eat up some shrimp! Heck, get some oysters andget your reak on!
