Various Meal Plans to Choose From
VEGAN LIFESTYLE
55% CARBS, 25% PROTEIN & 20% FAT
Calorie ranges available are 1300 thru 1900 / 55% carbs, 25% protein & 20% fat.
These menus are for the strict vegetarian or vegan.
They include NO animal products. These menus ensure over 800 milligrams of calcium per day, a mineral that is hard to get for vegans. They also contain plenty of fiber and at least 72% of the RDI for Iron for the week’s average.
The higher calorie levels contain all of the recommended Iron for the day. These menus contain plenty of healthy soy also.
GENERAL WEIGHT LOSS
MIXED MACRONUTRIENT RATIOS
A healthy body begins with living right, eating good foods and eliminating toxins from our body.
Our vegetarian detoxification template is loaded with green vegetables, nuts, fruits, lentils, and gluten-free carbohydrates to help the body eliminate built-up toxins in the liver. The liver is the main organ focused on our detoxification process. If the liver is not functioning properly, all of the other organs such as the colon, kidneys, heart, brain, lungs, skin and hormonal systems will be less adequate. This can breakdown the body making it susceptible to many life-threatening diseases.
Our well-designed detoxification program should provide the liver the ability to rid itself of incoming toxins and flush away the stored up fat-soluble toxins, leaving you feeling more focused and clearing away the “mental fog” we find we live with on a daily basis.
VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE
65% CARBS, 15% PROTEIN & 20% FAT
Calorie ranges available are 1700 thru 2100 / 65% carbs, 15% protein & 20% fat.
The Low Fat Vegetarian template provides 7 days of meal plans each consisting of 5-6 meals each day. The macronutrient ratios average 65% carbohydrates, 15% protein and 20% fat for the seven day period. Protein sources are provided by tofu and soy products, beans, peanuts and some diary in the form of cheese and milk (no eggs).
This template may be somewhat limited in variety but has been clinically proven to shed weight quickly when combined with a regular exercise routine consisting of cardiovascular exercises to burn calories and resistance exercises to maintain muscle tissue. The Low Fat Vegetarian template is very popular amongst active male and female adult to burn fat and maintain muscle.
KETOGENIC
25% CHO, 5% PRO, 70% FAT
The main difference between a regular low carb diet plan and a ketogenic diet plan is the amount of carbohydrate and protein allowed on a daily basis:
- A ketogenic diet plan requires tracking the carb amounts in the foods eaten and keeping carbohydrate intake between 20-50 grams per day. The daily protein requirement will be moderate. The balance of calories will be from fats. These ratios ensure ketosis which is the main objective of the ketogenic diet.
- The nutrient intake on a ketogenic diet typically works out to about 70-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% from protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrate on a daily basis. Since a ketogenic diet reduces hunger, most find they don't really need to get involved in calorie counting, unless one feels more comfortable tracking them.
The key to understanding a ketogenic diet plan is to remember that one is swapping out the carbs in the diet with a higher fat and a moderate protein intake. Why high fat and moderate protein? Fats have no effect on blood sugar and insulin levels. Protein does affect both blood sugar and insulin, if large quantities are consumed. If you overeat protein, about 56% of any excess protein will be converted to glucose (sugar) in the body, and that extra glucose hanging around will increase insulin, and put the brakes on the body's ability to release and burn fatty acids (go into ketosis).
