Now on to the Clean Eating Plan

Foundations

People these days have so much trouble and are so out of touch with what they
should eat, it drives them to despair, and with good reason. There is so much info
out there to dig through; trying to come up with a clear idea of what to eat is enough
to drive anyone crazy.

So hopefully this eating clean plan will help clear some things up and get you on the
way to the body you’d really love to have.

Before we get to the diet plan there are some more things you’re going to need to do
to make sure you make the most of this plan:

 Get a Food Dairy (just a note book or a regular diary) and record all the things
you eat and have been eating, you’ll be surprised
 Plan to shop at least 1-2 times per week (so you can get fresh food)
 Try and find an organic butcher or at least grass fed meats
 Plan your week’s worth of meals 7 days in advance
 Make sure you get plenty of sleep and be asleep by 10.30pm every night
 If you’re not already exercising, start now it is a must.

Don’t worry if things aren’t perfect the first week it will take a bit of time to really
change your routine. Your food diary will help notice patterns and areas where you’re
having trouble with.

Page 3
The Back 2 Basics Clean Eating Plan

So long as you use the right foods you should be ok.

This Plan is broken down to include:


 A shopping list with pictures so you know what to look for, I use Woolworths
mostly but Coles has everything as well
 And then the day by day meal plans
 Individual Recipes to help you cook and prepare the individual meals
 And the seasonal fruit and veg chart to help pick the best food through the
year

Ok so you’ve got everything ready to go; now some clean eating rules:
 Avoid gluten (unless you can tolerate)
 Avoid dairy (unless you can tolerate)
 Drink either Evian, Fiji, or other high quality water daily (or at least filtered)
 Drink at least 1-1.5 litters of water everyday
 Avoid Sugar from processed foods (not fruit) and DO NOT FEAR FAT
 Eat smaller more regular meals
 Don’t eat a massive dinner
 If it’s more dead than you, don’t eat it (long shelf life, processed, refined
foods)
 Organic and fresh food is king, (chemical and pesticide free)
 Avoid processed foods, additives, chemicals and preservatives (they’re bad)
 Read food labels, if in doubt avoid it. Or Google it.

We recommend you make it first like normal then adjust your portions less or more
depending on how you feel

shopping throughout the year.

Buying seasonal fruits and veg is more sustainable for farmers and seasonal fruit

Some Tips for Grocery Shopping

As you can see from the shopping list this plan is 99% dairy and gluten free and
everything is fresh and healthy with minimal processing and chemicals.

90% of the shopping is done in the fruit and veg section and the meat section.
No need to venture down the chocolate aisle or the soft drink aisle and pick up
something naughty.

It may seem like a lot of food but remember it’s for the whole 7 days! And not
everything will need to be bought every week like the nuts for example will take 2-3
weeks to get through.

Each week you’ll just need to top up of the fresh fruit and vegies and the meats.

You can also freeze the meat you don’t use for later use.

When you’re at the shop

Page
39
The Back 2 Basics Clean Eating Plan

 Always, always have your shopping list that way you only get what you
need, no sneaky snacks.
 Get in and get out, like a special forces ninja your shopping experience
should be quick and no messing around because if you in there to long
temptation might get the better of you.
 If you can, shop online that way you’ll be sure to stick to the list and you
don’t have to worry about battling for a car park at your local store.
 Shop at the same store, once you know where everything is you’ll be able to
see when the freshest stock comes out instead of the stuff that's been sitting
around (I know because I worked at Coles).
 If you can’t afford the organic brands go for the free range and keep your
eyes open for specials, sometimes the free range and organic items are
cheaper than the regular stuff!
 If you can leave your partner and/or kids at home so you can focus.
 Know you aisles, if you need to venture into the forbidden zone you want go
straight to what you need. Don’t stop and check out the cookies.

When you get home


 Put all the food on the bench and sort it into groups, vegies, meat etc and
start to visualise what you’re going to eat for the next week so you know how
much food you have.
 If you have vegetable and meat containers like the Tupperware ones put them
into the containers to keep them fresher for longer.
 Have place in the fridge and pantry for each item so you know what you have
and how much is left at anytime.

Additional tips
 If you’ve got little snack containers use them to put your nuts in so you
have an “off the shelf” snack ready to go.
 If you’ve got lunch containers always have them ready to store leftovers in
the fridge or freeze for emergency meals.
 Write your menu up of a sheet of paper or a white board that way you will
start to get into a routine and not have to think about it as much.
 You can make your base salads and leave them in the fridge and when
you’re ready to eat them just add your protein and maybe some avocado
and you’re good to go.
 If something needs to be used in the fridge use it, switch days of the meal
plan or change the meals around so you can use everything in the fridge
DO NOT WASTE THE FOOD.
 If you haven’t got the basics for cooking go and get them; slow cooker,
non stick pan, baking dish, a good knife, a vegetable peeler, a Y peelers
for shedding carrot and cucumbers, tongs etc.
 Make breakfast a habit and if you have got limited time in the morning
make breakfast the night before.
 Always have some nuts, fruit, tin of salmon or tuna with you so you can
have an emergency food supply so you don’t skip meals.

The Back 2 Basics Clean Eating Plan

 Try and eat every 3 hours. This helps keep you full and maintain your
energy through the day.
 Drink plenty of water, Evian is best or filter tap water through a Brita jug is
the next best thing.
 Go for organics as much as possible.
 Grass fed meat is a must (the cows are much happier and healthy).
 Allow yourself a treat once per week, otherwise stay strong and avoid
temptation.
 If you fall off the diet get back on and don’t stress about it.

Fail to PLAN, PLAN to Fail


The More Prepared you are the Better

WHILE FOLLOWING THE PLAN

So if you made it this far congratulations. You’re in the top 10% of people who are
more likely to achieve their goal.

Hopefully you’ve been following the plan and made some changes, one key thing to
keep in mind with any diet is how you feel.

One of 3 things will happen:

You will feel worse


Or
You will feel the same
Or
You will feel better

The problem is people’s base diets are so all over the place they don’t know what
makes them feel good and what makes them feel bad.

It’s so hard to pinpoint, but if you eat the same thing for a month you will clearly see
if you feel worse better or the same.

Clean eating will take you 80% of the way to your fitness goals, probably 90% in
some cases. The rest is just fine tuning, more of some foods less of others and so
on.

So remember to track how you feel each day in your food diary and if you notice any
changes write it down and then you can do some investigating to improve your diet
and your overall well being.

This clean eating plan will help you get on the path to a healthy body and increased
fitness.

Keep reading to discover how the 8 week clean eating challenge is helping people realize there
goals and create a lifestyle that they love.

Imagine The Change Of A Lifetime Could


Be Only 8 Weeks Away...
This might be the first time you’ve met me so I want to quickly introduce myself and let you know
a bit more about me and why I think this 8 week clean eating challenge is for you.

I’ll give you the short version, I am personal trainer and weight loss coach and have been for
about 6 years now. Before that I was involved in all manner of sport and have always had an
interest in creating the best possible healthy lifestyle for me.

And not to toot my own horn, I got pretty good at it. And naturally I though why not make this my
fulltime job… helping people melt fat and rediscover their own healthy lifestyles.

See I’m not your average health and fitness guru; I don’t wear skimpy outfits or appear on TV.
I’m just a somewhat regular guy that found this knack of helping people achieve seemingly
impossible results in the real world, with real world people.

Page

The Back 2 Basics Clean Eating Plan

After all, we all live in the real world so our approach to weight loss and improving our health
needs to be real world too.

Well, that’s what I think anyway.

Over that time I have seen just about every diet you could think of. My clients would tell me
stories about the various plans they tried and how they always seemed to miss the mark when it
came to getting the results they desired.

And it got me thinking, You see not to brag or anything but I noticed my clients after working with
them for only a few weeks started to get pretty good results.

Not just weight loss results on the scales, they seemed happier, more confident and a lot more
content with themselves, It’s such a great feeling to see the changes in people and it’s an even
greater feeling knowing I have help arm them with the tools and strategies they need to maintain
the results they have achieved.

Even other trainers and members at the gym started to ask me what I was doing, and started to
take notice to get these kind of results. And just told them I teach my clients the basics.

Of course there is a bit more to it than that as you can imagine because everyone is different. But
the fundamentals I taught boiled down to doing the basic well and doing them consistently over
and over.

So after I realized I had some good stuff and it was working, I decided to put into a free plan I
would give away and try and help as many people as possible.

And to my absolute surprise it took off. To date there have been over 80,000 people from all over
the world download my free plan and start changing their lives.

Now you are one of them too, and I thank you for giving my free plan a try.

I get emails all the time from people telling me about their results and how their lives have
changed from using what I teach in my free 7 day clean eating plan.

Now don't fret that free plan will be on the way to your email address real soon so sit tight.

But seeing as you are the kind of person who takes action and has the desire to change your life
but maybe not the knowledge, that’s where I come in and where my 8 week clean eating

challenge will help you get to that next level, or if your just starting out give you the best possible
start.

What Is The 8 Week Challenge And How


Can It Help Me?
The 8 week challenge was really born out of the great results my clients were getting working
one on one with me. And my wanting to help reach more people and change their lives. I felt like
I had a duty to get what I knew out there and make it affordable at the same time.

Not everybody can afford expensive personal training, and not all the so called experts are
accessible you can’t get access from the source.

That’s where my program is different; I am in there every day talking to people inside my
community. I’m accessible, and approachable, so when you ask a question I’ll be there to help
guide you. Inside our tight knit community the other members actually help step up and motivate
and educate each other aswell.

Together, everybody achieves more.

The challenge is for 8 weeks and its focused primarily of the foundations of clean eating and
mindset, the two most fundamental pillars of success.

You get access to create your very own Individual meal plan, and track your results through our
online program.

You also get to study the mindset lessons, exercise videos and other educational material we
have inside the member’s area.

It’s all there for you to create lasting change and get the results you desire. Plus as I mention
before you get to be part of the community and get access to me to answer your questions, and
help keep you motivated along the way.

feels so different, this is a Lifestyle change not a Diet and I am really enjoying the
food and how I feel, the best part is how simple it is to do around working, being a
wife and a busy Mum to a 3 year old and 4 mth old! Looking forward to my results for
the next month"
Krystle H

I think you are doing a great thing. This is a very good eating plan. I lost weight
(23kg) before with Weight Watchers (before they were bought by Nestle and have
gone completely away from clean healthy eating). I kept the weight off for ten years,
until difficult circumstances and emotional stress started a comfort eating habit. Now
I am back to clean eating (not Weight Watchers but a strict detox eating plan), and
feel so much better for it. I have lost the weight, but still have to fight the voice in my
head that tells me to just indulge myself and eat whatever I want. Thank you for
providing this great eating plan to people for free. You are a good man and this is a
great mission.
