STEP 1 - Lean Protein and Complex Carbohydrates
for Breakfast and Dinner
Humans love beginnings and
endings, the in between is
hard to remember. Human
psychology is to make you
forget about the middle and
it taps into eating here.
Maybe you will see the
connection here maybe not but
I think this principle will
benefit you greatly... It is
easiest to force yourself to
eat lean protein and complex
carbohydrates for the first
meal of the day because your
willpower is often highest
in the morning.
"Today I am going to do
well on this diet," says
Jill. Many start off strong
like Jill but by lunch
their willpower has
evaporated. Many, huh that
was me before I started
implementing this tactic.

My Personal Method - To share my personal protocol I must first explain intermittent fasting.
Most fasting calls for excessive lengths of not eating. The theory here is that you burn more fat
during this time. However, such excessive things are hard for me to stick with. On the other
hand, I do a daily 12 hour fast where afterwards my first meal of the day is complex
carbohydrates and lean protein with a few exceptions. One exception is that I will eat a piece
of fruit immediately after a morning workout in order to maintain blood sugar levels and increase
serotonin - another hormone closely tied to the regulation of weight loss.
I dont like to think of fasting like I am burning calories because I am hungry. Instead, I find it
more beneficial to think of fasting as a delaying food tactic. Consider my calories burned picture:
Interesting Fact
New studies have
revealed that 80%
of fat is actually
exhaled through the
lungs by breathing.
Its complicated! If you burn more calories going out you have to deal with
the calories coming in

I try to eat apples, bananas and oranges An apple or two 20 minutes before lunch to boost serotonin.
A banana or two here and there for a dopamine boost. An orange at night to boost GABA. I really do not
think about it too much I just add apples, bananas and oranges to my diet.

Why do you keep overeating in certain situations? Why is your overall calorie intake so high?
Become a detective by putting pen to paper and find out why you keep overeating at certain points
durng the day. Seek to eliminate these specific triggers by planning ahead. Is it stress? Is it a
family event? Is it a social dinner? What times do you normally overeat?
This, in and of itself wont really allow you to change nine time out of ten but knowing and
researching your specific issues can lead to a solution later on down the road. As an example,
you cant just say, Oh yeah I drink too much. Well, are you drinking because you are stressed?
If you are stressed, why is it? Good, you know what it is now - so can you remove that particular
stress from your life? If not, can you try to turn to a holistic method like stress relief tea to
help you out?
So many questions when figuring out your triggers but once you investigate it, you will uncover
some interesting stuff...
