Seven-Day Size Down Program Guide |
|
|
Day 1 |
|
|
|
Get focused! This is a fast-paced program - No Slacking! |
|
|
Pre-prepare
your food. A few hours of preparation
can take you through the entire week. |
|
|
No eating
out! |
|
|
Exercise!
If you already exercise, increase the time and intensity. If not, walk about 30-45 minutes daily. |
|
|
Monitor
how you feel when you exercise. Know
your limits. If you feel dizzy, stop
immediately. |
|
|
Eat every
3 hours, starting by 7am. No skipping
meals! (5 meals/day for women / 6 meals/day for men.) |
|
Day 2 |
|
|
|
Reduce
processed carbs, fruit, juices, and fats. Only eat natural carbs like
oatmeal, rice, and potatoes. |
|
|
Reduce
your sodium intake (in cooked foods as well as sodium-added foods.) |
|
|
Drinks
lots of water. Eliminate protein bars,
frozen “healthy meals,” dairy foods, and boxed food. |
|
|
Increase
your exercise time. Add a few
muscle-building, fat-burning exercises, such as push-ups. |
|
|
Do not get on a scale!
A scale does not determine your results. |
|
|
Stay
motivated! This plan has provided
success to countless people for the last few decades. |
|
Day 3 |
|
|
|
If you
have to eat out, pre-order your food.
Restaurants are surprisingly accommodating. |
|
|
Monitor
your energy and hunger levels. If you
eat 5-6 meals per day and you are still hungry and tired, you may need more
protein or more carbs in each meal. |
|
|
Increase
your exercise time to at least an hour. |
|
|
Don’t
slack off. Stay focused on your
getting lean. |
|
Day 4 |
|
|
|
Stay
motivated! You're half-way done! |
|
|
Add
fibrous vegetables back into your diet.
Increase your protein. |
|
|
Eliminate
carbs from the last meal of the day only.
(This does not mean eat less
food for this meal.) |
|
|
Make sure
your overall diet for the day is still balanced. |
|
|
Increase
your exercise time, intensity, and frequency.
Take a group exercise class. Push the envelope. |
|

|
|
Stick to
your eating schedule. Don't skip
meals! Keep your meals balanced. |
