People often ask us: am I allowed to eat less than is specified in my nutrition plan?
The answer is No!
The amounts of protein and carbohydrates specified in your plan is carefully calculated to create the right conditions to boost your metabolism aka “fire” in the body. This “fire” is essential – and only if the right amount is consumed the excess fat can be burnt. If a meal is skipped completely or not enough eaten, in simple terms there is no or only a small “fire” and so only a little or no fat can be “burnt”. It’s also important to note, when we metabolize proteins, amino acids are produced. These must be balanced by the right proportion of carbohydrates to make sure that they are properly cleared from the body and do not have any negative effects. Thus, as Rule 1 says: don’t eat more, don’t eat less and don’t eat anything that’s not listed on your personal food list.
