What is the best diet for you to follow, a high protein one, smoothies shakes and juices, a high carbohydrate diet or a balanced diet….
What is a balanced diet and who is it balanced for? Is a balance diet the same for an Eskimo as it is for a Tropical Rain Forest Indian?
There is so much information out there and so much of it conflicting. To really find the right diet for your genetics you need to do a metabolic typing test which we can run for you (£50), but you can start right away by using the information we have given you in the previous post and combine it with the information in this one.
Below you will find a table with different types of diets in. The first day is a carbohydrate diet, the second a balanced diet and the third a higher fat diet.
Using the daily check record (DCR) sheets that we provided in the previous article and using this meal plan you should be able to determine which food plan makes you feel and perform at your best and therefore how to balance your diet for optimum results.
In the table you will find a 3 day meal plan for each diet type. Eat to a specific type for the 3 days keeping a DCR for meal so that you can determine which is the right style of eating plan for you.

slimming shakes. These are often cleverly disguised junk foods. Yes they are fast and they are convenient but they are nutritionally deficient and are more likely to stimulate you storage mechanisms increasing the about of fat you store around your belly. Remember the diet and food industry only have one agenda…… MAXAMISED PROFITS!
2. I have said it before and I’ll say it again Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups will not flatten you belly or give you that allusive six pack. They are more likely to give you a
better for your weight loss goals and not have to commit the time that long runs or walk require. How would you like to double or triple your results and only train 30 to 40 mins. In fact the right 20 mins is more effective at burning fat then a 5k run if you do it right. The 
5. Low calorie diets! Do they work, well some do and some don’t but generally let’s say yes, you will lose weight on a low calorie diet. But is it the long term answer to your weight problem? I’m going to have to give you the painful truth and say……………………… No, No it’s not. I think that I going to do a whole blog post on this in the near future so I’ll save the low calorie rant for then. Many of our client’s have been on low calorie diets and yet they have still ended up at our door!
Who do you think has the lower body fat Percentage….A marathon runner or a sprinter?
