ABOUT THE MEAL PLAN



Everything you eat directly affect your brain and therefore your body. This is a one of a kind, easy-to-follow color system with pre-planned meals that contain the right amount of nutrients (and calories) for your optimal health and for you to reach your fitness goals!

RED MEALS (on red days): All red meals contain a moderate amount of protein, to make sure you receive enough building stones for your body to preserve/gain muscle mass while losing fat. The meals contain a smaller amount of fat (necessary fats). Instead, these meals contain a higher amount of Carbohydrates and a higher amount of Calories than your Green days. The Carbohydrates are found in unprocessed grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, nuts.

GREEN MEALS (on green days): All green meals contain a moderate amount of protein, to make sure you receive enough building stones for your body to preserve/ gain muscle mass while losing fat, just like on your red days. The meals also contain a higher amount of good fats, which you’ll find in foods such as nuts, seeds, avocado, some cheese, fatty fish, meat, oils etc. These meals contain less Carbohydrate and less Calories,

Day of your choice If you wish, there can be one day of your choice where you don’t have to focus on what color day it is. This day is usually good to spend with something you really love, your favorite restaurant or favorite treat. THIS IS NOT A CHEAT DAY. The idea behind cheat days might seem great. It is based on an overall strict diet throughout the week (usually calorie and carbohydrate-deficient). This means that the body can somewhat use the “extra Carbohydrates” from a cheat day. But, in the end, there’s normally a big risk that Cheat meals turns into Cheat days, making it more of a struggle for the body and mind. The risk of chocking your system during these days, increasing cravings and making it harder to get back to normal eating, makes them unsustainable in the long run. Have your favorite breakfast, may it be from the meal plan, your own favorite recipe or a restaurant. Choose whatever color lunch and dinner you feel like and don’t obsess about the number of calories today. The benefit of doing this carb cycling system is that you eat fewer calories some days and more others (preferably on training days), there will be room for your favorite meal every now and then. If you choose to eat higher carbs on this day, count it as one of the Red days and follow that day up with a Green day.

How to Split up your week (for example)

6 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

There are a few different factors to consider when it comes to deciding how many days per week to eat RED meals and how many days to eat GREEN meals. Our general recommendation is 3 Red days per week and 4 Green days. Carb cycling and listening to your body will bring you your desired results! See different factors below for further consideration.

EAT ACCORDING TO YOUR TRAINING If you train heavy, several days a week, more RED DAYS are recommended than if you train less often. A few rules: Perform strength training/heavier training on your RED DAYS. This is because your muscles get depleted of glucose during heavy training and need a refill afterward. You might have heard that your body “handles” carbohydrates better after training, well this is the reason. Do cardio on your GREEN DAYS (or have a rest day). On GREEN DAYS you will consume fewer carbs and calories than on RED DAYS. During long-duration Cardio training (brisk walks/tennis/dancing/light jogs) you tend to burn fat as the primary source. To increase fat burning, perform steady state cardio on GREEN DAYS, when your body is already low on carbohydrates, so that your body more easily uses stored fat as energy.

3 Red days 4 Green days

7 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

WHAT’S YOUR BODY TYPE? Another factor that helps determine how much Carbohydrates you should eat is your body type. There are 3 main body types (and then mixtures of these).

Ectomorph Usually thinner limbs, skinny, less muscular. This body type usually have a fast metabolism and a harder time gaining weight. If you recognize yourself in this body type, your body can handle more Carbs and you most likely need more carbs too (because you burn it off so quickly). If you choose to follow this guideline, try having 3-5 RED DAYS (Higher Carbohydrate days per week) and see what works best for your mind and body.

Mesomorph Usually more muscular and gain muscle mass easily, “athletic looking”. This body type can usually gain and lose fat relatively quick. f this is more like your body type, you’re somewhere in between the spectrum of handling carbs well or poorly. You may need it (especially post workouts) but too much makes it harder for the body to handle. If you choose to follow this guideline, try having 2-4 RED DAYS (Higher Carbohydrate days per week) and see what works best for your mind and body.

Endomorph More curvy/softer/bigger bone structure and tend to store fat more easily. If you’re more like this body type, your body has a harder time to handle and burn off carbohydrates (generally includes a slower metabolism) and they will more likely be stored as fat. If you choose to follow this guideline, try having 2-3 RED DAYS (Higher Carbohydrate days per week) and see what works best for your mind and body.

Once again, since they are all in a similar spectrum, start with the 3 RED DAYS and 4 GREEN DAYS, check your results from 4 weeks and then alter your days accordingly.

Add your own meals to the plan and make the carb cycling system work for you, forever. What you will notice, with time, is that the color system is easy to learn. It follows a pattern, where certain foods (high in fats) and certain foods (high in carbs) make the majority of the meals. This way, you can create your own meals and place them into RED or GREEN meals. As long as you make sure to eat some protein with each meal, a mixture of vegetables, complex carbohydrates (more or less depending on body type/training/day) and eat fruit and berries only on RED days, you will keep Carb cycling and be healthier and therefore your body will change accordingly. This way you can keep using the system for however long you like, and continue reaching new goals with it!

Individual Nutrition Nutrition is something very individual since there are thousands of chemical reactions going on in our bodies, and there is no way that we all would react the same to food. Some bodies will react strongly by eating a carrot, spiking their blood glucose. While other people have a higher spike by eating rice or potatoes. There won’t be one way that works for everyone, BUT, there are common denominators that we have proven works (with this nutrition program). Studies have been shown that it is generally important to receive a varied and balanced intake of nutrients, eating as much whole foods as possible, and making sure to get diverse vitamins and minerals. Eating clean food will make both our guts and our minds happy (which will improve our chances of reaching a body physique that we wish for). We believe that this nutrition plan has taken all of those things into consideration, while challenging your body to improve your metabolism (ie. increase your fat burning abilities). This nutrition program is created to help YOU reach your body-, fitness- and health goals.

Another important note, that we recommend everyone to do (the sooner the better), is to take a blood test to figure out your personal food sensitivities. Depending on your current diet and the food you ate as a child, your gut might have developed sensitives against certain food types. The most common ones are gluten, dairy and egg. You most likely won’t know your personal ones for sure, until you’ve gotten it tested. Another way to figure it out is to eliminate one food group at a time. Notice and write down what times you feel bloated or uncomfortable, and after a week of taking notes, start to remove one food group at a time. Go for a few days without dairy, and now write down how you react and feel after each meal. Then try a few days without gluten (while still being off the dairy), a few days without egg (while still being off the dairy and gluten) and so on. Then slowly introduce each food group (one at a time) to see what your body reacts to. This way you’ll figure out what doesn’t quite work for your body. The importance of going to the bottom of your gut health, has a lot to do with you being able to reach your goals! A constant irritable gut will both weaken your immune system and make it harder for your body to burn fat (it can affect your metabolism + the amount of energy you burn). We have experienced, that by eliminating irritating foods and focusing on healing our guts, our physiques have greatly improved in it’s fat burning abilities. 11 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Vegan, Vegetarian & Food Sensitivities There’s a saying - “The best diet is the consistent one” and this is very true. In the end, it most likely won’t matter too much if you choose to be a vegetarian, vegan, meat-eater or pescatarian. The fact is, that once we become conscious about our food choices (which you clearly are since you invested in this nutrition program), they will drastically improve. You start to care about where your food comes from, how it’s cooked and how it makes you feel. These improved choices will, WITH CONSISTENCY, lead you to your goals. You will find both VEGAN and VEGETARIAN meals in this nutrition program, and here are some additional options/substitutes. No matter if you’re a vegan, vegetarian or have certain food sensitivities, there are plenty of great alternatives in todays grocery stores! Dairy —> Almond milk, Oat milk, Hemp Milk, Flax Milk, Vegan cheese Meat/Fish/Egg (Good Protein) —> Tofu (Scrambled tofu for breakfast for ex.), tempeh, beans (kidney beans, chickpeas, green peas, edamame, pinto beans etc), vegan alternatives of meat (make sure they don’t contain added sugar), mushrooms, quinoa, broccoli, seitan (contains gluten), nuts, jackfruit. Eggs in recipes —> Chia seeds and water (1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg). Don’t consume more than 1-2 tablespoons of Chia seeds per day Gluten (a protein composite in wheat, rye, gains, barley) —> Vegan protein powder, chopped nuts, potatoes/cauliflower, almond/coconut flour, gluten free pasta, rice cakes, rice, buckwheat, quinoa, flaxseeds, vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, oil, egg, meat, fish 12 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Portion size guidelines These guidelines are calculated according to your weight and goals of losing fat, getting fit and healthier! We suggest that you workout 3-4 times per week (which is included in the following Calculations). You will find additional guidelines below, in case you train more than 3-4 times per week and/or if you wish to gain weight. Simply choose your Weight Bracket below and follow the Portion size guidelines for Red vs Green days.

IF YOU WISH TO GAIN WEIGHT (you are under-weight AND/OR primarily aim to gain muscle mass), FOLLOW THE SECOND GROUP ABOVE YOUR WEIGHT GROUP.

• IF YOU TRAIN MORE THAN 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK, FOLLOW THE GROUP ABOVE YOUR WEIGHT GROUP, FOR EVERY 1-2 EXTRA TRAINING SESSION PER WEEK. Most importantly, try what works for you! With these guidelines, recipes and this way of eating, you will get results. If you lose fat quickly and wish to gain muscle, follow the Guidelines above your weight group. After a while, you might have lost weight and therefore need to eat from another weight group. Or you’ll gain weight because you’ve gained lean muscle mass while training (muscles weighs more than fat!) and you have to eat more. Or, you’re at the higher or lower end of the 10 kilo-spectrum and need to eat from the Weight group below or above yours. It’s up to you to try and see what works the BEST FOR YOU. Trust the process of eating well and you’ll see and feel amazing differences.

All about Carb Cycling While counting your macros (a common used method for weight loss) can lead to great results, it can also be mentally draining and take the fun out of eating/training/living. As much as you’re supposed to eat to provide your body with great nutrients, you should also enjoy eating (at least when making a sustainable change, which is the goal!). Carb cycling simply means that you will eat more Carbohydrates (and calories) on certain days of the week, and fewer carbohydrates (and calories) on other days of the week (Cycling the intake of Carbohydrates). The system that comes with this nutrition program is built so that you can easily choose the meals you prefer, based on a certain color. You have Red Days (High Carbohydrate/ low-fat days) and Green days (Higher fat/low carbohydrate days). This way, you simply choose your favorite meals of the color of your day, and plan your week accordingly.

We’ve experienced that Carb Cycling is a great way to speed up our metabolism! 62 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Why? Carbohydrates is the main energy source for our brains, blood cells and the most efficient fuel for our muscles. But when we eat Carbohydrates, the body can only store so much. Some are used as energy straight away, some are stored in muscle tissue, some in the liver and what doesn’t fit in there will then be stored as body fat. When you keep eating carbs day after day, you risk spilling over the carb storage in your muscle tissue. This is why Carb cycling is so amazing! Since our goal as humans is to be healthy, to feel strong, to be fit, to lose fat, to gain muscle, all of the above, we can manipulate our system to optimize this to happen. We need to manipulate our glycogen and increase the function of our fat burning hormones. When we Cycle our Carbohydrates, the body gets some time off the carbs, emptying our stores, getting a chance to burn more fat as fuel and it keeps the body guessing! Simply eating a low carbohydrate diet, is not only boring but eventually, it may slow down/block your fat loss (the body may slow down its metabolism), which is why we then increase our Carb intake to kick it going again!

63 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Homeostasis and Carb cycling The body has an internal constant process called Homeostasis. This is an internal state where the body works to keep the body stable and functioning properly (if you’re hot, the body sweats to cool it down. If you’re cold, your body shivers to make it warm. These are both reactions of the Homeostasis process). The trick is to manipulate your homeostasis. What the Carb cycling does, is manipulate your body, since it keeps the body guessing of what kind of nutrients and calories it will receive. A higher carb intake will generate a certain hormonal response, which may cause your body to speed up its metabolism since on these days (the Red days) you will receive higher carbs and higher calories. Whereas on Green days your body will easier access your stored Fat for energy (fat burning). Your body quickly gets used to what it receives on a regular basis. It gets used to the same exercise (which makes it less effective with time) and it gets used to burning the same amount of calories if you continuously eat the same types and amount of foods. Instead, you keep changing your calorie and carb-intake throughout the week so that your body always has to work a bit extra (burn more calories) because of the variation.

After years of trying different diets and ways of eating, Carb cycling is to us, the ultimate way of being able to eat what we enjoy while still getting in greater shape. This way we’ve created a long-term, sustainable way of eating healthy and reaching our individual goals.

We all hear many different tales, tips, tricks and cures to getting fit and healthy. This section is for you who want to know how different foods affect you, what macros and micros are and where to find the “good foods" to become fit from the inside out. There is tons of more to learn if you are interested in the subject, and in this section you will get the basics of nutrition and our bodies.

What are “macros” Macros are short-term for Macronutrients. Macronutrients are the “big” nutrients (chemical compounds needed in larger amounts) that take up the largest space in our diet. The three macronutrients are Carbohydrates, Fat and Protein. All of these are important in a healthy diet for your metabolism, as energy supply, for growth etc. They work differently in the body and different body types handle the macronutrients differently (which is why some people can eat more of certain things and not gain weight, in comparison to someone else who gains weight simply “by looking at a Donut”). Most importantly, the ability to handle these nutrients are determined by WHAT WE EAT. If you have a diet rich in micronutrients (see next chapter) and give your body a sufficient supply of vitamins and minerals, your body will function so much better! All food we eat sends signals to our brain, to our cells, to all systems in our body to react and work in a certain way and it could be the difference between losing stubborn fat, get Type 2 Diabetes, dodge the “winter cold” or not. The matter of fact, proper nutrition helps with so much more than I ever thought was possible. 66 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Protein The building block of all proteins is called amino acids, which are made of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon (and in some proteins Sulfur). Protein is chains of amino acids that work as building blocks for our muscles, tendons, hair, skin, bones, teeth, organs. Protein exists in every cell and it is vital for a functioning body. They create antibodies for our immune system (to protect us from various deceases), helps create hormones (for fertility, muscle mass growth, mood). Enzymes are also proteins that help the chemical reactions in the body (necessary for breathing, digestion, metabolism, nervous system functions). They are clearly a vital part of our bodies and our diet! Apart from water, Protein is the most common substance in our bodies and it exists in each and every cell. Our bodies create the protein with the help of our dietary protein intake, which is why it is important to get an adequate amount of protein in our diet. This is especially true as a kid when the body develops more protein tissue as its growing. If you consume more protein than your body needs and eat sufficiently of carbohydrates and fats, the protein will become part of the fat cell (which is why too much protein isn’t necessary either). Aim for an adequate amount to the lifestyle that you live! Which means, if you want to build muscle mass, you should eat some extra protein. (This meal plan provides you with all the protein you need, and there are always Protein Smoothies or Protein Snacks to sneak in for a larger Protein intake when needed).

67

Sources of protein You find protein in fish, egg, meat, chicken, beans, nuts, seeds, dairy products, tofu (soy products), protein powders, black rice, quinoa, some fruit, vegetables (smaller amount). It’s important to have a varied diet for the health of your body and brain. By rotating your protein sources you will keep your enzyme pathways unspoiled, you’ll receive different brain messengers which can help your mood stabilize. The fact is, amino acids exist of the precursors to neurotransmitters (the messengers that carry signals between neurons in our brains). This way our protein intake affects our mood, our sleep, our abilities to stay attentive and it can help regulate our weight.

Protein Supplements When it comes to protein supplements (which may be necessary if you’re on a plant-based diet, and if not, you can receive your required protein from whole food sources). Either way, if you’re looking to build muscle/are unsure of if you're getting enough protein in your diet/ if you’re drinking the smoothies in this meal plan (which you should!), a protein powder can be a great supplement. There are both complete and incomplete protein powders. This simply means that the complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids that our bodies don’t produce itself (which is a great quality of a protein). The incomplete protein usually contains some of the amino acids, but not all of them. The same goes for protein Concentrate and protein Isolate. The concentrated protein usually contains a higher amount of fats and carbohydrates, whereas the isolated protein powder contains a higher amount of protein which leaves less room for fats and carbohydrates.

68

(If you’re looking to gain weight and/or if you have an intense training schedule, a Concentrated protein with more Carbs may be the right choice). Otherwise, a protein with as little artificial sweeteners and chemicals as possible is the best choice.

Whey protein is made during the process of turning milk into cheese. Whey is a great choice if you’re not sensitive to lactose (the sugar found in milk) since it’s quickly absorbed by the body, helps lean muscle growth and exists to a large percent as complete proteins. But, an over-consumption of Whey protein can create digestion problems (since lactose has a tendency to increase the risk of inflammation in the gut) and can increase gas. In addition, they usually contain a larger amount of artificial sweeteners to create a more pleasant taste. Egg protein is a complete protein derived from dehydrating the egg white (becomes powder form). Egg proteins are also normally high in vitamins and minerals, but its rarer on the market because of the production cost. Casein protein is similar to Whey protein in terms of its characteristics. There's a risk of allergic reactions since its derived from Milk. The difference between Casein and Whey is the time of absorption f the body, where Casein is a slowly absorbed protein and Whey is a quickly absorbed one (making Whey the better choice after a workout). Vegan/Vegetarian options Pea protein is another plant-based alternative, usually without any added sweeteners (therefore usually without any taste). Pea protein is a good choice if your allergic or gut sensitive, but its usually incomplete, missing some amino acids. 69 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Hemp protein is derived from the seeds of Hemp (cannabis) plants. Its rich in essential fatty acids, its plant-based and usually easily digested. (Because its production it’s usually more expensive than other proteins). Soy protein is derived from the soybeans during the process of making soybeans into soy flour. It also contains all of the essential amino acids, which is great. But, there could be a downside in Soy products effect on female hormones, (Soy contains Isoflavones that can interact with estrogen receptors and potentially make it harder to lose wight), which makes me think twice before eating too much Soy Products.

Fats Fat is made of molecules called triglycerides (which contains 3 fatty acid chains and one glycerol unit), existing by themselves or attached together. Dietary fat is important for our immune system, hormones, cell membranes, brain tissue, for absorbing vitamins and nutrients, and they work as building blocks and messengers in our bodies. The fatty acid chains are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Depending on how the atoms are connected (via single bonds or double bonds) the fat will either be saturated or unsaturated.

Saturated & Unsaturated fats Fat is split into 2 Categories (plus sub-categories) known as Saturated and Unsaturated fats (monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and trans fat). You might have heard of the different fats as “bad” and “good” fats, but there is more to it than that! 70 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Saturated fats are great in moderation. They are solid at room temperature and they have a high melting point such as fatty beef, cheese, pork, whole milk, coconut oil, eggs, and butter. Consuming too many saturated fats can lead to an increase of LDL cholesterol (which is a cholesterol that our bodies produce enough itself) which could lead to health risks. Unsaturated fats are either connected with a “Cis”-configuration or a “trans”-configuration within the Carbon bonds. The healthy part of Unsaturated fats is connected with the Cis-configuration. The Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are both made with the Cis-configuration and are known to increase the levels of good cholesterol, called HDL. Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and have a low melting point. You find them in foods such as Olive oil, canola oil, sesame oil, avocado, nuts (macadamia, hazel, pecans, almonds, Brazil, peanuts, pine nuts, walnuts, pistachios), seeds, nut butter, peanut oil, canola oil, some red meat. Monounsaturated fats are known to be great for our health with gut health, liver protection, reduced risk of cancer, decrease off inflammation, bone health, immune system function etc. Polyunsaturated fats are the other part of the healthiest fats. It is liquid at room temperature and turns solid when chilled. Polyunsaturated fats are essential to our diet since our bodies cant make them. Two main polyunsaturated fatty acids are Omega-3 and 6. You find them in fish (Trout, salmon, herring, mackerel, tuna), Nuts and seeds (flax, chia, sesame, walnuts, sunflower), oils (flax, corn, soybean, sunflower), tofu, soybeans.

71 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Trans fats are solid at room temperature and they have a high melting point. Naturally occurring trans fats are alright in moderation. You can find these in different types of meat and milk products. It’s the manmade trans fat that is dangerous to our health. Artificial trans fat is formed through a process called hydrogenation (when liquid oil is turned into solid form by adding hydrogen atoms). This process is done to increase the flavor of foods and to increase their sustainability. It is this type of fat that you have heard will clog your arteries, create heart disease. increase cholesterol levels and damage blood vessels. You find trans fat in fast food, fried food, margarine, some baked food, frozen fast food (such as pizza), certain packaged food (any package that says “partially hydrogenated” contains trans fat) and when restaurants use cheaper oils for their cooking. Omega-acids I am sure you have heard of Omega-3 and Omega-6, but there are also Omega 7 and 9. Omega-acids are essential to our diet since our bodies don’t produce these acids themselves. In a standard western diet, we consume too much Omega-6, in comparison to Omega-3s. Omega 6 can have inflammatory effects whereas Omega-3’s can have anti-inflammatory effects. This is why it's important to somewhat think about what fats you consume, to make sure you get a ratio closer to the recommended 4:1 (Omega 6: Omega 3). These Omega-acids are important for the creation and maintenance of cell membranes and you generally find them in nuts, seeds, and fatty fish (see recommended sources below).

72 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Sources of fat Generally, the best fat comes from nuts (walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, peanuts, macadamia nuts), seeds (flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds), avocado, oils (olive oil, flax oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, fish oil), fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, trout, herring, tuna), eggs and nut butters (almond butter/peanut butter). All sources should be 100% natural, unprocessed and preferably organic. When cooking it's important to use a good source of fat. The way food is cooked can highly impact the quality of your meal. Try to remove Omega 6-vegetable oils such as Canola oil, Soybean oil, and Corn oil because of its impact on our health. Instead use oils such as coconut oil or grass-fed butter (for high temperatures of cooking), olive oil/flax oil/avocado oil/organic hemp oil (for low temperatures of cooking). 
 Foods high in omega 3: Salmon, Flax, Tuna, Walnuts Fish oil, Seeds, Tofu, Spinach, Beans & lentils, Grass-fed beef, omega-3 eggs. Foods high in Omega 6: Processed vegetable oils, Fried food, Grain fed beef, Salad dressing, Nuts & seed, Pastries, Pork produce, Dairy & egg, Beef

Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the main energy source for our bodies and the gathering name for sugars, starches, and fiber. Carbohydrates are important because glucose (blood sugar) is important for fueling our brain cells (and muscles). You might have heard that carbohydrates are only bad for you. Or you didn’t even know that Sugar is a category of Carbohydrates? The matter of fact is that “Good” Carbohydrates are important in our diets to receive vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients (nutrients from plants) and it’s important to know the difference between the “good” and the “bad” carbs, to make good food choices. There are simple/empty/bad carbs and there are complex/good carbs. The simple/empty/bad carbs are the outcome of processed or Refined Carbohydrates (that become empty of vitamins and minerals in this process, read more below). The difference between these categories is in the linkage between the glucose molecules, and how the body responds to the Carbohydrate. There are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. These describe the bonds between the glucose molecules. No matter the bond, your body will break down Carbohydrates into simple sugars, but the question is in how quickly this process is. The body can either quickly release glucose into the blood which will spike your insulin levels (this happens with simple carbohydrates), or release glucose slowly into the blood, taking longer time to digest and not spike your insulin levels (which happens with complex carbs like fruits, seeds, whole grains, vegetables that contains indigestible Beta Bonds). 74 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Refined Carbohydrates Refined/processed Carbohydrates (such as sugars and refined grains) are basically empty calories (the vitamins and minerals dissolves in the process), which means that they do not offer anything else to your body than calories. No vitamins, no minerals, no fiber, good proteins or healthy fats. The high insulin response and blood sugar spikes comes first and foremost from the Refined Sugars, that acts as a “Super-Stimuli”, spiking our blood sugar, increasing a feeling of “well-being” by the secretion of serotonin and dopamine (the “happiness hormones” in our brains), but leaves us craving more to be feeling the same “release of happiness” again. Another important risk factor is the over-eating of Refined Carbohydrates. This easily happens because of the lack of vitamins and minerals, that our bodies crave but don’t receive through these empty calories. Our bodies won’t reach any satiety because of the missing nutrients. This is why Refined Carbohydrates so easily leads to obesity, overeating, heart diseases and type 2 Diabetes (caused by Insulin resistance). Refined Carbohydrates are one of the main reasons to an unhealthy gut. Our gut health determines our immune system which can either fight off disease or constantly struggle when battling gut inflammation caused by Refined carbohydrates.

GI GI stands for Glycemic index, which is a measurement based on the rise of blood sugar levels in your blood when you eat a certain food. Foods with a high Gl (such as white bread, pasta, sweets), quickly releases glucose into the blood which eventually (usually within 1-2 hours) will lead to a dip in blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels drop down, so goes your mood and attentiveness.

75 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

The issue with eating too much food with a High GI, goes back to the Processed Carbohydrates issue. You may become insulin resistant with time, your mood and brain will be affected, you can get higher blood sugar, blood pressure, it’s harder to lose weight and normally harder to sleep. On the other hand, oats, greens, and legumes give a steadier level of attentiveness since it has a lower glucose release. In knowing this, there is one reason to why you can’t determine if a food group is good or bad, simply by they GI number. There are healthy foods with a higher GI, but what happens when you eat a mixed meal of some protein, fats, and carbs, is that other foods can lower the actual blood sugar rise response in the body and the High GI-food simply doesn’t become as high.

Sources of carbohydrates The best sources of Carbohydrates are unprocessed, fiber-rich (and organic) ones. Think vegetables, root vegetables, fruit, foods with fiber; legumes: beans, lentils, seeds, nuts, oats, greens, whole grains, barley. All of these carbohydrates are great for your gut health (unless you are allergic/sensitive) and will, therefore, help you with your overall health and wellbeing. The more diverse vegetables, the better! Carbohydrates like these will increase satiety, whereas “bad/ empty/processed” carbohydrates will quickly fuel you /spike your blood sugar levels and then leave you wanting more/feeling less satisfied/creating gut inflammation. Sources of Refined Carbohydrates to stay away from are: Table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour/bread/rice, cereals, added sugars and some sweeteners, sodas, candy, pastries, processed foods.

Foods direct effect on our brain & bodies Let’s talk about the “Why’s”! You have probably heard that as long as your calorie intake is less than what you burn every day, you will lose weight. While a caloric deficiency biologically leads to weight loss (at least initially), there are many reasons to why this saying is flawed! Most of them have to do with how our bodies, its cells, and different systems respond to the foods we eat. We’ve touched on the subject when it comes to good and bad carbohydrates. But what is it that actually happens in the body? Why does the Nutritional value have such an importance? Researched has shown that it all has to do without gut health! If we eat, to promote our gut health, our hormones will be balanced too.

Hormones There are plenty of hormones in our bodies that make our bodily systems work properly. They simply determine our overall health! Small secretions of hormones regulate major behaviors and physiological processes in our bodies, such as our metabolism, our mood, our reproduction, growth and tissue function, digestion, sex drive and several different behaviors. The hormones all need to be in balance for optimal functioning (overall harmonious health!). When they’re unbalanced, several symptoms and diseases appear and can have life-altering changes in your body. Hormones directly react to the nutrients we consume. Let’s look at a few of them the major hormones in our bodies!

77 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Insulin Insulin is a hormone that prevents blood sugar levels from rising too high. It’s secreted by the pancreas, into the bloodstream, when our blood sugar levels rise (when we eat Carbohydrates specifically) and it tells our cells and muscles to convert the sugar into energy. Eating too many carbs with a quick release of insulin (simple Carbohydrates) can create something called insulin resistance (caused by chronically elevated Insulin levels), which is what causes Type 2 Diabetes, metabolic syndrome (which makes it harder to lose fat) and high blood pressure. When our levels are normal, we are Insulin sensitive (this is what we strive to be). Since all hormones are dependent on working together, a slight imbalance will create issues with other hormones. The direct effect of elevated Insulin levels is the risk of increased fat storage since the body constantly focuses on handling sugars, and fat metabolism gets set aside. Insulin resistance also leads to storing sugar as fat, since the cells struggle to uptake the sugar as fuel. With an increase of Insulin production comes an increase of fat-storage. We do not want this!

Leptin Leptin is a hormone that is directly connected to one's amount of stored body fat. The hormone controls long-term fat regulation (energy balance), making sure that you’re neither too fat, nor too skinny. Leptin gets released from our fat cells and travels in our bloodstream to the hypothalamus in our brain, telling our brains that we need to eat more or less, depending on our fat percentage. The more fat we store, the more leptin we release, the more signals are sent to our brain to slow down our appetite. The less fat we store, the less leptin we’ll release which makes our brain increase our appetite (to increase body fat percentage). This is a great regulator, as long 78 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

as it works. What happens with more fat cells though, is the risk of getting Leptin resistant. With too much leptin circulating in our blood, we may get resistant to it, which can decrease the signals to our brains. This leads to our brains not hearing the “stop eating”-signal (even though we”re overweight), but instead think that we need to eat more, increasing our appetite, making us hungrier.

Glucagon Glucagon is a hormone that gets secreted from the pancreas when our blood sugar levels get too low. Glucagon needs to work in cooperation with Insulin, to regulate our blood sugar levels (the glucose levels in our blood). Insulin keeps our blood sugar levels from getting too high, while Glucagon keeps our blood sugar levels from dropping too low. As you may have read before, excess glucose (from Carbohydrates) get stored in our livers as glycogen. Glucagon stimulates the process of turning stored glycogen (in the liver) back into glucose (a process called glycogenolysis) when blood sugar levels drop too low. It also works in a process called gluconeogenesis which is a production of glucose in amino acid molecules (from protein) and it helps break down stored fat into free fatty acids to be used as energy! So, glucagon gets released when we have a big blood sugar drop, we eat a high protein-meal and when we do intense exercise (and need more glucose).

Cortisol Cortisol is a steroid hormone that gets secreted from both the hypothalamus, the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland. Almost every cell in our bodies have cortisol receptors, therefore the Cortisol functions differently depending on what cell it reaches and it has several functions in our bodies. It helps to control inflammations, our sleep cycle (high cortisol levels in the morning to wake ourselves up, 79

lower cortisol levels throughout the day), it regulates blood pressure, our metabolism, and blood sugar levels. You may have heard of Cortisol as the “stress hormone”, which is correct since it works with controlling our stress levels, helping us in a “fight or flight” situation where it can close down certain systems to make it easier for us in a crisis situation, it increases heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose. Now that we’ve spoken about high glucose levels in the blood and how easily it can lead to several problems and hormonal imbalances, cortisol proves to be another hormone that can make it harder to lose weight (with elevated levels of glucose levels in the blood). High levels of Cortisol also contributes to increased anxiety and a disturbed sleep cycle.

Thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) The thyroid is a gland, part of the Endocrine system that produces and secretes hormones to different cells in our bodies. The Thyroid produces 2 main hormones called the T3 and T4. These hormones regulate the bodies metabolism (speed it takes to burn energy), heart rate and an imbalance in these hormones are closely related to anxiety, sleeping troubles, weight-gain/loss, mood instability, skin issues, menstrual cycle imbalances etc.

Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in our brains, that sends signals (communication) between neurons. This communication affects every system, cell, and all tissues in air bodies and it’s closely related to the endocrine (where the Thyroid is)- and the Immune system. For these signals and messengers to work properly, the brain is in need of proper nutrients. When its lacking, it can easily cause both mental and physical health issues. 80 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

3 main neurotransmitters are Serotonin, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine which are all mood-altering neurotransmitters. You may have heard of Serotonin and Dopamine as the brains “happiness chemicals”, releasing a feeling of well-being. They all work together, and perfectly with the right nutrients, to keep your mood (emotions like sadness, pain, happiness, cognition, anxiety, depression) and bodily systems stable.

Good sleep, good nutrients, and a healthy mind are to us, the most important parts of living a healthy, happy life.

What are “micros” Micronutrients are the gathered name for vitamins and minerals. Micronutrients are the smallest amount of nutrients you can find in foods, but as mentioned, the most important. They are essential for the function of our brains and bodies and the hundreds of vitamins and minerals all have important missions. They make sure that our bodies function properly, from producing proteins, keeping your metabolism high, maintaining brain health, improving the immune system, repairing DNA and antioxidants in nutrients protect the body from free radicals damage on our cells and DNA. The reason why it’s so important to eat unprocessed, (organic) foods, is because processed foods become empty (or highly reduced) from micronutrients during the process of being processed. You see, vegetables are magic! The deeper the color of a vegetable, the higher amount of phytonutrients it has (the greater they are in preventing obese and various diseases, making your metabolism high and immune system strong). Phytonutrients are nutrients coming from plants (choose unprocessed, whole foods) for best nutrients value. 81 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Vitamins and minerals So you know that Vitamins and minerals make up our “micros”. What are they exactly? Vitamins are small, organic compounds that are necessary for our bodies normal, physiological functions. Minerals are inorganic compounds, just as important as vitamins. The importance of vitamins and minerals lies within the hundreds of processes and roles that they have in our bodies (preventing diseases, creating healthy bones and teeth, produce and release energy, build proteins and cells, protect the body etc.).We only need them in small amounts, but since our bodies can’t synthesize them quickly enough on a daily basis, we need to receive them through the foods we eat. There are both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, which means that they dissolve better in lipids or water. Fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamin A, D, E & K) will be absorbed when eating dietary fats (and protein) which is partly why it's important to get our daily healthy fats. Vitamins can also be harder to receive, than minerals, because of their organic structure they can be altered by heat, air, and acid and depending on how these compounds are stored and cooked, they may become damaged. Water-soluble vitamins (Biotin B7, Folic acid B9, Niacin B3, Pantothenic acid B5, Riboflavin B2, Thiamin B1, Vitamin B6, B12 & Vitamin C) are absorbed to the bloodstream through the foods/supplements we digest.

Most minerals are essential minerals, either considered being “macro-minerals/or major minerals” (Calcium, Chloride, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium & Sulfur) meaning we need more of them (less than 100mg/day), or “micro-minerals/ or Trace minerals” (Chromium, Copper, Fluoride, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium & Zinc) meaning we need a bit less of them (less than 15g/day). The main thing to remember is that with a varied, nutritious diet, that keeps changing (maybe you eat the fruit and vegetables that are in for the season/maybe you decide to try a new vegetable per week/ maybe you make sure to eat vegetables for each and every meal). Whatever you need to do to receive a variety of micronutrients! It is always recommended to take a blood test that will show what vitamins and minerals you’re deficient in, which can greatly help you in knowing exactly what to eat more of to improve your health. Either way, you should choose high-quality food, (organic as often as possible), whole, unprocessed foods and phytonutrient rich vegetables. Food that has grown, and has not been processed into something else, will give you great vitamins and minerals.

Macro-counting When you want to improve your physique and health, macrocounting can be a great tool. This simply means that you provide your body with a certain amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, every day, to best match your body’s needs and your goals. The different body types are not just about how your body looks, but the common characteristics, metabolism, food and hormones responses that a certain body type usually has. If you wish, you have the ability to count your macros with this Meal Plan since all Carbs/Fats/Protein are displayed beneath each meal. If you choose to count, instead of following the Meal Plan, follow these guidelines:

Ectomorph An ectomorph has usually thinner limbs, smaller bone structure, and less muscle mass. Common traits are fast metabolism which means that it’s usually harder to gain weight and they have a high carbohydrate tolerance. A general recommended intake for this body type is 55% carbs, 20% fat and 25% protein. (Higher carb, lower fat)

Mesomorph A mesomorph is usually more muscularly built and has an easier time gaining lean muscle mass. Common traits are the ability to lose and gain weight relatively quickly. They look more athletic (broad shoulders). Mesomorphs usually have an easier time to keep a lower fat percentage, and they handle carbs alright (better after a workout). A general recommended intake for this body type is 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. (A balanced mixture).

84 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Endomorph An endomorph is usually bigger in terms of bone structure/body mass. They are normally curvier and tend to store fat more easily than the ectomorph. This usually means that their carbohydrate tolerance is lower and a general recommended intake is 25% carbs, 40% fat and 35% protein. (Lower carbs, higher fat).

The in-between: Your body type might very well be in between any of these three, more similar to one or another or a mixture of all! This simply shows that your body may tolerate certain Macronutrients better than others, and to lose fat/get in better shape, more or fewer carbs, fat (and protein) will be better for you.

Goals Depending on your goals and your training, it helps determine how to eat as well. If you’re looking to gain muscle mass (and your training) you may need more carbohydrates. If you’re looking to lose fat, you can consider eating fewer carbs. But, sometimes we want to do both! And sometimes it gets too much to think of when to have carbs, what foods to eat, how much to eat. Plus, eating NO carbs is simply not fun, for most people. This is where carb cycling comes in! With carb cycling, you can match your high carb days with heavier/ more intense training sessions, and your lower carb days with cardio/ rest/fat burning days.

Intermittent fasting includes having a fasted period of 12-18 hours per day. For example: Eating between 12 pm (noon) - 8 pm (16h fast) Eating between 10 am - 8 pm (14h fast) Eating between 12 pm (noon) - 6 pm (18h fast)

Whatever hours that works for you! During the 12-18 + h fasting period, you don’t consume any calories. On the other hand, you should consume plenty of water, lemon water, 1 coffee if needed (without milk, since milk contains calories). Your body will be given a chance to reset, to use stored energy, and that way increase your fat burning. During the (8 h) eating window, consume your regular intake of food. You may have to increase your portion sizes slightly to receive enough calories (simply follow the guidelines below). If you have a lot of weight to lose, Intermittent fasting will also help in teaching the body to feel when you’re actually hungry. It may slightly shrink your stomach and naturally, you’ll eat a bit less (since your eating window is restricted). Intermittent fasting has been trending lately, but it sure isn’t a new invention. Intermittent fasting goes back to the stone age where the man had to hunt for food and didn’t eat the traditional meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s proven that human beings, in a fasted state, have energy for a lot longer than we believe and alertness is even shown to increase during fasting. 87

In our Western societies we rarely give our bodies a break from food, snacks or drinks. When you stop consuming food your body goes into a catabolic state (breakdown state). When there are no Carbohydrates to fuel from (which is the primary energy source when available) our bodies will start breaking down fat molecules into free fatty acids that will be converted into energy. Yay!

There is some amazing research done on intermittent fasting, including 1. Longevity (fasting creates a protein that repairs DNA which is vital in longevity) 2. Fat burning (the depletion of glucose in the blood will increase the rate of fat stores being used as energy) 3. Increased HGH (during longer periods of fasting, our Human growth hormone increases which is great for maintaining/gaining muscle mass/ burning fat. It also works with repairing cells, collagen and strength in bones and muscles.) 4. Alertness/attentiveness (fasting increases the release of norepinephrine and fasting increases the formation of new neurons in the brain.) 5. Improved gut health (different foods increase inflammation in our gut, but the time of fasting can help the body take care of this. It also boosts our immune system.) 5. A decrease of several diseases such as heart/cardiovascular/diabetes (Fasting helps increase neurons in the brain which helps prevent brain disease)

For a long time, people thought that fasting wouldn’t work because of “the body will slow down its metabolism during fasting, when going into starvation mode”. Research have shown that the body’s RMR (resting metabolic rate, which determines 70% of all calories you burn every day) doesn’t get affected until after a minimum of 3 full days of fasting.

Training during your Fasting There is research showing that training on a fasted stomach (during intermittent fasting) can help increase fat burning. The increase of adrenaline will kickstart the breakdown of fat into energy and we shred fat. If you are new to fasting, take it one step at a time. Start by fasting in the morning and see how far you can push your breakfast. When it feels normal to simply drink water/hot lemon water/te, insert a morning walk. Eventually you might feel great doing a strength training session during your fast! Either way, fasting will greatly help you in becoming healthier and fitter.

Will it work for me? Fasting is not going to be for everyone. You either read this section and think “no way!”, or you’ve gotten intrigued. For those who are willing to try and believe that it could work with their lifestyle, it is extremely easy. The first 3 days you may struggle with hunger cues (our hormones will trick us into thinking that we are hungry because we are so used to getting food on an average basis), but after the initial period it will feel normal. If you’re an ectomorph or mesomorph looking to shred fat, I highly recommend you to try Intermittent Fasting for at least 1 month. And, if you have a flexible lifestyle/being 89

a student/flexible hours/working shifts, it may be really easy for you to adjust to. It all comes down to what you want to do for your health, what you believe in and what you feel that you could stick to. THAT is the KEY to succeeding longterm. Which is why this product includes information that gives you the options of choosing what you prefer. Now, if you’re an ectomorph who aims to gain muscle mass and weight, you need to make sure that you eat enough calories during your Eating window!

Changing it up Just like with any food, exercise, and daily routines, your body will become accustomed to it. When you have been doing intermittent fasting for a while, it’s good to mix it up. Here are 3 alternatives that could work for you 1. Go 1 week without fasting, every 4th week 2. Break the fast 1/week or once every second week, with an early breakfast and follow it up with a longer fast (20+ hours) 3. Have 1-2 days/week off fasting (eat regularly 3-5 meals per day) without any particular break If you choose to give it a try, it will most definitely work with this Meal Plan. The only thing you need to do is minimizing your eating window. If you still want to eat 3 meals, simply follow the originally given guidelines for the Meal plan. If you feel like having 2 meals and 2 snacks per day, follow the Guidelines below.

Try Intermittent Fasting to see if it works for you! 90

If you don’t love the way you treat and feed your body, how are you supposed to be able to love yourself? They are so connected! We are told to love our bodies but feed our minds with toxic thoughts and feed our bodies with toxic food. To love yourself, there needs to be sacrifice. You need to set a goal that will make you proud. You need to set smaller goals that will take you to it. And then you need to start working. Health and Fitness has just as much (if not more) to do about having a healthy mind, as a healthy body. This section provides tools and thought patterns for you to implement wherever needed!

Leading a life of self-improvement, constantly working to become a smarter, stronger, more emotionally intelligent, healthier person YIELDS selflove. We believe that the reason to why we get so disappointed when we don’t reach our goals, is because we all have a picture of who we could be! The person we truly are inside and who we want to be. So naturally, as soon as we start to work on ourselves, we will create that path of growing selflove.

93 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Confidence & Self-love Learn how to enjoy where you are right now, at this moment (even if you’re working on improving yourself). Practice self-love every day, embrace your body and be grateful for all that you are and have. This is so important when starting a new lifestyle, new habits and being able to stick to them. The more you are being present, the more you feel love and the more grateful you will be. Which leads to knowing what’s best for you and the more you’ll listen to that part of yourself (the truth-telling part of you), the more you’ll want to treat yourself like you deserve. We believe that a big part of that is by eating the right nutrition and by moving your beautiful body. You will know that you deserve to reach your goals!

Morning Ritual Wake up and tell yourself what you are grateful for. Thank the Universe/God/yourself/whoever you believe in, for what you have in your life, for who you are, for your family and friends, for your mind, for your body, for your health. Everything that you can think of, to be grateful for this morning! Even when you have a bad day, a stressful morning, an external factor that creates suffering inside, there are things to be grateful for in life. YOU ARE ALIVE, to start with. You are breathing. Spend 3-5 min doing this when you wake up.

Now, choose 3 things that you love (or want to love) about yourself. This could be different characteristics or parts of your, for example: “I am smart”, “I have strong, beautiful legs”, “I am confident”, “I have an amazing butt”, “I have beautiful eyes”. Whatever it is that you want to focus on today. Choose 3 things and say them to yourself, in your head or out loud, for 3-5 min. If you can, look at yourself in the mirror and repeat the mantras. This might seem silly, but it is amazing to see how the mind works and how we can change our subconscious thought about ourselves, with conscious actions. Thirdly and lastly, use this mantra “Every day, in every way..” And add the things that are important in your life, for your health, mind, fitness, happiness. For example, “every day in every way I am more and more present”, “every day in every way, I am stronger and stronger, “every day in every way I am more and more confident, “ every day in every way I help more and more people”, “ every day in every way I motivate people”, “ Every day in every way I learn more and grow as a person”. Whatever it is that you want to feel and improve in your life. Take 3-5 min for these mantras. Suddenly you have incorporated a 10-15 min morning routine that focuses on the positive things in your life, the positive things about yourself and how you want to improve your life. This can be done first thing in the morning (in bed), when you shower, when you have breakfast or when you drive/take the bus to work. The rituals will not only implement a positive mindset, but it also reflects on the rest of your day. Give it a try!

Limiting factors Limiting factors are what halts us in the process of success. They exist in our minds, to different extents, where some are bigger, and some are smaller. Some limiting factors are greater in our minds than what they are in practice. Some are more physical than others and easier to point out while some are hidden patterns in our subconscious. Your limiting factors might be a lack of motivation, lack of time, a busy schedule, an illness, comfort-eating, people in your surrounding not living a healthy lifestyle or lack of information and knowledge. Either way, figuring out what your Limiting factors are can help you escape the excuses in life. Ask yourself: 1. What prevents me from eating healthy? 2. At what moments, do I not stick to my decisions? 3. Why do I not live a healthier life? 4. Why do I not follow through on my goals? By answering these questions, you get the answer to what your limiting factors are. This way you can start eliminating them from your life! You might realize that it’s time to have a talk with people around you, whom you don’t feel supported by, about your new lifestyle change. And if they are good for you, they will understand and support that decision. You might realize that you must prepare some meals every day, and always have a backup option, never having to deal with the risk of eating bad food because of lack of time. You might realize that you are an emotional eater and that you fuel your body with sugar and processed foods to make yourself feel better, and need to find healthier alternatives and instead do an activity that brings you joy when feeling stressed out. You might realize that you have a tendency to blame other people for your failures. 96 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

Whatever the answers are, you must understand that YOU can change them. No matter your limiting factors, you can either learn to eliminate them or work around them. It is up to you to realize that you have the power of changing what limits you to reach your goals in life, and it is time to take charge of them.

Habits Limiting factors usually arrive from Habits of ours. To take responsibility and change our habits, we need to understand them. Think back on your childhood: 1. Did you usually get to drink Sodas during the weekends or on special occasions? 2. Did you receive Weekly candy from your parents? 3. Did you get to eat Hamburgers on Fridays? 4. Did you always get popcorn for the Movies? 5. Did you get a treat when you hurt yourself or were upset? What are the Habits that you’ve been brought up with? What are the Habits that you’ve continued to do, and maybe bring your family up with? Habits can be a great thing! It gives us a sense of routine and consistency by creating these things that we associate with ourselves. But, that’s also the tricky part. We associate weekends, events, holidays and certain occasions with these Habits. Because we have always done them, and it wouldn’t be the same without, would it?!

97 © 2019 kitdaletraining.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any share to a third Party is illegal and will be prosecuted

The point of Changing your Habits is not to remove what you love and look forward to the most. It’s about taking the habits that you know are not good for you and that you deep inside want to change, but can’t seem to figure out how to. It’s about at a deeper level, understanding that just because something has been done a certain way for a long time, it doesn’t mean that it is the best way. Especially not if you want to grow and improve. Choose 2 Habits that you have, that you know doesn’t serve you any long-term benefits. Write them down! Create 2 Habits that you wish you had. Something that you might have done before, but quit. Something that you’ve always dreamt of doing. Something that will take you a step towards what you dream of improving (this might be that 30-min walk every day, starting the day with a Healthy Breakfast, starting with Intermittent fasting or telling yourself you’re awesome every time you look in the mirror). Write them down! Now, replace the old habits with the new ones. Work on them every day. This is THE NEW YOU

Motivation & Discipline All great things take time and to succeed, you must have discipline, you must be persistent. We all seem to look for motivation and sometimes we look at other people and wonder HOW THEY can be so motivated. BUT, the thing is, motivation is NEVER a constant factor in anyones life. Motivation comes by being disciplined with our daily tasks and following/working for our goals.

Vision your goals before you, write them down, read them every day, say them out loud every day and follow through with the steps to get there. Start improving your discipline, every day, to show yourself that you can do what you set your mind to. By changing small things, every day or every week, you implement discipline that will lead you to an outcome you before could only dream of. Find your purpose. What is your purpose for change? It is for your health, your family, your work, your dreams, your confidence, your body image or all of them? Figure it out. I find that with a strong purpose, willpower comes a lot more natural. It is easy to make excuses, which is why we don’t succeed with our goals. We stay inside our comfort zone because stepping outside of it is quite scary and we might fail. But failing is only you not trying, which means that IF you have failed so far, at least you have tried! And if things go the way I dream of, you will succeed more and more when you start to implement these tools. The fact is, we can all make excuses. Discipline is you doing your best when it’s the hardest. It’s when you don’t give up on yourself and THIS will make you motivated.

Set goals If you look at your “weakest points” in life, where were you going? What goals did you have? Did you have any? Did you have any idea of where you wanted to go or how to get there? We sure know that we’ve been lost there, many times!

We as human beings need goals. We need a mission. We need a meaning in life. Start by setting small goals (manageable goals), a few for every day, some for the week, some for the month, the year. This way you create a mission and a meaning for yourself (no matter if they are health, fitness, relationship, business or work related). You are not the only reason you haven’t reached your goals. When it comes to nutrition there are so many factors that play part and that makes it hard. BUT, you are the only one who can make sure it changes. When you learn and gain knowledge, find the right tools and the right mindset, it won’t matter that food labels have tried to trick us for years or that fad diets have gotten the better of us for centuries. All those circumstances will be lessons learned and all you’ll have is working towards a greater you, day by day.

Visualization Goals stay as dreams in our heads if we don’t go ahead and pin them down and start implementing steps that will bring us closer to our goals. Write down your Outcome goals and be specific: 1. What do I want to achieve exactly? 2. When will I have achieved these goals? Setting a timeline will both keep you motivated and it will make your vision clear. 3. How will it make me feel when I achieve this? 4. How will the process of getting healthier make me feel? Make your goals as big as you like! BUT you have to believe that they can happen.

Now, to get there, you have to set behavior goals. These are steps that you implement every day or every week that will take you closer to your outcome goals. For example: 1. I commit to waking up one hour earlier Monday-Friday to get my workout in 2. I commit to getting a minimum of 7-9 hours of sleep every night 3. I commit to planning my meals and always bringing healthy snacks with me, wherever I go 4. I commit to drinking a minimum of 2 liters of water every day Set the behavior goals that will lead you to your outcome goals!

Celebrate each reached goal Remember that goals will always keep changing. As soon as you reach one goal, there will be another one. This is how our Health and Fitness becomes a life-long process! Our goals and purposes will change, but we can make sure that our dreams of always being healthier, stronger and the best we can be, stays consistent! To stop waiting, wishing and dreaming for changes in our lives, we must act. To implement discipline, we must set goals. When setting goals, we must set a strategy to get there. When the strategy is done we have to implement it in our everyday life, and this is done through ROUTINES. Implement discipline by implementing routines in our everyday life. If we must get up an hour earlier than usual, to get your things done, do it! No one else but you, are going to suffer from you not doing or achieving what you dream of. Decide that the new you has new routines. And the new you, won’t go through with old habits that are bad for you. Remember, the things you fear to implement the most, are the ones you have to implement. THEY are the ones that will challenge us, thereby change us! And, motivation doesn’t naturally come from within, it arise when you create these new patterns and routines, day by day and feel where it takes you.
