GI focused eating plan questions and answers.

I have gotten so many questions about my Quick Start Energy Program that has a Glycemic Index (GI) focused eating plan. It is amazing how many writers are covering the program right now. It is not new, but it is definitely revolutionary.

Thousands of women and men are using my program and millions are following a similar method of eating with outstanding succeess. Plus, I have guided and trained thousands of people personally and I have NEVER had a failure on the plan. There are people who did not use it properly or quit or lost their drive and discipline, but the PLAN itself has not failed. I love the concept. It saved my life and gave me a propserous and gratifying career. It has become a lifestlye and passion of mine.

I was diabetic, obese and had high blood pressure at a very young age and once I found the Glycemic Principle, I conquered it all with incredible results. The results were so amazing I was able to make a celebrity Fitness career with my physique, talent and experience. The GI focused eating plan is a healthy, balanced meal plan which offers a realistic approach to keeping weight off for good.

Is this diet healthy? Is it like other than food specific diets that cut out whole food groups?
Yes, this program is definitely different than other weight loss program because it is based on healthy eating. It is based on eating the right combination of protein, complex healthy carbohydrates, hydrating optimum fluids and proper fats. Plus I give you some insider secrets about reducing cellulite and belly fat.
Here are some other important life changing benefits:

Never feel hungry – Less mood swings – less PMS- less mental stress
Stabilize blood sugars and banish cravings – clarity of thinking
Lower risk of diabetes and heart disease and save money on pharmaceuticals
Follow a healthy and satisfying diet for your taste buds


What are the key principles of the diet?
The diet is based on established scientific fact that different carbohydrates get broken down by the body at different rates.

It is based on the idea that eating foods that have a low glycemic index. Since GI is a measurement that ranks how quickly or slowly foods are broken down by the body and used as energy, Low GI foods will release energy more slowly, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable and keeping you fuller for longer, your energy is higher longer, you store less fat and your mood is elevated longer. Your new found mental clarity helps your success.

Translation… you feel great, you lose weight, you are happier, you experience less biochemical anxiety, you are more alert, responsive and playful. Your ability to think and discern is clearer so you are able to make decisions easier. One of the benefits that I like the most is that I can concentrate better for longer periods of time. It makes for better reading, studying and task mastering.

Once my blood chemistry was balanced, I was able to sit down, be calm, quiet my mind from anxiety and sometimes depression. I was able to figure out what I was running from and started developing a plan to move me toward what I really wanted. I had been so emotionally unbalanced that I could not even see, feel or comprehend what it was that I wanted. By changing my diet and getting biochemically balanced, I was able to write out my career and business plan.

My entire life changed, I went from a neurotic kid to a mature businessperson and Fitness Celebrity. Deep inside I sort of knew what I wanted, but my mind was a mess and I thought I was losing it. IT was severe hypoglycemia which feels and acts as clinical depression. Determined not to go on meds and spend a fortune every month I searched for a natural solution.

What are the benefits of this diet?
Apart from helping you to lose weight, this diet boosts vitality by keeping blood sugar levels stable which stops you from feeling sluggish. It also helps prevent heart disease and strokes because it is a medical fact that the fatter you are the more likely you'll be to suffer from both conditions.

Who supports this diet?
This eating plan is not about hype or cheap sales, this program It has become a standard for many medical and fitness professionals.
It has been recommended as a method of eating by physicians, endocrinologists, diabetic nutrition specialist, in the USA and many other countries for years. This is a serious plan. It has come under attack by the “eat whatever you want and lose weight charletons” which is a joke. There is no way you can eat whatever you want and lose weight unless you are nine feet tall, have a basal metabolic rate (number of calories which your body needs to maintain it’s weight) of 7,000 calories.
I take my work seriously.

I want everyone to be fit, healthy, happy and free in every aspect of their life. I take offense when people talk about the program that saved my life and gave me a new start at a career that I would not have been able to do if I was still OBESE, unhappy, unmotivated and spending all my money on meds. I am so thankful to the scientists who help put it all togehter and made it so simple for me to create a total program using it. I put all the pieces together because eating is oonly aspect of my Quickstart Energy Program. I give you all elements I needed to transform my shape, my body, my blood Chemistry and my secrets for cellulite reduction along with the mental aspect of making the whole process work. If you don't have the mind and will and guidance to work it, NOTHING will work.

How much weight does the average person lose on the program?
If you apply yourself, follow the plan and work out with heart and discipline, you can lose up to 10lbs in a month. But I recommend losing weight more slowly - say around a pound a week. When you read about some of the amazing testimonials on the Quickstart Page you will see some of the possibilities for yourself. That is why I put up REAL people on there. I didn’t hire infomercial models or pay some people to use the program or use photoshop and manipulate the photos like some programs do.

If you get in the GI strategy of consistentFat Burning you can be like millions on other people who follow the plan and you can maintain your perfect weight and size the rest of your life."

Why are low glycemic index foods better for fat loss than other foods?
Low GI foods take longer for the body to digest leaving you with a sense of fullness longer. This means low GI foods are more likely to get you through to your next meal and you'll not be tempted to have quick sugary or fatty snacks."

Are all high glycemic index foods higher in calories than foods with a lower glycaemic index?
"On the whole yes because high GI foods tend to be more processed than lower GI foods and contain more sugar and fat. This means they are quickly digested by the body, although there are some exceptions.

"Watermelon and rice cakes, for instance, are very low in calories but high GI because they digest very quickly and leave you craving for your next meal or snack."

Can all food groups have a low glycaemic index?
"No. Carbohydrates are the only food measured using the glycaemic index.
"However, the diet puts all food groups including proteins and fats into three different categories consisting of red for prohibited foods, orange for limited foods and green for as many foods as you like."

Can I eat dessert?
Absolutely! Thanks to all the different manufacturers that make perfectly balanced desserts and nutrition bars, there are thousands of options and choices abailable.

Can I drink alcohol?
Not for the first thirty days during the detoxing phase and re-regulating your metabolic rate. When you reach a target initial fat loss, you can have a glass of wine or a light beer at dinner in moderation. Alcohol is not recommended because it clogs the liver, slows down your fast weight loss and it digests as a simple sugar which stimulates your appetite. Then you eat more and crave sugar which can send you into a snack attack eating frenzy. When you overeat bad foods, you destroy your progress and then you begin the downhill spiral of yo-yo weight gain.

Is exercise recommended on this diet?
Yes, you need to do some kind of cardio every day to start the fast burn process. You can walk, cycle, take some sort of cardio low impact fat burning class, it will help you to burn more calories and keep your skin tight as you lose the fat.
Choose an activity that is easily integrated into your lifestyle and aim to do at least 45-60 minutes a day.

Tight and Sexy not Skinny and Stringy

Detox Tea

I believe the most important organ in your body to care for is the liver. If you have a toxic liver, you will not burn fat fast. SO here is my favorite Detox Tea for your Liver and Kidneys. They work together in synergy. Peach Detox Tea, Yogi Tea Cleansing Tonic, Certified Organic - 16 Tea Bags to a box. The box sells for about $4.99. You just follow the directions on the box.

Stringy Skinny Celebs...

I have been seeing so many skinny stringy celebs on the tabloid covers and I want to share with you some tips to not let your body get stringy and soft like theirs.
1. You must not skip meals
2. You must eat good quality protein since muscle requires complete protein to build
3. You must stay hydrated
4. You must do some form of weight lifting - prefer light weights plus twice a week you want to go the gym and do a quick
circuit that has these exercises in it. I do every exercise for:

2 sets of 12 repetitions per exercise with weight that gets moderately difficult at the 8th rep

1. Leg Press
2. Leg Extension
3. Leg Abductors
4. Leg Adductor

Lat Pull down
Seated Lat Row

Tricep Pressdown
Bicep Curls

Abdominal Machine 3 sets of 15 Repetitions

TIght and Lean not Skinny and Stringy
If you follow the suggestions above while keeping your cardio going five times per week you will keep your body tight and lean. Those poor skinny celeb party and workaholic girls don't get to the gym and lift weights on a regular basis. They are dehydrated from partying. Alcohol dehydrates your body. Plus alcohol makes your liver toxic which shuts down your metabolic processes for cleansing and detoxing. They stay up late and do not eat healthy balanced meals on a daily basis. They may be popular here and there on tabloids and in Hollywood, but their bodies are showing their lifestyle and soon if they do not get with the program or get on the program, their internal organs may suffer irreversible damage.

I am not a hater. I don't hate those hollywood chicks the way the magazines do. It's their life. They are just living theirs in front of the world. I just can't believe that the press is so mean to them to sell magazines, yet they give them all types of publicity when they make a movie, release a CD or make a new reality show. They pump them up when they are rising and then drown them when they are sinking!

Do It For Yourself
That's why YOu can't live your life for someone else's approval and acceptance. You should NEVER diet for anyone else. You have to lose weight and get in shape for your own personal reasons. When you are in shape, you feel good, you have energy, you enjoy life and you have more joy to share with others. Others will get a benefit from your new found vitality.

If you lose it for someone else, it will always be conditional to you and that is damaging to your psyche. I will not work with a client unless they want it for themselves. You already have too many demands on us from many different sources and directions. The last thing you need is someone else looking over your shoulder every time you pick up a morsel of food. It's one thing to have an accountability partner it's another to have a critical person making a negative comment about your progress or lack thereof.

You can't please everyone. Most importantly, you shouldn't even try. DO what you know is right. Take care of yourself and cheer yourself on. Let your bathroom mirror and your new favorite smaller jeans be your cheerleader. Encourage your self, motivate your self. Be the absolute best you can be. Your true friends will be there for you and your user friends will be haters and fade away and try to guilt or talk you out of getting a hot body!

Hey friends, this is tough. I have been in this business enough to know what it takes to succeed and be content with who you are and your body size and shape. You know that deep in your heart there is a desire to live an abundant, joyous exciting and adventurous life. You should. It is your birthright and you can do, be have all that you desire if you are wiling to do whatever it takes. Don't wait - start today. Do not eat another thing that damages your body. Do not eat another thing that will make your body fat, sick and diseased. Do not engage in conversations that make you feel powerless! it's better to be silent than feed the negative demons who show up to mess us up!

Reach Higher and Climb Faster!

Love You all!
