Cut The C.R.A.P Diet
A diet from James Duigan (personal trainer for “The body” & Rosie Huntington Whiteley etc).
C.R.A.P stands for:
C: Caffeine
R: Refined foods
A: Alcohol & Artificial sugars
P: Processed foods
Toxins and acids makes us fat: “Anybody who eats and drinks too much alcohol, fizzy drinks or sugar and processed food, will struggle to keep their weight down. That’s because toxins are stored in fat cells, so they encourage your body to cling on to fat. If you are dieting the regular way but still taking in toxins, you’ll lose weight, but the toxins have will have nowhere to go except back into your system”.
And that is why you feel unwell, headachy and lethargic within a few days of starting a diet. Your body quickly decides it doesn’t like feeling this way and clings onto far more doggedly so the toxins have somewhere to go. So if you are even mildly ‘toxic’, you will find it hard to lose weight. “The only way to get lean, is to get clean” says James Duigan.
One cup of coffee is allowed per day, organic and as dark as possible
Some processed food can be OK like a good quality of tomato sauce.
Low fat yogurt is really nasty too – go for the the full-fat Greek version
Anything ending in ‘ose’ is nasty for your body
Alcohol, if you must as clean as possible, like Vodka or Snaps
Fat makes you slim – good fat from avocados, olives, nuts and oily fish, when you eat an apple eat a few nuts to go with it. Fat speeds up the metabolism.
THE LAZY WAY TO SLIM
*Have a cheat meal* after a 14-days kick-start plan, you can have one *cheat meal* a week.
*Take fish oils* Perricone MD Fish Oil (www.naturesbest.co.uk)
