Eat up to five ThermojeticsŪ High-Protein, Low-Carb Products a day
and one meal, or up to four of the products and two meals plus
ThermojeticsŪ gold twice a day.
For
example: Enjoy a shake for breakfast, a protein bar a few hours before
noon, a shake and salad for lunch, a soup and a drink a few hours
before dinner. With this example, you can indulge in a great-tasting
and filling dinner consisting of some of your favorite foods that are
high in protein and taste, but low in carbohydrates.
2.
Meals should consist of:
- Protein:
almost as much as you want, preferably skinless, lean white meats.
Enjoy your favorite cuts of meat or fish such as top sirloin,
chicken breast, pork chops or fillet of sole. Or make an omelet
loaded with "real" cheese and slices of fiber rich
vegetables from the permissible list located in the "Doctors
Advise" Section.
- Salads:
consisting largely of greens and selected vegetables, such as
radishes, mushrooms, cucumber, celery and various peppers. Jazz up
your salad with slices of chicken, turkey or cheese. Or pile it
high with tuna, shrimp or crabmeat.
- Vegetables:
choices, choices, choices including bean sprouts, broccoli,
cabbage, mushrooms, green pepper, spinach and lettuce. Stir fry a
selection of vegetables in olive oil and add either chicken, beef,
turkey or even tofu. Or eat them raw, dipped in olive oil.
3.
If you are eating two meals a day then they should consist of only
protein and vegetables. Be creative and remember to vary your
selections and try new dishes as often as possible. Fruits should be
limited, but if you must eat fruit as a treat, peaches and plums are
preferred.
Some
people use a system of Counting carbohydrates-that's not necessary any
more. If you use our specially formulated high-protein, low-carb
products and the vegetables listed in the GREEN column-and rarely eat
foods in the YELLOW category- you will lose weight virtually
effortlessly as your body naturally burns its own stored fat.

As
part of our High-Protein, Low-Carb Program, you may consume reasonable
amounts of fat. Although fat is perceived as unhealthy, not all fats
are bad. There are some good fats such as Omega-3 fatty acids, which
reduce inflammation and protect the heart. Our new High-Protein, Low-Carb
Program also encourages the consumption of monounsaturated fats, such
as canola and olive oils. Some saturated fats in red meat may be
eaten, but consumption should be limited as much as possible.
Trans-fatty acids, which are present in pastries and hard margarines,
should be eliminated. Vegetable oils, such as corn and safflower oils
that are much higher in Omega-6 fatty acids, should be minimized.

Protein
is thermogenic. The body requires more calories to process, handle or
digest protein than it does to digest fat or carbohydrates.
Conversely, carbohydrates have the lowest level of thermogenesis. By
consuming a high-protein diet, thermogenesis is enhanced, a key
component of our science-based, weight-loss system.
