Nutrition Analysis and Advice

Step 1 - Weekly Diet Analysis

The key to any successful nutritional or diet makeover is to first analyse what your current diet is. This is achieved by accurately completing the Diet Sheet that you are provided with.
Rather than giving clients a better “healthier” diet it is preferable to initially work with their existing diet and food habits and see if modifications to that are necessary.
My personal belief is that it is better to renovate rather than reconstruct from scratch!
However, very often a complete dietary overhaul is necessary.

Step 2 – BioSignature Modulation

The key to any weight loss, fat loss or muscle gain is to determine your BioSignature profile and to use the information from this to help modify the diet presented in Step 1.
For example, if someone has an Insulin profile then it is vital that they remove, for the best part of the week, any food items which will spike insulin levels.
If someone has high fat content on their legs then it is important to remove anything from their diet or environment that may be causing them to become toxic. This can be caused by simple carbohydrates, make up, false tan or plastics for example. This will be identified by BioSignature and eventually resolved as natural supplements will remove the toxins from the fat in your legs and the fat levels will reduce.

Why does Junk Food make you feel good?

Sugar Rush -> Causes an Insulin Spike -> Body goes into STORAGE MODE (Stores FAT    -> Serotonin Released (you feel good) -> Blood Sugar Drops -> FEEL LOW -> MORE SUGAR REQUIRED

Dietary Consequence of Missing a Meal

  • Low Blood Sugar -> Hungry Brain -> Cortisol UP -> Hepatic Glucagon UP -> Muscle Breakdown UP -> Sugar Intake -> Insulin Rises -> Storage Mode (Fats)
  • Causes an insulin - Cortisol see-saw effect as you crave more carbs due to starving your body by missing a meal.
