Cross Train Your Diet Meal Plan

chigby77

Phase 1: Monday and Tuesday
The Focus: High carb, moderate protein, and low fat
The Foods: Choices rich in vitamins B and C like lean beef, turkey, spinach, lentils, and oatmeal plus brown rice, spelt tortillas, and fruits like oranges, mangos, strawberries, and pineapple. This kick things off by calming your adrenals, which lowers cortisol (excess cortisol slows production of fat-burning thyroid hormones).

Phase 2: Wednesday and Thursday
The Focus: High protein, high veggie, low carb, low fat
The Foods: Alkalizing veggies like kale, collard greens, and arugula, plus lean proteins like bison, chicken, tuna, and cod. These foods help support liver function; your liver filters out toxins and also manufactures the metabolism-stimulating compound L-carnitine, which helps transport food to the mitochondria where it can be converted to energy and burned.

Phase 3: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
The Focus: Healthy fat, moderate carb and protein
The Foods: Salmon, avocados, nuts, nut butters, and seeds, plus fiber-rich artichokes, cauliflower, asparagus, quinoa, and wild rice, and low-sugar fruits like grapefruit, raspberries, and blueberries. Minimizing fat intake some days and eating a moderate amount other days helps stimulate your body to burn fat.
