The following nutritional programme has been designed to help you make serious short and long term changes to your lifestyle. The key aim of the programme is to eliminate toxins from your system. So whether you want to lose weight or not adapting its principles will provide invaluable benefits to your health.
Basically all the foods in the Restrict or Cut out list (below) either poison or add stress to your elimination, digestive and hormonal systems. This in turn makes it extremely difficult to lose weight and keep it off with any diet programme out there. By eliminating them will, cleanse your system giving you more energy, less body fat, better sleep, less anxiety, softer skin, focus more clearly and lots more.
It’s called the Olympic Programme as it gives you 3 different options to choose from, Gold, Silver or Bronze.
The Gold Medal approach requires you to abstain from all the foods in the Cut Out section long term.
Silver requires you to abstain from all foods in the Cut Out section for 28 Days and then make choices as to what foods you want to reintroduce to your diet.
Bronze encourages you to abstain or restrict from as many foods in the Cut Out section for as long and as often as you can manage. The results and benefits will not be nearly as good as Gold or Silver. You might well find the one food you decide not to give up is doing the most damage.
