We encourage everybody who train's with Achieve to 'eat clean' for the first
30 days of their programme. The aim of 'eating clean' is to reduce
the amount of toxins you take in to your body to help regulate your hormonal system. Many of the foods we
commonly shop for contain ingredients that our bodies find hard to
process and are considered to be a toxin by our systems.
Your body will then store these away in fat until it has time to
process them. We know the effects of some of the obvious toxins without
being told; the reason many people drink alcohol is for the toxic
effect of being drunk, however they then complain when the toxic effect
of hangover hits them.
The 'Real Food, Real Results' programme focuses on having foods that
are natural, wholesome and supportive to your body.
With the main foods to avoid being:
Processed
Foods - This is anything that comes in a tin, is pre-packed, or the
ingredients have numbers and unpronounceable words.
Sugar - Including sucrose, glucose, fructose and the many other ingredients
added that end in 'ose'.
Wheat & Gluten Products - Bread, biscuits, cakes, pies and breakfast
cereals. The list for gluten is extensive; it is added to many foods
as a bulking agent, if you're buying non-organic meats, check for
ingredients. I saw a turkey last Christmas in the supermarket that
was only 95% turkey!
Alcohol - All forms including cooking alcohol.
Caffeine - The obvious ones are coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fizzy
drinks. However, beware of herbal teas as some contain caffeine, e.g.,
green tea (most brands will say naturally decaffeinated if they are
okay to drink). Also avoid decaf, as these products have been through a
chemical process to remove the caffeine, these chemicals are often more
harmful to the body than the caffeine itself.
Dairy - Milk and Cheese, (full fat natural yogurt is allowed).
The standard response I get when suggesting this programme is: "What
will I eat?" My answer is always the same, "Foods which
are natural, wholesome and supportive to your body".
We always focus on what we can't have rather than everything else
that is available. The basic rule of thumb is; if you could pick it,
dig it, catch it and eat it, then it should be okay, obviously there
are exceptions to the rule and common sense should prevail.
It is hard to begin with but if you follow these principles 100% you
will feel great, lose tons of body fat and inches, sleep better and
have better skin.
The following resources provide recipes and guide you through the
principles of eating clean, nutritious and wholesome foods if you
are not a bootcamp member.
