What is the Pre-plan?
During the Nutrition Pre-Plan, you are taking the first steps toward changing your diet for the better. During the first week, ease yourself into eating regularly and preparing most of your meals. Give up fast food and begin to take time to cook and brownbag your lunch. You should also give up soda and fruit juice, including diet varieties. Instead switch to herbal or green tea or club soda with lemon. Finally, get in the habit of eating three main meals and two small snacks each day. If you are a breakfast skipper, get into the habit of eating breakfast before you start the main program.
In the second week, start to transition your diet away from processed foods (anything that comes in a box, can, bag or shrink wrap) and toward whole foods. You should be eating clean and green. Eat as many vegetables as you can. Switch from fatty sources of protein to lean sources of protein. For example, instead of having T-bone steak, opt for skinless chicken breast or turkey. For grains, choose whole grain options such as quinoa and brown rice over pasta and white rice.
For breakfast, learn how to separate eggs and make your breakfast with egg whites instead of eggs and yolks. Also, reduce your dependence on added sauces and dressings, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing and butter.
The 14 day pre-program will also help get you into shape and prepare you for the extreme program if you need to reach any of the fitness measures outlined in your assessment test. It will get you into great shape, but it won’t overwhelm you. Selecting pre-plan in your profile and it will run you through an exercise schedule four times a week
In following the preplan exercise and nutrition program you’ll experience dramatic results and will be ready to reassess your physical readiness for the core program. You can retake the assessment test in your profile.
If you’re still not ready, continue to follow the preplan program, reassessing every two weeks, until you achieve the physical abilities to work in an extreme way. Don’t feel discouraged if you are not physically ready today, two weeks from now, or even six weeks from now. You will still be exercising and improving your fitness, and body, with a routine that fits your current fitness level. You’ll see results at every level.
What is the Maintenance program and will I continue to lose weight while on the maintenance program?
To maintain your results, you must continue to exercise at least four days a week. The Maintenance program is a plan that recommends the following:
- Three Days a Week – complete your 45-min cardio sculpting workout.
- One Day a Week – work your pet peeves or trouble spot area – either your abs or legs and butt, with one of David’s toning workouts, and then follow up with 30 – 40 minutes of intense cardio.
- Every Month – Switch the order of the exercise by doing the 45 minute cardio sculpting workout once per week, and work your pet peeves and other areas of your body three days per week.
Just as you must continue to maintain your results, you also must continue to eat well. Although the Ultimate Body Maintenance Plan is not nearly so strict as the regimen you’ve followed for the past two weeks, you will still largely stick to you’re A, B, C, D, E and F dietary rules. That said you can safely work one or two of the A, B, C, D, E and F items back into your diet without gaining weight. The process may take a bit of experimentation to see exactly what you can add back in – and what you can’t.
You will continue to lose body fat during the maintenance phase of the program. For further instructions on the Maitenance Program, you can purchase David's UNYBP book, here.
EXERCISE FAQ
What kind of equipment will I need?
In this program you will need three pieces of equipment - the stability ball, dumbbells and the medicine ball - all designed to help you get the most out of your workouts. Each will force you to use the core muscles in your abdomen, sides, and back as you isolate other muscles. That way you will always be working at least two muscle groups at once - for a very effective, efficient workout.
My schedule is tight can I break up the workouts?
Finding the appropriate time to fit exercise into your busy day, will be entirely up to you. Many people have had great success splitting the routine and doing some of it in the morning (first thing) and doing the cardio later in the day. Remember, the key to the successful completion of the program is making it work for your schedule. Meaning, if you only have time for 45 minutes per day, make the most of that time. You will be sure to get results.
I have prior physical injuries / knee problems, is the program for me?
Please consult with your physician if you have prior physical injuries or physical disabilites, when starting any exercise / nutritional program. The UNYBP is a physically challenging full body work out.
I’m currently pregnant / nursing is the program for me?
UNYBP is not recommended for expecting mothers. While mothers who have given birth may do the program we do recommend seeing your physician before starting any exercise / nutritional program.
NUTRITION FAQ
How does the diet program work?
Your nutrition plan works synergistically with your fitness plan to help you achieve ultimate results. Just as your fitness plan will work you to your edge - and beyond - your nutrition plan is equally challenging.
What kind of diet is the program?
In order to get the results you seek, you must strictly adhere to the following A, B, C, D, E, and F of nutrition.
No Alcohol, no Bread, no starchy Carbs, no Dairy, no Extra sweets, and no Fruits and most Fats.
All the food you eat will be as fresh as possible, and as low in fat as possible, and will contain as little processing as possible. For the next two weeks, you'll eat a diet rich in lean protein and low-calorie and fiber rich vegetables. You'll have small amounts of healthful fats every day.
What’s the eating schedule?
On the Ultimate New York Body Plan, you will eat every three hours, ideally at 7 A.M., 10 A.M., 1 P.M., 4 P.M., and 7 P.M. This will prevent you from getting too hungry, thus preventing cravings and bingeing, and will keep your metabolic furnace burning. It also will keep you motivated and energetic for your workouts.
I’m a vegetarian, can I still do the nutritional portion of the program?
Low-fat organic tofu and tempeh are good protein solutions for vegetarians. Also, beans are another high protein source. Adzuki beans, black beans and black eyed peas are all very high in protein.
I don’t eat soy or meat can I still do the program?
I know the plan is tough for vegetarians because it is focused on protein. However, since you eat fish you should be okay. Instead of the various turkey and chicken meals, have fish instead. Any type of fish is going to be a good source of lean protein.
Why can’t I have dairy?
Many people don’t realize that dairy products contain high amounts of a sugar called lactose. Not only that, but most people are sensitive to this sugar and can’t digest it well. It leads to bloating, which is the last thing you want when you want to look your best. On the other hand, dairy products are high in the mineral calcium, which is an important component of fat burning. To make sure you consume enough calcium in your diet over the next two weeks, you’ll take a calcium supplement and consume nondairy sources of calcium such as broccoli, almonds, and sardines.
Why can't I have coffee?
The caffeine in coffee reaises the cortisol levels in your blood, causing your insulin to rise and your blood sugar to spike. This is not a good thing and may actually cause you to store body fat. Try switching to green tea. It contains enough caffeine to wake you up, but not so much that it spikes cortisol levels. It also delivers a healthy dose of anticarcinogenic polyphenols, which, science shows, boost metabolism.
What type of supplements should I be taking while on the program?
We recommend taking The Ultimate New York Body Wellness Kit, a collection of David Kirsch's most powerful supplements at one low price, while on the 2 week program.
The kit comes with:
• Protein Powder (chocolate or vanilla)
• Vitamin/Mineral Super Juice (original, caffeine-free, rasberry or lemon)
• Afternoon Energy
• Flush and Cleanse
• PM Appetite Suppressant
Wellness Kit Schedule:
The nutrition and supplementation is an important and should be followed as closely as possible. Here is the schedule:
7 am: David Kirsch Meal Replacement Powder – blended with 10 oz. of cold water and ice (for a thicker, creamier shake), or just shaken with cold water and no ice (as I prefer).
Vitamin/Mineral Super Juice – blended with cold water and ice or in a small bottle of water and shaken up (as I prefer).
4 Flush and Cleanse pills
10 am: Mid morning Snack (eg. Eggs)
[If one is working out @ 9 or 10 am, then I encourage you to switch the 10 and 7 am meals. In other words, have the eggs @ 7 am and the shake at 10am. The shake can always be drunk while you are doing your workout or cardio session.]
1 pm: Lunch
2 Afternoon Energy Pills
Vitamin/ Mineral Juice (if you want)
4 pm: Afternoon Snack
4 Flush and Cleanse
6:30 pm: 3 PM Appetite Suppressant pills
7 pm: Dinner Shake
HOODIA SUPREME: TAKE 1 CAPSULE ½ HR. BEFORE LUNCH, TAKE 1 CAPSULE ½ BEFORE DINNER.
