CALORIE CONTROL
Each day, eat between 1200-1500 calories. Don’t go below 1200 calories a day, or you risk
body rebellion! Your body perceives this caloric deficit as ‘starvation,’ and immediately goes into
calorie hoarding mode, storing any and all calories you take in as fat, even the good ones! This is
exactly the opposite of what you’re trying to do. To encourage your body to release fat as fuel and
elevate your metabolism, eat each of your meals and snacks at regular intervals throughout the
day. Generally you’ll eat something every 3-4 hours. Here’s how an eating schedule might look on
any given day:

4-Week Kick-Start Diet Plan
Want to kick-start your weight loss right now? Then this 4-Week
Kick-Start Diet Plan is your meal ticket to success. Using the foods on
your suggested shopping list, follow this meal plan for the first month
of your program; after the first month, add in a few more calories to
maintain your healthy weight. Here’s how it breaks down:
• Each day, choose one meal each from the Breakfast, Lunch and
Dinner lists.
• Each day, choose 1-3 snacks from the Snack list.
• Plan to eat a meal or snack every 3-4 hours during the day.
• On days when you don’t have an after-dinner snack, wait 30 minutes.
If you’re still legitimately hungry, add an Extra into your plan. They are
indicated in your sample schedule with a “*Refer to Snacks listed*”.
• Add the calories together and make sure they total between 1200-
1400 a day.
• For optimal four-week fat-loss, eat starchy carbs (bread, tortilla, rice,
potato) before 3 PM and stick to veggies and occasional small fruits
after that.
• Drink at least 1/2 gallon (8-12 glasses) of water a day.
• If you don’t like a particular item in a suggested meal, sub it with
something from the same food genre. For example: you hate celery.
Have sliced raw red peppers instead. Beef is not your friend? Sub in
pork or shrimp.
• The Sample 4-Week Kick-Start Diet Schedule is only an example.
You may change items around as you wish, so long as your calorie
total stays between 1200-1400 a day.
This diet plan was created for an average women’s body size, for
men, the diet plan would need to be adjusted accordingly for their
body type.
Food preparation notes:
• Cook all your egg whites and pan-seared items in a
non-stick skillet coated with non-fat cooking spray.
• Cook all vegetables in a steamer or eat them raw.
• Unless otherwise specified, make your rice, oatmeal,
smoothies and other need-to-prepare dishes with water,
not milk or juice.
• Cook in bulk and portion your food out in baggies or
containers for convenience.
Fast Fact:
Some days you might be
hungrier than others; this is
fine. Hunger is a sign that your
metabolism is working! Have
another snack between meals
or add a little more to your plate
during meal times without going
overboard. Remember: you
want to create a caloric deficit,
but not so much that you shut
down your system.
Beyond Four Weeks
Remember: this 4-Week
Kick-Start Diet Program is only
to be used for your first month
to kick-start your fat-loss
process. After four weeks,
incorporate 100-200 calories
more into your daily plan,
bringing your calorie totals to
between 1400-1500 calories.
This will encourage lasting,
effective fat loss of 1-2 pounds
a week while giving your body
the fuel it needs to train hard
and be fit.
