THE BLAST PLAN FOOD GUIDELINES

(or ... what to eat and when)

‘Day 6: I’ve not had a single mid-afternoon slump since starting. Usually 3pm rolls around and I’m using cocktail sticks to keep my eyes open. I’ve been a bouncing ball of energy and it’s fantastic!’

C.W., London

Two words: nourish and flourish. This is the juicy bit, the bit where you learn the simple Blast eating guidelines and where you will be inspired by the gorgeous recipes and meal ideas, all perfectly suited to everyday family life.

The results of eating the Blast way for 21 days will surprise you. Together with the effects from the workouts, you will soon start to feel different, energetic and, dare I say it, really quite wonderful.

The Blast plan makes losing fat easier because the food you eat will encourage your body to use up its fat stores. Carbohydrate consumption is offset by four short workouts per week, which gives us minimum glucose, stable insulin levels plus a newfound fitness and rock-hard thighs.

You’re going to take your body on a holiday, where it can relax and breathe, away from hassle and turmoil. You’re going to get control back.

Let’s look at the instructions. They’re clear and straightforward. We haven’t got time for complicated.

HOW & WHAT CAN I EAT?

In Chapters 3 and 4 we learnt how some foods can aggravate the gut and risk causing hormonal upheaval. We’re going to take a rest from these. See Section A, overleaf.

Sections B and C tell you about the foods that are permitted in the plan, together with the guidelines surrounding those foods. There are also sample meal day-planners.

I’ve also included a summary (which is code for me making absolutely sure that YOU are absolutely sure).

Section D gives guidance on portion size.

Section E is devoted to fluids.

See . . . no jokes. I’ve gone all sensible and grown-up.
