Healthy Diet = Healthy Weight Loss

Eating right is a critical part of any healthy weight loss program. It doesn’t do any good to have an intensive workout if you don’t eat the right foods. Your body needs natural and powerful fuel to burn while you work out. In order to lose/maintain weight, you need proper portions of dierent types of foods.

TERRAfit Nutrition Guidelines

• 1. Make fruit and vegetables a staple. They are high in fiber, low in carbohydrates, and very high in nutrients.
• 2. Don’t skip meals – this actually lowers your metabolism and encourages your body to store fat. Use TrimShakes as a meal or a snack replacement.
• 3. Pay attention to your body. Don’t eat until you are stuffed; just eat until you aren’t hungry anymore. Get used to a “healthy full.”
• 4. Improving is better than perfect. Focus on changing one habit at a time, for example, eating a salad with dressing is better than eating a fast food hamburger.
• 5. Drink water (not soda, not juice). Choosing water instead of juice or soda helps speed up your metabolism; and can save you 240+ calories a day.

Start Your Body’s Engine To Burn Fat

We know that the length of time we exercise has a direct impact on how many calories we burn – and thus, how much fat we lose. You earn 20 points if you exercise for at least 30 minutes each day. If you can carry on a conversation while you are exercising, then you aren’t working out hard enough.

The TERRAfit Workout incorporates a unique 4x4 Interval System combining lean muscle strength training with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) – which can help you burn up to 9-times the fat and calories of a traditional cardio workout by helping your body continue to burn calories even after the workout. When you engage in brief periods of strenuous exercise, our bodies can’t bring in enough oxygen. This creates an oxygen deficit. Our body then engages in Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). EPOC is directly correlated to the intensity of your workout session. The more intense the workout, the more calories your body will burn after the workout has ended. The calories continue to burn until your body returns to the state it was in before you started working out. So, you earn 10 bonus points if you use the TERRAfit workout and follow the TERRAfit workout schedule as your exercise routine. Proper warm up and cool down are important to any workout program so you must complete the entire workout including warm up and cool down to earn these 10 extra points. For example: if you are following the TERRAfit program you only need to do the workout that is on the TERRAfit schedule in your workout guide. You’ll receive 20 points for working out and 10 points for following the TERRAfit program with a total of 30 points per day.

Wednesdays and Sundays are your rest days from exercise if you are using the TERRAfit workout or any other exercise program; please take a rest because your body needs it. Don’t worry you will automatically get 30 points even though it is a rest day. Be sure to give yourself the 30 points allotted for exercising on Wednesday and Sunday even though it is a rest day by indicating that you have worked out and you have completed the bonus TERRAfit workout
