How to get organized and prepared:
The WHOLESTIC Method 30 Day Transformation Program: PHASE ONE
5-day Jumpstart Program to RESET and REBOOT the WHOLE You from the inside out.
The WHOLESTIC Method 5-Day Jumpstart Game Plan:
- HYDRATE! Wake up and hydrate with sea salt mineral water
- MOVE OUTDOORS! Get moving and wake up in the outdoors in the morning sunshine for a fasted walk 10-40 minutes.
- Morning and evening cold shower intervals as 20 seconds hot/20 seconds cold “Tabata” timer intervals or sauna then finish with cold shower
- Good Stressors… Hot/Cold, Fast/Eat, Work/Rest (HIIT)
- Morning fasted cardio at MAF heart rate (180-Age formula)
- Morning or early evening: LIFT HEAVY THINGS! Best time to exercise is when you are able to do it consistently. Try morning, afternoon or early evening strength training – no high intensity training or METCON type of hard workouts during our modified fasting week. Example: 5 x 5 workout.
- Gratitude time! Take a moment to give gratitude verbally or write in a journal morning or evening…write three things you are grateful for that day and three things you did for someone else to bring joy and happiness to others! Pay it forward.
- DETOX your TOXIC Energy Robbers and environment
- Avoid snacking and mindless eating – if hungry or cravings go for ACV drink first then try bone broth. If need more- add healthy fats (coconut oil, MCT oil, Ghee, or grass-fed butter) to broth and sea salt.
- Avoid alcoholic beverages during the program.
- Kitchen closed after your main meal or 7pm. Stop eating or consuming any calories three hours before bed (7pm).
- IF and TRE: Allow body to digest foods and for the internal housekeeping service to arrive overnight while sleeping (Detoxification) = intermittent fasting 12-16 hours overnight. LESS is MORE for cycling females!
- ONE main meal around 2-3pm: 40/30/30 macros to start then adjusting.
- Test and not guess keep carb intake lower as 50 grams for some people. Lower carbohydrates the more carb intolerant you are, insulin resistant and higher glucose. Ask doctor to test insulin, inflammatory markers and vitamin D levels or order your own blood testing via: https://www.ultalabtests.com/partners/debbiepottscoaching/quickorder/index
