Adhere to a carbohydrate-rich,

moderate-calorie eating plan.

Instead of eating from 1000 to 1500 calories a day, you’ll be

consuming from 1600 to 2400 calories per day. Maybe you can eat

even more after your new body weight has stabilized. Trial-and-

error experimentation is a must. Women should start with 1600

calories, and men with 2000 calories per day. Note what happens

after a week. If your body weight keeps going down, raise the

calories by 100 or 200; depending on how much weight you lost

during the last week.

Soon, you should reach a level where your body weight stabilizes.

That level is your daily calorie requirement. Naturally, you’ll be

able to consume other foods than those listed in the Bowflex®

XTREME®2 home gym eating plan. By then, however, you

should know the value of being a smart shopper and a wise eater.

Read labels. Compare nutritional information. Be conscious of the

ideal 60:20:20 ratio for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Eat smaller meals more frequently.

You’ve been limiting your five meals per day to 300 calories if

you’re a woman, or 500 calories if you’re a man. You may now up

the calories by 100. What happens if during a single meal you eat

more than 400 calories if you’re a woman, or 600 calories if you’re

a man? Don’t panic. Simply understand that you will sometimes

backslide. Learn to anticipate these urges and take corrective action.

Drink at least 1 gallon of cold water each day.

You should realize by now the benefits of consuming plenty of

water each day. Make your water bottle a permanent part of your

lifestyle.
