This provides stable blood sugar, and the protein you’ll be eating aids in
muscle repair and growth.

The two most common ingredients that cause digestive discomfort are
grains and dairy. Gluten (found in wheat, rye and barley) is a protein
that gives bread its elasticity. It’s a difficult protein to digest, which is
why people often retain water and feel bloated after consuming gluten
- their digestive systems just cannot break it down! Dairy contains
lactose. Many people are deficient in lactase (the enzyme to break
down dairy), which can cause terrible stomach discomfort. Dairy is also
highly processed, and since we’re searching for the highest quality of
foods possible, it’s best to abstain for the full 28-days. However, with
eating vegan you are already abstaining!

STEP #3 - WHAT TO DO AFTER If at any point you experience constipation (which can sometimes
happen when you increase protein intake), be sure to eat your fibrous

sugar all day (and help you lose body fat while reserving and gaining lean
muscle), you need a consistent stream of protein, healthy carbs and fats.
This plan might contain more protein than you’re used to, but in order
to put on muscle (which burns more calories all day, every day), you
need to eat your growing food. Pairing the 28 Day Reset with PIIT28
is the PERFECT combination for fat loss, muscle growth, and optimal
energy.

Alright, are you ready? Let’s get started!’

Nutritional
Information
The following nutritional information provides you with the necessary knowledge to create healthy eating
habits that support a balanced lifestyle.
Macronutrients
Macronutrients are nutrients our body needs in large amounts to support normal and healthy functioning.
Food is made up of carbohydrates, protein and fats and they each provide us with energy in the form
of calories. Each macronutrient provides a different amount of calorie per gram, while serving different
functions for our body. Eating regular, balanced meals that include each macronutrient will keep you feeling
satisfied and reduce the need to overeat.

MACRONUTRIENTS

Carbs Protein Fat


4 CAL/GRAM 4 CAL/GRAM 9 CAL/GRAM

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are chemically broken down quite
easily; therefore they are the body’s main source of
energy. Carbohydrates’ primary role is to provide
energy for the brain and for physical activity. It is
important to eat enough carbs so the body can use
protein and fats for their own jobs, such as muscle
growth and repair. When you have an insufficient
amount of carbs, your body may begin to use protein
for energy and result in muscle loss. Also, if you go
without carbs for an extended amount of time, it and heart disease. Carbohydrates are mainly found

Carbohydrates also provide fiber, which is important in fruit, vegetables and milk products. This meal plan

levels maintained. It is recommended to eat these
“healthy” carbs because they are digested slower in
the body, and therefore help you feel full longer.

Simple carbohydrates are considered unhealthy

Below is a chart that outlines some examples of healthy - Veggies (spinach, kale, peas)
and unhealthy carbs: - Legumes (lentils, edamame)
- Nut Butter
- Quinoa

Fat
Fats are another source of energy for our body,
especially during rest and during low-intensity
exercise. The current misconception about fat
is that it is always bad for you, but that is untrue!
Certain foods provide us with essential fatty acids,
which our body cannot produce. These fatty acids
help form healthy cell membranes, ensure proper
functioning of the brain and nervous system,
Protein regulate hormones and blood pressure, and support
healthy skin and hair.
Protein is essential because it is part of every
single cell in your body. Although protein provides
energy, it is not a primary source of fuel. Instead, its
role is to build and support new cells and tissues.
This is important for maintaining healthy muscle
mass, especially for physically active individuals
whose muscles are in constant need of repair and
maintenance. Protein also helps with the breakdown
of food and maintains fluid and electrolyte balance. Fats also help insulate your body and maintain a
healthy body temperature, as well as provide a

9
cushion for your internal organs. Choosing heart healthy fats is important to lower the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease, as well as controlling cholesterol levels. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
are healthy fats that can be found in avocados, nuts, and vegetable oils. Limiting saturated and trans fats are
recommended because they can cause increased blood levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol
– the “bad” cholesterol), which increases the risk of developing heart disease.

cashews, walnuts, pecans) - Fried Foods (french fries,
- Nut Butters wontons, tempura)
- Seeds (sunflower, sesame, - Loaded Salad Dressings
pumpkin) - Sugar Packed Drinks
- Tofu
- Tempeh

10
Calorie Balance
This meal plan ensures that all calories consumed provide a purpose within your body. However, it is still
important to be aware of calorie balance and control. Calorie balance is like a scale – in order to maintain
your body weight, calories consumed from food and drinks must be balanced with the calories used in daily
functions and physical activity.

Maintaining Weight
- Eating roughly the same number of calories that your body is using
- Your weight will remain stable, or “in balance”

The key to maintaining


a healthy weight is to
make positive lifestyle
changes you can live
with!

Gaining Weight Losing Weight


- Eating more calories than your body is using - Eating fewer calories than your body is using
- Your body will store the extra calories as fat and - Your body is using energy from fat, therefore
weight gain will occur weight is decreasing

11
Label Reading Guide
Accurately reading labels allows you to compare products more easily and make healthier choices when
grocery shopping. It is important to remember that the healthiest foods contain one ingredient or do not
require a label at all! Fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts/seeds and beans are examples of single food
options that your body uses more efficiently than processed foods. However, it is still important to know
how to read a label so you can make the healthiest choices!

The first items on a food label are the serving size and the number of servings per container. In most
cases, the nutritional information on the label refers to a single serving, NOT the entire container – so be
mindful of how much you are eating! If you double the servings you eat, you need to double the calories and
nutrients as well.

Percent Daily Values (%DV)


% DV identify how much a serving of food contributes to your overall intake of nutrients listed on the
table (usually based on ~2000 calorie diet). You can use the %DV as a guideline for making food choices
throughout the day. For example, if you ate something that was high in fat in the morning, balance it with
lower fat foods throughout the day.

- Foods that contain less than 5% DV of a nutrient are considered low in that nutrient
- Foods that contain more than 15% DV are considered high in that nutrient

Below is an example of a Nutrition Facts Table. The areas outlined will help guide you when making
smart food choices.

based on preference and nourishment important to continually replace the water that is

healthy looking hair and skin, cleansing your body of
toxins, and maintain a healthy digestive system. Also,
water benefits your brain because it boosts energy
and concentration! Water recommendations are
individualized based on age, weight, physical activity
level and environmental condition. For example, if
you are physically active you require more water
because of sweat lost during exercise. A general
guideline is to drink at least 8-9 (8oz) glasses of
water each day. Keeping a water bottle with you all

intake!

Exercise not only makes us look and feel good on the outside, but it also increases our state of being.
Being physical fit allows us to live our daily lives with more alertness and energy! Combining physical
activity with a wholesome diet keeps our heart healthy by reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke and high
blood pressure. Regular physical activity also helps promote a healthy body weight and can help control
appetite and blood glucose levels. Staying active for life helps reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis
and promotes happiness! The benefits of exercise are endless, therefore find physical activities that you
LOVE and you’ll be more likely to maintain a healthy lifestyle!
