Your HPA-Axis regulates a lot of your hormones and affects optimal health, body composition and
performance. Your muscles, adrenals, ovaries/testes and thyroid. It’s important you consciously
work to continually reduce stress and inflammation so your HPA-Axis is functioning optimally with
a positive feedback loop.

EXTRA MEAL GUIDELINES
Food and/or alcohol doesn’t express guilt so neither should you. There
is no such thing as a “cheat meal”. You’re an adult and you make
choices. You can choose not to follow your plan and that’s ok.

CALORIC & MACRONUTRIENT
SYSTEMS FOR ADVANCED FAT
LOSS & BODY COMPOSITION
To get the most out of the various nutrition systems it’s best to have a sound understanding of
tracking your calories and macros (Protein, Carbs & Fats) via MyFitnessPal. After working with
your trainer for at least a month, they’ll know what your “Baseline calories - the daily amount of
calories you need to maintain your current weight or body composition” is at. From there you
can utilise this knowledge to implement a nutrition system that’s best suited to your lifestyle
operating at a deficit for weight loss, maintenance or surplus for muscle building.
NOTE:
Seek guidance from your Personal Trainer or Sports Nutritionist first about which nutrition systems would be best for
you as some will not be appropriate for you at all based on your history, lifestyle or training phase goal.
