Low Calorie Days

Your body still thinks it’s a hunter gatherer – and it is. It’s still programmed to handle feast and famine and it still needs days when it has time off from processing food. This is your cue to help your body, and to help yourself.

What is a Low Calorie Day? They are often called fast days, but to some, fast implies you eat nothing at all. On Low Calorie Days you do eat, but you significantly reduce what you eat. A diet of 550 calories is a Low Calorie Day. The calories you eat should include a combination of what you eat normally, that is a mixture of protein, fat and carbohydrate.

Introducing LCDs (Low Calorie Days) into your life does two things:

1. It reconnects you to your evolutionary present, gets you back in sync, and gives your body the time it needs to switch on its repair genes and do essential repairs and maintenance.

2. It gives you a simple and effective tool with which to manage your weight.

Low Calorie Days and weight management

Low Calorie Days are a highly effective way of managing your weight and of getting – and remaining – healthy. They are a common-sense way of mobilising your body’s naturally evolved systems, to work for you and not against you.

Low Calorie Days work best when you combine them with two things:

1. You eat sensibly on normal days. ‘Sensibly’ means keeping as near as you possible can to your Recommended Daily Allowance for sugar, salt, fat and saturated fat and fibre.

2. You take regular exercise.

The bonus of Low Calorie Days? The weight you lose when you go on a Low Calorie Day is nearly all fat. There is almost no muscle loss. (With most diets you will lose as much muscle as you do fat. This doesn’t happen with Low Calorie Days)
