40/30/30
Food combining
The 40/30/30 Diet offers a wide range of benefits, without
deprivation. Compared to most other diets, the 40/30/30
Diet is healthy, plentiful, and delicious. The 40/30/30
Diet consists of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and
30% fat. This ratio of food works to stabilize your
blood sugar on a moment to moment basis. Blood sugar
levels are extremely important because sugar (glucose)
is the main source of fuel used by your brain and central
nervous system. In fact, going without sugar for more
than 10 seconds will result in unconsciousness. |

Once you experience what its like to
be on the 40/30/30 Diet, you will never look at food the same
way again. Within only a few days of starting the 40/30/30 Diet,
you will experience increased mental focus, greater physical
energy and decreased food cravings. These benefits are mainly
attributed to the intricate connection between food and hormones.
If Hormonal Nutrition is started
young enough, can it prevent menopause and andropause? The
science says yes. The problems with estrogen and testosterone
are from hormonal miscommunication, not a lack of hormone.
Hormonal Nutrition will restore
youth, keep women
fertile to a late age, prevent PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome).
For men, Hormonal Nutriton can prevent
or control hair loss, graying, feminine breast
formation and other factors associated with andropause.
Hormonal Nutrition prepares the way
for changing how we think about food during the new millennium.
The hormonal effects of food have many implications to understanding
human physiology as well as the prevention and reversal
of disease. There is a lot more to discover
and we will see big changes in the years to come which would
inspire and encourage people to start taking an interest in
nutrition rather than being turned off by the diet industry
like so many are at present. •

The red,
White & Blue Food Combining Charts
The red, white & blue food combining
charts® makes following a 40/30/30 diet is easier than ever
before. The 40/30/30 Diet manual ” contains the “Red,
White and Blue Food Combining Charts,” color coded food
charts built to make food combining easy. The food charts mark
foods white for carbohydrates, red for proteins, and blue for
fats. By combining all three, it equals a 40/30/30 balanced
meal.
How it Works...
Foods are separated into 3 basic categories:
Proteins are red,
carbohydrates are white and fats are blue.
Simply choose one of
each color to create a 40/30/30 balanced diet meal.
The New Science of Hormonal Nutrition
When we eat carbohydrates, they are
digested into simple sugars, pass through the wall of the small
intestines and then enter into the bloodstream. The pancreas
senses this rise in blood sugar and secretes the hormone insulin.
Insulin drives blood sugar down by pushing it into muscle, fat
and liver cells. This effect is counterbalanced by eating protein,
which directly causes the secretion of the hormone glucagon.
Glucagon raises blood sugar by causing the liver to release
its stored sugar (glycogen) into the blood. The simultaneous
interaction of these two hormones (insulin vs. glucagon) keeps
your blood sugar at a constant level throughout the day.
Like protein and carbohydrates, fat also acts as a potent hormonal
regulator within the body. Dietary fat causes the small intestines
to release the hormone cholecystokin in (CCK). CCK travels to
the brain where it provides you with a feeling of fullness.
Feeling satisfied is essential for long term dieting success.
Most of your fat should be in the heart-healthy, monounsaturated
form. Examples include olive oil, nuts, avocado, guacamole,
natural peanut butter and Smart Balance® Light buttery spread.
Following a 40/30/30 diet lifestyle leads to lifelong hormonal
control, restored youthfulness and an education of food that
is worth its weight in gold. •
The Glycemic Index
The concepts of a 40/30/30 Food Combining Diet require that
most of your daily carbohydrates come from low glycemic, or
slow absorbing fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These types
of food are beneficial because they take a longer time to convert
into blood sugar, and subsequently less insulin is needed to
bring the sugar back down to normal levels. This sustains the
availability of sugar and ultimately extends the time between
meals. Fast absorbing carbohydrates, on the other hand absorb
quickly and command greater amounts of insulin, bringing about
greater blood sugar swings.
Calorie Requirements
The average female eats a 1200 calorie
diet and the average male consumes approximately 1600 calories
daily. Daily calorie requirements are based on a combination
of your lean body mass and your daily activity level. The human
body requires .5 to 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body
mass depending on your activity level. The more you exercise,
the more protein you will need and the more total calories you
are allowed to eat each day. •
Getting Started is Easy!
1. Refer the the calorie charts on page 7 to approximate how
many calories you need each day. The average
female consumes 1200 calories each day and the average male
takes in 1600 calories per day.
2. Decide on a meal schedule from page 9. The average person
eats 3 meals and 2 snacks each day. Space out your meals throughout
the day and the general rule is do not go more than five hours
without eating.
3. Refer to the food charts to create your daily meals. It is
as easy as red, white and blue!
FAQ
What is the Average Weight Loss?
Most people experience 3-5 pounds of weight loss
in the first week which is primarily due to the initial water
loss. Thereafter the amount of weight loss should be 1 to 1.5
pounds of fat loss per week. No diet should ever recommend more
weight loss than this. Daily exercise and a pharmaceutical fish
oil supplement are strongly recommended because they amplify
the benefits of this healthy diet plan.
What do I do when I go out to
eat at a restaurant?
Each 40/30/30 kit comes with a tool kit that includes a Restaurant
Eating Guide and for quick reference 40/30/30
Pocket Food Charts are also provided that easily fit into your
back pocket or pocketbook.
What if I get hungry throughout
the day?
Refer to the list of "Free Low Carbohydrate Vegetables."
These vegetables are considered free foods because they contain
very few carbohydrates.

USA Diet at least 80% of the time. We are all human and deserve
a cheat meal once and a while to keep our sanity. Since the
