The Art of Eating the FITworks Way!

I have received a lot of emails and comments about not knowing where to begin when you start eating the FITworks way, so I decided to write a blog to help you begin or give you confirmation that you are doing it right!

I suggest that you begin by not looking at this as diet or a stressful activity – it is a essential that you make this something you enjoy – or you are not going to stick with it.

Start by logging into the FITworks Community! (It’s Free)

Once you are logged in and you’ve created your profile, you can start thinking about your meal plan.

Hover over the word RESOURCES (Top-middle of the page), a drop down will appear and you can click on ebook.

This ebook is such an important part of your Zip It Up journey, that if you have never read it – take the time to do it right now. You will be fully educated on everything you need to know about how to provide your body with the nutrients you need.

After you have read your ebook, it’s time to start planning out your menu. If this is your first experience with FITworks meals I would recommend Carla’s 12 Day Fit Start! By doing this you can learn how to eat 4-6 times a day with her guidance.

If you are ready to try your own recipes I recommend you focus on pages 11-19.

I’ll create a day’s worth of meals as an example for you. I am going to write out 6 meals because that is the maximum someone should eat. If you are female under 200 pounds eat 4 meals a day, if you are female over 200 pounds or eat 5 meals a day. If you are male you can eat up to 6 meals each day. It is important that you do not eat less than what you need. If you are struggling with feeling full, just make your meals smaller, but DO NOTcut out one of the food groups needed for that meal. The combination of foods is what makes this work.

Here we go:
