Let’s dive straight into the points. The point system is based on a number of different factors. Don’t worry, you don’t have to know the science behind the point system. You just need to reach your set goal of 50 points a week.
The program is focused more on quality of foods rather than quantity. Our biochemistry and physiology are profoundly influenced from the foods we eat. One prime example being that our chemical energy is derived from food and is responsible for an optimal functioning body.
There are thousands of phytonutrients that exist in nature and each one can have dozens of different actions in the body. The point system was designed around some of the most important actions from these phytonutrients. These mechanisms include actions involving anti-inflammatory properties, combating oxidative stress, supporting liver function, supporting gut health and our microbiome, immunomodulating functions, and optimal metabolism. Quantity and quality of macronutrients (carbs, fats, proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) were also factored into the point system.
Core Concepts
Your goal each week is to reach 50 points
You receive points for completing healthy tasks. We will review each of these tasks in the next chapter. You will tally your points by completing a quiz at the end of every day.
Nutrition
You will choose foods from the “eat these foods” section & you will avoid the foods from the “avoid these foods” section. You also don’t want to overeat as even healthy foods can have too many calories when consumed in excess. We recommend 2 meals and 1 daily meal replacement shake for optional results.
Focus on your “healing zone”
A dedicated timeframe designed to enhance your overall health.
Drink adequate amount of water
Optimal water intake is crucial for a healthy life. We recommend drinking half your body weight (pounds) in ounces of water.
Ex) 150 lbs = 75 ounces daily
Exercise
Exercising is an important component for all healthy lifestyles. Completing some type of daily movement is beneficial for everyone. We understand everyone is at a different fitness level so to meet your daily goal you must at a minimum work out for 30 minutes a day.
Write out daily goals
You are much more likely to complete a task if you write out your daily goals. Evidence based research supports that writing out goals will help you form new habits.
