Sunday 20th July 2008 - Here we go - the Global Health Challenge

Overview of 8 Weeks Plan - Developed by Tony Findlay (G.H.W.)
Reviewed with Warrior Nutrition Team

This is it. This is where your Biology meets your Ecology !!
I want to give YOU some detail and explain how this plan can help.
This is not only a plan that I recommend but it is a plan that I personally live by and want to share.

The description of the Human E.C.O. System is:

1. Evolution - This is a recognition of the habits, patterns, trigger points that have impacted upon you achieving weight loss success in the past. By identifying these errors we can move forward with clarity which then allows us to better comprehend this knowledge.

2. Comprehension - This is to provide a level of understanding of your body and the key internal elements such as Heart, Liver, Kidney, Pancreas and Gastro-intestinal Tract, so that YOU start to become personally responsible with greater awareness and change the past.

3. Operation GO - This is the action phase which consists of the outline of the next fifty six (56) days or eight (8) weeks of life changing habits so YOU know what you are going to be doing, the RAINBOW Nutrient Refuelling plan to maximize your ; and the Afterburner Workouts to give you a variety of options for your activity sessions.

Part of our health issues concerning OBESITY are that we seldom get a clear and full explanation of what are bodies have been designed to do. We ALL “assume a lot of things” and as a result are then quick to believe the easy “marketing advice” that is given to us by people whose goal is simply to increase their profits by increasing their sales and whose advice justifies our unhealthy habits.

They make our “poor nutritional choices look cool” and anything cool couldn’t possibly be bad for us - could it ??

We buy into this with our agreement of purchases of their products, but we then seem unable to reason or understand why our health is deteriorating and when ill health of any disease “personally touches us” there is always part denial / part lack of responsibility.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not here to pass judgement or criticise anything that has happened in the past.

My role is to facilitate YOU towards finding intrinsic (internal) motivation for changing your life because no one forces you to sit on the couch watching TV while the fitness centre doors are open or while the sun shines outside beckoning you to “come out and play”.

Life is all about choices.
Do you make the right ones ?
Do you want to make better health choices ?

Then it is time to get ECO-friendly with YOUR body.

All that I ask is that if you do decide to try this you be fair to me and to yourself and complete the next 56 days to show you how your life will not only be different, it will be enlightening.

NOTES :
With any suggested lifestyle changing program it is recommended that you seek

OVERVIEW OF THE EIGHT WEEK - HUMAN E.C.O. SYSTEM PLAN

Week One - It begins. The set up phase.
1) Buy yourself a Notepad to record your efforts. This will serve as YOUR personal reference so you can do this again should you need to. It is one of the most effective strategies that I have found with clients.
2) Take a photo of yourself. This is for your records ONLY so do it in a swimsuit.
3) Take measurements. Shoulders / Chest / Waist (bellybutton) / Hips (Pelvic line) / Thigh (midpoint between knee and top of hip) - write them in your Notepad as this will serve to keep a record
4) Optional recording of bodyweight.

Goal of this week is to eliminate all the unnecessary elements (and additional calories) of your nutrition intake that have been causing the problems to your health status and affecting the image in the Mirror.

- Reduce alcohol intake to weekend only - This is not an option
- Replace white foods to whole grains
- Reduce fat intake with low fat / no fat options (in both food and drinks)
- Increase H20 (water) intake to 6 glasses per day
- Introduce the three (3) one hour sessions for three (3) days of activity with the AFTERBURNER Workouts to your weekly routine or continue with your current activities. It is mandatory to do three hours per week.

Week Two - Up the Challenge while YOU'RE still motivated

Goal of this week is to begin to fine tune the Plan and focus on the end result
- Reduce alcohol completely from your life for the duration of the E.C.O. System Plan - its not that hard a choice for a healthier life
- Reduce your caffeine intake to one cup per day (if applicable)
- Increase your fibre intake with salads and vegetables. Dont just add or increase fruit. We need to get more nutrients into your system.
- Increase H20 (water) to 8 glasses per day
- Maintain the three (3) days of activity

Week Three - Consolidate the first two weeks

Goal of this week is to consolidate the first two (2) weeks of the life changing habits
- Reduce caffeine intake to green tea or better yet none. If you still want to have coffee that is okay but it must be with low fat / non fat milk but no more than two cups a day
- Reduce not eliminate your intake of starch and grains which is the rice / pasta and if you still want bread then go to Multi-grain and only 2 slices per day
- Maintain H20 (water) intake to 8 glasses per day
- Maintain the three (3) days of activity

Week Four - Here is where you will start to doubt your staying power - BE STRONG

Goal of this week is to consolidate the first three (3) weeks of life changing habits and get ready for our week 5 challenge.
- Reduce (not eliminate) your dairy intake - this can add a lot of extra calories we don't need
- Reduce (not eliminate) intake of red meat and replace to white fish- Maintain the three (3) days of activity
- Maintain H20 (water) intake to 8 glasses per day

Week Five – THE CHALLENGE WEEK FOR HUMAN ECO CLEANSING

Breakdown of nutrition intake for this 7 days is supplied as separate pages in the RAINBOW Nutrient Refuelling Plan

Goal of this week is to use the next seven (7) days as the “detox period for an internal human eco-cleanse” and we reduce proteins and then re-introduce them if you wish
- Day one = Protein Salmon or Lean Meat or White Fish ONLY
- Day two = Protein White Fish
- Day three = Protein Egg or Legumes
- Day four = Total ECO Cleanse Day. Fruit, Vegetables and Salad only (lots of water minimum of 10 glasses)
- Day five = Protein Egg or Legumes
- Day six = Protein White Fish
- Day seven = Protein Salmon or Lean Meat or White Fish

Week Six / Seven / Eight

-Goal of this next twenty one (21) days or three (3) weeks are designed to consolidate the first 5 weeks and to now being to establish patterns for your new LIFE.

NOTE – the breakdown of the main 7 days for the Human ECO Cleanse is listed in detail in the RAINBOW NUTRIENT REFUELLING PLAN.
I will list it on here as well.
