The Art of Rotation – Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Phase I of The Meltdown Anti Diet lasts for a period of 30 days. During this time, food and supplementation completely rotates every three days. This three-day rotation is one complete cycle. Phase one consists of 10 total three-day cycles. The Art of Rotation is really as easy as: One, Two, Three! It is simple to master because days two and three of each 3-day cycle throughout Phase I are exactly the same. And, after completing Days 1, 2 and 3, you merely begin the cycle back at day one and start over again. The scientific reason for manipulating macro-nutrient (fats, carbohydrates and proteins) profiles every three days in a rotating cycle pattern is to trick the body into burning as much fat as possible without sacrificing muscle. Further, every diet has a point of plateau when the dieter fails to achieve further progress and success. Remember, Meltdown Anti Diet is revolutionary in that it treats food like a drug. Just like a drug attenuates (stops working) shortly after use, so to do diets. That is, until The Meltdown Anti Diet came along and pushed that scientific fat loss envelope until it busted this previous limitation wide open. This Phase I alternating three-day rotation pattern disallows the body to return to homeostasis. Therefore, rapid fat loss occurs indefinitely!

The Science that Fuels Rapid Fat Loss

Our Phase I goal is to deplete the body of its favored source of energy, glucose and also glycogen (a scientific term used to describe stored carbohydrate in the muscles and the liver). This is accomplished by meal timing, meal frequency, macro-nutrient manipulation, glycogen depletion etc. By eating precise amounts of specific carbohydrates that are low on the glycemic index  we keep our insulin levels from spiking. This will keep glycogen replenishment to a minimum and force the body to burn stored fat as an alternative energy source! Keep in mind that there are a myriad of other factors far beyond the glycemic index that ignite the Meltdown Anti Diet fat loss fire such as glycemic load, insulin index, insulin load, and the IMPACT that food and supplementation have on the powerful fat burning hormones IGF-1, Growth Hormone, Thyroid (T-3 and T-4) etc. Therefore, we took the guess work out of this glycemic index and other hormonal mumbo jumbo by providing you with 22 Charts and sub-charts labeled, A through N -- each titled to indicate foods that you can eat on Day 1, Day 2 and/or Day 3 during each phase of the Meltdown Anti Diet strategy. One of the most overlooked roadblocks to success of other diets is that they set you up for dieting failure by providing you charts that list both good and bad foods. One of the big breakthroughs used to dramatically increase the likelihood of success is that the Meltdown Anti Diet only provides a meticulous list of “approved” foods. These approved foods are listed throughout 22 Charts that are allowed on the Meltdown Anti Diet. If it isn’t on charts, A through N, YOU CAN’T EAT IT! This extensive Meltdown Anti Diet, 22-Chart Food Database System eliminates the massive margin for failure that other diets were unsuccessful in addressing.

Phase I consists of one day of a high carbohydrate (50% of total daily calories) and high protein (50% of total daily calories intake) with less than 5% dietary fat. This is followed by two days in a row extremely low carbohydrates (10% or less of total daily calories from FiberTeq™ and vegetables only), very high protein (60% of total daily calories) and 30% good dietary fats. Eating in this manner results in uninterrupted and extremely rapid fat loss! In the following pages you will learn how to calculate LBM (Lean Body Mass) so that you can figure out what your daily protein, carbohydrate and dietary fat intake will be during Phase I of the Meltdown Anti Diet.

Nutrient Intake Profile for Phase I - 30 Days

Day 1: 50% Protein, 50% Carbohydrate, (5%+/- Dietary Fat that occur naturally in the Protein and Carbohydrate food sources). Days 2 and 3: 60% Protein, 10% Carbs, 30% Fats

Transitioning into Phase II and Phase III

In Phase II you have to ramp up to meet the demands of the much more efficient body you have developed. In Phase II you simply drop Day 3 and cycle back and forth on Day 1 and Day 2. Phase II marks a metabolic shift in which your body is now primed to burn fat as fuel.

You may be asking yourself, “So, why are there different Phases of the Meltdown Anti Diet? Why can I not just stay on Phase I since the results were so phenomenal?” Ironically, the answer you seek is in your question. Because “the results were so phenomenal” you no longer occupy the same body that you did when you started the Meltdown Anti Diet 30 days ago. Your new body requires more fuel from carbohydrates because you now have more muscle than you did in Phase I and increased muscle demands not only greater carbohydrate intake, but more calories overall. If you continue on Phase I longer than 30 days, your fat loss progress will slow down greatly or may even stop because of insufficient food calories to support new muscle tissue. Entering into Phase II your body has been reprogrammed and is a much more efficient fat burning machine. Just like a high performance car burns more fuel and requires a higher grade of fuel, so too does a high performance body. Furthermore, insulin sensitivity is greatly improved and, consequently, the body utilizes carbohydrates more efficiently and needs increased amounts of high grade protein. This is why you graduate from eating carbohydrates every third day on Phase I to eating carbohydrates every other day throughout Phase II. You can now efficiently burn through and deplete glycogen (stored carbohydrate) at a 30%+ faster rate than before. Consequently, you can drop the extra third day (“Day 3”) it used to take in Phase I to burn through your glycogen. You no longer need to go two full days without carbohydrates and must increase protein intake according to your LBM (Lean Body Mass). As a result you are instructed to measure and record your weight, body fat percentage, total fat pounds and LBM prior to starting the Meltdown Anti Diet and at the end of Phases I, II and III. Your proactive involvement in this process coupled with the fact that you are achieving serious progress provides the psychological stimulus that propels you toward even greater success. And, as you already know, your LBM is the basis used to determine protein, carbohydrate and dietary fat intake.

More Cool Physiological Fat Loss Events Taking Place in Your Body!

In addition to the superb benefits of improved insulin sensitivity and increased lean muscle tissue, there are more really cool fat loss events taking place in your body! Because body fat is considerably lower after completion of Phase I, production of aromatase enzyme will likewise, be significantly less. Therefore, whether you are a male or female, you will have more utilizable testosterone (yes, women produce and require testosterone too) to burn body fat, increase muscle, sex drive and energy. This occurs because aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. In Phase II less body fat means less aromatase enzyme to turn testosterone into estrogen. Simply stated, the more fat you lose, the more efficient your body will become at burning additional body fat.

Fat Begets Fat – The Double Edged Aromatase Sword

The high body fat/high aromatase enzyme connection is way beyond ugly; in fact, it’s just down right Fugly! This fat/aromatase relationship is a double edged sword because estrogen promotes body fat gain and water retention and testosterone is a primary muscle building and fat burning hormone. So, flipping this relationship in our favor by lowering body fat is yet another of many fat loss secrets put into action with the Meltdown Anti Diet. It is also important to be aware that testosterone also increases energy and is 100% responsible for sex drive in both sexes. I’ve never heard Joel Osteen, Billy Graham or even Moses preach that Fat Begets Fat so I’ll take the liberty to deliver this new message: Fat Begets Fat! If you are following what I’m saying, you now have an understanding that body fat is something that causes a geometric explosion of even more body fat. Here’s a rough idea of how it works:

Geometric Explosion of Body Fat

More body fat = more insulin = more body fat = insulin resistance (and vice versa) = more body fat + more aromatase enzyme = more estrogen = even more body fat and water retention = more body fat + less testosterone = less muscle = slower metabolism because of a less favorable fat to muscle ratio and less muscle to burn body fat = more body fat = more lethargy and less desire and even inability to exercise = more body fat = more health problems = inflammation and leads to an unending geometric explosion of body fat that will eventually lead to either incorporating the principles outlined in the Meltdown Anti Diet or death!

The Meltdown Anti Diet Rapid Fat Loss Diet yields lower body fat and, conversely, this lower body fat begets lower body fat because it reverses everything in the equation outlined above. There are other reasons why you cannot just continue on Phase I, but I’ll have to assume that by now you are convinced why you need to progress to Phase II in order to fuel rapid fat loss momentum.

Nutrient Intake Profile for Phase II - 30 Days

Day 1: 50% Protein, 50% Carbohydrate (5%+/- Dietary Fat that occurs naturally in the Protein and Carbohydrate food sources). Days 2: 60% Protein, 10% ZI Carbs, 30% Fat

The big-picture-goal of both Phase I and Phase II is to prepare you for the transition into the Phase III also called, The Rapid Fat Loss Zero Impact Lifestyle. The exact reasons for shifting from Phase I to Phase II are the same reasons for also transitioning into Phase III. The final 24 days of this program involve restructuring your entire eating, exercise and supplementation habits toward the aspiration of living The Rapid Fat Loss Meltdown Anti Diet Lifestyle. The goal is to maintain the accomplishments and progress that you made during the first two phases of the Meltdown Anti Diet. At this point our goal is to continue to coax the use of body fat as a preferred energy source, maintain a healthy lean metabolic state, while sustaining stable and high energy levels everyday and “non diet” functionality.

Should you occasionally choose to dine on and enjoy some of the protein and other food sources containing higher amounts of dietary fat, such as fish, meat, nuts, avocado etc. listed in Food Charts B, E and F on the following pages, just make sure that 50% of your food intake is from protein sources. If you wish to increase dietary fat intake to 30%, just cut carbohydrate intake back to 20%.

The Rapid Fat Loss Meltdown Anti Diet Lifestyle! “The 50-30-20™ Diet”

Phase III marks the end of alternating Days 1, 2 and 3 and involves a diet consisting of 50% Protein, 30% carbohydrates and 20% Dietary Fat. This invention and concept is also officially Trade Marked as 50-30-20™ in reference to dietary supplements, all beverage categories, nutrition, diet programs, diet books and anything related to these fields. It also refers to and is trademarked as a diet consisting of 50% Protein, 30% Carbohydrates and 20% Dietary Fat. The other advantage of Phase III is that it is far less complicated and more lifestyle friendly, but just as effective for continuous and life long progress!
