How do I know if this program is for me?
Valentin, but if I don’t eat fish, is your program for me? What about if I don’t eat meat? What if I don’t eat dairy and cheese? 🤷♂️
✅ THE BODY ENGINEERING OFFICIAL FOOD GUIDE
Our members are encouraged to eat the following foods daily.
A minimum of 3 eggs + a minimum of 200 grams of meat (or organs) + a minimum of 200 grams of fish (or sea food) + a minimum of 1.2 kilograms of vegetables.
Yes, you read that well. All of those, cumulatively. At the minimum. Daily. We only have a guide about the daily MINIMUMS.
When you’ll be in the program, you will find out why it is important to eat more food, not less.
✅ SUPPLEMENTS
On top of all these minimum quantities, we can choose to supplement our food intake with:
2-3 slices of Light Leerdamer cheese or one ball of Mozzarella Light cheese.
1-2 small apples, or 500 grams of strawberries, raspberries or blackberries.
We will always speak about supplements from our food intake, not from pills, tablets or capsules.
With the exception of Vitamin D3, you don’t need to buy any other supplement while in our program.
✅ „I DON’T EAT MEAT”
You will organise your daily meals to contain:
A minimum of 3 eggs + a minimum of 400 grams of fish / sea food + a minimum of 1.2 kilograms of vegetables.
✅ „I DON’T EAT FISH”
You will organise your daily meals to contain:
A minimum of 3 eggs + a minimum of 400 meat / organs + a minimum of 1.2 kilograms of vegetables.
If you choose not to eat fish, I feel compelled to recommend you take an Omega3 supplement. If you want to invest in such a supplement is 100% your choice, of course🤷♂️
✅ „I DON’T EAT DAIRY”
That’s perfect. The classic Body Engineering method includes only very small quantities of dairy – and those will be very carefully selected, anyway.
✅ „I DON’T EAT EGGS”
That’s a shame – they truly are nutritional jewels. It’s your loss. More for us 😏
If you DO eat eggs, you can fry them, boil them, poach them, make omelettes or you can cook them any way you want.
✅ FIXED MEAL TIMES?
I recommend you only eat when you’re hungry and until you’re full. You can eat early in the morning or late in the evening, even during the night if you wake up and can’t fall asleep.
✅ MEAL FREQUENCY
You will eat as many times per day you will need to. We don’t recommend snacking. We recommend having real meals. We don’t recommend 5 meals a day, but we don’t recommend OMAD (One Meal A Day) either. Ideally: 2, maximum 3 meals a day.
Yes, sometimes you will eat 5 times per day or just once – that’s alright. Just don’t make it a habit.
✅ HOW WILL I WEIGH MY FOOD?
You wil not weigh your food. You will just eat until you’ll be full.
If you want, you can weigh your food in the beginning. Just to make sure you select the appropriate minimum quantities. But likely after a week, you’ll be able to tell just by visually measuring your quantities.
✅ WHAT APP CAN WE USE TO TRACK CALORIE INTAKE?
No one in the program counts calories. But if you want to, you can use the Cronometer app – mostly to see the minerals, vitamins and Omega3 are contained in your food and various meal combinations.
✅ DESSERT, SWEETS, SODAS
Every weekend, you can bake a Slim Cake or sugar-free custard. You can drink Fanta Zero, Schweppes Zero, Fuse Tea Zero.
You will notices that in recipes (yes, we have those as well) I always write “Green Sugar” - which is 97% erythritol and 3% stevia. I decided not to pay top dollar for premium sweeteners, so I just use the cheap and good erythritol.
If you’ve heard in the news that erythritol is harmful, don’t worry. I will provide you with an in-depth article disproving this.
Occasionally, you can mix some Skyr with some strawberries and sweetener.
I hope everything is clear. 🫡
