Green faces 7 day challenge – June 2011
The world of dieting can be a confusing place… Macronutrient %, low carb, high protein, zero fat… the list goes on and on. I've always known and advised my clients to follow a simple, clean diet consisting of whole foods for the best body composition results. Eating clean will always be my go-to strategy when attempting to cut some bodyfat, get lean and stay healthy. This diet plan is not rocket science, just a simple, no nonsense approach to sound nutrition for optimal fat loss and health. I give you the ‘Green Faces' (GF) diet.
What is the ‘Green Faces' diet?
The foods allowed on this diet are ‘anything that is green and once had/would have had a face'. It has been recently introduced and made famous by world-renown fitness expert Alwyn Cosgrove and possibly adapted from a similar dieting strategy made famous by Strength training legend Charles Poliquin called ‘Run, Fly, Swim'.
