Like all of the weeks prior, set some tangible goals for yourself for week 5. We are in the home stretch now. Write in your journal how you’re going to improve for week 5. Make these concrete and attainable goals.
Our two main goals right now are:
- Eating enough for your body’s true maintenance to increase your resting metabolic rate
- Consuming all of the micronutrients your body needs to function most optimally
This is what your MASTER plan achieves, and by having the plan figured out ahead of time, you are essentially creating a meal plan for yourself to follow. When you have the ability to wake up in the morning knowing exactly what to eat to feel and perform at your best, you can focus your energy towards work, training, relationships, etc.
You do not have to follow your MASTER plan forever, but try to follow it DAILY for the remainder of this 6 week course at least. This plan is also what you can use in the future after dieting, illness, injury, or just when life gets busy and you need a “reset” for your intakes.
This MASTER plan should now always replace a fad diet, or a juice cleanse, or fasting to feel better. Eating enough and filling those calories with nutrient-density is the reset your body has likely been missing.
If you did not track 95-100% this week, go back to WEEK 3 and restart from there.
If you did not follow your MASTER plan then simply repeat WEEK 4.
