THE FAT BLOCKER PROGRAM: BUILDING YOUR EATING PROGRAM

March 11th, 2009

How do we develop an eating plan that is practical, doable, and aims in the direction of these ideals? A simple way is to follow the practical, no-nonsense food guide pyramid put out by the U.S. Government. This plan isn’t fancy and it doesn’t involve hyped-up theories of food combining, or drinking gallons of water, or eating only a couple of kinds of foods. It is based on the principles of good old basic nutrition, making it an excellent, easy-to-understand guide to nutritious eating.

When designing your eating program, think about how the ancient Egyptians designed the pyramid. The bulk of the pyramid’s bricks were laid at the bottom, with each subsequent layer having fewer and fewer bricks. The same should be true of your eating plan: Most of your food should come from whole-grain breads, cereals, and pastas, which are the rock-solid basis of a good nutritional program. To this, add lesser amounts (but still plenty) of vegetables and fruits. Working your way up the pyramid, add still smaller amounts of nonfat dairy products and

protein foods like meat, fish, poultry, peas, beans, and lentils. Finally, top it off with minimal amounts of fats, oils, and sweets (if desired). Obviously, in practice, this pyramid would often become inverted because we like fats and sweets so much. But you can generally keep to the pattern you seek by the ingestion of Chitosan, shrinking the bulge at the top of the pyramid that would otherwise occur.
