EVOLUTION .

. .:7-DAY
~~

The meal plan located on the

following pages was created and
approved by Jillion Michaels.

GET OFF TO A GOOD START

The first week of this diet is the only time your food regimen will be extreme. I'm
having you do this to detoxify your body from food and other unhealthy aspects of
your daily consumption and literally "kickstart" your metabolism. Ultimately, the goal
is to transition you into a more balanced way of healthy eating, but in the first week
motivation is key and this diet will help you achieve dramatic results fast! By the end
of one week, you could drop up to a jean size.
If you currently drink soda or alcohol, STOP. These two things will destroy your weight
loss efforts . When it comes to soda, whether it 's sugar or diet, the chemicals and the
calories are terrible for your metabolism, and alcohol is enemy number one. Alcohol
not only promotes fat storage, but it dramatically cripples your will power. When else
are you going to find yourself at an all night diner at 2om, eating a burger and fries?
Also, wean yourself off of white flour and sugar. These ingredients are found in highly
processed foods with minimal nutritional content and they both inhibit your body's
ability to burn fat, not only from their calorie content, but the way they inhibit your
metabolism biochemically.
YOU CAN HAVE UP TO 400 MG OF CAFFEINE A DAY.

LOSE UP TO A
JEAN SIZE IN
ONE WEEK!

GET STARTED
For the next 7 days you 'll be eating 3 meals and 1 snack each day (snack should
follow lunch). Space these meals out in 4-hour intervals. Your total daily calorie intake
will be restricted. My intention here is to help you kickstart weight loss. This is not a
" forever" way of eating. Calorie intake increases after the first week.
The good news is, even on the 7-Day Kickstart plan you won't feel deprived.
The meals and snacks are so delicious and satisfying!

This Kickstart plan was formulated to allow for your own personal taste and
preferences, while getting you the most rapid results possible! Because of this,
the meal plan contains NO fruit, flour, grains, sugar and only 1 serving of
low-fat dairy per day. There are 3 breakfast, 3 lunch, 3 snack and 3 dinner meals
to choose from. If a meal or snack does not appeal to you , simply mix and match
a breakfast for a breakfast, or a snack for a snack. Do not swap meals between
"meal types," meaning do not swap a breakfast for a lunch or dinner, etc. as the
calorie quantities are adjusted accurately per food category. Choose (in this order)
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 snack and 1 dinner per day. Please note that there is 1 dairy
breakfast (the Greek yogurt) and 1 dairy snack (the pecan yogurt) - be sure to only
choose a maximum of 1 of these daily.

You may use this Kickstart plan one time, in 90 days.

After completing this 7-Day plan, you should transition to the
Fat Burning Meal Plan which provides a greater variety of food.

TIPS AND STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

As you withdraw from alcohol and sugar, and eating too many calories,
headaches and low energy are common side effects. Be sure to drink plenty
of water to stay hydrated . Eat only three meals a day .. . Breakfast, Lunch , Dinner
and one Snack at consistent intervals in order to maintain steady blood sugar
levels (Snack should follow lunch) .
Have a game plan in place for when you are tempted . These are called
recovery behaviors. Whether it 's getting on my message boards, calling a friend
for support, doing a little bonus cardio, or nurturing yourself in ways that are life
affirming , like a massage- as long as you've got a plan you are setting yourself
up for success.
Although tracking your progress is important, don't weigh yourself too frequently.
Your weight can naturally fluctuate a few pounds every day so a daily weigh-in,
especially at the start of the program , can be discouraging. Stick to a once
weekly weigh -in and make sure it 's the same scale and the same time of day.
Plan out meals a day or two ahead of time. Staying organized by grocery
shopping and preparing meals in advance is a surefire way to make these
7 days fty by.
Create a support team. Enlist a family member, or a close friend (a buddy) ,
to help you stick to the plan . Look for personal cheerleaders who want to help
you succeed . Don ' t surround yourself with people who don't exercise or eat
foods you crave. That's the last thing you need!
Stay focused on your goals! Always remember your WHY. Why did you start this
journey in the first place? Let those reasons drive you . Remember that looking
and feeling great is way better than any item of food could possibly taste. Know
that you're capable of losing weight for good and realizing your full potential in
weight loss- and every other aspect of your life!

Results may vary. Exercise and proper diet are

necessary to achieve and maintain weight loss.

ORGANIC DAIRY: should be fat-free or low-fat (3 grams of fat or less per serving). Examples include:

organic skim or 1% milk, organic low-fat or nonfat yogurt, organic low-fat or nonfat cheese/cottage

ORGANIC MEAT: should be lean cuts of meat such as: skinless chicken and turkey breasts (avoid

dark meat poultry), lean cuts of beef such as filet mignon, flank steak and sirloin , lean cuts of pork,
such as pork tenderloin and lean center cut pork chops .
SEAFOOD: fatty fishes, such as salmon and mackerel should be included with frequency.

sources of Omega-3 fatty acids include: fatty fishes such as salmon , halibut, snapper and nuts such
as walnuts, Brazil nuts and almonds. Shellfish is also great in moderation. All seafood options
are healthy, just be sure to choose wild/organic varieties when possible.

include: red bell peppers, oranges, cantaloupe and cooked broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

Vitamin E: sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach and swiss chard.
VITAMIN B helps boost testosterone. Foods that are high in Vitamin B include: lean beef, tuna, turkey

breast, oats, legumes/beans and avocados.

NIACIN and ALLICIN rich foods also boost testosterone. Foods rich in niacin include chicken breast,
