INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Lisa Fiitt Nutrition Guide.

Why I created this guide?

I wanted to create this guide to help educate you girls on what I believe to be the best
guidance and tips on shedding body fat, while maintaining a functional and healthy
physique!

About me

I have always been into general fitness and lived a healthy lifestyle, but I started my
weight lifting journey when I wanted a challenge to sculpt & build my physique. As an
ectomorph body type, this was something I was going to have to work super hard on.
Through the years, I have extensively researched and experimented with many different
types of nutrition and training methods, to obtain as much knowledge as possible,
including bodybuilding, strength training, and general fitness. I have competed in bikini
fitness modelling competitions nationwide and have gained such a passion for fitness
and training over the years..

Despite the motivation and successes I’ve encountered from my own journey, I soon
realised that helping transform the lives of others has motivated me just as much as my
own transformation, if not more! As my passion for health and fitness has developed in
to a lifestyle, my focus now is to create a positive impact on the lives of others.
Education is key, and if I can do it, so can you!

How this guide can help you.

This guide has been designed to acknowledge everyone as an individual, with no ‘one
size fits all’ quick fixes or jargon. I’ve covered all of your nutritional requirements and
hope to provide you with a foundation of knowledge to advocate a healthy lifestyle.

How the guide works

In this guide I teach you the importance of nutrition and how it effects your body.

FACTS ABOUT FAT
Obesity is rapidly becoming a worrying issue all over the world and has already over
taken smoking as the number one cause for premature heart attacks. 1 in 4 people in
England are overweight and unless more of us adopt a healthy lifestyle this figure is
predicted to rise to 9 out of 10 by 2050. Young men in the UK on average consume 96
grams of excess sugar a day, mainly from drinks & confectionary (that’s 35kg of excess
sugar a year!)

Working out is simply not enough to burn all of these excess calories. As the saying
goes “you can not out work a bad diet”. You can burn 50% more fat during a workout
simply by eating healthier foods.

Working out works the cardiovascular system and essentially, builds muscle. Muscle
exponentially speeds up the fat-burning process (as half a kilogram of muscle requires
your body to burn an extra 50 calories a day just during rest). Now, just imagine over
the course of the next 3 months you were to add 2.75kg of muscle to your body, this in
turn would result in you burning an extra 300 calories a day while at rest. Now although
2.75kg of muscle does sound like a lot, it really isn’t. Muscle weighs 3 times the
amount of fat per centimetre squared, therefore 2.75kg of muscle would not make you
look like a bodybuilder!
Below is a table showing the amount of exercise it requires to burn some of the not so
healthy snacks we may find ourselves tucking into when the cravings call!

BODY TYPES - WHAT TO EXPECT

No one person on this planet is the same - we are all different shapes and sizes. It is
important to understand that different shaped/sized bodies will digest and process
foods in different ways, this is also why some of us are allergic to some foods that
others aren’t.

Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into
energy. During this complex biochemical process, calories in food and beverages are
combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function. Again we all
have different speeds of metabolism and this is due to several biochemical factors in
the body.

Body types can be separated into different groups depending on the ratio of body fat
to muscle mass and the structure of your body. there are three types of body shape;
ectomorph, mesomorph & endomorph.

ECTOMORPH

Ectomorph body types are naturally very small & thin.


Ectomorphs find it very hard to gain weight as they have a fast
metabolism, which burns up calories very quickly. They also need
larger amounts of calories in order to gain weight.

TYPICAL TRAITS OF AN ECTOMORPH:

Small “delicate” frame and bone structure, classic “hardgainer”,


flat chest, small shoulders, thin, lean muscle mass, fast
metabolism

© LISAFIITT.COM 2018 - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 7 of 78


MESOMORPH

Mesomorphs are naturally athletic, strong and have a compact


body shape. They have excellent posture. Often, their shoulders
are wider than their hips, women tend to have an hourglass
figure. Mesomorphs are natural born athletes and tend to be lean
and muscular without trying.

TYPICAL TRAITS OF A MESOMORPH:

Naturally lean, naturally muscular, naturally strong, medium size


joints & bones, wider at the shoulders than the hips, broad
shoulders, female mesomorph: defined hourglass figure

ENDOMORPH

Endomorphs naturally have a larger amount of body fat and


muscle mass. Endomorphs have a soft, curvy and round
physique and display the opposite characteristics from
ectomorphs. They have a slow metabolism, gain weight easily
and have to work hard to lose body fat.

TYPICAL TRAITS OF ENDOMORPH:

Smooth & round body, large joints & bones, high levels of body
fat, slow metabolic rate, lose weight slowly.

WHAT ARE CALORIES?
A calorie is a unit of energy. In nutrition terms, calories refer to ‘the energy
consumption through eating and drinking.’ In regards to physical activity, energy use is
measured in Kcal per hour. For example, an apple may have 80 calories, while a 1 mile
walk (at a steady pace) may use up 100 calories.

WHAT ARE MACRONUTRIENTS?


Macronutrients are comprised of three different food types: protein, fats &
carbohydrates. There is a direct correlation between the foods you consume and your
rate of progress (when it comes to achieving your goals.)

The government recommended portion size of each food can be seen in the eat well
food plate diagram shown below. Each different food group provides different amounts
of energy for your body. These are measured in calories (Kcal). For example:
Carbohydrates = 4Kcal , Protein = 4Kcal , Fats/Lipids = 9Kcal.

WHAT ARE MICRONUTRIENTS?
Micronutrients are the nutrients that we require in small quantities. These are the
vitamins and minerals! Examples of micronutrients are: calcium, iron, magnesium,
potassium, sodium, zinc, vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K. Essential micronutrients
that our bodies requires to function can be sourced from eating a healthy well
balanced diet rich in fruit & vegetables.

PROTEIN - THE BUILDING BLOCKS
Protein contains 4kcal per gram.

Protein is an essential nutrient, responsible for numerous duties all over the body, the
main ones being supporting the building of tissue, cells and muscle.
Proteins are formed from a maximum of 20 amino acids. Of all 20 amino acids, 8 are
classed as essential, Essential amino acids cannot be produced in the body and have
to be sourced from food or supplementation. Non-essential amino acids can be
produced within the body however. required. They all play their role in different ways
within the body to ensure tissue repair and cell growth.

All different types of body types require different amounts of protein. Several factors
such as weight, height, gender & activity level affect how much protein we need.

Lean sources of protein can found in the table below.

CARBOHYDRATES - SOURCE OF ENERGY

Carbohydrates contain 4kcal per gram and come in 2 forms; complex carbohydrates
and simple carbohydrates. (sugars).

These are your body’s MAIN source of energy. Complex carbohydrates include whole
grains such as wholegrain pasta, wholegrain bread, wholegrain rice. They are digested
at a slower rate than simple carbohydrates. This slower digestion provides a more
continual and stable flow of energy to your body.

Simple carbohydrates deliver the same amount of energy (4kcal per gram) but at a
faster rate. Therefore, simple carbohydrates provide a much faster boost in blood
sugar levels.

All different types of body types require different amounts of carbohydrates. Several
factors such as weight, height, gender & activity level affect how much protein we
need.

Sources of both complex and simple carbohydrates can be found in the table below.

FATS - THE MISUNDERSTOOD NUTRIENT

Lipids are the scientific term used for fat. Lipids have over twice as many calories per gram
(9kcal), thus processing in the stomach for longer, slowing its digestion time. Fats maintain our
cell membranes, neurone function and production of hormones.

Fats are divided into two categories, saturated fat and unsaturated fat. Saturated fats
remain solid at room temperature and are found in animal sources. Unsaturated fats
are in a liquid form at room temperature. Excess consumption of saturated fat is often
linked to heart disease and other life threatening illnesses.

All different types of body types require different amounts of fats. Several factors such
as weight, height, gender & activity level affect how much protein we need.

Examples of both saturated & unsaturated fats are shown in the table below.

SUPPLEMENTATION
Using supplementation as a catalyst on your road to fat loss can be very effective. One
thing to remember with supplements is that you can not ‘out supplement’ a bad diet.
… So having double the dosage of supplements will not counter act those extra
desserts after dinner!
Supplements will work as a catalyst in line with a calorie controlled diet and the correct
amount of exercise. Supplements aren’t a necessity to lose body fat but as mentioned,
they can help. They are often related with a bad name and involved in the bodybuilding
industry. This is not the case, supplements are made to supplement and work along
with the food you’re consuming, to help you achieve your goal.
When supplements are associated with fat loss people automatically think of
thermogenic fat burners. Supplements that progress the loss of body fat come in other
forms such as Green Tea Extract, Omega 3, CLA, Flaxseed, L-Carnitine & several
others.

Types of supplements, a brief explanation as to what they are and how to take them.

The number one and most common form of supplements is protein powder. Protein
powder is mixed with water to create a ‘milkshake like’ drink. Protein powder comes in
many flavours and brands. There are different types of protein; these include: milk,
whey, whey isolate, casein & pea protein. All of these different forms are broken down
and digested in your body at different speeds. The faster and most common are whey
isolate & whey protein. Only taking 1-3 hours for the nutrients to be readily available for
your body to use, these protein powders are perfect to use to repair your body after
exercise. We recommend take between 20-40 grams of whey/whey isolate protein
within 30 minutes of finish your training. Reasons for this can be found on the Meal &
Macronutrient timing page.

STAYING HYDRATED

The average adult human body is around 57-60% water. The Institute of Medicine
determined that an adequate intake for adult men is a minimum of 3 litres a day. The
adequate intake for a adult woman is a minimum of 2.2 litres a day. A lack of water and
hydration drastically effects your body when it comes to exercise. Water not only
regulates our body temperature but also lubricates our joints. It also helps transport
nutrients to aid production of energy and to keep you healthy. If you're not properly
hydrated, your body can't perform at its highest level. Not being able to exercise at
your full potential is only going to hold you back and slow down your body
transformation.

Body composition (he proportion of fat and fat-free mass in your body) also varies
according to gender and fitness levels. This is because excess fatty tissue contains
less water than lean muscle tissue. Therefore the more fit and healthy you become the
more water your are going to need to consume!

“CHEAT MEALS”

“Cheat meals” are often thought of as ‘4 large pizzas and a tub of ice cream’! Truth is a
“cheat meal” can be any meal that is not included in your diet, for exampe going out
for dinner with family and friends. With a “cheat meal” you don't even have to eat until
you cant move! “Cheat meals” are placed in to diets for psychological purposes as
they help you settle the cravings you have built up. There are also physical benefits
from a “cheat meal”, because of the surplus of calories consumed. Glycogen stores in
the body will replenish. This will result in a feeling of energy and energy boost for a few
days following your “cheat meal”. We recommend that you have a “cheat meal” once a
week and as your last meal of the day (this will prevent you from over-eating
afterwards).

© LISAFIITT.COM 2018 - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 20 of 78


ALCOHOL - CAN I STILL DRINK?
When it comes to drinking alcohol on a diet opinions are always different. Alcohol
contains 7Kcal per gram. A standard size glass of wine can be anywhere between
80-120 calories! We recommend alcohol should be avoided during a strict calorie
controlled diet. We also understand that alcohol can be a huge part of some people’s
lifestyle, so you should include drinking alcohol with or as a “cheat meal”, and a
maximum once a week (the same as a “cheat meal”). Your body’s ability to absorb
protein (protein synthesis) is reduced for up to 24-48 hours after drinking large
amounts of alcohol so don’t get carried away!

YOUR MEAL & MACRONUTRIENT TIMING

This guide is made on a macro nutrient timing strategy. Eating varied amounts of
macronutrients throughout the day and after exercise cam drastically effect how your
body repairs itself and how much body fat you burn.

Your body digests different types of food & macronutrients at different rates. This is
because the amount of calories per gram in each macronutrient varies. Exercise
sensitises muscles to several hormones and nutrients (muscle is most responsive to
nutrient intake during the first 30 minutes post-exercise). Digestive enzymes in the
body work up to twice as fast within this time frame. Although this metabolic window
degenerates as time passes, exercise such as resistance training to the stage of
muscular fatigue keep the window open for anywhere up to 48 hours.

During this guide you will notice that a large amount of carbohydrates are in the post
workout meals. This is all because carbohydrates are your bodies’ number one source
of energy & REALLY helps in aiding recovery (in terms of glycogen stores).
Carbohydrates only contain 4Kcal per gram, thus allows fast digestion.

Glycogen stored in the muscles are a fuel source athletes must replenish after
strenuous training. Fast acting carbohydrates such as fruit will replenish glycogen
stores when consumed immediately after workouts. This is because muscle tissue
becomes spongelike and as a result will rapidly soak up glucose from carbohydrates.

When it comes to digesting food high in fat your body reacts differently. Fat contains
9Kcal per gram. As a result of this the foods that we eat that are high in fat (e.g. nuts)
take twice as long to digest as carbohydrates & protein. It is because of these slow
rates of digestion that eating these foods around your workouts are a disadvantage.
After we exercise our body needs nutrients and refuelling, eating foods that take longer
to digest will only slow down the repair process within your body. Slowing down the
recovery rate of your body is only going to have a detrimental effect on training and
thus slowing down the rate at which you will burn more body fat.

Below you will find over 40 healthy recipes which you can use and mix and match
with to consume your daily calorie and macronutrient intake. We have devised
these meals and food tables to give you guidance on the types of foods that will aid
your transformation. These meals include a variety of foods, from sweet to savoury,
all made with simple ingredients. Who says eating clean has to be boring?!

The food recipes have been categorised in to the following four groups:

The idea is to ensure your daily calories are as close as possible to your daily
target macronutrients and calories! Alternatively, use the food tables in the guide to
prepare meals with foods of your choice to make up your daily macronutrients. T

If you find yourself pushed for time in the day and unable to eat as often as you
would like to, try to consume 50% of your daily carbohydrate intake straight after
your workout. The remaining 50% of carbohydrates can be spread through your
meals throughout the day. Most of your daily fats can also be consumed in your low
carbohydrate meals (and avoid consuming fats around your workouts - they slow
down the speed of your digestion). Lastly, keep your amount of protein in each
meal the same if possible. (4-6 meals per day)

FAQs
I always end up eating junk for lunch, or I don’t end up eating at all. What
should I do?

Lean lunches can be really quick and easy to make, especially if you are always on the go and
are short of time. If you can prepare a meal or two the night before, you will feel so much
better for it and you are less likely to eat junk foods. If you really don’t have time, try to look for
natural foods such as sweet potatoes, rice, wholemeal wraps and pasta. Avoid the chips, fried
chicken and other man-made foods.

I don't have time to go to the gym. What do you suggest?

HIIT workouts are ideal for burning loads of calories in a short amount of time. HITT stands for
High Intensity Interval Training. You can burn off more calories in 10 minutes in this style of
workout than you would on 30 minutes on a treadmill!

How much water should I be drinking?

Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy body.
Dehydration is the result of a lack of water, and surprisingly, it happens to a lot of people
today. Women should aim for a minimum of 2 litres a day. Water consumption benefits include:

- Improved digestion

- Increased metabolism

- Improved kidney function

- Healthier/ clearer skin

- Healthier joints

- Reduce Fatigue

Do I need to eat immediately after my workout?

Ideally, you want to consume your protein and carbs soon after your workout as your body
needs the nutrition to recover. If you find it hard to digest food that soon, you may supplement
a protein shake after you workout, then eat whenever you can afterwards. We do not condone
to replacing meals with supplements at any time. Supplements (if used) should be
supplemented alongside a healthy balanced diet.

What should I be looking for when food shopping?

One of the keys to getting lean is to shop lean! By this, we mean making a conscious effort to
look at food labels and buy more natural foods, as opposed to processed foods. Some food
labels include colour coding (otherwise known as the ‘traffic light’ system). Colour coded
nutritional information tells you if the food is high, medium, or low in fats, sugars and salt.

Red = High

Amber = Medium

Green = Low

What is a cheat meal/ cheat day?

You may see this phrase often chucked around on social media with photos of fast food
meals, or large amounts of processed food. The whole concept behind a ‘cheat meal’ is more
mental and for psychological reasons, as opposed to physical. If you hear about someone
using an extreme diet, a cheat meal could help satisfy their cravings. However, we promote
flexible dieting, so you are less likely to crave processed foods.

Can I still drink alcohol?

Alcohol for lot of people is part of life (not for everyone though). We don’t advise consuming
alcohol regularly, however we understand that it is a part of a lot of social activities. Alcohol =
7kcal per gram. Bare this in mind when you know you are going to be drinking, so maybe
either reduce the amount of calories you consume in the day prior to drinking, or incorporate a

workout to compensate. Ultimately, substantial amounts of alcohol will increase weight gain
and substantial amounts can lead to poor health and problems.

How can I avoid skipping meals?

Eating smaller meals more regularly will increase the speed of your metabolism. If we look at a
typical sumo wrestler for example, they will only eat 2 meals a day, each being VERY big
meals (and they weigh 150kg on average!) In short, consuming fewer meals in larger portions
will slow down your body’s metabolism, storing food as fat because your metabolism is too
slow to utilise these calories for energy. Aim to eat smaller meals and more frequently guys!

Do I have to cut carbs out of my diet? Will a ‘keto’ (no carb) diet work for me?

Ketogenic diets involve cutting out all sources of carbohydrates, and instead relying on high
sources of fat and adequate sources of protein. In the short term, this will become very
difficult because of the lack of energy. This is because your body’s ideal source of energy is
glycogen, which comes from the breakdown of carbohydrates.

So in relation to the question ‘Do I have to cut out carbs’, we strongly advise against this. Your
body needs carbohydrates for energy, and we need energy to exercise. Timing and portion
sizes are the variables which need to be focused on instead.

How do I deal with my sugar cravings?

We can’t completely turn a blind eye to sugar and avoid it at all means, because it’s
everywhere we go! However here are some tips you can use to reduce your cravings:

- Keep your water intake high

- Increase your green vegetables

- Try to avoid processed foods

- Reach for fruit when you crave sugar

Low energy issues

Slow release carbohydrates will keep your body fuelled for longer throughout the day. A lack
of exercise can also result in becoming lethargic (as most of us lead a sedentary lifestyle
whereby we are seated 7 or more hours a day). Wholemeal cereal, oats, whole grain toast and
sweet potato are just some examples of foods/meals to increase your energy levels
throughout the day.
