FYB 3.0 Nutrition Handbook

Thousands of members have transformed their bodies with the Fluidform Your Body 6-week method. Every year we embark on a 6-week program of movement and nutrition to cleanse and nourish our bodies from the inside out, building the foundations for a healthy life. We believe that the combination of consistent exercise and a balanced diet is the key to seeing results and achieving our wellness goals.

This year, we are taking the Fluidform Your Body challenge to the next level. Introducing a 7-day cleanse detox to kickstart the challenge, followed by a 14-day muscle strengthening and conditioning meal plan, and finishing with a 21-day balanced meal plan. The structure of the Fluidform Your Body meal plan is designed to cleanse, nourish and sustain you, to transform your life and Fluidform your body.

The foods we eat play an important role in both our physical and mental wellbeing. 

THE PHYSICAL BENEFITS FROM FOOD

  • Protein – Protein builds and maintains strong and healthy muscles, and builds enzymes and proteins for the body’s cellular processes. Adequate protein intake boosts metabolism. Protein also helps keep you satisfied between meals and reduces cravings. Great animal sources of protein to consider include: lean beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, fish and eggs. Vegan sources of protein to consider include: organic tofu, tempeh, chickpeas and beans.
  • Carbohydrates – Carbs provide the body with glucose which is converted to energy and used by our body’s cells. Carb requirements differentiate based on activity level and body mass. Great sources of carbs to consider include: whole grains such as rice, quinoa and oats, potato, sweet potato, legumes
  • Fats – Good fats nourish the brain and nervous system. Fats are integral for brain function, hormone function, healthy weight and inflammatory response within the body. Fats also support skin health. Great sources of fats to consider include: coconut products/coconut oil, tahini, ghee, avocado/avocado oil, nuts and nut butters, seeds and salmon.
  • Vitamins and minerals- protect and enhance immunity, cardiovascular system, bodily functions and menstrual health 
  • Fibre – support digestive system and energy levels 
  • Antioxidants – reduce risk of disease and maintain healthy skin, hair and nails 
  • Fermented Foods – Fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, miso and kefir help to support a healthy gut flora balance. Fermented foods give your body a healthy dose of probiotics which are crucial to digestion. 
  • Sugar – Our bodies require sugar to survive however in large quantities or in the wrong form sugar can be damaging. When using sugar consider natural forms including raw honey, pure maple syrup and medjool dates
