PHASE ONE 2 weeks People will ask you why. They will question your desire and try to influence your motivation. They will tell you to just make up your workout tomorrow; it’s not a big deal to miss just this one day. They will try to make you feel like what you are doing is silly or pointless or a waste of time. You must always remember that you are changing for yourself, to make yourself better, not them. So don’t worry about what they have to say or what they may think. You want to look back on your journey feeling accomplished that you gave everything you had from Day 1. No matter where you are starting today, at the end of this 90-day program you will feel stronger both physically and mentally, knowing that you overcame challenges that were once hard. You overcame the naysayers, and the ones that wanted you to question your dedication. I’m asking you to put it all aside, and to give me 100% for this entire program. No distractions. This is the first phase, it will last 2 weeks, 2 days off and you will repeat this pattern for the next 2 weeks, before moving into PHASE TWO. -No alcohol on this program, not even on the weekend -1 cheat meal a week, preferably on your off day -1 gallon of water a day ***Please consult with your Doctor before beginning any exercise program.

“Figure out in life what YOU want to do, not what your mom or your best friend but what YOU want. You have to trust yourself & trust your feelings. Never be afraid to fail - allow yourself to be pushed. Work as hard as you can. You never want to lose thinking that you could have done better. So always walk away knowing that you left nothing. Train hard every day, rest, and then do it better the next day.” Ashley Horner

PHASE THREE Week 8-11 You’re so close. Let’s make this count, remember to ALWAYS pull strength from the heart. That is the most powerful form. Never create a finish line for yourself, but set a breaking point where you rise above your old self and create YOU into something much greater. Take what is good and make it great. Take what is great and make it EXTRAORDINARY! Take what you have made Extraordinary and spread it like a wild fire. This will be your most intense phase. You will train in a circuit manner with the groups listed below. This may seem difficult at first but after the first week you will get the hang of it. Everything will be 15-20 reps, 3 rounds (sets) unlike PHASE TWO. You will have no resting period between sets. You can rest for 1 minute after each circuit is completed.

Below are just a few ideas on what your grocery cart should look like when you’re shopping at your market. Think of whole foods as in the least processed the food the better. Stay along the outside of the store where you will find the freshest and healthiest selections.

Fruit Red Apples Bananas Berries, frozen are fine. Grape Fruit Kiwi

You will notice in the diet plan that I recommend for you, we won’t be adding in a lot of fruits. Because fruits, although contain natural sugar, still have sugar so your meal plan will be low in fruits. I recommend blueberries because of their fibrous nutrients and they are high in antioxidants. My second choice for berries would be strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. That being said, I usually cook or eat 1/2 of a banana a day and one small apple, typically in the mornings, to make my coconut pancakes.

Zuchini Chips Ingredients: · 2 Zucchini Squash · 1 tbsp. Sea Salt · 3 tbsp. of Paprika Seasoning

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With foil, line a cookie sheet with foil. Wash your green zucchinis and cut them into thin slices.

Serve hot.

47

Baked Sweet Potato Wedges Ingredients: · 1-2 Medium Sweet Potatoes · 2 tsp. Sea Salt · 1 tbsp. of Olive Oil

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Optional: If you would like to leave the skin on the sweet potato, that’s perfectly fine. I personally like to leave the skin on the sweet potato for texture and crunchiness but the skin of the sweet potato holds most of the carbohydrates. Cut into french-fry style wedges. (Whatever ways you like, just make sure they are all similar in size). Place in a big bowl, add sea salt, add olive oil, and toss to coat well. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes on each side. Set oven to broil. Broil for 3-4 minutes until golden on top.

Brussels Sprouts In a Blanket Ingredients: · Brussels Sprouts (Pick the smaller ones so they can be bite-sized) · Low sodium turkey bacon. Cut in half length wise

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your cookie sheet with foil. Wash your brussels sprouts. Take your uncooked low sodium turkey bacon and wrap it around the brussels sprouts. Bake for 20 minutes or until bacon is done.

50

Low Carb Pizza Crust Ingredients: · 1 head of Cauliflower · 1 Egg, beaten · ½ cup of Mozzarella · 2 tbsp. Italian season · 1 tbsp. minced Garlic · 1 tsp. Sea Salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray generously with non-stick spray. Rice the cauliflower florets (in a food processor) or a grater and manually grate the florets. (This is what I do and it works just fine). Place the florets in microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. You should have approximately 1 cup of rice cauliflower. Set aside. Next, in another bowl, mix together the beaten egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and sea salt. Finally, add the rice cauliflower. Mix all of the ingredients very well. When you finish mixing, pour into a circular form (Pizza). Bake for 17-20 minutes. Once pizza is 51

done, add any additional toppings such as: already cooked chicken breast, sliced tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh spinach, and a small sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Turn your oven to BROIL and then let pizza-toppings cook for 5 minutes or until slightly toasted on top.

Grilled Stuffed Bison Ingredients: · 2 cups fresh Spinach, chopped · Garlic to taste · 1 tbsp. low fat or fat-free Feta cheese · Lean bison steak These can be made inside on the George Foreman or outside on the grill. I like to use feta cheese because of its rich flavor and it will not melt as easy as other cheese and leak out.

Directions: Prepare grill or George Foreman. Carefully take a sharp knife and create a pocket in the bison. The deeper the pocket, the better the pocket will allow for room to stuff it with spinach and feta cheese. Take your skillet and spray with non-stick spray. Sauté spinach and garlic until soft and mix in the feta cheese. Using tongs pick up the spinach mixture and stuff it inside the bison. Grill until done. cheese. Using tongs pick 52

up the spinach mixture and stuff it inside the bison. Grill until done.

Baked Honey Salmon Ingredients: · 2 tbsp. honey · Chopped Almonds · Salmon Steak

Directions: Line cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place salmon on cookie sheet skin side down. Drizzle honey on top and add chopped almonds. Bake for 10- 12 minutes

53

Guiltless Ice Cream Sandwiches Ingredients: · Low Fat Graham Crackers · Free Cool Whip · Sprinkles, if desired

Directions: Let cool whip set out to thaw just a bit. Break one graham cracker sheet in half, place slightly thawed cool whip inside and freeze for 20 minutes. If you are adding sprinkles or other outside extras, you must do this before you place in the freezer.

54

Homemade Granola Bars Ingredients: · 2 cups dry Oatmeal · 1 cup Honey · 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter · ¼ cup whole Flax Seed · ¼ cup chopped Almonds · Dried Blueberries (optional)

Directions: Melt together honey and peanut butter on low heat, in a medium saucepan. Add in oatmeal, mix well, then add in any other ingredients, mixing well and continually making sure it is not burning. Smash down in a small pan. Place in freezer for 20 minutes or until firm. Cut into small squares. These will keep frozen for some time. Please keep in mind this in not a low calorie food.

Cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes until slightly crispy & golden. Transfer to oven to keep warm. Sauce · 1 cup plain 0% Greek Yogurt · 2 tbsp. finely chopped red onion

· Pinch of sea salt · Squeeze lemon juice · 1 packet of Stevia 57

Lean Green Machine Protein Shake like Nutiva brand for hemp protein. Please keep in mind that you can substitute with vanilla whey protein. If your workplace conducts drug testing, you may want to stick with the whey protein powder. The hemp could show up positive on a drug test!

Ingredients: · 1 serving of Hemp protein · 2 cups spinach · 6 ice cubes · ½ cup water · 2 packet of Stevia (or if you like it sweeter you can add more) · 2 tbsp. of PB2 (dehydrated peanut butter)

Chicken Sandwich Ingredients: · Ezekiel Bread or skinny bun (100 calories, and it’s high in fiber. I personally like to use both.) · Boiled chicken breast or chicken tenders · Sugar-Free Apricot Jelly · 6 Spinach leaves · Laughing Cow Light Cheese (only 35 calories)

59

GUILTLESS Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients: · ½ cup Splenda · ½ Natural Peanut butter (the kind with the oil separation on top when you buy it)

Directions: You really can’t substitute Splenda. I have tried and they just turn out a little different, but still good nonetheless. If you choose not to use Splenda, then try Stevia. You would only need about 5 packets. Mix well. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. **Be careful these are very HOT when you take them out of the oven. Blaine burned the inside of his mouth entirely the other night! Let them cool for at least 10 minutes. **

61

Coconut Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders Ingredients: · Thawed chicken tenders · ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

(make sure it’s thinly sliced, depending on the brand it can come in pretty big chunks. You want them to be small so they will stick to the chicken breast.)

· ½ cup Coconut flour · Dash of Sea Salt · Ginger powder · 3 Egg whites

Directions: Gently beat the egg white together place in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix together ginger powder, sea salt, coconut flour & shredded coconut. Line your cookie sheet with foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pick up your thawed chicken tenders or chicken breast, pat dry with a paper towel, start by dipping each side in the egg white mixture then into the coconut flour mixture.

Stuffed Bell Peppers Ingredients: · 4 Red Bell Pepper, (Orange or yellow is good too) · 1 pound Lean Ground Turkey · ½ cup Chopped scallions · 1 tsp. Garlic · 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning · Pepper to taste · 1 Zucchini, shredded

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash your bell pepper and cut off the top. Scrape out the insides of the bell pepper and wash out. Make sure to save the top of the bell pepper. Heat up your skillet to medium high. Cook ground turkey and chopped scallions until done. Drain out excess liquid. Mix together turkey, shredded zucchini, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a medium bowl. Scoop up the ground turkey mixture and place inside the bell peppers using a spoon. Take a high walled baking dish and place the bell pepper with lids inside close together so they will not fall over.

63

Home Made Protein Bars Ingredients: · 4 scoops Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Powder · ½ cup natural Peanut Butter · 2 cups Oatmeal · ¼ cup Water or less (maybe 2 tbsp.)

Directions: Mix all ingredients together in a kitchen aid mixer. Add cinnamon if you would like. Other additional items could include dark chocolate chips, almonds, unsweetened coconut, and dried blueberries (Keep in mind the more add-ins, the higher the calories per bar). After you have mixed the ingredients well, smash down into a pan with the backside of a spatula. Stick in freezer for 10 minutes. Pull out and cut into squares. Store in the refrigerator.

64

Kale Chips Ingredients: · · · ·

Kale Paprika Sea Salt Spray Olive Oil

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet using foil. Pull the kale leaves off the stems and wash them while vigorously kneading them in your hands. Pat dry with a paper towel and spray with olive oil. Coat with paprika and sea salt to taste (I like a lot of paprika). Bake for 12-15 minutes (I usually toss half way through baking). You will know when it is done when it is crispy to touch. Make sure to not over bake (leaves will turn brown). Over baking will cause them to have a real bitter taste.

65

Yogurt Bites Ingredients: · 1 cup Greek Yogurt · 1 tbsp. Honey

Directions: Mix well and dollop on parchment paper (dime size). Leave in freezer for 20 minutes or until completely frozen. Enjoy!!!

66

Mashed Cauliflower Ingredients: · 1-2 heads of Cauliflower floret cut off and washed · 2 tbsp. of Coconut Oil · Sea Salt to taste (approximately 1 tsp.) · 2 tbsp. Garlic

Directions: Boil the cauliflower for 10 minutes. Once it begins to boil, drain, and place into vita-mix or food processor. Add in the 2 tbsp. of coconut oil (This gives it its butter taste). Next, add sea salt and garlic; blend until smooth.

67

Apple Cinnamon & Banana Pancakes Ingredients:

Directions:

· ¼ cup shredded apples (I like red) · ½ Banana, mashed · 1 Egg, beaten · 2 tbsp. chopped Walnuts · 1 tsp. or less of cinnamon · 1 tbsp. of Coconut flour · If you like a little sweeter, you can add 1 tbsp. of honey or 1 packet of Stevia (For those of you who are watching your sugar intake).

Heat your skillet to medium heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and cook like a pancake. Additional toppings can include both banana walnuts and cinnamon. Please keep in mind, if you are trying to cut back on your calories I would pass on the additional toppings. You can use honey for syrup or sugar-free pancake syrup.

68

Black & White Ingredients: · Sugar-Free/Fat-Free Chocolate Pudding Box · Fat-Free Milk · Cool Whip, thawed

Directions: Mix sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding following the instructions at the back of box. Next, place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to make sure it has set. Get 4 clear pretty glasses (I like to use red wine glasses or flute glasses). Start by making a bottom layer of the chocolate pudding followed by a nice thin layer of the cool whip. Repeat steps until glass is full. Place in your refrigerator until ready to serve.

69

Chicken Salad Ingredients: · 2 cups Greek Yogurt plain, zero % fat · 1 cup chopped Celery · ½ cup chopped Red Grapes · 2 cups diced Chicken breast (Drained from the can is fine) · ¼ cup chopped Almonds · ½ cup chopped Carrots

Directions: Mix all ingredients together. Serve by itself or place inside a high fiber wrap. Pepper to taste.

70

Lemon and Fresh Dill Tilapia Ingredients: · · · ·

Tilapia fillet 1 tbsp. Lemon Zest 2 tbsp of fresh Dill 1 tsp. Garlic

Directions: If your Tilapia is frozen allow fish to sit out and defrost. Evenly sprinkle your lemon zest, fresh dill, and garlic over the filet. Line your cookie sheet with tin foil and coat with non-stick spray. Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes or until completely cooked through and flakey.

71

Blueberry Crumble Ingredients: · 1 cup each of frozen blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries · 3 cups of dry Oatmeal · ½ cup Cinnamon · 1 tbsp. of Nutmeg · ½ cup Splenda · Fat-free Cool Whip to serve on top

Directions: Preheat oven to 475 Degrees. Get a 9x9 baking dish and evenly mix and spread out all the berries at the bottom of the baking dish. Evenly spread the dry uncooked oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Splenda on top. Bake for 45 minutes. Sometimes I like to add chopped almonds on top of the oatmeal mixture. Although it makes for a good crunch, keep in mind the additional calories you are adding. Also, you can replace Splenda with agave or honey.

72

No Carb Paleo Spaghetti Ingredients: · Spaghetti squash Marinara sauce · 1 tbsp. Sea Salt · 2 tbsp. Garlic · 2 tbsp. Italian seasoning · 2 tbsp. Olive Oil

Directions: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place your spaghetti squash in the microwave and microwave for 8 minutes to soften hard shell. Take a big knife and carefully cut in half-length wise. Scoop out the membrane, just like you would a pumpkin. Sprinkle sea salt, garlic, and Italian seasoning evenly on the insides of the squash. Line your cookie sheet with foil. I use a cookie sheet with a lip to prevent liquid from spilling out. Fill the very bottom of the cookie sheet with water. Place each half of the squash upside down (hollow side down, shell up) on the cookie sheet. Bake for 45 minutes. Once the squash is done, it will be very hot. Gently scrape the insides with a fork; it will come out looking like spaghetti. Serve with marinara sauce. I usually add ground turkey breast or chicken breast, to go with this meal. 73

Turkey burgers Ingredients: · 1 pound of thawed lean ground Turkey breast · 3 Zucchini Squash, shredded · 2 tbsp. minced Garlic · 3 tbsp. Italian seasoning

Directions: In a large bowl mix the ground turkey breast with the shredded zucchini squash-minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Mix well with your hands, careful not to knead too much. Make into palm-size burger patties. Heat oven to broil. Line cookie sheet with tin foil and bake each side for 8 minutes. Serve with Ezekiel toast, or Skinny buns, and your favorite burger add-ons.

74

Low Carb Seaweed Wrap Ingredients: · Seaweed wrapper · Lettuce · Asparagus · Grilled chicken breast or salmon · Sautéed onions · Bell peppers · Carrot sticks

Directions: I like the chicken breast or grilled salmon and veggies to be just hot off the grill. You can pick your favorite vegetable melody to put inside, wrap the seaweed and enjoy!

75

Asian Lettuce Wraps Ingredients: · Shrimp · Lime, fresh · 1 tbsp. Garlic · 2 tbsp. whole Flax Seed · Carrot sticks · 2 tbsp. of Soy sauce, low sodium · Large Lettuce wraps

Directions: Sauté everything at one time except for the lettuce. Place all the ingredients in a lettuce leaf.

Enjoy!

Introduction

Welcome to the most important part of this program, your diet. Yes, it is true what they say, “abs are made in the kitchen.” It’s so important that you learn how to eat clean. To appreciate the way your body runs on healthy whole foods. You will notice that I have only put diet guidelines from Monday-Friday. The weekends, you need to learn to adjust your lifestyle. Whether you are out with friends or headed to a party with finger foods on Saturday night, it’s important that you learn to pick the foods that are best for you in those situations. I highly recommend that you keep your cheat meals on the weekends and look forward to them during the week when you’re having cravings. I put the diet guidelines below to give you an idea of your meal preparations. However, if you want to substitute a similar food, that is perfectly fine. If you’re feeling like you’re not satisfied, add extra calories. Just keep it clean, and stick with adding lean proteins and vegetables. These are food ideas and meals that I am only recommending, not prescribing, to you.

79

Phase one 2 weeks

You have to begin to look at your body like a car. You need to give it the best possible fuel you can find. If you were to put oil in the gas tank, your car wouldn’t go very far right? Or work at all. When I say whole foods, I’m talking about anything from the Earth, good fats, whole grains, lean proteins and loads of fruits and veggies. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be hard or expensive or boring. Just get creative and learn to love the way your body runs on a clean system. This first phase is just going to be about you really cleaning up your diet. Throwing out all the extras, balancing your meals and learning to eat clean. This first phase, it’s not important to count your calories or serving sizes. Just no matter what you put into your body, I want it to be whole, meaning not processed. I want you to start really focusing on making an effort to eat every 2-3 hours and incorporating a balance of proteins and carbohydrates. Your water should be at or close to a gallon a day. Yes, that means you might need to carry that gallon of water around with you, to make sure you get the entire gallon in.

Make sure you have your cheat meal on the weekends and still no alcohol on this program. Water should be at a gallon still and if you are interested in getting on a fat burner, I recommend Super HD by

Cellucor and R3 for recovery from Cellucor as well. Preworkout will become your friend at this point. If you feel like you need a little boost of energy before you hit the weights, I recommend C4 also, by Cellucor. None of these are required on the program, only something to consider. I am just letting you know the brands that I love.

Finally the End

(There is never an End) It’s important that you understand that even I have days that I mess up. There have been times when I am 4 days out from a show and I will walk right to the cabinet, open a jar of peanut butter and smell it. I usually have to make myself get out of the house to avoid temptation. You must realize that you will always have temptations no matter where you are. It is going to be hard. 95% of the time, I put that lid right back on the peanut butter jar and tell myself: “just a few more days”. Sometimes, my willpower isn’t strong enough and I give in. I don’t beat myself up for it and I certainly don’t quit. You must learn to live in the lifestyle of eating clean. Think to yourself. Eat to Live, Not Live to Eat.
