IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. ​AFTER MEAL 5 ​you must consume ​ONE​ serving of the ​FIGHTER​ ​DETOX JUICE
(recipe given below). However, you will not put an apple in the daily juice like you
will on Sunday ( detox day)

2. For those who are buying the Protein Shake, please ensure you purchase a
WHEY AMINO ISOLATE​ protein powder. Most recommended brands are ‘​Whey
Metabolic Extreme 60​’, ‘​Isopure​’ and ‘​On​’. Make sure you get it in CHOCOLATE as
that is the flavor required for the ​Breakfast​ ​Protein Power Pump Shake​- if you
prefer any other flavor let us know and we will send you a recipe to suit that.

Karachi:​ The protein powder is easily available at GNC (Zamzama), Agha’s


Supermarket, Farid’s Pharmacy or TEE-EMM Mart (Creek Vista)

Lahore:​ The protein powder is easily available at GNC ( M.M Alam Road), Al- Fatah
Super Store ( Liberty Market)

3. ​Karachi:​ Whole Wheat Atta, Brown Rice, Oat Bran, Gogi Berries and Brown
Pasta are all easily available from Neco's.

Lahore:​ Whole Wheat Atta, Brown Rice, Oat Bran and Brown Pasta are all easily
available from Jalal Sons ( Main Market) or Al Fatah ( Liberty Market). ​Please
ensure that the brand used for Brown Atta/ Brown Rice is ‘Daali’. Diabetic Atta
and Diet Atta cannot be used.

4. You must get ​1000 mg L Glutamine pills​ from GNC, ​1800mg BCAA pills​ (Branch
Chain Amino Acids) and a good ​Multi-Vitamin​ to support your immune system
throughout this workout. With breakfast have one pill of your Multi-Vitamin. Have
one BCAA and one L-Glutamine pill before the workout and one each after the
workout. ​(If you are having the Protein shake for breakfast you need not have
the L-Glutamine and BCCA pills as the two are present in the shake. However,
you must still have the Multi-Vitamin). ​For women the recommended Multi Vit is
‘Women’s Ultra Mega Active’ from GNC.

5. You must buy a ​Food Weighing Scale​ from Agha's (​Karachi​) or Al- Fatah (
Lahore​). This is very important as you need to weigh your meat ​before​ cooking it.
You must also only use ​Measuring Cups​ to measure your ​uncooked quantities​ of
Brown Rice, Brown Atta etc. and do not use any old cup you find in your kitchen.
6. All ​Protein​ used ( for example Chicken/ Fish/ Beef) must be ​SKINNED,
DEBONED AND MEASURED ON THE WEIGHING SCALE BEFORE COOKING.

* YOU MAY CONSUME ​BEEF​ FOR YOUR PROTEIN AS WELL, HOWEVER YOU
MUST ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT USE BEEF FOR MORE THAN 1 MEAL IN A DAY*

7.​ To MEAL 4 AND 5 please make sure to add a GREEN SALAD ( using items
mentioned in Carbohydrates Group 2 in UNLIMITED QUANTITIES). This will aid
immensely in FAT LOSS and keep you feeling and looking healthy.

8. For ​PRE​ and ​POST WORK OUT NUTRITION​ blend ​ONE SCOOP OF WHEY
PROTEIN POWDER​ in ​TWO GLASSES of WATER​. Then divide it into ​TWO
SERVINGS​. Drink ​ONE SERVING IMMEDIATELY BEFORE​ the workout and ​THE
OTHER SERVING IMMEDIATELY AFTER​ the workout. This is very important to
prevent muscle break down while you are following the intense work out
routines.

Here is an example Meal Plan for you (you must follow the timings of the meals
given in this example – ​IF YOU ARE THE MORNING CLASS THE TIMINGS FOR
YOUR MEALS ARE MENTIONED IN YOUR EMAIL​):

Have a glass of lemon water as soon as you wake up and a cup of black coffee or
green tea (no sugar or milk)

Meal 1​: 9.30 am - Breakfast

Meal 2​: 12.30pm - Chicken Sandwich in brown bread

Meal 3​: 3.30 pm - Chicken Keema with roti

Meal​ 4​: 6.30 pm - Chicken Breast with Group 2 Carbs (choose a variety of them)

7.30 pm - ​Work out

8.00 pm - ​Work out complete

Meal 5​: 9.30 pm - Chicken Kebabs with Group 2 Carbs

After Meal 5 consume one serving of Detox Juice


Saturday MEAL 3 (3.30pm) is CHEAT MEAL​. You can eat whatever you like for a
bracket of three hours (example pizza and a brownie or burger and fries with
pudding – anything you have been craving all week). However, at 6.30pm you
must​ have your regular Meal 4 before the work out and then continue with Meal
5 etc.

Sunday is a detox day​- you will not be consuming any food (not even tea or
coffee) or working out. Instead, you must consume the detox juice (recipe
provided below), 6 times through the day, every 3 hours. The recipe provided
below will make 1 mug of the juice which will only suffice for 1 of the 6 meal
substitutes. You must make 6 mugs (one for each meal substitute). Please ensure
you use a ​vegetable juicer​ to make your detox juice and NOT a blender!

All the Masalas and Recipes below are an example. You can use Recipes and
Masalas based on your own taste, for example spices and onions. However, you
must stick to your fat, protein and carb requirement for each meal as provided
above.

You can take the quantities (of proteins, carbs and fats) given above and use your
own recipes when cooking your food if you do not like our recipes.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure to eat a meal 60 to 90 minutes before the workout (so if the workout
is at 7. 30pm, make sure you have eaten a meal at either 6pm or 6.30pm) and
also make sure that you eat a meal 60 to 90 minutes after your workout has
ended as 60 to 90 minutes after the workout is crucial for fat burn and eating
anything immediately will greatly alter and interfere with this process (so if your
workout ends at 8.15pm, eat the next meal at either 9.15pm or 9.45pm)

Make sure you always note the EXACT time at which the workout has ended so
that you can be spot on with the meal timings as mentioned in the above
paragraph.

If you are doing these workouts at your own time at home make sure you follow
the same guidelines.

The groups mentioned above on the ‘your quantities’ page have been put
together in the list below (on the next page that immediately follows). Please
refer to this list every time you have to make a meal to avoid mistakes.

The Fighter Detox


Use a ​JUICER MACHINE (and not a blender) ​to extract juice from all the foods below
and mix together:
1 medium beetroot
3-5 medium carrots
3-4 celery sticks (use the whole stick and not only the leaves)
10-12 spinach leaves
Mint to taste
1 cucumber
1 lemon’s juice to each serving
On ​Sunday only​, add ONE APPLE (with skin) to each serving of juice. The detox juice you will have from
Monday to Saturday will NOT have an apple in it- all other ingredients must be added though.

LET’S GO:
1) ​Eradicate all junk food, sauces, sugar, desserts, white flour, white bread, high fat dairy
products and weaknesses from your fridge, kitchenette, bed side drawers and even your secret
stash! Replace these with more fulfilling alternative such as black coffee, lots of water bottles,
green vegetables, healthy fats like nuts and peanut butter and lean cuts of protein. Now you
will never have an excuse or the option to binge on processed and packaged high calorie foods.

2) ​You have to say that you can, and you will! Setting goals is the first step to turn the invisible
into visible. To set a goal visualize the body you need and desire and then in order to work
towards that keep reminding yourself why you started! We suggest you maintain a scrap book
or daily/weekly log of how you feel, what you did right and what you did wrong so that you
have a record of the process that turned your dreams into a reality.

3) ​Ensure that you are working towards speeding up your metabolism and that requires small
and regular meals. Make sure you have a meal every 3 hours. Start with a hefty breakfast no
longer than up ONE HOUR within waking up. We insist that you DO NOT skip any of your five
meals or compromise on your recommended quantities. We are battling a lifelong habit of bad
eating and we only have a few weeks to do so - let’s keep our head in the game against all
odds!

4)​ Always check to see if each meal has one portion of protein, one portion of fat and one
portion of carbohydrates. For meal 4 and 5 carbohydrates will come from green vegetables
ONLY so don’t shy away from raw, green salads or adding inflated amounts of local vegetables
like bhindi (okra), palak ( spinach), baingan ( egg plant), turai ( bottle gourd) etc to your meals,

5) ​Replace MILK TEA, MILK COFFEE, sugary beverages (yes, even those nasty diet ones), fruit
juices (fresh or packed) and energy drinks for WATER. Try and have no less than TWO LITRES of
water each day. You may also have unlimited amounts of green tea, black tea and black coffee
(as well as herbal tea, flower tea or any other clear tea) throughout the day.

6) ​Take an oath now to avoid sugar, honey, sweeteners and fruit sugars. Use Stevia instead.

7) ​Trans / Hydrogenated and Saturated Fats ( Bad fats) need to be given the boot! Instead use
lean cuts of meat and remove any leftover fat from your chicken before cooking

8) ​Stay clear of full fat milk or any other full fat dairy products. Even where low fat dairy
products are concerned try and avoid them in large amounts.

9) ​Alcohol is a big HELL NO! Alcohol is high in calories and consuming alcohol slows down your
metabolic processes for a whole two days after wards so let’s just stay sober for now!

10) ​Let’s stop fooling ourselves. Most sauces that you can buy off a counter are high in
carbohydrate or fat content and therefore must be avoided as they add unwanted calories to
meals that would otherwise be oh so healthy. So you must stay away from Nandos type sauces,
salad dressings, mayo , tomato sauce, BBQ sauce and so on. Instead use mustard, low carb
honey mustard, fresh chilies, hot sauce/ tabasco sauce, vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider,
lemon juice, soy sauce, herbs, local masalas and up to 2 table spoons fat free yogurt for added
flavor to meals.

11) ​Be the man with a plan. In order to avoid skipping meals you can pre prepare your
daily/weekly meals and refrigerate or freeze them until they need to be consumed. This might
not be as satisfying an option but it sure is the smart one! Especially if you have a demanding
career and work around the clock it is handy to have prepared meals so you don’t waste time
making them and​ ​can just reach for the right thing at the right time. An example is to make a
bunch of Kababs and freeze them, then weigh and cook in your olive oil quantity when the time
comes!

Let the taming begin!
