The Nutrifitx System’s Nutrition Plan is based around choosing high quality foods, avoiding toxins and inflammatory foods, and timing meals and foods to work with our bodies’ natural cycles. While timing your foods is definitely not as important as choosing the right foods, timing your meals this way can really accelerate your results and help you fine tune your health and physique. It also boosts energy and helps you feel brighter, clearer, and more present.

In the Nutrifitx System, we offer a full breakdown of each of our 5 (or 6) meals, what foods to prioritize, what supplements to take, and even a food-by-food timing guide to create your own meal plans. We also provide specially formulated recipes that are a no-brainer way to help you plan your week. If you’ve seen our recipes, you may have noticed the Nutrifitx Members’ Scale section of our recipes.

The Nutrifitx Scale was created to help you easily choose and plan your meals. Each recipe is formulated for metabolic and gut health and is free of toxins and chemicals. We provide these recipes to make it super easy to follow the system.

The Nutrifitx Scale

This is the signature Nutrifitx Scale. At a glance, you can see what time of day to eat which food or recipe. You’ll notice that our meal coding system correlates directly with this scale. Using the color coding system in combination with the scale is the easiest way to choose meals and foods quickly and efficiently. The color coding system is a great at-a-glance way to ensure you’re eating the right meal at the right time. But it isn’t always so black and white. The meal coding system is the optimal time of day to eat a food/recipe. The scale shows you how you can increase your meal flexibility. It’s all about food freedom and making your own choices – these are the tools to help you do that.

The scale is broken up into 2 main food groups: morning foods (yellow/orange) and evening foods (all blues). Mid-day foods are a combination of morning and evening foods. When it comes to the Nutrifitx System, you can focus on these two groups.

Morning foods are intended to help you both stabilize your blood sugar and prime the body for your day and balance any energy or caffeine supplementation.

Evening foods provide you with compound, high impact nutrition for the brain and body. They help balance blood sugar spikes, provide micronutrients, and aid in restoration and recovery.

Organizing your meals in this way is the secret to effortless health and weight loss. Doing this will reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, and improve body composition – and that’s just with food and nutrition! (Remember: we’re not even considering active living and stress reduction at this point.)

The basic result is this: high calorie, high carbohydrate, slow digestible foods in the morning fuel your body all day long; and protein, fat, and vegetables prepare your body for rest and aid in restoration. (But remember, you must choose Nutrifitx Approved foods for this to work.)

Reading the Nutrifitx Scale

The Nutrifitx Scale can guide you to food freedom. The Scale (and our food-by-food timing guide) shows you exactly what to eat at what time of the day – whether you’re using our recipes or choosing your own. You have freedom and flexibility in creating your meal plans, because we show you exactly how to make those healthy choices. The scale also helps you transition into this lifestyle without having to memorize the entire system or the science behind food timing.

Balancing Each Meal

If the Nutrifitx Scale and our food-by-food timing guide isn’t quite enough freedom for you or if you have an event or gathering coming, the one thing you’ll need to commit to memory is how to balance your plate.

Each meal should contain:

• Unrefined carbohydrates (sprouted whole grain breads, brown rice, quinoa, potatoes, beans, etc.)
• Healthy fats (olive oil, avocados, coconut, butter in moderation, etc.)
• Lean proteins (Nutrifitx Approved meats, soy-based proteins, protein powders, etc.)
• Fiber (An easy way to remember this: Fiber foods are whole plant foods. Fiber is undigestible plant material.)

You can find a complete guide to Nutrifitx Approved fat, protein, and carb sources in the Nutrifitx System.

A meal is considered balanced when it has all four: carbs, fat, protein, and fiber. This is because the combination does not spike your blood sugar. Balanced blood sugar is one of the keys to metabolic health – and maintaining a balanced blood sugar is one of the BEST ways to ensure you’re not trapping fat in your body and that you’re keeping your hormones in balanced as well.

To make this easy, here are a few scales to help you understand when to eat which food group:

Now, while this gives you a good overview of what to eat at what times, it’s important to remember that it’s not so cut and dry. If you don’t want to worry about it or think about it and you just want to get started right away, go ahead and follow this like it’s law. But remember, when it’s time to expand on your journey, there are some exceptions.

The scale is based on the glycemic index of foods and how its calories are turned into energy. The glycemic index tells us how much a food will spike our blood sugar. A higher blood sugar spike is higher on the glycemic index. When you combine foods together, the glycemic indices of each food blend to become the glycemic load. So, even a meal with one high glycemic ingredient can be balanced out when adding protein, fat, and carbs. We also factor in the speed at which a food digests – slower digesting foods provide sustained energy.

So, let’s take the example of grains.

Typically, the Nutrifitx System would tell you to avoid grains after lunch most days. This is based on the idea that a grain is slowly digestible providing sustained energy (potentially interfering with sleep, increasing stress levels), and some grains may spike your blood sugar.

However, quinoa is an example of an exception. It has an extremely low glycemic index, it’s loaded in micronutrients and fiber, and it’s even got some fat. That’s because quinoa is what’s called a “pseudograin.” It’s actually a seed, but it’s consumed and tastes like a grain.

There are tons of these exceptions, which is why it’s so easy and beneficial for you to have the food-by-food timing scale and a basic understanding of the Nutrifitx System.

You can use the information above to kickstart your weight loss journey. This makes it easy for you to make healthy choices without really having to think about it or memorize any science or nutrition information. Using this eating pattern is a total game changer!
