Somersize Reference Guide

Somersizing Reference Guide

If you've been Somersizing for awhile, this is a reminder of the plan...

1- Eliminate all Funky Foods.
2- Eat Fruits alone, on an empty stomach.
3- Eat Proteins/Fats with Veggies.
4- Eat Carbos with Veggies and no fat.
5- Keep Proteins/Fats separate from Carbos.
6- Wait three hours between meals if switching from a proteins/Fats meal to a Carbos meal, or vice versa.
7- do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day, and eat until you feel satisfied and comfortably full.
