The Low Carb Program Basics
Joining the 16hrs For Life program requires a 3 month commitment whereby you entrench a healthy eating lifestyle which you will carry with you for the rest of your life. We focus on three elements as low carb basics:
Nutrition
We focus our efforts on eating whole foods that are fresh such as meats, cruciferous vegetables, dairy, nuts and low sugar fruits. We avoid all forms of natural sugar, processed sugars and refined carbohydrates.
Fasting
Fasting is one of the oldest dietary interventions in the world, and modern science confirms it can have a profoundly beneficial influence on your health. Your body actually down regulates protein catabolism and up regulates growth hormones in response to fasting.
Exercise
Although nutrition and fasting are the most important components of your overall health, exercise has some amazing benefits. When done correctly, you can reap the benefits of an increased metabolism and burn additional calories while you sleep!

This way of eating has improved my overall health and I feel so much better. The idea of fasting was very daunting in the beginning, but it soon became routine and I’m never hungry like I thought I would be. It’s a new and exciting lifestyle.

I lost 12.5 kg on the program and I'm still losing. I've already managed to lose a further 4 kg on my own. I feel light and energetic. My quality of sleep is amazing.
