Making adjustments to your diet when needed is one of the secrets to getting fast and consistent results.
I'm going to show you what types of adjustments to make to your diet when your results start to slow during any given week. Diet adjustments will be made on a weekly basis as needed.
Diet Plan Adjustments You Can Make
Let's take a look at the types of adjustments you can make to your diet (in no particular order):
1. Increase or decrease calories
When your goal is building muscle, your number one option each week is increasing the calories if you didn't reach your goal for the week.
For a goal of fat loss, you will increase aerobic activity first and then decrease calories when needed.
2. Change ratio of protein, carbs, and fats
Once you have some experience, you can experiment with slightly different ratios of protein, carbohydrates, and fats in your diet.
For example, a carb sensitive person will do better with less carbs and more protein and fat in their diet.
Beginners to the WLC System should always follow the basic diet and never make adjustments to macronutrient ratios until they have gained at least a few months of experience with the basic diet.
3. Improve food choices
You can usually fix a lot of things by simply improving your food choices. If you're having any problems at all losing fat or building muscle, improve your food choices.
You should always strive to improve your diet until you reach near perfection.
A perfect diet is filled with lean protein sources, natural sources of carbohydrates, and essential fats.
If you have anything in your diet that doesn't follow the guidelines laid out in this diet and nutrition section, please get rid of that food. It's probably hurting your progress.
For example, protein bars are not a healthy food and will not help your progress. Get rid of them. A better choice would be a lean protein source or whey protein.
4. Change meal plan structure
The meal plan layouts given within the WLC System can be adjusted. For example, starchy carbohydrates can be cut out of the diet every day after a specific time of day (5 PM as an example).
This is especially useful for fat loss diets.
You can eat most of your carbohydrates during the morning hours and taper carb intake to lower levels as the day goes on. Again, do not change the basic diet until you have some experience.
These are just small tweaks that may give the experienced person slightly better results. The basic diet works very well as laid out.
5. Increase or decrease number of meals
You will be eating about 6 meals per day on the basic diet plan for the WLC System.
If you are trying to build muscle and need more calories at a certain point in your weight lifting cycle, you may find it useful to add an extra meal to your day — try 7 meals per day instead of 6.
If fat loss is your goal, you might want to cut out the meal right before you go to bed and only have 5 meals per day. This may help you get rid of those last few pounds of fat.
