♦︎ The Value of Mono-Meals ♦︎
--------------------------------
One food. All meals. Several days. The Coach outlines the benefits and guidelines of “mono-meals”: a single food eaten as an entire meal for a few days as a healthy, convenience, gimmick-free weight-control method.

♦︎♦︎ Diet doesn’t need to be complicated. This is a simple approach. ♦︎♦︎

- Benefits:
• Convenient
• No number-crunching of calories or macros.
• Simplifies life and approach to diet.
• Great way to kickstart a weight loss program and begin an ongoing healthy diet strategy. Not a gimmick.
• Terrific for people who are not in control of their own schedules, like business travelers.
• Can jumpstart a weight-loss program.

- Two reasons mono-meals work well:
1) Aid digestion.
2) Re-connects you to your biofeedback: hunger-satiety feedback loops. Forces eating only when hungry.

- Guidelines:
• Limit meals to one [healthy] food and one food only for a few days (nine days up to as long as three weeks.)
• Select whole foods that are unprocessed and nutrient-dense. Good choices would be:
-Brown rice.
-Potatoes or sweet potatoes.
-Roasted, unsalted nuts.
-Soft fruits like bananas. During a recent business trip, Scott ate seven to nine bananas for lunch each day.
• Broccoli, carrots, or other fibrous veggies would be poor choices for mono-meals because they’re not as energy-dense as the others listed.
• Choose something that’s simple to prepare and simple to consume.
• Eat until you’re satisfied.
• Diet doesn’t need to be complicated. This is a simple approach.
