ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
I created this ebook as a response to all the messages I get regarding how did I start and
what did I do. This is a week plan starting point to change your life, to be your better self
and to start the path for healthy habits. 70% of this ebook is focused on a meal plan since
this will be the most important step, remember that no matter how good you are at
exercising if you don’t have a clean diet your efforts will be in vain.
The aim is to stop thinking about this meal plan as a diet and instead see it as your new
day to day eating habit.
The exercises involve strength training to build lean muscle mass and help burn fat.
Don’t be afraid to lift weights I promise you it works and it also avoids excess skin
sagginess. Workouts are scheduled 3 days a week for four weeks.
To see results using this program it is vital to combine them with a clean meal plan.
I’m sure that if you follow this ebook, by the end of the month you will not only notice the
difference on the scale but also in your clothes.
The meal plan is close to what I eat on a daily basis, and the exercises are tailored for
beginners. For more advanced workouts I have other ebooks
I also provide a personalized service, contact info@angelacrickmore.com for more
information.
“Don’t wish for a good body,

work for it.”

MY STORY
I have always been naturally slim up until my twenties when my bad eating habits and
an unhealthy lifestyle made the weight on the scale slowly creep up. At my heaviest, I
weighed over 182lbs (82.5kg) and it was then that I knew that I didn’t want to continue
down this path any longer, I was at the point where even walking short distances was a
struggle.
So with a friend’s help, I started to make changes, to get healthy and to slim down.
Before the decision of getting healthy, my diet was pretty bad, basically consisting of ice
cream, pasta, rice, milk, bread, cereal, potato, fajita, tacos, some fruits, fried food, beer,
cocktails, and caipirinhas.
I switched all that for fish, chicken, turkey, steak, white egg, sweet potato, cottage chee-
se, oats, vegetables, avocado, nuts, and seeds.
You definitely do not need to starve yourself in order to be healthy and slim.
At the begging I was ashamed of going to the gym, I decided to go jogging but I was
so heavy that running wasn’t an option as I was damaging my knees, I was taking long
walks instead. 3 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour I would put on my headphones
and just go to the park. I managed to lose 77lbs (35kg) in 8 months!
I now love bodybuilding and going to the gym, and don’t get me wrong, to have a ripped
and defined body you need to put a lot of work and dedication and it takes time and a
lot of effort but you can lose weight and look amazing just by moving more and eating
the right food.

BEFORE YOU START
1 - Go for it!
The decision to get healthy takes about 3 to 4 seconds, but it takes about 2 to 3 weeks to
build a habit. Power through this first phase and build GOOD HABITS.
2 - Doubting that you will be able to do it

This is absolutely normal, thinking that you will never get to the level that your head
envisions, but you need to keep this thought on the back of your head and carry on with
your goals.
3 - Set small but steady goals

Don’t be too harsh on yourself, set goals that are achievable and if you “mess up” don’t
beat yourself up, people do mistakes, learn with them and don’t quit straight away.
3) Conquer Doubt
You can do anything you set your mind to. That is what you just told yourself. This is
where the mind and body connect. Use the workouts to be a catalyst in all areas of your
life: work, relationships, school, etc...I am a firm believer that exercising your body will
give you the stamina and energy to exercise your mind spirit and build better
relationships with those around you.
5) Challenge yourself
Keep challenging yourself whenever you feel too confident with a workout.
“Do something today that your

future self will thank you for.”

MEAL PLAN
I have created for you a 7 day meal plan (that you will follow for two weeks) to give you a
healthy diet to follow in order for you to start and also help you with your first steps.
This meal plan is based on what I include in my daily diet. These meals are all easy to
make, it is healthy, well balanced and are designed to help you shed fat while building
lean muscle mass.
“Eating clean it’s about staying away from refined,

processed food that have a lot off added chemicals,
salt and sugar.”
What you can eat?

Fresh fruit/ vegetables
Lean protein (chicken, turkey, steak, fish, egg, etc.)
Complex carb (brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potato, brown bread, butternut squash, etc.)
Healthy fats (nuts, avocado, coconut oil, oily fish, etc.)
What you can not eat? Buy Organic!

Refined sugar
Try to buy organic food whenever possible.
Packaged/ pre made food
It is worth spending extra money on organic
(contain sugar, salt, chemicals)
- why? Toxins are terrible for you. They are
Soda and juices
found in many mass-produced foods and can
Fast food, takeaway, junk food
mess up your endocrine system and
Alcohol
metabolism, increasing your body fat
percentage. These nasties are also related to
autoimmune diseases, cancer, MS and heart
disease.

Cheat day
Make sure you only have one cheat meal per week and not an entire day of
overindulging, unless it’s the “bin day”-, what? yes, you heard me, the bin day is one of
your cheat meals turned into a cheat whole day, where you can eat whatever you want,
no guilt just make sure its once every month.
My top tips to stop craving sweets:
Everyday after my lunch I eat one piece of dark chocolate or one dry fruit like a date or
a fig.
Before going to bed I eat chocolate avocado mousse (recipe included in this Ebook).
I eat healthy popcorns about 3 times a week while watching a movie (recipe included
in this ebook ).
I never skip meals so I normally never feel like I’m starving, as a result, I never eat more
than I need.

WEEK 2-3
This Second-week let’s try a different approach.
I really like to use different protocols for eating healthy so this 2 weeks we will focus on
eating fat!
Or what I call, The Good Fat Life
What is a Keto diet? I will briefly explain
A keto diet is well known for being a low carb diet, where the body produces ketones in
the liver to be used as energy. It’s referred to as many different names – ketogenic diet,
low carb diet, low carb high fat, etc.
When you eat something high in carbs, your body will produce glucose and insulin.
Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy so that it
will be chosen over any other energy source.
Insulin is produced to process the glucose in your bloodstream by taking it around the
body.
Since the glucose is being used as a primary energy, your fats are not needed and are the-
refore stored. Typically on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet, the body will use glucose
as the main form of energy. By lowering the intake of carbs, the body is induced into a
state known as ketosis.
The end goal of a properly maintained keto diet is to force your body into this metabolic
state.
We don’t do this through starvation of calories but starvation of carbohydrates.

What do I eat on a KETO diet?
You want to keep your carbohydrates limited, coming mostly from vegetables, nuts, and
dairy. Don’t eat any refined carbohydrates such as wheat (bread, pasta, cereals), starch
(potatoes, beans, legumes) or fruit. The small exceptions to this are avocado, star fruit,
and berries which can be consumed in moderation.
What you can eat? What you can not eat?

Meats – fish, beef, lamb, poultry, eggs Sugar – honey, agave, maple syrup
Leafy Greens – spinach, kale, etc Tubers – potato, yams
Above ground vegetables – broccoli, Fruit – apples, bananas, oranges
cauliflower, etc Grains – wheat, corn, rice, cereal
High Fat Dairy – hard cheeses, high fat
cream, butter, etc
Nuts and seeds – macadamias,
walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc
Avocado and berries – raspberries,
blackberries, and other low glycemic
impact berries
Sweeteners – stevia, erythritol, monk
fruit, and other low-carb sweeteners
Other fats – coconut oil, high-fat salad
dressing, saturated fats, etc

Cardio
You will be training 3 times a week very basic exercises to get you started.
try to walk for 30-45 minutes on the days that you are not training, don’t jog, just walk
with a moderate/ fast pace, depending on what your stamina is.
This is optional, but it will get results faster.
Before each workout (warm-up)
Before each workout (excluding walking) you will need to warm-up.

The warm-up should gently prepare the body for exercises by gradually increasing the
heart rate and circulation; this will loosen the joints and increase blood flow to the
muscles. Stretching the muscles prepares them for physical activity and prevents
injuries.
After each workout (streaching)
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility
to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become
tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend
all the way.
