The thing Tiffany loves most about the RP system is that it's intentionally designed to provide times of calorie cutting for weight loss, but it also requires periods of maintenance to allow your body to recover and rebalance after weight loss. "This was a new concept for me, but one that really helped me gear up for short periods where the calories are lower, because I knew that it was only going to last a few weeks," she said.
Here's a typical day of eating when Tiffany is in the middle of a 12-week calorie-cutting period.
Upon waking: coffee with one tablespoon of nondairy coffee creamer
Pre-workout shake before 7 a.m. training session: one scoop of whey protein mixed with 22 grams of carbs from Tang drink mix
Lunch around 1 p.m.: chicken tacos (three soft corn tortillas with six ounces of shredded chicken breast, lettuce, and salsa)
Snack around 3 p.m.: Tiffany explained, "At this point, I figure out what I will eat for the rest of the day. I plan my snack to fill in any macros that I need to hit my numbers. Usually I will need to eat more protein so I eat some type of lean meat and veggies (I enjoy chicken breast mixed with steamed broccoli with a calorie-free ranch seasoning sprinkled on top). If my dinner is not carb-heavy, I will add in a bagel or raisin bread here as well."
Second coffee: "My favorite time of day is second coffee!"
Dinner around 6 p.m.: six ounces of lean meat with sweet potatoes or rice with unlimited veggies
Bedtime around 9 p.m.: one scoop of casein protein; if she has carbs available, she'll cook her casein protein into Kodiak cake waffles, or if she has fat available, she'll mix it with peanut butter as a delicious bedtime treat
Craving stoppers: a couple of things Tiffany always has in her fridge to calm cravings or to pop in her mouth when she's hungry are pickles, cherry tomatoes, and sugar-free jello with fat-free whipped cream on top
