Have you heard the news? It’s timeto move! In so many ways this is true. Let’s start with the
simplest... The days are shorter, the workload is heavier,
and the necessity for coffee is stronger than ever (I’ll take
mine black, thank you). Have you found yourself fumbling
around in the morning or laboring to rise at your alarm’s
6 a.m. call? Whether you’re ready or not, the day demands
that you get at it. Fall has always had weighty aspirations,
whether it’s to conquer the world or conquer your 5th
grader’s latest math assignment. Maybe this seriousness
comes from the great hangover that summer leaves us
with. Or could it be Fall’s new time commitments and
demands for more productivity. Regardless, how do we
move forward at the necessary (warp) speed?
There are many ways to get the job done, if not for
yourself than for all the others in your life of which you are
the center of the universe. Whatever your method, it’s time
to begin. So straighten your tie, tighten your seatbelt, and
get ready to fire on all cylinders. In other words, move......
In this issue, our motto is “all in a day’s work.” We begin
with the task of dressing for work with a helpful guide
to putting together classic looks that say professional,
but also casual and stylish. Spend less time in your closet
stressing over choices and more time in the board room
changing the world.
Also on the business front, our finance report highlights
some uber-positive points that could help you make another
type of move - pulling up the stakes. With rates their lowest
in 50 years, settle into the home of your dreams, possible
in this month’s featured city: Santaluz. Get more for your
money in this little-known enclave of Rancho Santa Fe,
where the natural geography of the region is preserved and
met with mountains, ocean views and untold luxury. No
FINE | E D I T O R ’ S N O T E
EDITOR’S NOTEmatter how hectic your day, Santaluz represents yet another
of San Diego’s finest oasis spots to come home to.
In between business, socializing and charity work, get
a jump on your holiday planning with this month’s article
on holiday decor. Take our writer’s creative inspirations
and dress your holiday table with beautiful and impressive
choices that take the anxiety out of hosting and put your
personal signature on everything, from table centerpieces to
napkin holders.
If you’re someone who’d rather experience fine holiday
food and wine without the mess, consider this October’s
Gourmet Experience in Del Mar. The choices for elite dining
have never been greater and more accessible to San Diegans.
Another fine food organization celebrating its 50th U.S.
anniversary of culinary excellence this is the Confrérie de la
Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. The Chaîne’s legacy includes centuries
of cooking and dining tradition that has been handed down
to the finest gourmet chef’s in the world.
If this isn’t enough to get you moving, you might want to
consider this month’s exclusive on the legend and legacy that
is Ferrari. Read about the history and tradition of this fine
Italian auto-maker; you might just be inspired to take a test
drive yourself. Or, you might find yourself inspired by this
month’s fitness article, which comes complete with a 3-week
plan to keep you on the fast track of fitness. This and much
more awaits you in the pages of FINE Magazine. Whether
reading us online or with book in hand, we hope you are
surprised and delighted, as well as moved.
Sincerely,
Laurie Nelson

Imagine a secret world that includes 3,800 acres of rolling hillsides, olive
trees, trails and the highest mountain closest to the ocean... Now incorporate
a planned community with Tuscany style homes lining a golf course nestled in
between the native California desert terrain, while living the life of luxury. If that
sounds too good to be true, think again. Behind the gates of Santaluz,
residents enjoy a sense of community that is establishing 92127 as
one of the most desirable zip codes in Southern California. With
picturesque sunsets and views of the mountains and Pacific
ocean, Santaluz is making its mark on the Southern California
Real Estate scene.
Established at the beginning of the millennium, Santaluz
is a collaboration by an affiliate of DMB Associates, Inc.,
which was voted “Best Planned Community in San Diego”
by the Building Industry Association. With the original intent
to use the natural landscape, home owners enjoy picturesque
landscaping while conserving water and saving money at the same
time.
Local Realtor, Mike Taylor has sold properties in this area for 13
years. He shared some positive remarks regarding Santaluz. “Santaluz
has done a phenomenal job of creating a family community with

amenities for all ages. For someone
looking for the complete lifestyle,
this is it. Also, the value for new
homes in Santaluz is definitely
more bank for your money.”
Another agent commented “We
have so many beautiful views,
which include a golf course, the
surrounding mountains, the ocean and believe
it or not, views of La Jolla,” he says. “Residents can enjoy
the open space of trails, private tennis courts and our pool
is comparable to the feeling of a resort. We also have full
fitness, an indoor basketball court, coffee shop, dining room,
full service spa and lots of extra-curricular activities for those
that live here. The community is very family friendly. For the
4th of July we have one of those most spectacular firework
displays in Southern California with a full BBQ and tons of kid
activities. Club members enjoy both the lifestyle and amenities
that are unique to Santluz.”
But it’s not just amenities that draw people to SantaLuz.
Though a tucked away community, you’d be surprised to
realize how centrally located it is, with easy access to major
freeways and other gated communities in the area.
Ben Evers, explains why he finds his clients invest and buy
homes there. “Living in Santaluz is a lifestyle choice,” says Ben.
“A large community within a community, it’s a wonderful way
to live. From parents with young children to retired couples,
there are all sorts of different activities to choose from. I just
had a client that is closing escrow that chose Santaluz for all
of these many factors.”
With over forty-four miles of open space, the 250-acre Rees
Jones Championship Golf Course is also one of the main
attractions to this community. There is a 19,000 square foot
community center, a fitness facility, pool and gymnasium for
residents. During the summer, there are live concerts on the
Santaluz Village Green. Artists such as Kenny Loggins,
Huey Lewis & The News
and Boz Skaggs are some of the top
performers that have been featured
at these summer concerts. This is
yet another one of the surprising
perks of being a Santaluz Club
member.
And talk about “location”, consider these
neighboring enclaves to Santaluz: Rancho
Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch are just minutes
away. The Pacific ocean is only 6.5 miles away,
with easy access to top beach communities
like Del Mar and Solana Beach. The 5, 56 and
15 freeways are all within minutes, making Santaluz
an ideal location for almost any commute, including
downtown San Diego.
Just like its ‘big brother”, Rancho Santa Fe, Santa-
luz homes are priced well beyond the million dol-
lar price range. However, this being said, Santaluz
is less expensive yet still offers much of the same lifestyle,
amenities and prestige. In this market, there may just be a few
‘bargains’ to be had. Do your research, and don’t be afraid to
ask a few Santaluz residents yourself. They’ll most likely tell
you how they came to find Santaluz and realize their dream of
living in such a beautiful place here in Southern California.
One thing is sure; they’ll be proud to call this ‘one of a kind’
community their very own.

spa, social clubs, tennis and equestrian facilities. These
amenities often sway buyers in a positive direction when
making that final decision between other, similar properties
in the same zip code that offer less. They not only afford the
best value; they also assure maximum upside resale value.
3. SAFETY:For the utmost luxury and sense of maximum privacy
and security, insist on guard-gated entrances and staffed
communities that also offer private and after hour security
patrols, much like the Del Mar Country Club, Fairbanks
Ranch, The Bridges, Crosby Estates, Cielo, Rancho Pacifica,
Palacio Del Mar, The Heritage and Santaluz, to name a
few.
3. SCHOOLS:Regardless of whether or not you have school aged
children or are sending them to private school, look
for distinctive properties that are located in the best
school district(s). Historically, these areas hold their
value, even when the marketplace wanes.
4. PROFESSIONALISM:Hire a full-time, professional, licensed agent that
is certified by the Institute for Luxury Home
Marketing with access to the International
Multiple Listing Service. Working with an
area specialist can help ensure a satisfying
and successful home buying experience.
Have you heard the news? Two distinct
factors in today’s marketplace are making
NOW the best time (in a long time) to move
up into that luxury, executive, estate home
you’ve always wanted.
For one, mortgage interest rates have not been
this low in 50 years - yes, 50 years since they
started tracking the data. Secondly, the
sheer amount of housing inventory
is HUGE, with record numbers of
distressed and foreclosure properties
- at all price points which was
previously unheard of, especially in
the upscale market.
Additionally, because these
numbers continue to rise, home
values continue to decrease, and
the amount of people who can
afford to move up shrinks. Thus, the
basic principles of ‘supply and demand’
are set into motion, creating the perfect
opportunity for low demand. What does
all this mean (finally!)? It means low
absorption rates, which will increase
inventory. Next, the current low rates
will produce renewed and MAXIMUM

FINE | V E H I C L E S
In his book, The Enzo Ferrari Memoirs, Enzo Ferrari explains:
“The story of this rampant horse is a simple and fascinating
one. The emblem was emblazoned on the fighter plane of Fran-
cesco Baracca, the ace of World War I, who was shot down at
Montello.
In 1923, when competing
in the first Circuito del Sav-
io, at Ravenna, I made ac-
quaintance of Count Enrico
Baracca, the hero’s father;
as a result of that meeting,
I was subsequently intro-
duced to the ace’s moth-
er, the Countess Paolina
Baracca, who one day
said to me: Ferrari, why
don’t you put my son’s rampant horse on
your car? It will bring you luck.”
I still have Baracca’s photograph, with his parents dedication
in which they entrust the horse to me. The horse was, and has
remained, black; whilst I myself added the gold field, this being
the color of Modena.”
Each time you see a Ferrari, the mystique never goes away.
The name itself conjures up a history of professional racing
prowess, winning, success and sex appeal that remains. To this
day, the Ferrari name reigns supreme in the world of exotic
cars. While other car companies strive to reach the standard
that Ferrari has set, Ferarri remains in a class all its own.
When Enzo Ferrari founded his company in 1929, he could
not have ever imagined that one of his cars would sell at
auction for more 12 million dollars, an amount at least ten times
more than his entire investment. His passion for automotive
superiority helped him keep his focus on what he did best; build
automotive racing cars that continue to define the standard for
quality, performance and elegance.
The company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars
before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947.
Throughout its history, Ferrari has been noted for its continued
participation in racing, especially in Formula One where it has
earned great success. Says Enzo:
“When I decide to take part in a race, I don’t think about my
competitors. I try to do my best, without telling myself ‘I must
beat Mercedes or Maserati’. For me, the importance of a race
is the technical result; that is, whether – given the same course
and the same atmospheric conditions – established records
have been broken. If so, progress has been made.”
The first racing car designed by Enzo Ferrari was the 1940 AAC
815, although it was not branded as a Ferrari model because he
was still under contract to Alpha Romero.
The first Ferrari road car branded with his name was the 1947
125 S, powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine. While his beautiful
and fast cars quickly gained a reputation for excellence, Enzo
maintained a strong passion to build winning racing cars that
oftentimes would compromise passenger amenities for high
performance engines and handling. The 125 S used a steel
tube-frame chassis, double wishbone suspension, transverse
leaf springs in front and a live axle in the rear. Hydraulic power
drum brakes were incorporated front and rear.

The model 250, the most successful early line, was built
from 1953 to 1964. The car included several variations. In
all, thirty-four 250 Testa Rossas were built. The phrase “Testa
Rossa” means “red head.” The most well known, the 250TR,
was produced from 1957 to 1958.
This 1957 Ferrari 250 TR sold at auction for $12,156,252
(€9,020,000) in 2009.
The sight of a Ferrari on the road speaks volumes to elegance,
style and panache. You don’t just own a Ferrari; you invest
in motorsport excellence. RM Auctions and Sotheby’s made
history recently, selling a 1957 Ferrari 250 TR for $12,156,252
(€9,020,000), at that time a world record for most expensive
car sold at auction.
During the early years, the mixture of twelve
cylinder engines designed and
produced for street or racing
by Ferrari is remarkable. On
into the 1960’s the company
continued to develop
and design cars that set
standards for street and racing
performance, along with classic
lines and stunning presence.
Some of the cars built by the
company include:
• Sports cars
• 2-seat Gran Turismo
• Mid-engine V6/V8
• Mid-engine 2+2
• Front-engine 2+2
• Mid-engine 12-cylinder
• Supercars
• Concept models and one-off specials

THE PERFECT
TABLEH O L I D A Y
SETTING
Fall is officially upon us and with this welcomed season of
changing leaves and cooling temperatures come thoughts of
family and friends gathered around the holiday table. With a
little planning and even the tightest of budgets, a beautiful
table setting will enhance any dinner party or social event.
From casual to elegant and classic to extravagant, the perfect
table should be the focal point of your parties throughout the
holiday season.
HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE STEPS TO SETTINGTHE PERFECT TABLE:
Inspiration ~ Let everyday objects and memories be your
inspiration. Inspiration can come from organic elements
such as seashells and driftwood, a favorite painting
of Tuscany drenched with golden sunflowers
and rich red wines, or perhaps something as

simple as a playful napkin ring that brings a smile to your face.
Whatever your inspiration, it will set the tone for everything
you do.
Linens ~ When setting your table, start with a basic color
tablecloth. For a more casual setting, choose a solid color
table cloth and add a festive runner down the center of the
table. If you have a favorite table cloth with a pattern, use a
solid color runner and place settings to avoid a busy table. A
white table cloth is always a successful canvas for creating a
more sophisticated table top. Cloth napkins can be creatively
folded in origami fashion, gathered in your favorite napkin
ring or draped softly in a goblet.
Color & Texture ~ Keep the color scheme simple and
tasteful. Choose one or two dominate colors and add accent
colors that coordinate and compliment the surrounding decor.
Rattan placemats or glass chargers add texture and interest
to your settings. Fruit and cheese platters, colorful serving
dishes, as well as spirited labeled wine bottles add both color
and texture. Adding chair pads to casual and slipcovers to
formal settings is another creative technique.
Centerpieces ~ When choosing a centerpiece, you will
want to adorn your tabletop without obstructing the view of
your dinner guests. Fresh flowers in low arrangements with
tall candleholders are classic. To add a sense of casual, a
simple vase with flowers will do. Candle holders come in a
variety of materials and shapes, like the more casual wood
and glass, while crystal exudes more elegance and formality.
Add interest by varying the height and quantity of your candle
holders and centerpieces.
Tableware ~ You don’t need fine china to create a beautiful
table setting. Local stores, such as Cost Plus World Market,
carry an array of solid or patterned dinnerware that will serve
any affair at a fraction of the cost. Be creative as you combine
different looks, shapes and sizes that will layer your table and
put your signature on the final creation.
Light ~ Don’t underestimate the power of light when planning
your party. Nothing adds to the ambiance of your table setting
more than candles. Set alone or in groupings, candles are
the perfect source of subdued lighting to set the mood for a
relaxed and comfortable conversation.
Props ~ Architectural elements bring a unique perspective
to a table setting. Consider using an antique door in
the background to create a sense of welcoming or an
oversized framed mirror to reflect light and open a small
space. Screens can be used to block an exposed dining area
that is otherwise creating a more intimate area in which to
dine.
These are just a few suggestions as you celebrate the season,
but remember that your table setting should be a reflection of
you! Whether casual or formal, it should embody your own
distinctive personality and style, creating holiday gatherings
that family and friends will long remember.

If you are one of the few that has not embraced the hybrid
movement, please pay close attention to the following. The
Idea Black Super Hybrid advances way beyond long iron
replacement. Bigger and more powerful, it’s a hybrid on steroids,
markedly increasing ball speed and overall distance. A larger
head, maraging steel face and increased shaft length combine
to provide a jolt of power while maintaining playability.

BOCCIERI GOLF’S HEAVY WEDGE AND HEAVY PUTTER
Improving your short game is the fastest way to lower
scores. The ability to make a crucial putt or get up-and-
down to save a shot is essential to being a good player.
Luckily, Boccieri Golf’s Heavy Wedge and Heavy Putter lines
utilize strategically placed weight to automatically groove
your swing and stroke to be more effective. An advocate
of counter-weighting (added mass in the grip-end of the
shaft) Boccieri Golf’s products move the club’s balance
point closer to the body for easier and more natural control.
The result is fewer strokes on and around the green and a
plummeting handicap.

When getting ready for work, there are many obstacles a
woman must overcome when answering the infamous question,
“what should I wear?” The challenge is to balance appropri-
ate work attire with a sense of personal style. In this quest, I
am not alone; dressing for work has become an ever-evolving
art form. Don’t let ‘what to wear’ wear you down: follow these
simple rules that will help you find the perfect balance of girl
meets work.
Rule #1: Invest in “Staples” Every wardrobe needs basic staples as a canvas to mix and
match with. Staple clothing items include: a pantsuit to wear
together or as separates, a pencil skirt, cardigan, a cashmere
sweater, and silk camisoles. It’s a good idea to start with basic
black or charcoal gray and work your way to color as your
wardrobe expands.
Rule #2: Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize .Accessories make or break an outfit. They help add person-
ality and fun to your work clothes. From hair clips, earrings,
necklaces and classic cuffs to cinch belts and mini clutches,
accessories are key to making a subtle personal style statement.
Mix vintage with classic or trendy; just don’t overdo it.
Rule #3: Spend More on Shoes and Handbags .Shoes and handbags are critical in work force attire; they
need to be functional and stylish. It’s wise to invest more in
these key items because a pair of great shoes and a fantastic
bag should stand the test of time. They also signal power and
put togetherness by showing you pay attention to small details
in a big way. Have your classics, but don’t be afraid to add
the Rules

flair with bold and daring colors. Some of my fa-
vorite work outfits incorporate footwear in bright
colors adding a nice pop that can brighten any
long work day.
Rule #4: Think Outside The Box, or in This Case The Pantsuit Look to dresses to help add variety to your work ward-
robe. Dresses are the easiest way to get dressed quickly, and
they make a stylish statement on their own. The dress is also
a starting point for creating multiple outfits. For example, a
dress can be worn with long sleeves layered under it, as a shirt
tucked into pants, over pants as a tunic or even as a skirt by
wearing a top over it.
Rule #5: Mix Texture and Patterns Experiment with textures, such as tweed pants worn with a silk
blouse. Tweed is a great texture for work because it’s versatile and
classic. Try mixing pinstripe and floral. A great pair of pinstripe
pants worn with a modern floral cardigan and high waist leather
belt exemplifies the art of mixing texture and patterns.
Rule #6: Add Print Don’t be afraid of print. A splashy floral or leopard print blouse
worn under a suit jacket gives your work outfit a colorful yet femi-
nine look. This may be the smallest part of your ensemble, but it
can have the biggest impact. A dash of print will show your sense
of style while still maintaining your professionalism.
Rule #7: Don’t Shy Away From Color When you have to wear suits that are black, gray or brown on a
daily basis, it’s easy to shy away from color. Combine that with
most women’s tendency to gravitate toward black and you’re
stuck in a colorless rut. Adding a splash of color instantly
adds personal style, not to mention, a sense of power.
Try red or purple, which have long signified power, and
take note of how productive your work day is. Who
knows, a promotion might just be on the way!
Rule #8: There Really Are No Rules Feel free to express yourself in ways in which you are most
comfortable because you always look your best when you exude
confidence. If that means breaking a rule or two, go for it. The
rules are still here to guide you, get you out of the closet and on
with your busy and successful life!

WHERE TO DINE?article by: HAROLD S. SMALL, J.D., AEP photo by: MARK SERONI
Are you planning a birthday, anniversary or other celebratory
occasion? If so, how do you select a restaurant where you are
reasonably assured to enjoy a special meal? There are numerous
guides in print and on the web. Those that quickly come to
mind are Zagat, Michelin, Yelp and Opinionated About. But do
you know how those critiquing organizations determine who
wins and who loses? Are their ratings based on the opinions
of experts or merely on how many internet “votes” they may
have received from a restaurant’s employees, family members
and friends?
If your goal is to enjoy wonderful meals, paired wines and
superbly crafted beverages all in the company of chefs, restau-
rateurs, hoteliers and like-minded food lovers, there is another
answer; the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs (“Chaîne”).
The What, you ask? Chaîne is the world’s oldest and largest
international gastronomic society founded in Paris in 1248.
It was organized as a guild (union) of rotisserie chefs who
cooked with a spit over an open flame when that was the
norm. The organization was forced to disband during the
French Revolution when many of the royals who employed the
leading rotisserie chefs “lost their heads” over the revolt. It was
revived in 1950, blending the honored traditions of the original
guild with the contemporary techniques developed over the
centuries that followed. The Chaîne also expanded its exclusive
membership ranks (historically restricted to hospitality
professionals) to include amateur gastronomes (foodies) like

D I N I N G | FINE
WHERE TO DINE?LOOK TO THE CHAîNE
you and me. In its now 60 year old form (50 years in the U.S.),
the Chaîne remains devoted to preserving the camaraderie and
pleasures of the dining table by promoting excellence in all
areas of the culinary arts.
Chaîne dinners are literally a gastronomic symphony where
chefs create extraordinary cuisine in concert with vinicultural
treasures crafted by some of the world’s finest vintners
and heightened by meticulous service. This orchestration
culminates in a crescendo of aromas, flavors and textures that
can only be characterized as “Chaînetastic!”
The Chaîne has approximately 136 Bailliages (chapters)
in the United States. Worldwide there are more than 300
chapters in 80 countries. From San Diego to New York, Chaîne
dinners occur throughout the year at local, regional, national
and international gatherings. Wherever they travel, Chaîne
Members can participate in dinners all over the world.
San Diego will be the host city for the 50th Anniversary
celebration of the establishment of the U.S. chapter. The
national meeting will take place October 20 – 24, 2010 at the
San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina.
In addition to providing unique dining opportunities and
wine tasting events, the Chaîne sponsors young chefs and
sommeliers by hosting worldwide competitions. The Chaîne
Foundation provides scholarships for young culinarians. About
DINING EXPERIENCE LUXURY
$3,000,000 in scholarships have been awarded
since the Foundation was established.
San Diego’s professional members
comprise less than half of the membership
rosters of the two Bailliages, however, it
reads like a Who’s-Who listing. Several
media outlets have named these members
and restaurants as the best: Jeffrey Strauss of
Pamplemousse Grille, Bernard Guillas of The
Marine Room, Bertrand Hug of Mille Fleurs and
Bertrand at Mister A’s, Francis Perrot of Fairbanks
Ranch Country Club, Carl Schroeder of Market and Bankers
Hill, Pascal Vignau of Savory Casual Fare, John Beriker at the
Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Patrick Dahms at the Hilton San Diego
Bayfront, Augie Saucedo at the Shores, Jesse Paul at the Park
Hyatt Aviara and Paul McCabe of Kitchen 1540. It’s this type
of name recognition that the Chaîne is known for and a reason
the Chaîne Baillis restricts membership to “by invitation” only.
Upholding this tradition of excellence is what the Chaîne is
all about.
If you are not a member of the Chaîne, you can still dine at their
restaurants where they provide terrific dining opportunities
day after day. When traveling, look for restaurants with a
Chaîne affiliation. The simplest way is to look for the Chaîne
Medallion generally displayed in a prominent location. Or
review a list of affiliated restaurants/hotels on the Chaîne

3 WEEKFINE | F I T N E S S
Whether it’s for the summer bikini, the little black dress or the guy who wants abs instead of love handles, dieting
is a 24/7 year round sport. But, optimal fat loss does not have to be difficult and tortuous. By following this “3 Week
Jump Start Plan”, you will maximize fat burning by boosting your metabolism and you WILL lose more weight and
body fat than you ever dreamed possible.
Of dieters across the nation, an astounding 92% see their weight loss stall, or worse, they see pounds of fat
sneak back onto their body. Everyone who has ever “dieted” has had this happen. But do you know
WHY this happened? When you diet the wrong way, i.e., calorie cutting, your body thinks that
food is scarce, so it hoards fat instead of burning it, and energizes with glycogen, a
sugar - based fuel found in muscles. So, the more often you diet
and constrict calories, the faster your body will shift into muscle -
burning / fat storing mode. Your body essentially stores fat and eats
muscle for fuel, which lowers your metabolism in an attempt to
save energy in preparation for a false, upcoming famine.
THE ANSWER: CARB - CYCLING: THE SECRET THAT TURNS FAT TO ENERGY. Whenever the muscle stores of glycogen are completely
depleted (a process that takes 3-7 days), the body STOPS
burning muscle and STARTS burning stored fat as fuel.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
“the body burns fat cells around the belly, hips and
butt first.” Surprisingly, it’s actually very easy to
diminish glycogen stores; you simply have to restrict
carbohydrate intake. I know what you are thinking -
“Great! There goes all the food that I enjoy”. Not
so, because once glycogen stores have been
depleted, cravings for sugar, breads or pastas
diminish pretty quick. The carbohydrate
sugars from these foods supply the glucose
from which muscle glycogen is derived.
Cutting these types of carbohydrates for
at least three days depletes the muscles’
glycogen stores and forces the body to
use fat for fuel.
But, you have to be careful. The
body is hyper-sensitive to calorie

F I T N E S S | FINE
restriction (as in the above example of starvation mode), so it
will quickly go back to storing fat and slowing your metabolism
in an attempt to conserve energy. Right along those same lines,
restricting carbohydrate intake for too long deprives the brain
of glucose, which is needed to produce the feeling of being
“full” or “satisfied”. Therefore, to avoid this backlash, limit your
carbohydrate restriction to no more than seven days. Once
you’ve completed seven days, it’s important to “carb” back
up in order to prevent the body from hitting a weight loss
plateau. This will also restore the brain’s appetite regulating
neurochemicals.
“SHOCKING THE BODY” Shifting between “carbing up” and “carbing down” days shocks
the body into tapping into the fat stores or “reserves” for
energy, rather than relying on the glycogen in your muscles.
Simple, right? It should be. Competitive athletes, bodybuilders,
fitness and figure models have used this technique for decades
because it works!
WHAT TO DO AND EAT FOR 21 DAYS.Days 1 - 7: You MUST limit your carb intake to 20 grams per day. Try to
stay with fresh, non-packaged food. If the food is packaged,
then make sure to examine the label. (On the label, total carb
grams per serving MINUS fiber grams per serving is the actual
carb count. Fiber grams do not effect the glycogen stores nor
the insulin production of the body. Both increase the fatty tissue
build up.) Also important: INCLUDE PROTEIN IN EVERY MEAL!
Avoid: all starchy carbs (breads, pastas, cereals, oatmeal, rice
and potatoes), starchy veggies (corn, carrots, beets and peas),
low-carb packaged foods and processed foods, fruits (YES,
fruits!), fruit juice, alcohol, sugar, fructose, etc. Stave off hunger
by snacking on and filling up on low glycemic (low sugar)
veggies such as broccoli, celery, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce,
mushrooms, radishes, etc. Try to stay with the “dark greens” as
much as possible.
Sample Meal Plan For 1 Day:Breakfast: 1 egg, 3 egg white omelette with (diced chicken
or turkey or ground beef, and a small amount of very low - no
carb, full fat cheese).
Snack: ½ cup of cottage cheese (once again, full fat because it
usually contains fewer carbs)
Lunch: (no later than 3 hours after last snack) Lettuce,
cucumber, spinach and mushroom salad topped with 4-8 oz. of
grilled chicken or turkey, with olive and vinegar (measuring a
TOTAL of 2 tablespoons.)
Late afternoon snack: a basic whey protein shake with less
than 5 grams of carbohydrates. Mix with water and a little bit
of ice.
Dinner: 4-8 oz. of broiled or grilled salmon or Tilapia; 1 cup
of steamed broccoli or asparagus; lettuce and cucumber salad
topped with same dressing as at lunch.
Days 8 - 14: During these next seven days you will change up your plan
by slightly “carbing up”, which will keep away the plateau yet
cause you to drop an additional 5-6 pounds. You will cycle
your carbs with 3 different plans in 7 days. Again, INCLUDE
PROTEIN IN EVERY MEAL!
Formula 1: Base days. Monday, Thursday and Sunday.
Eat one serving of starchy carbs at breakfast and lunch. Have
no carbs but low glycemic (low sugar) veggies for the rest of
the day.
Breakfast: Oatmeal (cinnamon, natural sweetener Stevia) and
egg whites.
Lunch: 4-8 oz. grilled tuna; steamed broccoli; ½ cup of rice.
Formula 2: Low-carb days. Tuesday and Friday.
Eat one serving of starchy carbs (like in Formula 1) at ONE
meal of your choice as long as it is before 3 p.m.
Formula 3: High-carb days. Wednesday and Saturday.
Eat one serving of starchy carbs before 3 p.m., then two servings
of starchy carbs after 3 p.m. (Could include 1 glass of alcohol,
fruit, pizza, pasta, bread, etc., don’t go overboard!)
Days 15 - 21:Simply switch up the “high carb” and “low carb” days from the
previous week. Once again, this small change will continue
to “shock “ the body and prevent your fat loss from stalling.
Expect to see another 4-6 pounds fall off. Include PROTEIN on
all days!
Monday, Tuesday and Friday. ( low-carb days)Eat one serving of starchy carbs at one meal of your choice
before 3 p.m. Only low glycemic (low sugar) veggies for the
rest of the day.
Thursday and Sunday. ( base days)Eat one serving of starchy carbs at breakfast and lunch. Only
low glycemic veggies for the rest of the day.
Wednesday and Saturday. ( high-carb days)Eat one serving of starchy carbs before 3 p.m., then two servings
of starchy carbs after 3 p.m. (Could include 1 glass of alcohol,
fruit, pizza, pasta, bread, etc., don’t go overboard!)
Sample Dessert with ANY ONE MEAL:1 cup of sugar-free jello and 1 tablespoon of full fat Reddi-whip
whipped cream.
