Basic Lifestyle Guidelines (OPEX) 1. There are 24 hours in the day; apply work and rest appropriately 2. The earth spins and the sun and moon correlate with our energy patterns; we need the sun, we don’t need the moon 3. You will one day die; get over it and get living 4. Water, moving blood and proper digestion are ESSENTIAL DAILY ROUTINES

SLEEP
1. As you age the hours needed for sleep has a relative decline.
2. Go to sleep and get up same time every day as much as you can!
OPEX Fitness © 1999-2015
3.Reduce your time in bed so that it more closely matches the amount of sleep you average each night, i.e. use the bedroom for sleep and sexual activity only.
5.Make sure you feel drowsy when you turn the lights off to go to sleep. If you do not fall asleep within 20-30 minutes, go to another room and engage in a quiet, relaxing activity until you feel drowsy.
6.Don’t take sleeping pills regularly. They have side effects and inconsistent benefits, particularly in older adults.
7.Practice relaxation techniques at bedtime including warm bathing, contrast muscular relaxation, low effort yoga, diary noting, mental focusing, and/or breathing techniques.
8.Take an afternoon nap after a poor night’s sleep - max 20-30 min.
9.Increase your retina’s exposure to early morning sunlight as soon as you wake up to establish a more consistent sleep rhythm. Get that pineal gland up and at ‘em!
10. Exercise is great to create a calming affect. Too close to bedtime can create a stimulatory affect. Balance the requirements for exercise with what sleep is needed. Honour sleep first!
Food Hygiene 1. smell food before you eat it 2. sit down to eat 3. put down your fork b/t each bite 4. talk with your mouth full! OPEX Fitness © 1999-2015
5. cook your food 6. chew very well…practice it, can you do it? 7. knowledge around the food education! 8. low anxiety around eating - food is fuel “belief" Menses, Seeds, and Fitness Training days 26-1-5 - low skills acquisition, lower volume and intensity, aerobic ok, moderate weights ok
days 6-25 - 1-2 day ramp up - go for it, 1-2 day ramp down

Menstrual Seed Cycling Based on an average 28 day cycle: Day 1 (first day of menses) through to day 14: Stimulate estrogen pathway – omega 3 fatty acids 2 tbsp. of freshly ground flax, chia, and/or pumpkin seeds + 1-‐1.5g fish oil/am, 1-‐1.5g fish oil/pm Day 15 through to day 28: Stimulate progesterone pathway – omega 6 fatty acids 2 tbsp. of freshly ground sunflower and/or sesame seeds + Dose of evening primrose or borage oil split (GLA) over am/pm
àAs a side note, the menstrual cycle is designed not only to by rhythmic in and of itself, but also to be in line with the phases of the moon. Menses coincides with the new moon, and ovulation coincides with the full moon. (Though the reverse is also acceptable.) The first step is regulating the cycle itself, then we can go further in attempting to have it sync back in with the phases of the moon.

MacroNutrient Daily Totals for cals required: 1. BMR 2. TEF 3. EEE
[OLD METHOD = BMR + TEF + EEE] —> [BWT (kg) x 20 + 10% daily current cals + cals needed/“burned” in activity)]
for %’s of cals from PFC 1. activity levels 2. gaining or losing fat 3. function [and many other factors that are physical, environmental, emotional, social…]
A. determine LBM
OPEX Fitness © 1999-2015
B. determine protein requirements based on activity C. determine carb needs based on activity and function D. determine fat needs based on energy, satiety and function E. create cals/meal based on lifestyle and frequency of feedings F. create food plan based on cals/meal and daily energy and lifestyle function G. action and implementation H. re-assess and feedback/tweaks as needed
a - chest, b - tricep, c - subscap, d - iliac, e - abdomen, f - thigh
ex. JF 8 + 4 + 12 + 9 + 17 + 7 = 57 X 0.097 = 5.529 + 3.64 = 9.169 % BF
compared to InBody same day - 12.9% body fat (http://www.inbody.com/eng/main/Main.aspx )
if my (me = James FitzGerald - JF) BWT is 178# - 178# x 0.09169 = 16.32 # fat, therefore LBM = 178# - 16.32 # = 161.68 # LBM
therefore protein is based on; 1. target lean mass (up or down?) 2. energy balance (BMR + TEF) - gains or losses? 3. activity level (EEE)
JF - same lean mass, maintain (support activity), 5-7x/week 80% intensive and 45 + min
OPEX Fitness © 1999-2015
1. FITNESS PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS sedentary - 0.5g/lb of LBM light - 0.7g/lb of LBM moderate - 0.9g/lb of LBM high - 1.1g/lb of LBM intensive - 1.3g/lb of LBM
JF - high, therefore P requirements are 161.68# LBM x 1.1 = 177 g P per day (= 708 cals)
2. FITNESS/FAT LOSS CARB REQUIREMENTS based on; 1. body fat (the higher the BF, the lower the supporting carbs in relation to protein; the lower the body fat, the higher carb tolerance) 2. activity levels - supporting fuel for activity - i.e. fat guys need carbs too who are training hard)
fat loss alone - 0-50 g/day fat loss + intensive resistance training - 30-80 g/day fat loss + accumulation resistance training - 50-100 g/day (1/2 in PWO window) fat loss + fitness* ? - 50 + ? (fitness as defined might be inappropriate for fat loss) maintenance - intensive weight training - 50 + g/day (varies based on resiliency) maintenance - accumulation weight training - 100 + g/day (larger amounts in PWO) maintenance - fitness* - 100 + g/day (varies based on fitness level and resiliency) performance - fitness* - 1+ x BWT in g/day (+ = degrees of change based on intensity and resiliency)
fitness* - intensity - get better at everything - all ES taxed/worked
3. “SLIDING" FITNESS FAT REQUIREMENTS BWT x 0.5 + (“sliding” scale based on resiliency, gut health and activity)
JF - 178# x 0.8 = 142 g F per day (= 1278 cals)
OPEX Fitness © 1999-2015
JF - BF (leaner side), activity levels high, higher carb tolerance, can go BWT + in approximation therefore 178 g per day - 250 g per day (= 708 cals - 1000 cals)
total cals P - 708 F - 1278 C - 1000 total = 2986 (33% C, 42% F, 25% P)
2986 per day - linear model - accounts for balance in week for activity spread for week 2200 one day, 2 days at 2986, 2 days at 2200, 1 day at 2986 - non linear model - accounts for variation in “competent” people who can train and change calories as needed
EXAMPLE of linear model:
lifestyle allows 5x eating/day + "around" training for JF
1 meal is PWO - 30g P, 90g C - 480 cals (therefore [2986-480] = 2506 cals for 5 meals Divide 2506 by 5 = 500 cals per meal (remember the PWO has no fat and takes away protein and carb cals so we have left 148g P, 89 g fat, and 160 g Carb)
therefore in a PERFECT BALANCED WORLD :) :) :)…. its 148/4 = 37 g P per meal, 89/4 = 22 g F per meal and 160/4 = 40 g C per meal
ONE example of 37 g P, 22 g F, 40 g C meals:
A. 200 g turkey, 1 medium avocado, 2 oz plantain chips, 1/2 apple

ASSESSMENT - PWO fuelling Why PWO: - maintain AA availability - maintain carb availability - maintain insulin elevations - drop cortisol - replenish water - replenish glycogen ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Subscap SSS Scores: less than 8 - low score - can handle high levels of macros - especially carbs PWO and can be described as "carb tolerant" 8-12 - optimal levels/healthy score - can handle higher levels of macros PWO - moderate based on recovery and retesting
OPEX Fitness © 1999-2015
12-20 - out of balance score - moderate titration from lower to higher carb over time as this number changes PWO 20+ - unhealthy score - ensure none to VERY LOW carbs PWO
Iliac SSS Scores: less than 6 - low score - can handle high levels of macros - especially carbs PWO 6-9 - optimal levels/healthy score - can handle higher levels of macros PWO - moderate based on recovery and retesting 10-20 - out of balance score - moderate titration from lower to higher carb over time as this number changes PWO 20+ - unhealthy score - ensure none to VERY LOW carbs PWO
Umbilical SSS Scores: less than 10 - low score - can handle high levels of macros - especially carbs PWO 10-20 - out of balance score - out of balance score - moderate titration from lower to higher carb over time as this number changes PWO 20+ - unhealthy score - ensure none to VERY LOW carbs PWO
75% of most clients you will get have scores totalling 55+ for these 3 sites - this is the starting point on where most prescriptions will occur 20% of clients are in change or will be changing and require "tweaks" in day to day food as well as PWO, pre WO "tweaks" 5% of these clients you can dump sugars and protein and macros in the PWO time frame
