Learn How To Use The GL-12 Food Pyramid: The Life-Long, Fat Burning Nutrition Plan That Keeps Your Body Burning Fat Like A Furnace…All Day Long

January 13, 2010 by Shaun Hadsall 3 Comments

Never Count Calories or Weigh Your Food Again Using This Simple Way To Follow A Life-Long, Fat Burning Nutrition Plan On A Daily Basis.

After going through everybody’s comments and questions over the past 4 weeks, I’ve realized that over 10 years ago I was in the same exact place as most of you are.

I was actually a miserable and broke father desperately seeking a long-term solution on how I could follow a life-long, fat burning nutrition plan that had enough variety and flexibility to keep me from getting burned out or bored.

If you’re anything like me, you might be wondering the same thing!

I felt like I didn’t have the time, the motivation, or even the right approach to eat right forever. Think about it. It’s easy to follow a strict, fat burning nutrition plan for a week or two, but then we ALL fall off.  Plus, things like the “traditional” food pyramid and other diets are so confusing.

The “Traditional” Food Pyramid


Here’s a great, life-long approach to your nutrition plan that I use when I’m not consistently macro-patterning. This will allow you to never count calories or grams ever again and teach you a simple approach to the secret food combinations and portion control necessary to keep your body in a fat-burning environment the entire day.

We call it the GL-12 Food Pyramid and we’ve taken the traditional food pyramid and turned it on its head!

No matter how much you exercise or perform GL-12 cardio or strength training, you’ll never see visible results in your stomach or anywhere else if you don’t understand;

  • The right timing
  • The right food combinations
  • The right portion control

This is the key to controlling blood sugar and programming your metabolism to be a long term fat burner. It will also nourish your body and mind at the same time.

You see, most people are becoming fat from a “carb-overdose” OR a “carb-underdose”.

Every time you eat too many carbs in a given meal, blood sugar and insulin spike and this causes a downward spiral that completely sabotages your fat loss goals and robs you of energy and focus. First, you’re programming your body to store more fat and take your body completely out of its fat burning environment.

Second, you’re programming your body to rely on carbs so it will want to be a “carb-burner”, instead of a “fat-burner”.

Third, too many carbs consumed in one sitting will also slow down your metabolism and increase hunger cravings for more empty carbs.

Now, the opposite is also true. If you consume too little carbs or go “low-carb” for too long, your body will eventually fight back and want to store more fat.

What’s the solution? Use macro-patterning nutrition in synergy with GL-12 exercise cycling and then move to a life-long, fat burning nutrition maintenance plan to keep the weight off.

Use just enough carbs, protein, and friendly fats in each meal so that you’re never really full…AND you’re never ravishingly hungry either.

In other words, you should feel satisfied by giving your body just enough food and nutrients so that you’ll be hungry again in 2 or 3 hours. Treat your metabolism like a fire. If you don’t add a log every 2 or 3 hours, the fire (your metabolism) will burn out.

This strategic method is what stabilizes blood sugar and creates the fat-burning nutrition plan and body you’ve always wanted.

I go over the exact portion control and combination of food necessary for these benefits in today’s video.

In a nutshell here are they are. The visual cues necessary along with the proper combinations before 3pm are:

  • Carbs = Size of your clenched fist
  • Protein = Size of the palm of your hand
  • Friendly Fats = Size of the end of your thumb or about 1 tablespoon two or three times a day

Lastly and most important is to make sure you don’t consume sugars or starches after 3pm at least 5 days a week. In the video above, I explain exactly why this will make you fall victim to the dreaded “fat-spillover” even if it’s a healthy choice like fruit.

I also explain exactly what you should be eating and combining later in the day to make sure you stay in a fat-burning environment even while you sleep!

Don’t underestimate the power of this fat burning nutrition plan so you can stay on track forever!

This should be a staple in your life that will help you burn more fat on a daily basis while also having a dramatic impact on your long-term health. I know after working with thousands of people that building this habit is a lot easier said than done.

By learning how to plan ahead, making healthy choices, creating “on-the-go” fat burning snacks and using science driven supplementation you will be able to easily hit 5 or 6 small meals a day…AND save time.

That’s right. This will not take too much time, if you plan ahead. This should automatically create more time in your life because you won’t be chasing energy or a fast food line after you’ve planned ahead.

In fact, I can guarantee if you start to follow these GL12 principles, you’ll start being more productive and positive in every other area of your life.  Personal, business, family…every area will be impacted in a positive way by following these methods.

Remember…Get Lean In 12 is a journey and a process, NOT an event.

P.S. Anybody can follow this plan forever once they get to their goals. If you slip up or fall, who cares! Just look at how our other students and followers handle it:

“Crack The Fat Loss Code combined w/Get Lean In 12 have been a miracle in my life- especially around the holidays. I have lost over 15 pounds so far, and down 2 dress sizes. Fat is leaving my body in those “hard to get rid of it” places. This is very easy to follow but most importantly easy to stay on.  Slip-ups are a part of life- and this plan. It’s also very easy to get back on the plan after you do slip-up. I am most appreciative to Wendy and Shaun for such powerful information. You are making a difference in my life and for that I am most grateful!”

P.P.S. Remember to learn from MY mistakes! I personally ignored this info for over 8 years and carried about 16% body fat, over-trained and almost burned out completely.

Once I implemented the GL-12 strategies discussed above, I was completely shocked when I went to 5% in only 12 weeks and I still use these habits over 10 years later! Even though I’m just a “hillbilly” from Birch Run, Michigan and my friends and family all laughed at me…I still proved that anybody could do it. You can too.
