This program is designed around your day. There are too many rules to follow in most programs that really do not make a difference. You must be able to follow a program that is designed for your daily routine otherwise you are destined to fail. We do implement 5 – 6 meals per day but the time in which these meals are consumed will be based on your schedule. We believe that you can eat right until bed. Meals are consumed during your 24 hour clock not ones that are set for you.
