Summary: Your Formula for Success
1) Make the wholehearted decision to make the switch to a Nutrient Rich® healthy eating
style you can call your own.2) Begin your nutrition transition by eating up to 90% or More Plant-Based Nutrient
Rich®.^ This is your most basic reference point when you eat, and as you shop, prepare, and
eat out as well. Ideally, no more than 10% of your food should come from animal or refined
nutrient-barren foods.3) Optimize your food intake for nutrient density, volume, great taste and calories. This
gives you the key parameters to focus on when you eat, in very much the same way you
would focus on intensity, frequency, and duration when it comes to exercise.4) Learn how to shop, organize, prepare, and eat out, in quick and easy ways, and how to
lose weight the nutrient-rich way. There are three more books, Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4
on this direct path to success, which will support you on your path.5) Keep your eye on The Seven Success Results to give you the added motivations that will
guide your style of eating. Is the way you are eating keeping your body clean and free of
toxicity? Is it promoting your ideal weight, improved health and personal performance? Are
you eating to age slower, look younger, and live longer?6) Think of this as your lifestyle, not a diet. You don’t want be in a position where you have
to “stick with a program” blindly your whole life. The only difference between you and the
experts is knowledge and experience, so why not become an expert? This book is your
launch pad; now learn the lifestyle skills.7) Have fun! Really, lighten up. You will always have to be more deliberate at the start of
anything, as you learn and learn and get grounded in experience. But view it as a project, a
new subject you want to master, a path to a whole new level of eating, thinking and living.
Don’t rush it, enjoy the process.When you make the Switch, you are really making the decision to change your lifestyle for the
better forever. When you change the way you eat, it will change the way you think and live.
Remember that food is only one aspect of your lifestyle. Getting enough sleep, rest, and recovery,
being active, exercising, and training are also “core essentials” of a healthy lifestyle, but even still
there is more to living a balanced and healthy lifestyle successfully and achieving your goals.
With that in mind, a whole new lifestyle premise and idea emerge—living resiliently, and what we
call a “performance lifestyle”. To eat nutrient rich successfully you will need lifestyle skills. As you
know, this isn’t just a weight loss only diet that lasts a few weeks or months only to return to how
you were living before. It’s a healthy eating style which will affect the whole of how you think and
live.
