WHAT ARE JUMPSTART & FLUSH DAYS?:
You will see that the 15 Day Fit Body
Challenge consists of jumpstart days and flush
days, which are designed to help facilitate
your goals. You may find that you lose a few
pounds each time you do a set of flush days.
Days 1, 2, 14 and 15 will all be flush days, but
we refer to days 1 and 2 as your ‘jumpstart
days’ as they could jumpstart your fat loss and
get you primed for fat burning.
You’ll notice that these days are very low in
carbs and you’ll be drinking lots of water. The
purpose of these days is to give your body a
good ‘flush’ by completely cleaning up your
nutrition choices and using the most natural
diuretic in the world – water.
The fitness industry can be full of confusing
information and false claims, but we believe
in making your fitness journey as simple as
possible by sticking to clean foods, drinking
water and pushing yourself in the gym.
JUMPSTART
& FLUSH DAYS
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS:

drop in carbs and sugars

used to.

dizziness or nausea due

(see tips on the next
page for how to remedy
this).
•
Loss of excess water
weight
•
Leaner looking body
•
A flow of positive
comments on your new
body
TIPS:
In order to use water as a diuretic, you
need to drink a lot of it – about 4 litres
per day.
When you drink this much water, you
may feel a little dizzy, achy, weak or
nauseated. This is very common and has
a simple fix – Just add a little more salt
to your food.
When you increase your water like this,
you risk ‘watering down’ your electrolyte
levels; adding a little more salt than
you’re used to doing and you will feel
much better.
After you finish these two ‘flush/jumpstart’
days, you’ll be able to move into the
moderate carb days where you can look
forward to foods like pancakes, potatoes
and rice.
