THE BFS NUTRITION SYSTEM QUICK OVERVIEWA quick overview of the BFS Tiger Nutrition System.By Dr. Greg Shepard Published: Fall 2000 RULE #1: Stay away from the Five Lethal Foods: Soda, French Fries, Potato Chips, Pastries/cookies and Candy. RULE #2: Make water, juice or milk your drink of choice. During competition, make water your drink of choice. We do not endorse sport drinks. RULE #3: Use the 40-point BFS Nutrition System. Try to get 10 points for meals plus snacks. Two points for each food item from the basic food groups. No points for any item in the Five Lethal Food Group. Ten points for a BFS Super Weight Gain drink or BFS Whey Protein. Rule #3 is for the athlete with no excess fat. However, some adherence to Eating Like A Tiger should be followed. Athletes need to get an adequate amount of protein. Usually this is at least 100 grams per day. RULE #4: For those who want to get leaner or lose fat, they can do the full Eat Like A Tiger Program: 100 or less grams of Carbs; 100 or more grams of Protein per day. A ten point Tiger Meal is a meal with 10 or less grams of carbs and 40 or more grams of protein. RULE #5: PRE-GAME MEALS: There is some evidence which would indicate that carbo loading before a competition may not be the best. The Kenyans do not. They Eat Like A Tiger. Some athletes who have a propensity for cramps are probably at greater risk when they load up on Carbs and drink acid type drinks like soda, juice or sport drinks. RULE #5: SUPPLEMENTS: In general, we downplay the use of supplements. We vigorously oppose the use of Steroids and Andro, which is now close to being officially classified as a Steroid. We absolutely are against GHB. We also have taken an official stand against endorsing Creatine. We do recognize the right of an individual to take Creatine. We caution all coaches, especially at the high school level, to not endorse, sell or distribute Creatine. Currently, we have five supplements. BFS Super Weight Gain Formula, BFS Whey Protein, Tiger Vitamins, Tiger Enzymes and Tiger Water. ALARMING NUMBERS 10% OF TEEN BOYS DRINK 8 OR MORE COKES OR SODA PER DAY. THE AVERAGE TEEN BOY DRINKS THREE COKES PER DAY. THE AVERAGE GIRL DRINKS TWO PER DAY. TYPE II DIABETES IS INCREASING AT THE RATE OF 7% PER YEAR! EATING AND DRINKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF SUGAR IS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS INCREASE. THE SOLUTION IS TO EAT LIKE A TIGER! For Example: A 12 oz Coke has 39 grams of sugar per serving (Approx seven teaspoons). If you were to drink 8 cans a day (or 96 oz {3 Big Gulps}) that’s 312 grams of sugar a day! (Approx 56 teaspoons) not to mention the 564 mg of caffeine the equivalence of three Maximum strength No-Doz pills. TIGER VITAMINS The vitamins and minerals in Tiger Vitamins come from the very best sources. All nutrients in Tiger Vitamins are in concentrations greater than 100% RDI. Vitamin H (biotin) has been heavily researched and found to be an important precursor to the absorption and assimilation of many other vitamins. Biotin is found in Tiger Vitamins at a higher concentration than any other product on the market . . . a whopping 1,333% RDI. Tiger Vitamins contain a wide variety of important minerals, 8 phyto-nutrients and 5 essential amino acids. Tiger Vitamins also contain just the right amount of potassium, which is so important when one is on the Tiger Nutrition System. TIGER ENZYMES Tiger Enzymes are for those on the Tiger Nutrition System of eating more protein foods. A tiger eats raw meat which has all of the digestive enzymes you need. However, people cook their meat which destroys all these enzymes. When you raise the temperature of foods above 118 degrees the existing food enzymes are destroyed, and the job of digestion becomes more difficult. By taking the Tiger Enzymes with each meal, you will enhance the work of your digestive system, have more energy to maintain optimal health, and have healthy red blood cells which have the most efficient exchange of oxygen and nutrients, therefore, receiving superior nutritional value from your foods. TIGER WATER Tiger Water is the premium source of coral calcium in the world. It contains over 70 important all-natural ionic minerals. The optimum environment for the free exchange of oxygen and nutrients for your red blood cells is created by Tiger Water. Just put the little tea-like bag in a liter of water, and instantly it becomes healthy, mineralized Tiger Water. It is also completely odorless and tasteless. Tiger Water improves athletic endurance levels and promotes a faster recovery time. The calcium ions in Coral Calcium are at least 1,000 times smaller than most other calcium ions. This makes it possible for them to enter the smallest cells with ease, transporting nutrients and oxygen with them. |
