The New You Switch Plan Guide: Tailoring Carbs to Your GoalsUpdated a month ago

Embark on a weight management journey that fits your lifestyle! The New You Switch Plan helps you lose or maintain weight with a flexible approach. Whether you're aiming for ketosis or simply managing calories, here’s how to structure your carb intake for each phase of the plan.


Boost Days (800 Calories or Less)

Boost Days are designed for rapid progress and can be adapted based on your carb preference:

Keto Approach: Aim for under 50g of carbs per day to encourage ketosis. Stick to Total Diet Replacement (TDR) products and low-carb vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, or courgette.

Non-Keto Approach: Stay under 80-100g of carbs per day while keeping within 800 calories. This allows for more variety, such as a small portion of whole foods like yogurt or berries.

Boost Day Options:

  • Total Boost: 800 calories or less using only New You TDR products. Simple and effective.
  • Balance Boost: Mix TDR packs with a low-calorie, low-carb meal (e.g., a salad or protein-based dish).

Pairing Boost Days with intermittent fasting can enhance fat burning and ensure a calorie deficit, making them the backbone of rapid progress.


Nourish Days (Above 800 Calories)

Nourish Days allow for more flexibility while still maintaining a weight loss or maintenance approach:

Keto Approach: Keep carbs under 50g per day while increasing healthy fats and proteins for satiety.

Non-Keto Approach: Stay between 100-150g of carbs per day, allowing for balanced meals with lean proteins, whole grains, and fruits while still controlling calories.

Nourish Day Options:

  • Simple Nourish: One ordinary meal alongside TDR meal packs, possibly incorporating intermittent fasting.
  • Relax Nourish: Two or three low-calorie meals to fit your daily needs while maintaining control.

Nourish Days provide balance, helping to prevent restriction while keeping progress on track.


Occasion Days (Planned Day Off)

Occasion Days are for those special moments when you want to relax and enjoy food without tracking too closely.

No strict carb limit, but being mindful of excessive refined carbs and sugars will help prevent setbacks.
✔ Enjoy the day guilt-free, but aim to keep these days minimal if weight loss is your goal.


Sprints (5+ Boost Days in a Row)

Sprints are designed for fast fat loss and health benefits:

Best results for rapid fat loss: Keep carbs under 50g per day for the entire Sprint period.
Non-Keto Sprint: Maintain a calorie deficit while keeping carbs low to moderate to maximise results.

Even if maintaining weight, an occasional Sprint can act as a reset for your body and mindset.


With the New You Switch Plan, you have the power to tailor your diet to your goals. Whether you’re boosting, nourishing, enjoying an occasion, or sprinting towards success, you can create an effective and enjoyable weight management journey!
