DISCLAIMER: For education only. No guarantees and/or warranties of fitness for any particular purpose are made. You are responsible for determining the
nutritional soundness and safety of your own dietary plan. Consult a licensed medical professional if you require medical advice, and a licensed nutritionist if you

Taking full ownership and responsibility for a Food Plan which YOU create is your first and best offensive move against your fat-thinking-alter-ego (“the Pig”).
The “Starter Templates” in the following pages are therefore intended to be modified for your personal needs. Of course, you should seek counsel from
experts to inform your decisions. But “trying out” other people’s diets is a type of dependency which gives your Pig the opportunity to take control at any time
as follows: "Must’ve been a bad plan that nutritionist, doctor, or diet-guru recommended. You'll have to talk to them about it. Or else we’ll have to find
someone else to follow. Oh well, in the meantime we might as well just Binge. Yummy!!!" —Your Pig
Notwithstanding the above, it can be very helpful to have some of the blanks filled in for you as you get started. It is in this spirit we offer the Starter
Templates, and we’ve worked hard to ensure there’s one for virtually every nutritional philosophy. Each template is comprised of four categories:
➢ NEVERS: What foods, drinks, and behaviors will you never indulge in again as long as you live?
➢ ALWAYS: What will you always do regarding food, drink, and food behaviors?
➢ UNRESTRICTED: What foods, drinks, and food behaviors will you permit yourself to have without restriction?
➢ CONDITIONALS: What foods, drinks, and behaviors will you permit only at certain times, in certain amounts, and/or restricted by other conditions?
(WARNING: Specify these in exquisite detail so there’s no ambiguity whatsoever about when the light is red vs. green. Avoid yellow lights. In the
Pig’s way of thinking, yellow = bright green. And red-ish = bright green too!)
Most people find it easiest to develop a solid Food Plan by first writing down the strictest set of rules in each category which would allow
the Pig absolutely NO wiggle room—then loosening the boundaries until it’s clear there’s be enough nutrition and enjoyment to sustain
satisfaction on the plan indefinitely. Many of the templates are therefore presented in a much stricter form than you will be able to adopt if you
attempt to use them as is. Most people will need to make significant modifications. For example, on any given plan you may wish to move some of the
Nevers to the Conditionals section, or delete several of the rules entirely. You may also wish to add rules specific to your nutritional needs, or simply
for your own pleasure. You may borrow concepts and rules from one template and move them to another.

The bottom line is, it’s YOUR plan… change it however you like! As long as the final result is easy to remember, nutritionally sound, and 100%
unambiguous you’ll be fine. And don’t feel constrained by the formatting of the Starter Templates. There’s NO reason you have to keep the columns, or even
force it to fit on a single page. You also don’t have to use the four categories above—they’re just a convenient structure to help you think things through. The
plans are listed in no particular order, so please be sure to page all the way through the document to find one which is closest to your nutritional philosophy.
This is an evolving document. Check for periodic free updates at www.NeverBingeAgain.com. And please know the author does not personally endorse any
of the plans enclosed, and in fact may vehemently disagree with many of them, but has presented a full spectrum to respect the fact that what you choose to
put on your plate vs. your Pig’s trough is a very private matter.
Just one more thing, and it’s VERY important! Although some people find it helpful to create and adopt a comprehensive Food Plan right out of the gate,
others find this overwhelming and find more success by just starting with ONE clear line in the sand. This is a perfectly acceptable—often preferable—way to
set yourself up for success. Confidently adopting and reaping the benefits of ONE rule which protects you from a troubling food (or food behavior) can build
the necessary momentum to adopt the next.

Sugar and Flour Addict
Some people who have exhaustively battled refined sugar and flour find it easier to adopt a plan which excludes
them entirely. This is often more effective when alcohol is also excluded as a never (not shown here.) Some
people take it a step further and exclude artificial sweeteners. There is no nutritional need for refined sugar,
flour, or alcohol in the body.

Vegetarian Variations
Please note that rather than creating separate starter templates for each subtype of vegetarian Food Plans we
have condensed them into one and indicated those rules belonging only to specific subtypes with parenthetical
comments. You should delete the lines which don’t apply to the particular subtype you have chosen. (You can
also then delete the parenthetical comments)
7
Whole Foods
Some people do best with a very minimalistic set of rules focused on a “clean” way of eating.
8
For Grazers and Over-Snackers
For some people, the central problem with their eating behavior is frequency, and creating a fasted state
between meals is all that’s really required to achieve their health and fitness goals.
