All three-step approach of hormonal, caloric and pH balance. Our large selection of delicious meals and snacks is the fundamental tool in helping you achieve your personal health goals. Whether it is weight loss, athletic training or disease prevention you are seeking, start by following our three simple steps to get there!

Step 1 Eat in hormonal balance
Hormones are the messengers in the body that work to maintain the balance and regulation of all systems. Examples of hormones are insulin, testosterone and estrogen. Hormones have a domino effect in the body, meaning one reaction will cause another which in turn causes another. Maintaining hormonal balance improves energy levels, promotes weight loss and may help prevent, and even reverse, disease processes such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

To eat in a hormonally balanced manner, the best ratio to follow is the 40:30:30 Method of Eating. In other words, the breakdown of your meals should look like this:

40% carbohydrates
30% protein
30% fat
All of the meal plans you will find on Truestar site, with the exclusion of certain restricted diets (gluten-free diets and dairy-free wheat-free diets), are hormonally balanced. Gluten-free diets and dairy-free wheat-free diets are as hormonally balanced as possible.


Step 2 Eat in caloric balance
Calories from carbohydrates, fats and proteins provide the fuel necessary to run the body. Research clearly shows that consuming fewer calories is one of the best anti-aging steps to take. In fact, most of the prevalent diseases occurring today such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease are due to over indulgence. At Truestar, we believe you should eat until you are sufficiently sufficed, not stuffed! In other words, we encourage you to eat meals and snacks until you are 80% full.

Our nutritional program will provide you with the exact number of calories you need to maintain your current body weight or, in our weight loss section, the number of calories required to lose weight. The scientific equation used to calculate the number of calories specific for you include the following:

Your age
Your sex
Your height
Your weight
Your activity level
With the delicious meals we have created using fruits, vegetables, slow-burning carbohydrates, lean proteins and essential fats, our members will be able to consume plenty of healthy and tasty food while losing weight and feeling energized.


Step 3 Eat in pH balance

Balanced body chemistry is of the utmost importance for the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease. The scale used to measure the acid/alkaline balance in the body is called pH scale (potential of hydrogen). The normal pH level of saliva ranges from 6.8 to 7. A higher level shifts you to a more alkaline state and a lower level shifts you to a more acidic state.

All foods are burned in the body, leaving behind an ash residue that is either acidic or alkaline, depending on the mineral composition of the food. It has been determined that for optimal health the body should be slightly more alkaline than acidic. In other words, 70 to 80% of the food you eat should be derived from alkaline-forming foods such as leafy greens, most fruits, soy products and seeds; only 20 to 30% should be derived from acid-forming foods such as grains, red meat and dairy products. By eating within this ratio, the body is protected from a state of acidosis which can create an opportune environment for disease, infection and inflammation. All Truestar meal plans have been created with an emphasis on alkaline foods such as vegetables, most fruits and lean proteins. Please refer to the charts below for information on alkaline- vs. acid-forming foods.
