30 Seconds Summary
RP Diet Template 3.0 Updates

  • RP Diet Templates have been updated significantly in both content and design, now presented as PDFs with a more visually appealing single-page layout per diet phase.
  • Fat intakes are now standardized across different days, simplifying meal prep and allowing for easy dietary adjustments by merely altering carbohydrate amounts.
  • Adjustments to added fats in the diets of heavier individuals have been made to reduce their intake and better match caloric needs without overwhelming consumption.
  • Protein intake is increased to support muscle growth, prevent muscle loss, and reduce feelings of hunger, aligning with the top ranges of acceptable protein intake for adults.
  • Carbohydrate intake is increased at the expense of fats, enhancing muscle protection during fat loss and promoting better muscle gains and cognitive function during other phases.
  • Caloric programming has been refined across various body weights and phases to provide more steady transitions between fat loss and muscle gain phases, improving the effectiveness of the diet.
  • Vegetable intake recommendations have been tailored to increase during deeper phases of fat loss to enhance satiety and reduce during deep muscle gain phases to prevent excessive fullness.
