SMART FAT Quick Start Guide


About the Authors
What do you get when two nationally known health and nutrition experts combine
their collective wisdom and experience to produce the ultimate eating plan for health,
weight control, and quality of life?
You get the Smart Fat Solution Program!

Steven Masley, MD, FAHA, FACN, FAAFP, CNS is a physician, nutritionist,


author, trained chef, and award-winning patient educator. His coauthor, Jonny
Bowden, PhD, CNS, is a board-certified nutritionist with a masters degree in

psychology and is the bestselling author of fourteen health books including The
Great Cholesterol Myth and The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth.
Together they have created the only program youll ever need for weight loss, higher
energy levels, increased libido, and overall great health. Although they come from vastly
different schools of thought about diet and weight loss, they independently came to the
same conclusion about the major problem in our diet. The Smart Fat Solution is their
answer to two of the most baffling questions of the decade: Why is weight loss such an
elusive and frustrating goal for so many of us? And what should we do about it?

Smart Fat Quick Start Guide


How can I getand stayhealthy? How can I have more energy? Why cant I lose
weight? What should I eat?
Those are the questions we hear most oftenand between the two of us weve probably
heard them thousands of times. After years of working with popular diets, closely
observing what workedand more important, what didntwe think we finally found
the answer. Its an optimal eating plan that features high levels of beneficial fata high
fat diet if you willcombined with three critical elements sadly missing from other
eating plans: the right amount of fiber, the right kind of protein, and a healthy dose of
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients. Thats the Smart Fat Solution.
We put together this quick start guide to get you ready to jump into the full thirty-day
program once our book, Smart Fat, goes on sale in January. This guide will get you
started on getting smart about fat, which is the single most misunderstood source of
calories on the planet. Youll learn what smart fat is, and youll learn how to harness its
amazing properties. (Get ready to unlearn a lot of what you think you already know
about good fat and bad fat.)
Well teach you to smart-fat your meals (youre going to love doing that!) and to begin
to think about nutrition in terms of our easy-to-follow 5-5-10 Smart Fat Plan. We know
many of you are looking to avoid gluten in your diet for various reasons, so all of the
recipes in this guide are gluten-free.
Use this jump-start guide and youll be ready to implement our Smart Fat Solution
Thirty-Day Plan the moment your copy of the book arrives.
And youll be all the healthier for it until then!
Lets get started!

What to Eat Every Day for the Rest of Your Life: The Magic of 5-5-10
What most people dont know about smart fats is that they are your best friend in the war
against belly fat. Thats right, the very macronutrient youve been told to avoidfat
actually helps you lose weight when you use it the right way! Fat also helps balance your
hormones, and it provides the most efficient source of energy on the planet. The trick is to
eat the right kind of fatsmart fat. Were going to teach you how to do it.
Five (5) servings of smart fat every day
Five (5) servings of clean protein every day
Ten (10) servings of fiber every day

All you have to remember are three numbers: 5, 5, and 10:


Youll never need to remember how many calories are in a cup of berries or how many
grams of sugar are in a teaspoon (four, if youre wondering).
You wont have to create a perfect plate with precisely balanced amounts of fat,
protein, and fiber every time you have a meal or snack.
All you need to do is remember this: 5 servings of smart fat (minimum), 5 servings
of clean protein (well explain what that is in a minute), and 10 servings of fiber. Every
day. Thats the framework for your daily diet. Its that easy.
What youre aiming for is a daily intake that you can configure based on your needs
and wants. The Thirty-Day Plan and recipes in our book will help you hit the mark
every time, but as you prime yourself for the Smart Fat way of life, youll want 5-5-10
to be second natureand with a little practice, it will be.

Choosing Your Food: What to Expect with Your 5-5-10 Day


The lists below will give you an idea of what your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
can look like. You dont need to remember percentages, count calories, memorize grams
of carbs, or anything else. Just think 5-5-10.
In order to get the most out of the Smart Fat Solution, particularly for weight loss,
you can follow the precise Thirty-Day Plan outlined in the book. For now, using our
approach each day will get you on the fast track to permanent change.
Smart Fats: Pick Five (5) a Day

Have at least five servings of smart fat a day. You can configure them in your diet any
way you like. For example, lets say you eat three meals and two snacks a day. You
might have one or two servings of smart fat per meal plus one serving per snack.
Alternately, you could work two or three smart fats into each meal and not worry about
including them in each of your snacks. However you choose to do it, have a minimum
of five servings of smart fats daily.
Rather than worrying about grams, think of smart fat in terms of servings. Here are
some examples. (Weve included the number of grams just in case youre interested
but you dont need to know them!)

LEARN MORE IN:

Smart Fat by Steven Masley, M.D. and Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., CNS
www.smartfat.com

an avocado (14 grams)


1 ounce (handful) of nutsour favorites are almonds (14 grams), pistachios
(13 grams), pecans (20 grams), walnuts (18 grams), hazelnuts (17 grams),
and macadamia nuts (15 grams)
1 tablespoon nut oil (from any of the nuts listed above)
(approximately 14 grams)
1 tablespoon virgin or extra-virgin olive oil (14 grams)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (14 grams)
1 tablespoon MCT oil (14 grams)
2 large whole eggs (organic, cage-free) (10 grams)
2 extra-large whole eggs (organic, cage-free) (12 grams)
6-8 ounces fatty fish, such as wild-caught salmon, sardines,
or herring (10 grams)
1 ounce dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cocoa) (12 grams)

You can also have moderate amounts of what we call neutral fats. Examples are butter
from grass-fed cows, cold-pressed oils like sesame oil, fat from foods like grass-fed beef,
cage-free and organic poultry, or natural peanut butter such as the kind you grind yourself
in some markets. See chapter 7 of our book for more information on peanut and other
nut butters.
Clean Protein: Pick Five (5) a Day

All of us have a protein numberthe ideal amount of protein we should be consuming


on a regular basis, stated in grams per day. Depending on your age, gender, weight, and
weight-loss goals, your protein number will vary, but we can say without a doubt that
most people simply dont get enough protein. Its shocking but true. We recommend that
you aim for a minimum of 20 grams of protein at every meal. If you pick five protein
servings a day from foods on our list, youll easily meet this goal. Lets be clear, though,
that 20 grams is a minimum per meal, not a maximum. Even if youre having a salad for
lunch, its easy enough to up the protein content by just adding some chicken, fish, or
even beans!
But were not talking about just any old kind of protein.
To get the real benefits of the Smart Fat Solutionand there are manyplease remember
that the only protein we endorse is what we call clean protein. When protein meets our
definition of clean we dont worry at all about whether or not its lean. (In fact, its only
when you cant get clean protein that you should default to lean protein. If your protein
is clean, theres no need to worry about the fat in it. If its the opposite of cleanwhat we
call mean proteinthen you should definitely trim the fat!

Examples of mean protein would be fried chicken, typical fast food (and
restaurant) burgers, sausage, and deli meatsplus, anything with added nitrates,
hormones, or chemicals. Thats the kind of protein that Americans eat too much
of. Clean protein comes from organic, grass-fed meat, pastured pork, free-range
poultry, and eggs.
Here are some single-serving clean protein options that deliver slightly varying
amounts of protein. Once again, you neednt memorize any of this, nor do you
need to worry about grams or ounces. Think instead of servingsthe 5-5-10
program is the only template you need. As before, weve included the number of
grams and ounces for those who might be interested, but its nothing you really
need to worry about.
4 ounces grass-fed beef (about 28 grams)
(sirloin has 30 grams; prime rib has 27 grams)
4 ounces pastured pork tenderloin (24 grams)
4 ounces leg of lamb (33 grams)
4 ounces free-range poultry, dark meat (19 grams)
4 ounces free-range poultry, breast meat (24 grams)
4 ounces coho (silver) salmon (preferably wild-caught) (28 grams)
4 ounces tilapia (28 grams)
3 cage-free, organic eggs (18-24 grams)
(large eggs have about 6 grams; jumbo eggs have about 8 grams)
1 heaping cup cooked lentils (20 grams)
1 cups cooked black beans (20 grams)

You may be surprised to find a lot of animal protein on this list, foods that you
arent used to eating or preparing. But remember: were not telling you to consume
animal foods five times a day (though you certainly could, provided that it was
clean). What we are telling you is to eat five servings of protein a day. That (clean)
protein can come from any sourcenot just animal foods.
Its even possible to follow this program as a vegetarian. Both of us follow this
program, yet Steven doesnt eat red meat at all and Jonny eats it frequently!
Fiber: Pick Ten (10) a Day

Fiber should come from vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, a small portion of
whole (unprocessed) grains (optional), and perhaps a fiber supplement.
Some foodslike avocadoare surprisingly good sources of fiber and fat.
Colorful fiber choices will add texture and variety to your plate and help you feel
full and satisfied.

LEARN MORE IN:

Smart Fat by Steven Masley, M.D. and Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., CNS
www.smartfat.com

Youre going to aim for at least 30 grams of fiber every day, which will put you way
ahead of most Americans. (For the record, our Paleolithic ancestors typically
consumed 50 or more grams a day!)
In Stevens clinic, fiber intake was one of the metrics that most successfully predicted
weight loss. Patients consuming the most fiber lost the most weight! At least a dozen
studies have confirmed this relationship between fiber intake and healthy weight, not
to mention all the other important measures of good health that improve with greater
fiber intake.
Vegetables

Most vegetables have about 1 gram of fiber per serving or 3 grams of fiber per cup.
By eating a mere 2 cups of vegetableswhich can easily be consumed at one meal
youve just consumed 2 of the recommended 10 servings.

1 cup broccoli (2.9 grams)


1 cup asparagus (3 grams)
1 cup cooked (or 7.5 cups raw) spinach (1 gram)
1 cup cooked kale (2.8 grams)
1 cup green peas (4 grams)
1 cup green beans (2.5 grams)
of a Hass, or California, avocado (5.9 grams)
of a Florida avocado (4.3 grams)
of a large cooked artichoke (3.3 grams)
1 medium sweet potato (3.5 grams)
1 cup boiled purple potatoes (3 grams)
1 cup okra (5.2 grams)
1 cup chopped tomatoes (1.8 grams)
1 cup butternut squash (2.9 grams)
1 cup fennel (2.7 grams)
1 cup Brussels sprouts (3.3 grams)

Beans and Legumes

The real fiber heavyweights are beans and legumes. Though beans differ in their fiber
content, on average 1 cup of cooked beans provides a whopping 15 grams of fiber, or
5 of your 10 fiber servings. Even 1/2 cup of cooked legumesa tiny amount, really
counts as 2.5 of your 10 fiber servings! If beans upset your stomach, then you likely
dont tolerate the lectins that beans contain. (Lectins are sugars that some people just
dont digest.) Be sure to read the section in Smart Fat on sprouting beans so you can
discover how to enjoy the numerous benefits from beans without the distress.

LEARN MORE IN:

Smart Fat by Steven Masley, M.D. and Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., CNS
www.smartfat.com

Here are 1/2-cup examples:

Black or red beans (7.5 grams)


Lentils (8 grams)
Chickpeas (7 grams)
Split peas (8 grams)
Edamame (7.5 grams)

Fruit

An average serving of fruit has 3 grams of fiber, or a single serving of fiber.


Here are some examples:

1 medium apple (3 grams)


1 medium pear (5 grams)
1 cup blueberries (3.5 grams)
1 medium orange (3.1 grams)
cup raspberries (2.9 grams)
1 cup halved strawberries (3 grams)
1 cup sliced peaches (2.8 grams)
1 cups cubed pineapple (3.3 grams)

Select Grains

We are not huge fans of grains for many reasons, but its certainly possible to include
moderate amounts of certain grains providing you have no sensitivity to them.
(Many people do!) The grain examples we give are gluten-free, for those of you who
are gluten-sensitive or simply trying to eliminate gluten from your diet.
An average 1-cup serving of grain has 3 grams of fiber, or 1 fiber serving. Note:
Dont have more than one serving of grain at any single meal; limit your grain intake
to three servings a day, maximum. (In our opinion, less is bettergrains present
food-intolerance challenges for many people, and they increase blood sugar levels in
nearly everyone.)
We feel its much better to get your fiber from vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts,
and legumes.
For those who tolerate them, here are some examples of grains together with their
fiber content.

1 cup steel-cut oats, cooked (equivalent to cup uncooked) (4 grams)


cup quinoa, cooked (5 grams) (counts as two servings)
cup brown rice, cooked (2.6 grams)
cup wild rice, cooked (3 grams)

What You Shouldnt Eat


The foods that are the most harmful do two things that are extremely detrimental to
both your waistline and your health: they increase inflammation and they worsen blood
sugar control. These are the foods that cause accelerated aging, andwith the possible
exception of an occasional treatyoull want to avoid them.
The first group of foods to avoid are those that cause a sudden jump in blood sugar
levels, and these include anything made with sugar or flour. As youll discover in Smart
Fat, flour and sugar have the same effect on blood sugar levels. Not good!
The second group are foods that increase inflammation. Top of the list? Once again,
flour and sugarthis time joined by bad (or what we call dumb) fats. Examples of bad
fats are partially hydrogenated (or trans) fats, fats that have been damaged by high heat
or repeated heatings (fast food restaurants), and highly refined vegetable oils like corn,
soybean, safflower, and sunflower oils.

Beyond Diet, What Is Smart for Life?


In addition to the eating plan outlined in Smart Fat, well give you the details on
supplements, sleep, exercise, and stress management, all critical components of a weight
loss program. (Surprised? Consider this: Stress hormones create belly fat!)
For now, aim to do the following every day:
Take a good quality multivitamin.
Get active! If nothing else, take a walk five or six days every week.
Get at least seven to eight hours of good quality sleep each night.
Share love and affection daily. (Hint: in addition to making other people feel good,
itll lower your stress hormones!)
Have purpose and challenge every day.
Summary

So in a nutshell, here are the basics: 5 servings of smart fat, 5 servings of clean protein,
10 servings of fiber, every day. In our book, Smart Fat, well outline the next steps in
vivid detailthe two phases of the Smart Fat Solution Thirty-Day Plan.
Following our 5-5-10 framework right now, over the next few weeks, will set you up for
success when youre ready to dive into the Thirty-Day Plan.
Good luck! And well see you in January!

Turkey Dinner
Brined and Roasted Turkey
Serve your loved ones a succulent turkey with moist meat and fabulous flavor. Ideally, order a free-range, organic-fed turkey in
advance for your holiday. Brining a turkey adds time and an extra step, but it really does help prevent the meat from drying out and
provides a flavorful moist delight.
One 16- to 20-pound fresh whole turkey,

In a pot big enough to hold the turkey, combine wine, salt, herbs,

giblets and neck removed from cavity

peppercorns, onion, and water. Stir until salt is mostly dissolved.

B R I N E SO LU T IO N INGRE D IENTS

2 cups dry white wine


1 cups coarse salt
2 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning

Completely submerge the turkey in this solution, cover, and


refrigerate for 12 to 36 hours.
Remove turkey and pat dry with paper towels. Let stand for 1 to 2
hours at room temperature. Heat oven to 450F.

1 tablespoon peppercorns

Prepare basting sauce by placing butter, oil, white wine, salt,

1 onion, diced

pepper, herbs, and lemon rind in a medium bowl. Mix until

7 to 8 quarts water

combined.

S M A R T B U T T ER BASTING SAUC E

1 stick unsalted organic butter


cup extra-virgin olive oil

If the turkey comes with a pop-up timer, discard it; an instant-read


thermometer is much more reliable. Place turkey on a roasting rack,
breast side up. Fold wing tips under turkey. Tie legs together

1 cup dry white wine (Riesling, Chablis)

loosely with kitchen string (a bow will be easy to untie later).

1 teaspoon sea salt

Warm basting sauce until melted, then using a pastry brush, baste

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

exposed turkey with 4 tablespoons of sauce. Soak cheese cloth or

1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning

a small clean kitchen towel in a bowl and moisten with water, then

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

squeeze it slightly, leaving it very damp. Spread it evenly over the


turkey breasts. Place the turkey in the oven on the lowest rack, so
breast is facing the front of the oven.
Cook for 30 minutes. Gently remove cheese cloth. Baste turkey
again. Reduce oven temperature to 350F and continue to cook for
2 more hours, basting every 30 minutes and watching pan juices;
if the pan gets too full, spoon out juices, reserving them for gravy.
After a total of 3 hours of baking, insert an instant-read
thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Do not poke into
a bone. After a few tests, the temperature should reach at least
170-175F (if you are using stuffing, the stuffing temperature should
be between 160F and 165F, no less than 160F) and the turkey
should be golden brown. The breast does not need to be checked
for temperature. If turkey is below 170F, baste turkey with pan
juices using a pastry brush, and return turkey, legs first, to the oven.
Cook and baste every 20 to 30 minutes, until temperature is
170-175F.

Meanwhile, make the gravy. Pour all the pan juices into a glass

10 minutes, then skim it off.
