Vegetables*: Different types of vegetables provide
different nutrients, so it is very important to consume a
variety. Try to eat at least two colors of RAW veggies a
day. Also include dark-green leafy vegetables several
times a week since they are rich sources of vitamins and
minerals. Keep in mind that you do need a little fat
with your veggies to assimilate the nutrients. Examples:
grated Parmesan or sharp cheddar cheese, almonds,
olive oil, or butter. White potatoes tend to create the
same effect as white rice (cause too much insulin), but
you can have sweet potatoes everyday.
Fruit*: Remember fruit is considered God's candy and
should be limited to no more than 2 servings a day
because of high sugar content. Preferably choose fresh
fruit, but frozen or canned is alright. Consumption of
dried fruit should be modified since most contain
sulphur, a preservative, as well as concentrated sugar.
Additionally, limit the consumption of fruit juice since
most lack fiber, which makes it easier to over-consume.
Carb overload, including juice, is what creates excess
insulin and fat conversion. For better balance, add nuts
or other protein with fruit or fruit juice to prevent
excess insulin production. Count only 100 percent fruit
juice as fruit.
Carbohydrates are not the problem. The problem is
that as the body ages it cannot digest, assimilate, or
eliminate carbohydrates as efficiently. The secret to
success is balanced carbohydrate consumption. Noncarbohydrate or high protein diets can be dangerous
because they do not allow proper conversion of glucose
to energy. In fact, the body will use protein for energy
if necessary when deprived of carbohydrates. This
results
with
breakdown
of
muscle
tissue!
Carbohydrates are necessary for energy and protein is
necessary to build and repair tissue. GM/MM Plan will
give the body its necessary components (protein,
carbohydrates, and fats) to rebuild, repair, and
eliminate. After you rebuild your body as a “machine”
and achieve your goal, you only need to do a T-Tapp
workout once or twice a week to maintain your results.
Best of all, the combination of the T-Tapp Workout and
GM/MM Plan allows you to eat without guilt… never diet
or deprive yourself again! Life is too short to not enjoy
good food!
God Made - Man Made
Dietary Guidelines
*Guidelines for God Made carbohydrate consumption.
Bread, Grain, and Rice*: Quality is the primary focus
when consuming foods from this category. Whole grain
breads without preservatives are your best choice.
Examples for GM days: Ezekiel and Manna breads, brown
rice, wild rice, whole oats, spelt grain, Alpen cereal, and
Arrowhead spelt flake cereal. Recent research reveals
that consumption of whole grain cereals, such as
oatmeal, assists the body with easier weight
loss/management.
Sugar and Fat*: Foods that are high in sugars, even GM
honey and dried fruit, should be consumed in
moderation. Additionally, foods high in fat, even GM
butter and olive oil, should be used sparingly at the
table or during cooking. To help prevent weight gain
avoid foods containing trans fat, high fructose corn
syrup, or artificial sugar.
Beverages*: Drink your water! Water not only aids in
hydration and weight loss, but it also aids the body for
better digestion, assimilation, and elimination. Other
beverages of choice are unsweetened hot tea (green or
black), iced tea, or coffee. Drinking soda, especially
diet, should be avoided.
In conclusion, with GM/MM Plan you can enjoy the foods
you want and not feel like you are depriving yourself.

GOD MADE/MAN MADE DIETARTY GUIDELINES
FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS
Welcome to the T-Tapp Team! This information is to help
those that really want to focus on both the T-Tapp
workout and a healthier, balanced diet. T-Tapp’s God
Made/Man Made Dietary Plan will help you to maximize
your results by eating healthier, but still allow you to
enjoy the foods you love!
T-Tapp’s God Made/Man Made Plan is a straightforward
way of training your body to process Man Made
carbohydrates to keep weight under control. This is not
just another fad diet. With GM/MM you don’t have to
calorie count. Teresa has worked with thousands of
people over the years and this plan has proved its
effectiveness. Teresa believes in John Hopkins medical
research, which states that women need 55%
carbohydrates in order to prevent bone density loss. The
John Hopkins study proves that one should not cut
carbohydrates completely out of their diet.
If
carbohydrates are totally eliminated from the diet the
body’s metabolic rate changes, therefore once added
back in the weight lost quickly comes back and most gain
more. Plus, carbohydrates are necessary for energy. This
is why Teresa suggests trying to maintain a ratio of 55%
carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 15% fat in your diet.
The T-Tapp workout will help you rebuild your inner core,
which in turn increases your resting glucose utilization
rate and boosts your overall base metabolic rate.
Therefore, you will be able to enjoy your carbohydrates
(even Man Made) without fear of gaining weight or
retaining water. Did you realize that for every gram of
carbohydrate consumed the body retains 3 grams of
water? That’s why high protein/low carb diets initially
create quick weight loss.
T-Tapp really is more than a workout. It helps the body
rebuild primary functions such as digestion and
elimination to allow better assimilation of nutrients from
food and supplements. T-Tapp also helps the body
rebuild neuro-kinetic flow (from the brain to the muscles)
as well as improve lymphatic function. Teresa offers
these dietary guidelines for quicker and easier weight loss
and weight management, but does not offer specific
eating plans. This brochure is designed to give you the
basics about how to use the GM/MM Plan and help you
choose the foods that fit.

Man Made Carbohydrates
These carbohydrates tend to create weight gain, even
if they are fat free, not only because the body easily
converts them to glucose, which in excess becomes
stored as fat, but also because of their chemical
calories. Chemical calories (additives, preservatives,
artificial flavors, and colors) complicate the body’s
ability to digest, assimilate, and eliminate. Therefore,
greater amounts of glucose become converted and
stored as fat in fat cells. Once fat cells are full, the
body then creates more fat cells. Unfortunately, when
fat cells are created they are either empty or full… but
never go away! Samples of MM Carbs: breads, pastas,
cookies, candy, cakes, bagels, most breakfast cereals,
chips, and crackers.
God Made Carbohydrates
These carbohydrates do not cause weight gain,
primarily because they are nutritionally balanced
without preservatives or additives. Their balance of
vitamins, minerals, and fiber promote digestion,
assimilation, and elimination.
However, white
potatoes and corn (although GM) can cause weight gain
because of their high glycemic index. So, they should
be consumed as MM foods. Samples of GM Carbs:
vegetables, fruits, meats, and whole grains.
Basically, with the T-Tapp program you should eat
everything in moderation. Don’t worry about a super
strict plan. Teresa believes that you do not have to
eliminate any food completely out of your diet.
Teresa knows that people are going to eat their MM
carbohydrates, so she designed a straightforward plan
that is easy to incorporate as part of a healthy life
style.
call this their “cheat day”. However, remember to
enjoy the foods you love in moderation.
To get back on track after your cheat day, simply
resume eating GM for the following two days. The
reason why this plan works is because you are giving
your body a mini break from MM weight-gain food types,
which allows it to process and eliminate the
preservatives and excess glucose you consumed on your
cheat day.
This way your body will not become
overloaded and create more fat cells. T-Tapp’s GM/MM
Plan was created to help rebuild your body’s ability to
process MM carbohydrates again!
The best part is that once you achieve your goals you
can eat MM carbohydrates every other day and still
maintain your progress. Never go longer than four days
without MM carbohydrates because “carb cravings” will
occur and be too difficult to avoid.
Once you’ve achieved desired results proceed to an
every other day schedule. Don’t worry if you decide to
consume MM carbohydrates every day (like during the
holidays, special occasions, and vacations) or if you
“cheat” with MM carbohydrates for more than a week.
Just resume the every third day plan for about two
weeks along with your T-Tapp workout schedule. After
that you’ll be back on track. Eating MM carbohydrates
two days in a row is not something to be overly
concerned about, just try your best to get back on track
and always remember to eat in moderation!
Protein: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Beans, and Nuts*:
Choose lean meat, poultry without skin, fish, and
beans often. These are the choices lowest in fat.
Prepare meats in low fat ways: Trim away all the fat
you can see, remove skin from poultry, and broil,
grill, roast, or boil these foods instead of frying them.
2. For two days, in between, only consume GM
carbohydrates. For example: meat, veggies, soups,
salads… and fruit in moderation. This is what we call
“eating clean”.
Even though nuts and seeds are high in fat, their
nutritional value is also very high. The body needs
quality fat to better digest, assimilate, and eliminate.
Always try to choose raw nuts and seeds over roasted.
Roasting not only destroys nutritional content, but it
also destroys alkalinity. Acid/alkalinity is an important
factor for easier weight loss as well as better health.
Raw nuts, especially almonds, create alkalinity in the
body to help offset MM carbohydrates.
3. On the third day, relax and enjoy the foods you
love. Don’t worry about eating MM carbohydrates! For
example: have a bagel and cream cheese for
breakfast, a pasta dinner, or even a dessert. Learn to
listen to your body. What does it really want?
Although certain cravings may initially occur,
eventually this bio-chemical imbalance will neutralize,
especially if you are doing the T-Tapp workout. Many
Dairy*: Dairy products can be eaten on GM days. In fact
clinical studies verify that the consumption of dairy
actually assists the body for easier weight loss and
weight management. Teresa highly promotes the
consumption of hormone free dairy products. When
shopping choose skim or low fat products, not fat free.
Fat free dairy tends to contain more sugar. Reading
labels is important!
1. Limit Man Made carbohydrates to every third day.
