Reset. Restore. Renew.
The NODIET Method© – Three Pillars
Family-friendly, balanced eating. Love your food, build lasting habits, and never diet again. The NODIET Method rests on three pillars. Each one matters. Together they work.
Pillar 1 – Portion Control
How much you eat – measured by your own hand.
- No food scale. No calorie counting. Your hand is your portion guide.
- Build every main meal in the King / Prince / Pauper pattern: biggest meal first, smallest last. “Wear your hat and eat your food.”
- One portion per Food Group per meal. No second servings.
- Use a side plate as your guide if you’re unsure.
Pillar 2 – Time Control
When you eat – inside a 12-hour daily eating window.
- Your “food day” opens when you wake and closes 12 hours later.
- First ½ hour: Break-your-Fast with 1 protein.
- 4 hours after waking: Carb cut-off – no more carbs.
- 8 hours after waking: Fat cut-off – no more fat.
- 12 hours after waking: Start-your-Fast – all food stops.
- Free Veggies: no cut-off. Eat them all day, as much as you like.
- Fluid target: Bodyweight (kg) ÷ 10 = number of 250 ml glasses per day (e.g. 100 kg ÷ 10 = 10 glasses). Aim to drink no fluid for ½ hour before, during, or after food.
- For weight management: eat 1 real meal a day and replace 2 with a TenaZ Shake + veggies (or veggies on their own). Always Break-your-Fast with a lean protein – this is never replaced with a Shake.
Pillar 3 – Food Control
What you eat – within the five TenaZ Food Groups. At TenaZ there are only five Food Groups: Fluids, Protein, Free Veggies, Fat, and Carbs. No food group is permanently eliminated. We reduce sugar, wheat and alcohol because doing so supports your goals.
| Food Group | When | Portion |
|---|---|---|
| Fluids | All day | As per fluid target above |
| Free Veggies | All day, unlimited | At least 3 cups per meal |
| Protein | First 12 hours | 1 per meal (hand-palm size) |
| Fat | First 8 hours | 1 per meal (Tbsp / ¼ avocado / 10 nuts) |
| Carbs | First 4 hours | 1 per meal (fist-sized) |
Snacks – only if you need them:
- Mid-morning: women 1 fruit, men 2 fruit; or veggies + 1 carb.
- Treat: 1 treat snack per week – exchange it for your fruit within the first 4 hours. “Rather have a treat than a cheat.”
Step 2 – Move More
The 5-minute walk: start from a landmark, walk for 5 minutes, then mark the pavement with nail varnish. Turn around and follow the same route home. Do this twice a day. Also aim for 15 minutes of sunshine.
Step 3 – Add Your TenaZ Products (optional support)
The TenaZ Shake is a nutritional meal-replacement powder that supports a healthy, calorie-managed lifestyle as part of the NODIET Method. Mix 1 nearly full scoop (15 g) with 200 ml water or milk and drink within 15 minutes. For adults 18 and older only. Composition Support capsule – chosen by where you carry weight: Top, Bottom, All Over and / or Stress. Taken with a full glass of water.
