Let’s Begin
In conjunction with consuming our teas, the team at Bondi Beach Tea
Co. have designed a diet and exercise plan to maximise your results.
* N.B. for additional health ideas and tips, don’t forget to visit our
Facebook and Instagram pages.
Let’s Begin
Whether you have decided it is time to kick yourself into shape,
prepare to be ‘bikini beautiful’, or simply give your body the boost it
deserves, there is no better time to start than now! Starting is often
the hardest part of anybody makeover or new health regime. The
right guidance and advice provides you the best chance possible of
being successful and maintaining motivation.
The tips you will find throughout this e-book are not only designed for
weight loss. We have planned this guide around helping you to fight
the bulge as well as live a happier and healthier lifestyle. Because
there is more to losing weight, getting into shape and feeling great
than just your changing diet and packing in extra exercise.
So, grab a cup of your favourite Bondi Beach Tea Co. blend and soak
up the expert advice our team have gathered to make your journey as
smooth and as successful as possible.
What to Avoid on our Program?
If you have ever dipped and dived through the dieting and exercise
pool, you will know there are some typical roadblocks that can hinder
desired results. To be victorious with your battle against the bulge (or
your new health regime) the first rule of importance is to rid your body
of the standard nasties such as processed snacks, sweets and fatty
foods. However, for ultimate success, it is vital to be wary of the foods
that can plain and simply wreak havoc on your metabolism.
Listed below are foods we recommend you avoid on our Bondi Beach
Tea Co. plan and those which we like to refer to as ‘metabolism death
foods’.
Sugar
The number one rule on our program is to avoid eating SUGAR!
Too much sugar can be more detrimental to your health regime
than eating fat.
Often, ‘sugar’ is disguised under names you would not necessarily
associate. Some of the sugars incognito
are called:
• corn syrup
• dextrose
• fructose
• juice concentrate
• maltodextrin
• raw sugar
• brown sugar

Sugar
Sugar in the form of sweet drinks and snacks such as soft drinks,
flavoured drinks, flavoured milk, cordial, chocolate bars, some
cereals and muesli bars, fast food and of course lollies need to be
avoided at all costs. Also, watch out for the hidden sugars in items
such as health foods, including granola bars, protein bars, fruit juices
and salad dressings.

What to Avoid on our Program?
Some Dairy Products
Not all dairy products are bad, but we recommend the
following as a guideline.
Swap hard cheeses for cottage cheese or brie. Soft cheeses are
usually lower in calories, can be digested easily and contain
calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium,
selenium and zinc.
Wheat
As with sugar, all wheat products should be avoided while
detoxing.

What to Avoid on our Program?
Nuts, Seeds and Wholegrains
Nuts and seeds should be consumed in moderation only. They contain
a very high calorie and fat content and can cause weight gain when
consumed in more than one snack-sized serving.
* Quick tip: make simple substitutes such as fresh fruit instead of lollies, baked
chickpeas instead of popcorn, smoothies instead of frappuccinos, banana and egg
mix instead of pancake batter, hummus instead of mayonnaise or baked veggies
instead of potato chips to vastly improve one’s wellbeing.
Alcohol
With 150 calories in one regular 150ml glass of wine, or 195 calories in one
standard schooner of beer, it’s no wonder alcohol is a huge contributor to weight
gain and has a snowball effect on health issues. Wines, beers, spirits, etc. should
be eliminated, especially considering that many alcoholic beverages are wheat
based and contain gluten proteins.
Coffee
During your detox, avoid or limit yourself to 1-2 cups per day of black coffee with
little to no unsweetened almond or rice milk. Coffee influences your metabolism
rate and may affect the results of your detox program when you are aiming for a
flatter tummy and overall weight loss.
* Quick tip: a cup of matcha green tea has just a hint of caffeine to give you
a gentle boost and is a healthier alternative to drinking coffee.
Additional Tips
• Get enough sleep (aim for 7 to 9 hours
every night), as lack of sleep can cause
significant changes in the body and
increases the risk of more serious health
issues. A European study concluded that
those who generally sleep for less than six
hours a night are 12% more likely to
experience a premature death.*

What to Eat?
Once you have mastered the removal of
the ‘metabolism death foods’ and others
that should be discarded from your diet,
focus on the foods which are metabolism-friendly
and full of added benefits. Try to enjoy some protein,
fibre and healthy fat as part of every meal.
Kale
This leafy green provides 1.3g of fibre in addition to a hearty helping
of iron and calcium. For every cup of raw. kale, you only consume
34 calories. Did you know, a serving of kale has more absorbable
calcium than a small carton of milk and is easily absorbed in our
body.*

What to Eat?
Paw Paw Leaf tea
Paw paw, also known as papaya
or papaw, has traditionally been
used for hundreds of years as a
health tonic.
The leaf of the paw paw is high in
papain, an enzyme which may
help improve digestion and
alleviate constipation.
Paw paw may also help break down carbohydrates in the digestive
tract, improve important nutrient absorption and support a healthy
immune system*.
Kale
This leafy green provides 1.3g of fibre in addition to a hearty helping
of iron and calcium. For every cup of raw. kale, you only consume
34 calories. Did you know, a serving of kale has more absorbable
calcium than a small carton of milk and is easily absorbed in our
body.*
*Quick tip: Spinach is another healthy, beneficial green
leafy vegetable that you can consider as an alternative to kale.
Broccoli
Well-known for being high in fibre, broccoli contains less than
30 calories per serving regardless of being steamed or raw. Packed
with weight loss boosters, broccoli is very high in Vitamin C, making
1 cup of broccoli the equivalent of an orange!
*Quick tip: Cabbage, cauliflower, fresh asparagus and
carrots are also favoured vegetables here at Bondi Beach Tea Co. If
you want to eat your vegetables cooked, steam them or stir fry
them briefly in coconut oil.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3757281/
What to Eat?
Sprouted Seeds
Sprouted seeds, such as flaxseeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds, all
contain high amounts of healthy fibre which can help to support
weight loss. These food items are also high in protein and contain
omega-3 fats, which can help you to feel fuller for longer, and
ultimately assist a good metabolism.
* Quick tip: Include seeds such as chia, flaxseeds or hemp
seeds into a healthy fruit smoothie or use as extras in your baking.
Green Tea
This wonder drink has been proven through Penn State University
research to burn more calories when taking EGCG (the compound
in green tea) in conjunction with a high-fat diet, as compared to a
high-fat diet without the green tea supplement. Results equally
indicate that weight gained throughout this research was slower
when EGCG was consumed. Most of our Bondi Beach tea range
contains green tea, perfect for boosting weight loss!
Did you know green tea has other beneficial properties, such as
carrying antioxidants which are great for skin and playing a part in
the reduction of bad cholesterol? As well as this, the antioxidant
Catechin found in green tea is known to destroy bacteria, and
Theanine, which is also found in green tea, is thought to provide
mental tranquillity and reduce depression.

What to Eat?
Fruits and Berries
Look for organic, seasonal, non-tropical and non-citrus fruits to
snack on. However, some citrus exceptions are lemon, lime and
grapefruit as they contain properties beneficial for helping to
cleanse the liver.
Berries are one of the best sources of vitamins and antioxidants and
are excellent for weight loss.
Listed below are some of our favourite fruits and berries and their
various benefits.
Also remember that when consuming carbohydrates like fruit, it is
more beneficial to have them in the morning and around work-out
sessions.
Blueberry
One cup of blueberries contains 4g of fibre and only 80 calories.
Blueberries are also traditionally known for their anti-aging
properties.
A study authored by Dr Elizabeth Devore of Brigham also proposed
that eating at least one serve of these low-fat berries a week slowed
cognitive decline (or memory loss) by several years.
Raspberry
One cup of raspberries contains 8g of fibre and only 65 calories, and
is therefore perfect for sweetening oatmeal, yoghurt and water.
Raspberries contain a diverse amount of antioxidants, with
properties that serve as anti-inflammatories.
Watermelon
The amino acid Arginine, which is found in watermelon, can lower
your body fat and accelerate the rate of the healing of wounds .
Did you know that you can eat watermelon rind too? It contains
plenty of healthy components including chlorophyll, which is
responsible for building and repairing blood. The rind even contains
more of the amino acid Citrulline than the pink flesh.
*Quick tip: try blending or juicing watermelon rind with a
little lemon and ice for a refreshing, body-boosting treat.

What to Eat?
Grapefruit
The Journal of Medicinal Food has found that those who
consume half a grapefruit before every meal over 12 weeks
can shed 1.6kg more than those who don’t. Grapefruits are
also traditionally known to lower insulin levels and prevent
the storage of fat.
Containing at least 90% water and being a good source of
vitamin C, grapefruits fill you up and share their nutritional
benefits with you at the same time.
*Quick tip: as a vitamin C-enriched snack with
added benefits for your metabolism, add some grapefruit
slices to a salad of spinach and kale leaves. Alternatively,
throw some grapefruit into a juice smoothie to help you
lose weight faster!
Avocado
This fruit is packed with fibre, protein, and good fats.
Fortunately, the oleic acid, which is found in avocados, is a
healthy monounsaturated fat that can kerb hunger quickly.
The recommended daily intake for weight management is a
quarter to half of an avocado.
Did you know that avocados contain more potassium than a
banana? One avocado contains approximately 975mg of
potassium, while a banana contains just half of that, at
487mg.
*Quick tip: avocados taste great in smoothies too – next
time try adding a quarter of an avo instead of a banana to
your favourite blend.
Avocados are the perfect partner to a good salad.
Alternatively, for a great snack on the go, enjoy some
freshly mashed avocado with raw carrot sticks, broccoli and
celery.

What to Eat?
Apple
Those famous “an apple a day…” sayings aren’t just there for
fun. Apples are excellent low-calorie snacks. They are high
in the antioxidants that are known to prevent metabolic
syndrome or excess belly fat, which is a typical cause of the
‘pear shaped’ body (go figure).
*Quick tip: stewed, mashed apples are great to use in
baking as a sugar substitute.

Grains and Legumes
Kidney Beans
Kidney beans contain more than 5g of protein and fibre per serving
while being rich in resistant starch. Also, just half a cup of kidney
beans will deliver almost 2g of carbs. They are also an excellent
source of folate.
Chick Peas
Chick peas are a great source of fibre, protein and healthy fats and
contain approximately 4g of resistant starch in a single cup.
Brown Rice
Compared to white rice, brown rice packs a heartier meal with 3.4g
of resistant starch in every cup. White rice quickly converts to sugar
in the body, and we want to avoid any sugar spikes in our blood to
ensure weight loss is achieved.
*Quick tip: white rice quickly converts to sugar in the
body. On this detox plan, it is important to avoid any sugar spikes in
your blood to optimal ensure weight loss is achieved. Brown rice is a
better alternative
Quinoa
Relatively low in carbohydrates and loaded with 8g of protein and
5g of fibre per cup, quinoa is recommended for those who would
like to control their sugar levels. Quinoa contains quercetin and
kaempferol, which are plant compounds responsible for controlling
inflammation.
Black Beans
At 15g of protein per cup and no saturated fat, black beans contain
fibre, potassium, folate, vitamin B6 and phytonutrient content. All of
these minerals are essential for healthy digestion, cardiovascular
health and cholesterol control.

Flavonoid-Rich Food Supplementation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4690090/
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds should be consumed in moderation. They
contain a very high calorie and fat content, and can cause
weight gain when consumed in more than one snack sized
serving.
Greek Yoghurt
Plain, unsweetened and full-fat yoghurt is the way to go. Greek
yoghurt is one of the best foods to get your protein and fat-fighting
calcium intake. It is a healthy snack with double the protein, half the
carbs and half the sodium of the regular variety of yoghurt! Add in
some berries and a few nuts and you’ve just created a small meal!
*Quick tip: add some berries and a few raw nuts into
Greek yoghurt to create a small, flavour-packed, healthy meal.
Dark Chocolate
A relief for all chocolate lovers! Unlike white and milk chocolate,
dark chocolate is loaded with monounsaturated fats which increase
metabolism and burn more calories. Satisfying your cravings for salt,
sweet or fats, this antioxidant-rich treat will leave you feeling fuller
for longer. Please make sure that you choose dark chocolate with a
low sugar content.
What to Drink?
Water
The most important drink to have during your Bondi Beach Tea Co. program is
water. And, lots of it! Keep yourself hydrated with 1.5L – 2L every day. You can
even add fresh lemon, lime or grapefruit juice to aid digestion and enhance the
flavour.
Bondi Beach Tea blends
Drinking your Bondi Beach Tea without milk or sugar is an integral part of the
program to help increase your metabolism and the ability to cleanse your body.
Juice
Wheatgrass, spirulina and chlorella drinks can be found easily and taken as a
liquid supplement. In addition to those, fresh pressed vegetable juice (e.g. carrot,
beetroot, cucumber, spinach, etc.) and super juices (e.g. aloe vera, acai berry, etc.)
are great to be consumed as long as they are sugar-free, preservative-free and
additive-free.
Coconut Water
Coconut water is packed with natural electrolytes which are essential for gut
health. “It is refreshing and has a thermogenic effect on the body,” says Lola Berry
of the 20/20 Diet. No added sugar or flavour needed for this drink!
*Quick tip: consider freezing some coconut water in summer for a
sweet, guilt-free icy treat. And instead of artificially-flavoured energy drinks, make
up a bottle of juice-infused coconut water to enjoy during your next workout
session. But with a subtle, pleasant taste, coconut water can be enjoyed straight
up too!

Bonus Health and Wellbeing Tips!
The following information provides additional benefits for your body and overall
wellbeing while detoxing. We recommend you take all of these bonus tips into
consideration.
Sleep
Get enough sleep. Aim for 7 to 9 hours every night. Lack of sleep can cause
significant changes in the body and increases the risk of more serious health
issues. A European study concluded that those who generally sleep for less than
six hours a night are 12% more likely to experience a premature death.
Yoga
Just 20 minutes of yoga per day can potentially aid in weight loss while
rejuvenating mental positivity and improving posture.
Exfoliate
Did you know that, typically, 90% of the dust within a home comprises of dead
skin cells (yuck!). Using a high-quality exfoliating body scrub will help to improve
your skin health while detoxing and keep your home skin cell-free! Exfoliating
helps to remove dead skin cells which gives your skin a healthy all-over glow.
Moreover, when you look good, you feel so much better too.
Avoid Scale-Dependence
When you are trying to get healthy and kick weight, the scales are not necessarily
going to be your best friend. Getting fit and healthy often means that you gain
more muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Scale-dependence can be
misleading, so if you want to track your progress, try taking body measurements
instead.

Bonus Health and Wellbeing Tips!
Stock Pile
It may sound basic, but stockpiling healthy snack foods at home is a good
measure to avoid temptation should hunger pangs set in. Before you start your
health regime, eliminate bad foods from the pantry or fridge and replace them
with healthy snacks. Make sure you have plenty on hand to grab and go. Avoid
stopping into the shops or the local fast food driveway while out and about, and
don’t ever shop on an empty stomach!
Keep a stash of pre-washed, fresh fruits in a glass bowl on the benchtop. Visibility
means they are more likely to be eaten instead of avoided. We like to call this the
“see no evil, eat no evil” method.
Eat Slowly
Your stomach takes around 20 minutes to register that it is full and while chewing
your food, your brain processes that you are indeed eating. Enzymes are released
in your saliva during this time, which is the process required for digestion.
Chewing slowly not only helps to enjoy the flavours of your food, it eases
digestion in that your brain catches up with your body. Ultimately, this can help to
consume less calories as your body registers that it is satisfied before over eating.
If you are known for eating fast, just put down your fork between bites and take a
little break.
Downsize Meals
Known for over-eating? Just plate up on a smaller-sized dinner plate.
Intermittent Fasting
When detoxing especially, when you eat is almost as important as what you eat.
So, to boost your weight loss regime you might also like to try intermittent fasting.
Fasting can be defined as a time when you choose to abstain from, or reduce
some of your food and drink intake.

Intermittent Fasting
When detoxing especially, when you eat is almost as important as what you eat.
So, to boost your weight loss regime you might also like to try intermittent fasting.
Fasting can be defined as a time when you choose to abstain from, or reduce
some of your food and drink intake.
As a guide, our team suggest trying the 16:8 method – fasting for 16 hours and
eating within an eight (8) hour window of the day. Most people who follow this
method will either fast by skipping breakfast, having a late breakfast, or by
skipping dinner. Intermittent fasting involves having the same amount of calorie
intake for the day, but rather than spreading it out, intake is squeezed it into a
smaller window across the day.
Reward Yourself
A new health plan or regime can be tough to keep up. When you have done great
work, it is good to give yourself a reward. But rewarding yourself with something
from the naughty list has the potential to undo all of that good. Instead of doing
so, treat yourself with non-food related spoils instead. Perhaps you can splurge a
little on the sporting equipment you have had your eye on. Or, treat yourself to a
massage for all your hard work.

Reintroduction of Wheat and Sugar Post-Detox
Take note that after detoxing, you should re-introduce wheat and sugar slowly
and look out for symptoms like digestive distress, aching joints, bloating or
sluggishness. If you do notice any of these symptoms, it could be caused by
sensitivity towards gluten or sugar. In this case, these foods may need to be
limited on a long-term basis. Consult a health care professional for advice.
If you are on medication, always consult your general practitioner before starting
a detox. If you have recently been unwell, do not begin the detoxification process
as it may further strain your body. Instead, give yourself a few weeks to recover
before starting your new regime.

Putting the Pieces Together!
If you want to reduce inflammation in
the body, increase your metabolism
and cleanse your body, the most
important thing you can do while on
this program is to cut out sugar and
wheat, and drink our teas.
Break it Up
This tip is particularly helpful for those who have limited time
to fit in long workout sessions. If you simply don’t have the
time, break it up into shorter sessions throughout the day. Try
doing a quick cardio session before breakfast in the morning,
a 10-minute walk during your lunch break at work, and a post-
dinner weight session as you enjoy your favourite show on
the television. Weight training helps to tone your muscles,
speed metabolism and polishes off a workout session.
For more information and training tips on burst training, check out some of the
burst training videos available on YouTube.
There is no rule to say you need to pack everything into one session on our
program. Have some fun with it and do it as you can.
Doing an activity that you don’t favour so much will make you less likely to stick
with your exercise regime. So, if there is an exercise that simply rubs you up the
wrong way, don’t force yourself to do it. Just change it up for something else
that you fancy a little more. Working out should not be a chore, it should be
something you look forward to getting stuck into regularly.!
Bonus Exercise Tips!
Set Some Goals
Setting yourself a fitness goal gives you something additional to strive
for and satisfaction when you achieve it. Along your journey, try
setting some realistic expectations for yourself; jog 5km non-stop,
master a tough pose while doing yoga, complete a 3-minute plank
without failing. Whatever it be, large or small, goals help to get you
another step forward and go for something bigger next time!
Good luck.
