6. Types of program
The Bioimis Nutritional Program is based on nutritional advice made up of only natural food. All rules and principles of the Bioimis Program are described in detail in Quick Guides which will be made available throughout the Service; please read these Guides carefully before starting the Program.
The Bioimis Nutritional Program involves two Plans: Ideal Fit Plan and Forever Fit Plan.
Ideal Fit Plan
Ideal Fit Plan is used to better one's own physical shape, therefore suitable for losing weight, too.
Thanks to a balanced nutrition and dietary advice related to only common and natural food customized on the data and feelings daily communicated, losing weight in a natural and healthy way is possible.
Ideal Fit Plan has two modes: Ideal Fit Plan Fast and Ideal Fit Plan Soft.
Ideal Fit Plan Fast is the original formula and it normally determines faster weight loss.
The above mentioned plan promotes single-food consumption, along with some food items (such as pasta, rice, vegetables, white meat, red meat, eggs, fish, fresh and dried fruit) which are normally eaten for lunch or dinner, but here proposed for breakfast.
Ideal Fit Plan Soft Mode is by contrast the ideal program for whoever prefers a slower and less intense weight-loss and for those who want to detoxify while learning in the successive stages how to ensure a healthy and natural diet in the future.
The above mentioned plan suggests food combinations for each meal and breakfasts that are more similar to a traditional Italian breakfast.
Forever Fit Plan
Forever Fit Plan represents the real Bioimis secret and it is dedicated to whoever is interested in learning how one's own body reacts to each single food item or food combination. This plan will teach you how to keep the weight and shape achieved while enjoying eating.
Forever Fit Plan allows to create your own menus with breakfasts, lunches, and dinners made of food combinations.
Forever Fit Plan is made up of 4 Stages: 1st Keep Fit, 2nd Test, 3rd Free Meal, 4th Check Up.
There are no maximum quantities to be respected and all cooking methods are permitted along with the free use of extra virgin olive oil.
Any food replacement the Client implements to the food recommended by the Company's Staff could negatively impact on the nutritional program.
The Company reserves the right to modify their Services at any time to improve their quality or to add new features or tools.
