I finally got serious about getting the last 10lbs off, and not just any meal plan would do. Whether you are just starting out with weight-loss, or losing that last 10lbs, consistency is key! I was belly aching to my boyfriend how I've "Tried everything!" and I'll "never" lose the last of this weight. Well, he eats clean, the same thing, every day, 6 days a week and has one "cheat" per week. He asked me to give it a good solid commitment, 100%, for 14 days straight. No cheats during that 14 days, no deviations, 100% commitment. I did, and holy smokes was I blown away. I lost 7lbs, My body totally changed shape, I had so much energy, I saved so much money on food, I dealt with some social situations involving food, and I did fine. I went to a movie and I didn't die without the popcorn, andI survived without wine and refined sugar. My nutrition was predictable, easy to plan (maybe a little boring, but you get over that after day 6ish) and you would be so surprised how unappealing junkfood is, when you've filled your belly with lean protien, veggies and sweet potato! This is what I ate:
M1: 1/2c. (dry measure) steel cut oats, 1 scoop protien powder
M2: 4 kavati crisp crackers, 1 tin tuna
M3: 4oz lean meat (chick or beef), 1/2c. sweet potato, 2c. steamed veg
M4: 1/2c. yogurt or cottage, 1c. mixed berries
M5: 4oz lean meat, 1/2c. sweet potato, 2c. steamed veg
before bed: 1 tablespoon of natural nut butter (I love mystery butter!)
Looooots of water, I had crystal light too, and diet pop. I drink, average, 6 liters per day of water. This worked, I was never hungry, and I woke up every morning knowing I ate healthy and clean, what a great feeling!
