My eating plan is a breakfast of oatmeal with fruit ala Bob Harper and my addictive coffee with sugar and milk for breakfast. (Working on one thing at a time- sugary coffee will be tackled later). My morning snack has been delicious green smoothies. I blend whatever fruit I have on hand with water, spinach and flaxseed. I have become addicted to these smoothies daily. Lunch is a protein like chicken or turkey with whole wheat tortilla, spinach, lettuce and tomato. Dinner varies- but I try to have a lean meat and veggies as much as possible. I am currently avoiding breads and dairy. I find I feel better when I do this and my trainer friend, Kim, swears by it. My afternoon snacks lately have been hard-boiled egg whites, a banana, an apple or cucumbers with my homemade hummus.
I’ve also put a large jug of water with cut up lemons and limes in the refrigerator- so I have cold water on hand all day. I also keep a jug of green tea with lemon in the refrigerator and drink it throughout the afternoon. I usually drink another large mug of coffee with sugar and milk in the afternoon, but I have been trying to stick with green tea or water after breakfast. Another rule I am trying to stick to is no alcohol. I tend to drink wine on the weekends and although I enjoy it, I know it is just empty calories. That will be hard, but it is attainable.
