6-Week Meal Plan

Breakfast

-3 egg whites

-two tablespoons of salsa

-peppers, tomatoes, spinach

-blueberries or strawberries (1/2 cup)

2-3 hours after Breakfast

Snack #1

-small tuna pack or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter

-small apple

2-3 hours after Snack #1

Lunch

-4 oz. poultry

-veggies (no potatoes, corn, or onions)

2-3 hours after Lunch

Snack #2

-almonds (about 23 almonds)

I usually work out and then have my post-workout smoothie between my 2nd snack and dinner. I'm hypoglycemic, so I needed this extra sugar around this time each day, but whenever you work out, make sure to have your smoothie!

2-3 hours after Snack #2

Dinner

-4 oz. poultry or fish

-veggies (no potatoes, corn, or onions)

2-3 hours after Dinner

Snack #3

-cottage cheese (1 serving)

-celery (as much as you want)

All of this should be coupled with at least 8 cups of water a day.

If you have an exercise routine, try and add a post-workout fruit and protein smoothie within 30 minutes of completing your workout.

You may also drink coffee/tea with a little milk added. If you really have to add a sweetener, try Stevia in the Raw. It has zero calories, and there aren't negative health risks that I've heard of.

Also, and this is very important, every two weeks on this plan, you really should take a day and eat as many carbs as you want. On my diet, I ate gluten-free pancakes for breakfast with bananas, a salad with lots of dressing for lunch, and gluten-free pasta for dinner with gluten-free garlic bread. I also allowed myself ice cream, or some kind of sugary treat. This kind of resets your metabolism after two weeks of strict dieting. The key is to go back into the diet the next day.
