I hope you took my advice and did all your shopping and prep work this past weekend (trust me it makes it so much easier). I also find it helpful to plan out all my meals and snacks for the week ahead. This way I am not scrambling to find something to eat or also so I don't just sit staring at all my fruit and veggies wondering what in the world I am to do with them. Planning out my meals also makes me look forward to making and enjoying them! For instance, I can't wait to make the Lettuce Wraps on Wednesday for lunch or to eat the Chilled Cucumber-Red Onion Salad I made as a snack for tomorrow!
If you find you are struggling with ideas for snacks or what to make for dinner tonight I recommend looking over the packet of recipes I gave to you. There really are some great ideas in there! You can also look up vegetarian dishes/sides on the Internet. You can always modify them if they don't fit the proper criteria for this program. The idea is to have a variety of foods to eat. Make each day interesting and try to incorporate a new veggie each day. This Program will go much smoother if you have variety. Make this 21 Journey fun and exciting (because IT IS!)!
Remember that you should be eating twice as many veggies as fruits! I know all us sugar lovers tend to go straight for the fruit and bypass the veggies, but vegetables are better at detoxifying the body than fruit is. Plus fruit does have sugar in it...so for those looking to drop a few pounds and fit into that special dress or those favorite pair of jeans might want to keep fruit to a minimum.
I also wanted to let you guys know how proud I am of you for taking the first step to better your health!
