Eating "clean" is the first thing you can do to increase your energy, look younger, feel better, and LOSE WEIGHT. Follow the simple (but not easy) steps below to make way for a better YOU!
- Talk to your family, friends, and people that you live with. Let them know about your lifestyle change and discuss ways that it will impact them (if at all). Also, let them know what you'll need from them (or need them to stop doing).
- By December 1st, you should do a trial week of the eating program (Steps 4-10). You only have to commit to 7 days. See how it goes and record your daily progress.
- On January 2nd, 2015, REPEAT STEPS 4-10. This time, it's the real deal! Your START DATE will be January 5, 2015. Its'a an 84-day journey, so keep thinking about how great you'll feel by March 29!
- Complete the DREAM LIST and BEFORE PHOTO AND MEASUREMENTS forms and add them to your journal. Take a look at the SAMPLE DREAM LIST if you're looking for ideas.
- Clean out your cabinets and refrigerator. Get rid of all the "what not to eat" items. You can donate the unopened packages to a food bank or just throw them in the garbage. Remember: out of sight, out of mind.
- Look over the APPROVED FOOD LIST and create a menu for the week.
- Record your daily menu on the EATING for LIFE worksheet. You're planning 6 meals a day for 6 out of 7 days of the week. SAMPLE DAILY MENU attached.
- Make a grocery list based on the needed items and go shopping.
- Prepare all the food you'll need for the week beforehand. This will save you time and will prevent you from failure later.
- Plan your cheat day! You get 1 day of the week to eat WHATEVER you want. Enjoy the break - you deserve it!
