Fat Flush: Week 1 - The shopping and the meal planning!

 
 

Today was an adventure! It was my grocery shopping day.  Time to prepare for the next week or so.  Now, I have lots of choices when it comes to what to eat while on my Fat Flush Diet. 


 You may think that the food choices are limiting, but I can guarantee you that I will not be going hungry on this "diet".  Look at all the protein, fruits and vegetables.   The stuff you see in these pictures are things I picked up today.  I still have some food in my fridge and freezer that I will use to add to recipes (for example: I love frozen mustard greens mixed with a can of diced tomatoes).



I have my Week 1 Meal Plan already sorted out in my head.  I am a simpleton.  I can eat the same thing for breakfast every day, same lunch, same snack...as long as I don't have the same meal for each meal (i.e. breakfast, lunch AND dinner).

So here's my plan:

Breakfast:

Power Berry Shake

1 scoop of Whey Protein
1 cup of mixed berries (blueberries and raspberries)
1 cup of kale
1 cup of spinach
8 oz of Cran-Water Mixture

 Lunch: 

Slow Cooker Barbacoa
(prepared ahead of time) Recipe Link Here

Side Salad:
1 cup of Sweet Lettuce Mix
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tomato
1 slice red onion


 Dinner: 

This is where I will have my variety :)  I will update with recipes in the future.

-Harris Teeter Chicken (pictured in photo)
-Healthy Meatloaf
-Chicken with Stewed Tomatoes
-Spaghetti (Squash) and Turkey Meatballs
-Fajitas
-Turkey Burgers
-Stuffed Bell Peppers


Snacks: 

This is where I will take advantage of the extra fruit I can have (I already had my first portion in my shake).

Apples
Tangerines
Grapefruit with Cinnamon
Hard Boiled Egg (sprinkled with dry mustard)

Stay tuned...My goal is to check in and give feedback on my progress.  Ready...Set...Go!
