UPDATED: 12/30/2009 - My diet has been updated to reflect some temporary but severe restrictions that our doctor has put on my son's diet. I've joined him! Our diet is restrictive for roughly a 6-week period and we will begin to re-introduce wheat (whole grains) after the 6 weeks are up. For now, all carbohydrates are from vegetables.
So I thought I would share my diet and exercise plan. Keep in mind, I have been making slow changes over the past year and this is where I am right now. It's important when doing your personal assessment to consider where you are and where you want to get to and make the changes necessary to achieve your own personal goals. This is my plan!
MEAL OPTIONS:
BREAKFAST:
2 scrambled or hardboiled eggs with sliced or cherry tomatoes or side of salsa
Veggie Shake
LUNCH/DINNER:
chicken, turkey, or fish with steamed or fresh veggies
salad greens
raw nuts
Dressings: oil and vinegar
(For frying: I cook everything with either olive oil, butter or almond butter. Otherwise, steam or bake it)
SNACKS:
Fresh or dried natural fruit
Raw vegetables
Raw nuts
DRINKS:
Water
Raw milk
Coconut milk
Almond milk
GUIDELINES:
Meals = 300-400 calories each
Snacks = 150-200 calories each
Water = drink 64-100 oz per day
Drink 1 cup of water before each meal and with each snack
Eat every 3-4 hours
Eat veggies with every meal
Eat fruit by itself (for maximum nutrient absorption)
EXERCISE
GUIDELINES:
Move at least 30 minutes every morning
- Gym workout
- Walk the dogs
- Home fitness video
- Wii Fit
Walk/Jog/Run 3x per week

Thanks for sharing this, Shannon.
ReplyDeleteI think, for me, I'm going to have to put thought into how to transition from my current diet to something approximating what you show in yours. In the past I've tried to take it a meal at a time. (i.e. first fix breakfast, then fix lunch, etc.) I don't know how you went about your transition but I would love to hear about that sometime if you get the time.
The only thing that I can share at the moment that others may use also is that back when I was single I owned a double-decker steamer. They are great as far as convenience and health.
Thanks again for sharing.
