Hopefully from the last two posts you have formed a way of monitoring what you eat and how much.  Let’s take it one step further with an actual meal plan recommendation. ;)

Breakfast:

Tea (preferably non-caffeinated) with a tablespoon of soymilk

Fruit- a bowl of fresh berries, a slice of cantaloupe, or half a grapefruit with agave (a natural non-sugar sweetener made from the nectar of cacti)

-eating fruit in the morning is the best way to allow for the cleaning process that takes place during sleep to continue as it is light and your body can easily process it.

AM Snack: (around 10 or 11am)

Raw Almonds- two tablespoons

or

One rice cake with one tablespoon peanut or almond butter

Lunch:

Steamed veggies (carrot, broccoli, kale, squash, brussel sprouts, tofu etc) with ½ cup cooked brown rice

Miso soup

One piece of dark chocolate- 20-30 grams

PM Snack: (around 4pm)

Six chips with salsa

or

Hummus with five carrot sticks

or

One piece of fruit- an apple or an orange

Dinner: (allow three hours before going to bed)

A 4 oz piece of cooked fish in olive oil with steamed spinach and a ½ cup of quinoa

or

One cup of hearty vegetable stew with ½ cup cooked brown rice

Night time indulgence:

A cup of Yogi’s caffeine-free cocoa tea

Hot water with lemon and a teaspoon of agave
