Amy, can you tell us what your typical meals are...like what do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am having such a hard time getting protein in and water is worse. I need some inspiration. Thanks Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,

I really try to concentrate on Protein and Plants! I shop the perimeter of the grocery store and that really helps.

Breakfast:

Bacon or sausage
Egg
Water w/ lemon or Hot Tea
Or
1 oatmeal packet

Lunch:
Chicken or white flaky fish
Broccoli
Watermelon or strawberries or an apple
or
French Onion Soup w/ cheese and no crouton
Chicken Tortilla soup

Dinner:
Same as lunch

Snacks:
Cheese stick wrapped with turkey or chicken lunch meat with a little spicy dijon mustard
Ostrim Pepper beef stick
2 tsp peanut butter
organic applesauce cup
Rootbeer Popsicle (my cheat)


I am not big on protein shakes....I try, I just can't stand them. I hope this help you.

LOL, it's there! I am 5'7. I have always been fortunate in my weight gain that it has always been fairly proportionate. I have never been the one that had the huge rear-end and small waist or vise versa. I do have belly fat and have been concentrating on limiting my sugar intake to 15 grams....which is VERY difficult. But limiting carbs and sugar intake helps speed up your metabolism and reduce belly fat quicker.

This post was very inspirational. I can only hope after 4 1/2 months I will be doing as well as you are. Im really having a hard time getting enough protein down. I to dont much like the protein shakes, but usually Ill have one every couple few days to boost the protein. I also have to get off my butt and get to the gym. Im planning on buying a bicyle next week to get myself started. Im rewarding myself with a cruise to Jamaica the end of April, so hopefully by then ill be looking FABULOUS! Congrats on your success.
