K.I.S.S. This Meal Plan!! (Keep It Super Simple)

K.I.S.S. This Meal Plan!! (Keep It Super Simple) If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, but meal planning can be a huge stumbling block on the road to your health and fitness goals with too many options and recipes to choose from! So here s a meal plan to get you headed quickly on the road to success! Variety in your diet is important, but don t feel like you have to kill yourself in the kitchen! Rotate these easy meals as it s convenient for you you may do several days of the same meal in a row, or change it up more often whatever works for you! Your Exercise program and the Challenge Group you are a part of have plenty more meal options (Diet and Nutrition page -with printable shopping lists!), but this should help to get you started without feeling overwhelmed. Of course, if even THIS seems like too much to fit in your busy lifestyle, consider switching out either breakfast or lunch with Shakeology like I do. It s a good idea to have some on hand for those extra busy days when even the best laid plans go awry life happens, you know?! Hope this helps Enjoy! *A note about Power Cooking: This is something to really help simplify the process. Take an hour or so on the weekend, or whenever is convenient for you, to Power Cook for the week. Slice and Dice everything you ll need to help make meal prep a breeze. Take your chicken breasts and pre-cook a few and have them sliced and ready to add to salads or put in wraps. Make a big ol pot of brown rice and have it ready to just re-heat and serve. This is the stuff that doesn t take much time when you have the time, but seems like it takes forever when you don t! Step 1: Pantry/Fridge Clean Out! Get rid of everything with High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). Throw out desserts- I KNOW it s painful, but do you want this or not? Decide, Commit, SUCCEED! You can t give in to temptation if the temptation isn t there! Switch out processed white foods with whole grain options. This means white rice, white bread, white flour cereals and crackers. Aspartame especially not in the first 3-5 ingredients Get rid of alcohol. Give it away, throw it away, have a party...just get rid of it. You DO want to see those abdominals, right? RIGHT?!
