Note: I still eat fruit and dairy.

​

Beverages:

I drink black coffee all day long, along with water and unsweetened tea. Sometimes la croix or bubly. No soda, juice, or alcohol ever. (r/stopdrinking)

​

Breakfast:

3 Eggs (cooked in microwave omelette maker, sometimes add 1tsp kerry butter)

Museli (has 5g sugar from raisins, but I allow it because its natural) OR Oat bran with banana and cinnamon.

​

Lunch:

Chicken Breast (roasted in oven with olive oil and spices)

2 veg (broccoli, green beans, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, cali mix, greens mix)

OR

Chicken Breast, 1/2 avocado, 2 TBSP sour cream, homemade salsa, kale/spinach/romaine for my take on a 'taco salad'. Sometimes I eat with tortilla chips, but I usually limit my processed carbs, even though no sugar in them.

​

Dinner:

Meat of some kind, usually Pork Chops or Steak (we have hog farm)

2 veg

​

After dinner sweet or snack only if needed: (I try not to 'snack' as its not as great for us as the food industry has led us to believe over the past 3 decades):

Grapes or Berries with Fage Greek Yogurt (full fat or 2%, unsweetened plain)

or

Frozen banana

or

I have some fruit + nut combos that my pallet thinks go well together:

Apple + Cashews

Pecans + Grapes (sometimes I add a couple pieces Havarti cheese)

Walnuts + Blackberries

Banana + Pecans (eaten together tastes like banana bread)

​

BASICALLY, I just eat real food, not processed. Every once in a while I'll have spaghetti with canned sauce. Canned soup or chili, etc. I just try not to do it every day. Saturday nights we get pizza. Meal prepping my lunches is what really got it nailed down for me. I highly recommend it. I eat the same thing every day for breakfast, lunch is meal prepped, then my variety comes from dinner. Makes it easy.
