NEW!! 2017 Menu & Grocery List!!

HELLO! I am so excited to introduce the newest round of 17 Days! After using this diet for almost 6 years I've come up with the plan that I like BEST! 

We are still following the simple guidelines of: 

2-2-3-Unlimited

2 - Fruit servings before noon
2 - Probiotic servings
3 - Cups of green tea
Unlimited: Lean protein & veggies 
(and as much lemon water as you can) 

I follow a super simple menu of 7 meals (one designated to each day of the week) and a set menu through the day: (seen below) 

DAILY MENU:
6:00 – Warm Lemon Water         
7:30 – 2 Egg Whites + 1 Whole Egg Scramble w/ Salsa & ½ of an avocado or 1 Guac. Mini
9:30– Yogurt + Apple or Blueberries
11:30 – 2 Cuties + Yakult
1:00 – “Salad” / dinner left over from the night before
3:30 – Traffic Pack – On the go veggies (Cherry Tomato, Snap Peas, Baby Carrots)
6:00 – Dinner

WEEKLY DINNER MENU: 


Wednesday – BBQ Chicken, Roasted Carrots & Brussels Sprouts or Peas
** TIP: I go to Costco on Wednesdays to buy my rotisserie chicken. I purchase two and shred them at home. To have from Wednesday Dinner to Saturday Lunch. (that means .. NO Defrosting! NO Preparing/ Marinading! NO More Baking MEAT! for the rest of the week!!! Its all ready for you! (if you feeding more than two adults with this chicken I would purchase 3)  











Thursday – Greek Chicken, Salad, Red Onion, Tomato, Cucumber, Olive, Avocado, Light Greek Dressing















Friday Mexican Chicken, Salsa, Fajita Veggies, Lettuce or Cabbage 

** TIP: Use Butter Lettuce as lettuce cups/ shells for faux tacos! 







Saturday – Italian Turkey, Spaghetti Squash or Zucchini Noodles, Light Tomato Sauce, Frozen Veggie Medley 


















Sunday – Salmon & Green Beans ( photo coming soon ) ** TIP: I work in an office and I wont bring fish to work as a left over to be heated in the microwave (in case it gets fishy) so there are no left overs for Monday ... Ill pack a salad with chicken for lunch or extra turkey marinara and zucchini noodels



Monday – Chicken Sausage, Carrots and Asparagus   
**TIP: One Sausage is PLENTY! They do have more fat than I would typically suggest BUT they break up the week with a new flavor! 











Tuesday – Turkey Burger, Fried Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Lettuce, Onion with Grilled Zucchini
