successful daily menus

[kathy in California]

Lets start posting our daily menus especially when they show us a nice loss the next day! It could really come in handy when one of us is at a loss of what to eat for a day. There are some days that I wish I had a book with 45 days of menu plans (that fit within our protocol) and weekly shopping lists!

Carla has been doing really great; here is a quote from one of her posts:

Here's what I eat in a typical day:

a.m. - organic grapefruit, melba toast

lunch - huge salad with romaine lettuce, diced celery, chopped tomatoes, topped with strips of either grilled organic chicken or steak.  I use my own oil free dressing consisting of apple cider vinegar, brown mustard, and water.

snack - organic apple, melba toast

dinner - Grilled wild-caught mahi mahi and a whole bowl of steamed asparagus.

I'm posting this earlier quote from Hans, so you can see that some people do two raw salads per day:

This has been my daily routine for the past week and it seems to be working, though maybe not as well as some others.  I've lost 10 lbs in 7 days.

- Shot & weigh in at 9:00 am.

- Snack around 10:00-11:00 am when I have a grapefruit (try to get organic when I can)

- Lunch is approx 100 grams of protien (either grilled chicken breast or steak or a combo of both...I pre-grilled several days worth in advance and use it cold in a salad) with a large salad consisting of 1/2 seedless cucumber, several inches of white raddish or several red radishes, 1/2 celery stalk, 1-2 tomatoes, 1/4 onion, handful lettuce, liberal amounts of unfiltered apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes.

- Dinner is the same as Lunch

- 10:00 pm snack is one apple (organic if possible)

During the day I drink at least 1/2 gallon of water.  That's about it!

The salads are actually pretty good and quite filling!
