Tomorrow marks the first day of an 8 week weight loss challenge being held at my office. I plan on participating in this, and want to continue using a minimal approach to my eating plan.
I'll be honest - I put a lot of thought into what type of foods I'll be eating during this challenge. The big decision was if I wanted to follow a starch/plant based diet, or follow a high fat/low carb diet. I've had great success with the latter option for weight loss, but for long term health and maintenance, and financial reasons, starch/plant based will be the eating plan I follow.
I plan on keeping my daily plan boring, on purpose. This will help me know what to eat and pack, and will also help break poor habits I have around food. I plan on consuming around 2200-2400 calories, and I'll try walking 4-6 miles per day, biking when the walking isn't met.
1 cup oatmeal
2 cups strawberry/raspberry
1 oz shredded, unsweetened coconut
1 cup kefir
3 cups sweet potato
2 cups steamed kale
2 cups sweet potato
5 oz fish/seafood/grass fed beef
Veggies of choice
Simple and easy. Covers every vitamin and mineral. Affordable. Easy to use to structure a maintainable diet after the 8 week challenge.
Let's do it.
