With a diet plan and some special drops from our naturopath we are embarking on a clean eating regime. The first 2 days were ‘loading’ days were we were encouraged to eat high fat foods in preparation for our low calorie diet for the next 3 weeks. I know I will be okay during the week while I am at work as my day is very structured however I am NOT looking forward to the weekend! So the first 3 weeks calories are quite low. You cannot do this plan without the drops or you will put your body into starvation mode so please do not copy the following food plan!
Non exercise days sample plan
B- 1 x orange, green tea
L- 100g chicken breast braised with garlic, ginger, chilli and mixed herbs, 2 cups of baby spinach, ¼ cup of the drained broth from the cooking process
D- 100g chicken breast, 2 cups of vegetables including carrot, broccoli and cauliflower
S- 1 x apple, unlimited green tea, at least 2 litres of water, natural low fat Greek yoghurt with a homemade strawberry sauce sweetened with stevia if desired
Exercise days sample plan
B- 6 egg white omelette with 1 x cup baby spinach, 1 x sliced tomato, mixed herbs
L- 100g Chicken breast, 2 cups of salad vegetables including lettuce, tomato, cucumber
D- 100g chicken breast, 2 cups of vegetables including carrot, broccoli and cauliflower
S- 1 x apple, unlimited green tea, at least 2 litres of water, 6 mini melba toast with diced tomato, onion and basil, natural low fat Greek yoghurt with a homemade strawberry sauce sweetened with stevia if desired
We are to carry out this strict regime for 3 weeks. At the end of the 3 weeks we are to stop the drops and slowly start introducing oily, startchy and carb foods back into our diet. We are to continue this for 3 weeks. If at the end of the 3 weeks we feel we still have weight to lose we repeat the 1st 3 weeks program. As you can see it is almost worth it to exercise just because of the extra food I get to eat! Being a non boxing day today I really missed my breakfast although I am satisfied at the moment. The process is meant to teach you to enjoy clean food and to eat smaller portions. When you get to the reintroducing stage you should be able to see the effect that these foods have on your body and the way they make you feel. You will naturally reject high calorie, high fat foods in favour of fresh clean foods.
I am excited!
