As we have all been enjoying the Holidays this year, some times people fear the holidays the most because of all the baking goods such as Christmas cookies, traditional sweets like gingerbread houses, candy, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and everything else that comes along with the Holidays. DONT FEAR! I have an eating program that I would love to share with you that is realistic and 100% clean eating! So when the holiday dinners come like Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years parties you dont have to sweat it! You can fully enjoy your dinners as long as the rest of your eating is clean on a regular basis. Here is a meal plan that I myself am currently on daily, remember the key to a lean figure is simply Clean Eating.
Meal one: Regular 1 CUP oatmeal with any choice of fruit. Egg whites (you can add salsa and 1 slice cheese) 1CUP orange juice
Meal two:
Option A) Half sandwhich on Honey oat or wheat bread with tuna or turkey mustard (optional) FAT FREE mayo (optional) Regular mayo is full of fat and contains 11 grams of fat in a tbsp!! (may add any veggies you like) 1slice of cheese if you did not already use your one slice for breakfast. You can pair your half sandwhich with a bag of sunchips, veggies, fruit, rice cake, or 1 serving of any progresso or healthy soup.
Option B) Any salad of choice, (tuna chickem, asian) just make sure to look at nutrition facts first. Some salads come off as being healthy, but really filled with hidden calories and extra fats we want to stay away from! Example all salads at Mcdonalds including their dressing. Always use fat free dressing or a healthy dressing.
Option C) Subway 6 inch sub on honey oat omega 9 bread, turkey, LITE mayo mustard pack on veggies, any cheese, make it a meal grab sunchips or anything baked by Lays, No im sorry no cookies :) and a diet soda, water, or green tea and you have a great, filing lunch on the go!
Pre Dinner: Protein or slim fast shake. This is the meal where it after lunch but right before dinner and usually Im craving something sweet, which is great because your protein or slim fast shake will really come in handy.
Meal Four: Its dinner time and we need to choose a protein such as tuna, any type of fish such as tilopia, salmon, or halibut, Grilled chicken breast paired with a serving size of steamed veggies or a salad with light dressing ofcourse ;) After dinner if you are absolutely going crazy and craving everything!! You can allow yourself to have a rice cake or a fat free yogurt otherwise dinner really should be your last meal of the day.
Your last meal of the day should be anywhere from 6:00 to 7:00 and after that NO more eating until morning. While we sleep our bodies can burn up to 400 calories during an 8 hour period of sleep on an empty stomach! So stay strong and get plenty of sleep! Our bodies need this time to rest not worry about all that food we ate super late. Yes, trust me I know its hard but nothing is a better feeling then getting on the scale the next morning and seeing those numbers getting lower and lower. Honestly that feeling in itself is incredible and fills you with ambition and motivation to keep going!
Happy Holidays! Stay Strong and workout hard!!
