Your Step by Step Plan
We've talked about your period of exploration. What was that trip to the supermarket like? Did you try any of the recipes that sounded good to you? Has anyone been adventurous enough to try some of the things that I've demonstrated during our Tasty Tuesday sessions? Just let me know and I will include it on my recipe page.
Keeping in line with your weight loss goals, develop a plan using the foods that you have explored. Don't forget the protein page from Week Five. This will be a necessary guide if you are moving over to a plant based diet. Be very careful not to overdue the grains and starchy vegetables. Often this is the pitfall for many moving in this direction. Yes, potatoes and plantains are starches. These are to be eaten in very small amounts. Rice and pastas are to be had in moderation as well. So you say, what can I have a lot of.
We live in America! We want everything supersized. I realize that this blog maybe wouldn't work so well in Texas . You can have all the green leafy vegetables you want. Kale, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, and broccoli are my best friends. Fill half of your plate with any one of these, add some slow cooked delicious beans and complete your plate with a small piece of broiled butternut squash and you'll have a life changing experience. I realize that some people will say, this tastes great and would be better with a piece of meat. Try it without the meat for a week and see how you feel.
Please let me know if you do this on the Blog.
